Rewind back in time, and celebrity acupuncturist and wellness expert Ross J. Barr was being persuaded by his mother to try his first-ever acupuncture session – an attempt to heal from the sudden loss of his father. “Acupuncture's important to me because of the difference it made at an early age,” Ross tells MIRROR WATER. On his website, the practitioner explains: “I remember it vividly even now, I walked out of the clinic with the feeling that despite everything it was going to be okay. With every passing week I felt better, and gradually, I began to fall in love with the medicine more and more.”
Today, Ross J. Barr is one of the biggest acupuncture practitioners in his field, treating celebrity clients like Alexa Chung and Meghan Markle with his Five Element acupuncture practice – a method which helps to treat patients’ physical and emotional symptoms. Helping his clients reach ultimate wellbeing, Ross’ specialties in supporting clients wide-ranging needs from stress management and grief support to women’s health and fertility (see: Charlotte’s Sex and the City acupuncture image to the right).
Supporting his practise, Ross has also launched a range of at-home wellness tools – including supplements and Calm Patches: gentle, at-home patches used to stimulate acupuncture pressure points for anti-stress, muscle-healing, or sleep-support usage. Speaking to MIRROR WATER, Ross shares how he got started in the field, debunks acupuncture myths, and explains how the practice can help support fertility.
