Hello, I’m Ilze Black, a licensed acupuncturist and Tui Na practitioner, a member of the British Acupuncture Council, the Acupuncture Fertility Network UK and UK Reiki Federation. I’m the founder of TCM Practice Acupuncture clinics located in East London.
I practise traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with a holistic, person-centred approach. Using thorough diagnostic methods, I develop tailored treatment plans that address both root causes and symptoms—supporting each patient’s physical health and emotional well-being.
My journey into TCM began nearly 30 years ago through Shaolin Chi Gong, a practice I still follow today. It became a guiding force through careers in the arts, academic research, and eventually, motherhood. During profound life transition, Tui Na therapy—under the mentorship of Sarah Pritchard—helped me rediscover balance and vitality. This powerful experience inspired me to dedicate my career to the healing arts.
Today, I integrate a range of therapies including acupuncture, Tui Na massage, cupping, Gua Sha, Moxa, Auricular (ear) acupuncture, and Reiki into my practice to provide comprehensive care to my patients. Whether you’re seeking fertility support, stress relief, pain management, or general wellness, my goal is to provide compassionate, effective care tailored to your needs.
In addition to my clinical work, I lead the Acupuncture Programme at the City College of Acupuncture, where I have the joy of training the next generation of TCM practitioners.
If you’re exploring holistic health solutions, I’d be honoured to support you on your path to greater vitality.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
