Viviane Maia

BSc(Hons), Lic Ac, MBAcC

With a background in Yoga and Mindfulness, Viviane has extensive experience supporting both teens and adults in mental health settings, including hospitals across London. Her holistic, grounded approach to healing is deeply informed by her commitment to emotional balance, physical vitality, and long-term wellness.

Viviane graduated from the renowned College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, completing a four-year degree in acupuncture before undertaking an additional year of postgraduate training to specialise in Fertility, Pregnancy, and Obstetrics.

Her clinical style integrates Five Element acupuncture with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — a powerful combination that allows her to address the root causes of illness and restore harmony across body, mind, and spirit. She employs a wide range of techniques including moxibustion, electroacupuncture, auricular acupuncture, and cupping to enhance the impact of her treatments and support a full return to well-being.

Conditions Treated – TCM Focus

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, Viviane brings extensive experience in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and internal health conditions, with consistently positive outcomes. These include:

  • Chronic & acute back pain, sciatica, neck & shoulder tension
  • Joint pain, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, and postural issues
  • Neurological and autoimmune conditions such as MS, MND, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis
  • Pain disorders including migraines, tension headaches, trigeminal neuralgia
  • Hormonal imbalances, menstrual issues, perimenopausal symptoms
  • Digestive disorders and infertility

Each treatment is holistically tailored to restore physical vitality, regulate internal systems, and support the body’s natural healing capacity.

Emotional Health – Five Element Focus

Drawing on her deep training in Five Element acupuncture, Viviane ensures that every treatment is not only physically precise but also emotionally resonant. Five Element theory recognises that emotions are not separate from the body, but rather, essential to its healing. Viviane works with each patient’s unique constitution, life story, and emotional patterns — using acupuncture to create profound shifts in mood, resilience, and clarity.

Whether supporting someone through grief, anxiety, burnout, or life transitions, treatments are focused now only on offering relief but to create a space for transformation, insight, and inner alignment.

Professional Membership & Ethics

Viviane is a fully insured member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and upholds the highest standards of ethical practice, safety, and professionalism. She regularly attends continuing professional development to stay at the forefront of integrative, evidence-informed acupuncture.

Reviews for Viviane Maia

Viviane has helped me through a difficult period of both physical and emotional imbalance. She has used her considerable detective powers to find the sources of my disequilibrium, both in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine and general 21st-century self-destruction.
Via the patient use of acupuncture, along with calm and reassuring conversation, Viviane has restored my health and balance. Thank you, Viviane.

Gerard Reynolds

I couldn’t recommend Viviane more highly — she helped and supported me through my pregnancy from the very beginning and again around my due date. Her knowledge, wisdom and skill made each experience fantastic, and I really noticed the effects of the treatment (reduction in sickness and then labour!). Plus, she is a lovely person!

Iona Keene

Viviane is compassionate, wise and extremely skilled, and supported me fantastically when I was experiencing some stress and anxiety, along with some physical symptoms. Viviane listens and interprets what she hears and uses this to great effect in the application of the needles. She is gentle and ensures that optimum comfort is enjoyed throughout. I highly recommend Viviane.

Viv is amazing — has made such a difference to my quality of life in all aspects: controlling the pain and discomfort, sleep, eating, and emotional outlook on life. My confidence and anxiety are well under control. Thank you so much for your continued support, treatment, and guidance.

Hey Sunset

A very informative and pleasant experience which helped to rectify an ongoing lower back problem.

After years of trying different pain medications and hormonal contraceptives to control the symptoms of endometriosis and PMS, I decided to try acupuncture. I was skeptical at first but I’m now a huge fan! I couldn’t believe how quickly I responded to treatment. For the first time ever, my menstrual cycle has regulated and the symptoms are much more manageable. After my sessions, I feel calm, positive and like a weight has been lifted. The sessions are personalised to target my specific needs, and Viviane is always so caring and understanding. She’s been attentive and informative throughout. If you’re considering acupuncture, book the appointment — the results are so worth it!
