Yvonne Abel is a Chinese Medicine practitioner and massage therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience. She provides acupuncture and massage treatments in Beckenham, Crystal Palace and Bromley, helping people recover from injury, ease pain, reduce stress and support their health and wellbeing.
A Whole-Person Approach
Yvonne’s approach focuses on treating the whole person rather than simply addressing symptoms. Drawing on the principles of Chinese Medicine alongside hands-on therapies, every treatment is tailored to the individual, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance.
A Personal Journey into Chinese Medicine
Yvonne’s interest in Chinese Medicine began through personal experience. After developing IBS symptoms in her twenties, she explored a variety of treatment options before discovering acupuncture. Experiencing its benefits first-hand sparked a lasting interest in understanding how the body can heal when given the right support. She first completed a foundation in Shiatsu before going on to train professionally in acupuncture.
Yvonne trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and continues to further her studies in Classical Chinese Medicine. She is also a BTEC Level 5 Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist and a member of the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage (ISRM).
Clinical Experience
Since 2011, Yvonne has worked in multidisciplinary clinics, continually developing her knowledge and clinical skills. She has also provided group ear acupuncture for the mental health charity MIND, supporting people experiencing stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression and addiction.
Personalised Treatments
Today, Yvonne draws on Chinese Medicine alongside a range of hands-on therapies, including acupuncture, remedial massage, soft tissue therapy, pregnancy massage, Tuina, fire cupping, facial acupuncture, TMJ therapy and sound therapy. Every treatment is tailored to the individual, using the most appropriate techniques to support recovery, improve movement and long-term wellbeing.
Yvonne works with people experiencing a wide range of musculoskeletal and health concerns, helping them recover from injury, ease pain, improve movement and support their overall health and wellbeing. She also offers facial acupuncture to support healthy ageing and improve skin health.
Her aim is to help people move more comfortably, feel healthier and enjoy life with greater ease.
