Acupuncture with Lineage, Precision, and Heart
As the first practitioner to be apprenticed under the guidance of world-renowned Five-Element acupuncture master Gerad Kite, Johnny brings a unique depth of training and experience to his work. He also holds a degree-level Licentiate in Acupuncture from The Acupuncture Academy, reflecting rigorous academic and clinical study.
With extensive experience in Five-Element acupuncture, Johnny offers a thoughtful, personalised approach that looks beyond individual symptoms to understand the wider patterns influencing a person’s health and wellbeing. Rather than working symptom-by-symptom, his treatments focus on supporting balance, resilience and a greater sense of harmony.
Many people seek his care for a wide range of physical and emotional concerns, valuing the calm, intentional space he creates and his holistic understanding of the body–mind connection. Johnny aims to support each individual on their own unique path towards improved wellbeing, using a style of acupuncture grounded in presence, sensitivity and experience.



Acupuncture for Wellness & Fertility
For over a decade, Johnny has been a key practitioner at the Kite Clinic on Wimpole Street, London, where he works closely with Gerad Kite. While he treats a wide range of concerns, he has developed particular experience in supporting individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges.
Many people seek Johnny’s care when preparing for natural conception, addressing women’s-health concerns, or looking for holistic support throughout IVF and assisted conception. His approach is tailored, sensitive and grounded in the Five-Element tradition, with a focus on supporting balance, wellbeing and emotional resilience during what can often be a demanding journey. Acupuncture can sit comfortably alongside medical fertility care, offering space for calm, reflection and support.
FIVE ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE
Five-Element acupuncture has its roots in ancient Chinese tradition, drawing on more than two millennia of philosophical and medical thought. Its teachings have historically been passed from teacher to student through classical texts and oral transmission, preserving a rich understanding of human experience, health and balance. This tradition continues today, informing the way practitioners approach each individual as a whole person rather than focusing on symptoms alone.
COMMON CONCERNS PEOPLE SEEK ACUPUNCTURE FOR
I work with people experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, migraines, hormonal changes and sleep difficulties. In Five-Element acupuncture, diagnosis involves understanding a person’s constitutional nature — their patterns, tendencies, strengths and sensitivities — as well as how life experiences may be affecting their overall balance.
Treatment is always tailored to the individual. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, the focus is on supporting the whole person and helping them move towards greater stability, resilience and wellbeing at a pace that feels right for them.
FERTILITY & ACUPUNCTURE
For over a decade, Johnny has been a key practitioner at Kite Clinic on Wimpole Street, London, where he works closely with renowned Five-Element acupuncture master Gerad Kite. Over this time, he has developed extensive experience in the field of fertility support, working with individuals and couples navigating natural conception, women’s-health concerns and assisted fertility treatments such as IVF.
While Johnny treats a broad range of conditions, he has a particular interest in supporting people through the emotional and physical demands of fertility journeys. His approach is tailored and holistic, offering a space where clients can feel steadier, more supported and more connected to themselves during what can often be a complex process.
In addition to his clinical work, Johnny also completed a degree-level Licentiate at The Acupuncture Academy, adding rigorous academic and practical training to his years of hands-on experience.

Johnny's Integral Role at Kite Clinic
At Kite Clinic, Johnny Childs plays a central role in delivering Five-Element acupuncture within a respected team known for its thoughtful, patient-centred approach. As a skilled practitioner with many years of experience, Johnny brings a deep understanding of this tradition, working closely with clients to support their overall wellbeing and emotional balance.
Kite Clinic takes a distinctive approach to acupuncture, shaped by the Five-Element tradition and its emphasis on viewing each person as a whole rather than focusing solely on individual symptoms. This perspective recognises that physical or emotional discomfort may reflect deeper patterns in a person’s life and health. Johnny’s work involves exploring these patterns with sensitivity and insight, helping clients understand how their experiences, stresses and constitutional tendencies may be influencing their wellbeing.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Five-Element acupuncture considers them as meaningful signals within a wider context. Johnny’s role is to interpret these signs and use them to inform a treatment plan that responds to the individual’s unique needs. This holistic, personalised style of care reflects the ethos of Kite Clinic and is central to the way the team supports the people who come to us.
The clinic’s reputation has been shaped by its long-standing commitment to this in-depth, person-focused approach. Johnny is an integral part of that philosophy, offering space for clients to feel seen, heard and supported as they navigate their own journey toward improved balance and wellbeing.
