Sarah Crockford BSc (Hons) Acu. MBAcC
For most of her life, Sarah has had a keen interest in helping others, from a young age, she was a member of the Red Cross and attended many events as a first aider and ambulance person, before moving in to training others in first aid at work.
She runs a business providing festival welfare services with her partner.
Sarah gained a diploma in Shiatsu which sparked a keen interest in Chinese Medicine; the natural progression from this was to acupuncture and she graduated from the Northern College of Acupuncture (NCA), with a First Class Honours Degree.
She has undertaken additional training in Acupuncture for Muscular Skeletal issues and is a Level 2 Dr Tan Balance Technique Practitioner. Sarah is a clinic supervisor at the NCA, helping train the next generation of acupuncturists.
Shared with Chris, Sarah's interests include dogs, music, art, travel, anything creative, skiing, mountain biking and good company...


Chris Crockford BSc (Hons) Acu. MBAcC
Chris has worked on humanitarian and community action projects for the past thirty years. Originally training as a chiropodist, he also worked for the Red Cross as an ambulance person and as a trainer.
Subjects Chris taught included emergency care, administration of medication, advanced life support, paediatric care, psychological first aid, first aid for mountaineers, substance misuse, hazardous substances, casualty simulation, health and safety, moving and handling, etc.
He developed the idea of a new kind of welfare service to help people at festivals and has successfully led a business with Sarah to deliver care at over one hundred major events. Fortunately, Chris is passionate about music, so work and pleasure were happily combined!
Having spent many years developing teams, and training others, Chris developed an interest in the holistic nature of Chinese Medicine, healing in a non-emergency context. He trained at the prestigious Northern College of Acupuncture, qualifying with a First-Class Honours Degree.
His post graduate training has focused on the treatment of Muscular Skeletal issues with Whitfield Reeves and in developing research into lifestyle medicine.

All treatments are specifically tailored to the individual patient, it is important to us that everyone has a positive experience.
