Gabriella Doran

I’m Gabriella Doran, a 5 Element acupuncturist with 20+ years experience and teacher of 5 Element acupuncture. After an initial training in art, specialising in theatre design, I lived in Asia for several years, where I ran my own highly successful jewellery manufacturing business. On my return to the UK I was treated with acupuncture, which I was surprised to find not only improved my health, but also provided invaluable support through a bereavement and period of major life changes. I was impressed and inspired by this simple yet profoundly effective form of medicine, and made the decision to study and become a practitioner in 2000.

In 2007, I joined the teaching faculty at LIFEA as Head of Second Year and remained there until the school closed at the end of 2010. In 2016, I joined forces with Michael Arnold and together we built FEAT, a training programme for those interested in pursuing a career in Five Element Acupuncture.
