Yaya is a Five-Element Acupuncturist trained at Yellow Path under Gerard Kite and the teaching team, bringing a grounded, emotionally attuned approach to patient care.

Her path into acupuncture followed a period of burnout, loss of direction, and feeling deeply disconnected from herself. Experiencing the power of this ancient medicine firsthand — particularly its ability to restore clarity, hope, and a sense of purpose — reshaped how she understood both healing and wellbeing.

Yaya’s work centres on the relationship between mind and body, and she draws on her background in psychology to support patients through emotional, physical, and transitional challenges. Her treatments are known for being calming, thoughtful, and deeply attentive, helping people feel heard, steadied, and more like themselves again.

Alongside her clinical work, Yaya runs her own practice on Queen Anne’s Street, treats patients in Shoreditch, and mentors students at Yellow Path. She is passionate about supporting both patients and future practitioners with care rooted in presence, respect for the tradition, and genuine human connection.
