Welcome
My name is Su Bhagi and I am the founder of the EnerQi Acupuncture and Reiki Clinic, Swindon. I currently work from the Shaftesbury Centre in Rodbourne and offer Acupuncture, moxibustion, electro-acupuncture, TCM nutrition and Reiki treatments.
My Background
My education background has mainly focused on the Sciences and, after gaining a degree in Chemical Engineering in 1996, I started my working life as a Commissioning/Systems Engineer, working on various treatment plants across the UK.
Unfortunately, during this time, my younger sister was diagnosed with cancer and sadly passed away, two years later. This traumatic event stopped me in my tracks and changed my outlook on life, completely; I began to re-evaluate my priorities and realised that I didn’t want to spend the majority of my life working on machinery, or sat behind a desk at a computer. I had always had a keen interest in people and after losing my sister to cancer, understanding health became a priority.
Through researching the likely causes of cancer, I began to learn about the connection between the mind and body. It was then that I stumbled across Acupuncture and discovered that this form of medicine takes a holistic approach to the human body, where mental health, diet, lifestyle and spiritual wellbeing all attribute to the overall health of a person. It confirmed my own belief that what we eat, how we process our thoughts and how we live our lives, determine the status of our health. This is something I had not come across in allopathic medicine; the use of prescription drugs to treat isolated symptoms, rather than addressing the root cause of illness, just didn’t make sense to me.
Within a month of discovering Acupuncture, I gave up my career in Engineering and, in September 2002, embarked on a degree in Acupuncture. Three years later, I was awarded a 2:1 Honours Degree in Acupuncture, from Portsmouth University. Since graduating, I have trained in Chinese Nutritional Therapy and regularly attend Continual Professional Development Courses, in order to increase my knowledge base.
Today, I work in a busy clinic, treating people for a variety of conditions. One of the main areas that many people come to me for is for fertility treatment to help conceive naturally, or for support during an IVF/ICSI cycle. Other areas that I commonly see in clinic, are joint/muscle pain, digestive disorders and menstrual related issues.
