I’ve been seeing Johnny Childs for nearly four years, and don’t intend to stop. He’s helped me throughout with my energy and stress levels, plus getting me in the optimum state so I could conceive my second child (despite being told it would be unlikely by mainstream medical folk). I can’t recommend him highly enough.

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.

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.
