Practitioner: Marian Fixler

With over 35 years of experience, Marian qualified as an acupuncturist in 1991 and continue to find the profession as engaging and rewarding as ever. Her interest in East Asian medicine began while living in Japan in 1987/88, studying shiatsu, followed by further intensive clinical training at a teaching hospital in Nanjing, China.

Since 1998, Marian has specialised in Japanese acupuncture systems, training in the UK, the Netherlands and Japan. She is passionate about making Japanese acupuncture more widely accessible and have taught extensively as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Westminster, as well as delivering postgraduate courses in the UK and internationally.

Her clinical work spans NHS GP practices, organisations supporting people with immune-related conditions and HIV/AIDS, multidisciplinary clinics, and her own private practice, which she established in 1991. She supports couples trying to conceive, provide pregnancy care with lifestyle and nutritional guidance, and treat babies and children using Shonishin, a non-invasive Japanese technique.

She is a member of the Acupuncture Childbirth Team and previously served on its Steering Committee and have published research and articles on Japanese acupuncture, presented at British Acupuncture Council conferences and research symposia, and previously served as President of the Toyohari Association UK and as a member of the European Branch of the Toyohari Association.
