Siwan Quinn Bratton

BSc (Hons), Lic.Ac, CMIR, MAS, BSS-Do Dip (T)

Siwan Quinn Bratton is a highly experienced acupuncturist, teacher and holistic practitioner with over 35 years of clinical practice. She is the co-founder of Ki People and creator of the Ki2Life Programmes.

At the heart of Siwan’s work is a simple but profound belief:

Wellbeing is not something we fix — it is something we return to.

Her approach is rooted in helping people reconnect with their own natural capacity for balance, vitality and resilience. Combining extensive clinical experience with intuitive insight and compassionate presence, Siwan works with the whole person — body, mind and energy — creating the conditions for deeper regulation, release and renewal.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, she looks beneath the surface to understand the patterns that may be contributing to stress, pain, fatigue, emotional overwhelm or a sense of disconnection. Her work helps people recognise and shift these patterns, enabling them to reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater clarity and vitality.

Siwan sees balance, vitality and purpose as three essential pillars of a healthy and fulfilling life. When these come back into alignment, we can access more of our natural energy, resilience and capacity for change.

Alongside her clinical practice, Siwan has spent many years teaching and developing practitioners. She was Co-Principal of the College of Auricular Acupuncture alongside Jonathan Tarr and served as Secretary of the Microsystems Acupuncture Society for over 20 years. She has also worked as a Foreign Expert at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

With decades of experience, Siwan brings together clinical knowledge, traditional wisdom and a deeply intuitive understanding of the human system. Her work is ultimately about supporting people not simply to feel better, but to return to themselves — with greater balance, vitality and purpose.
