About Me

MAcS Saule Zuk

I'm an acupuncturist and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner based in the Scottish Borders.

I take a personalised approach to treatment, considering your concerns, health history and individual circumstances. Traditional Chinese diagnostic methods help me understand the wider picture of your health and guide each treatment.

Whether you are familiar with acupuncture or completely new to Chinese medicine, I prioritize creating a quiet, safe, and supportive environment where you feel heard and comfortable throughout your treatment.

I work with a broad range of health concerns, with particular professional interests in women's health and wellbeing, fertility, and musculoskeletal health.

My training & clinical background

I trained at the College of Chinese Medicine in Edinburgh, studying Traditional Chinese Medicine alongside Western approaches to health.

An important part of my training has been the clinical lineage I was fortunate to learn within. I trained with Paul Robin FAcS, MPCHM, MCAA, whose own training was under Dr Bernard Kai Lam Lee in the Fook Sang tradition.

Fook Sang tradition

The Fook Sang tradition has been an important influence on my approach to Chinese medicine. Through this lineage, I have developed a strong appreciation for the relationship between acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and traditional Chinese diagnosis — looking at the whole picture of a person's health rather than focusing on one symptom in isolation.

I value taking time to understand the individual and the wider patterns that may be contributing to their health, using this understanding to guide treatment.

My interest in fertility and women's health has developed naturally through my clinical work and further study. I’m particularly interested in how acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can complement one another when working with more complex presentations.

Community Work & Local Initiatives

I believe holistic healthcare should be accessible to everyone in our local community. Alongside my private practice, I regularly collaborate with Borders in Recovery , offering group ear acupuncture (auricular therapy) across their community initiatives.

Working within recovery spaces has further reinforced my commitment to gentle, trauma-informed care—using auricular acupuncture to help support emotional wellbeing, ease stress and anxiety, and promote a sense of inner calm.
