SIWAN QUINN BRATTON

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

Siwan is a highly experienced acupuncturist, teacher, and holistic practitioner with over 35 years of clinical practice, and the creator of the Ki2Life Programme.

Her work is grounded in a simple but profound principle:

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

She supports people in coming back into alignment with their natural state of balance, clarity, and inner resilience. Her approach blends deep clinical expertise with intuitive, compassionate presence, allowing both body and mind to settle, release, and reorganise.

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Siwan works with the whole person — physical, emotional, and energetic — helping to uncover and shift the underlying patterns that keep people stuck in cycles of stress, pain, fatigue, or disconnection.

At the heart of her work are three core pillars of life:

balance, vitality, and purpose.

When these come back into alignment, the system naturally begins to heal, regulate, and re-energise.

Siwan is Co-Founder of Ki People (since 2001) and creator of the Ki2Life Programmes (2025). She previously served as Co-Principal of the College of Auricular Acupuncture alongside Jonathan Tarr, and as Secretary of the Microsystems Acupuncture Society for over 20 years. She has also worked as a former Foreign Expert at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
