Johnny you are truly incredible. The difference in how much better I feel since seeing you is astonishing. I started seeing Johnny for chronic migraine. Johnny very intuitively, even just from a voice note, knew where the deeper issue was coming from! You are a miracle worker. Thank you so much Vicky

Acupuncture for Wellness & Fertility

For over a decade, Johnny has been an integral part of the Kite Clinic on Wimpole Street, London, working closely with Gerad Kite. While Johnny treats a broad spectrum of conditions, he is particularly passionate about helping patients with fertility issues. Whether you’re struggling with infertility, women’s health issues, or seeking holistic support throughout IVF treatment, Johnny’s tailored approach to fertility can help restore balance and optimise reproductive health.

FIVE ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE

Five-Element Acupuncture originated in China well over 2000 years ago, and has been passed down from Master to Student both through the study of texts and oral teaching. An unbroken lineage has maintained the transmission of an astounding body of knowledge of health, illness and the human condition.

COMMON CONCERNS PEOPLE SEEK ACUPUNCTURE FOR

I treat conditions ranging from anxiety and migraines to hormonal balance and sleep. Diagnosis involves looking at a patient’s constitutional and emotional make-up; their strengths and weaknesses. The actual treatment plan will then be based around each individual’s needs. The treatment journey takes the patient from pathology to good health and through to accessing their full potential.

FERTILITY & ACUPUNCTURE

For over a decade, Johnny has been an integral part of Kite Clinic on Wimpole Street, London, working closely with renowned master Gerad Kite. During this time, Johnny has gained invaluable insight and experience, particularly in the field of acupuncture for fertility. While he treats a wide range of conditions, he is especially passionate about supporting patients with fertility challenges. Whether you are facing infertility, women's health issues, or seeking holistic support through IVF, Johnny’s tailored approach to fertility acupuncture is designed to restore balance and optimise reproductive health. In addition to his hands-on experience, Johnny also studied at The Acupuncture Academy, further deepening his understanding of the practice.

Johnny's Integral Role at Kite Clinic

At Kite Clinic, Johnny Childs plays a central role in helping patients achieve optimal health through the practice of Five-Element Acupuncture. As a highly skilled practitioner and a key member of the clinic’s team, Johnny brings a deep understanding of this transformative modality, combining his expertise with the clinic's commitment to personalised, results-driven care. 


What sets Kite Clinic apart from other acupuncture practices is our unique approach—an approach that has made us one of the most talked-about clinics in the UK. Central to this distinction is our use of Five-Element Acupuncture, a style that recognizes the body’s inherent ability to self-heal and return to balance. Johnny’s role is to help patients activate and support this natural healing process, guiding them toward long-term wellness. Five-Element Acupuncture takes a different perspective on symptoms than other approaches. 


Rather than treating symptoms as isolated issues to be suppressed, we view them as important signals—alarm bells that indicate deeper imbalances within the body. Johnny's expertise lies in interpreting these signs and using them to understand the root causes of health concerns. At Kite Clinic, we don’t treat symptoms in isolation—we treat the whole person. Our holistic approach is tailored to the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that treatment goes beyond temporary relief and addresses the fundamental factors that contribute to lasting health. This personalised, in-depth care is the key to the exceptional results we’re known for and is at the heart of everything Johnny and our team do.

TESTIMONIALS

What patients say...

Johnny teaches me that my physical symptoms are simply signs of distress trapped in my body, and rather than ‘healing’ the pain on the surface – we look inwards and what the root cause is. Each appointment begins with a conversation, a bit like therapy. I’m always surprised by what comes up. To anyone interested, I’ve been diagnosed as Metal. Johnny has helped me with grief, depression, anxiety, intuition and energy. I’ve recommended at least 45 people to him – most of whom continue to see him regularly.

Johnny is incredible, and has helped me so much in the 4 months that I’ve been coming to see him. I went to see Johnny for help with fertility issues as we had been trying to have a baby for 18 months with no luck and also had just had a failed IVF cycle. I had tried acupuncture before, but the traditional Chinese medicine style, and liked it but was recommended Johnny by a friend and liked the sound of Five Elements – it made sense that everything in my body needed to be working to its best to be able to get pregnant. I went to Johnny at a really hard time and at the first session I was in a state of panic and desperation that it would never happen, however I left the clinic feeling completely different and so much more settled and as if a weight had been lifted. I have been seeing Johnny for 4 months now and it is amazing, I have become some much calmer and more relaxed about the whole IVF process and have become less anxious and panicked about becoming pregnant. We also got pregnant, but unfortunately miscarried, but this was such a massive step for me as that had never happened before, and I know for sure that this is down to Johnny and the acupuncture. I completely trust him and feel so much better as soon as I walk in the door of the clinic.
