Iris Abdele LicAc, MBAcC, AFN

Acupuncturist & Advanced Facialist

With 16 years’ experience in skin health and aesthetics, I began my career as an aesthetician in some of London’s leading clinics. My journey later led me to study Traditional Chinese Medicine at the City College of Acupuncture, training under some of the UK’s most respected practitioners. I am a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council and the Acupuncture Fertility Network, with specialist training in fertility support and musculoskeletal health.

My passion for healing began at a young age. At just 19, I completed my first Reiki course, later becoming a Reiki Master and Shamanic practitioner — practices that continue to deepen my connection with clients and shape my holistic approach. Acupuncture entered my life through my own struggles with chronic back pain. When conventional treatments failed, Acupuncture brought true relief and inspired me to dedicate three years to studying Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Alongside acupuncture and holistic therapies, I also chose to study Manual Lymphatic Drainage (The Dr Vodder technique) to further support clients — particularly in times where our body’s immunity and resilience are in focus following the pandemic and the rise in long Covid.

Today, I bring together my expertise in skincare, holistic therapies, acupuncture, and lymphatic drainage to offer a 360° approach to health and wellbeing. Each treatment is thoughtfully crafted to restore balance, promote healing, and help you feel your very best — inside and out.

My journey

Following school, I was immediately working in the beauty industry performing an array of beauty treatments, whilst developing my knowledge in different skincare brands and machinery. I soon specialised in facials and honed in on my passion of all things skin, helping my clients transform and maintain their skin to the desired outcome.

My fascination for healing sprouted from a young age, with the initial completion of my first Reiki course at the age of 19, proceeded by the completion of my Reiki Masters 8 years later, after I embarked on a Shamanic practitioner course. The healing modalities I have trained in and mastered over the years have allowed me to connect on a deeper level, not only for the evolution and development of ones’ self, but equally to create a unique and bespoke offering to my practice.

Acupuncture introduced itself to me further down the line, largely by recommendation from facial clientele when I was suffering with chronic back pain and IBS. After exhausting the typical recommendations, I soon found Acupuncture to be an effective solution to help support my ailments and provide relief from the symptoms of two significantly chronic conditions.

After three years studying and learning Traditional Chinese Medicine, I am confident in offering a unique approach to all my patients aiming to combine my experience of all things skin, my holistic healing modalities and my TCM knowledge and apply that to my treatment when advising and treating your MIND-BODY-SKIN.
