The ClementJames Wellbeing Clinic started in 2016 after a very successful pilot programme based in the centre. Since then it has evolved and we now run a weekly clinic offering NADA-certified ear acupuncture for relaxation, relief, anxiety, health and wellbeing support.
The ClementJames Wellbeing Clinic provides ear acupuncture in a peaceful, supportive, safe environment. A combination of mantra, frequency music, and spiritual incense, sourced locally when possible, is used to create a unique energy and space.
The Clinic is run by Ray Rose Raymond BSc (Hons), Ac, MBAcB, MSc (Hons), CM and NADA-qualified ear acupuncture practitioner with over 20 years of acupuncture and complementary medicine experience.
For more information or any questions you may have, please email rayrose@clementjames.org.
A member of staff from ClementJames recommended Ear Acupuncture. All I can say is I have never looked back. My symptoms of anger, frustration changed. My temperament has become more grounded….This well-being space is special and Ray Rose is providing a service that is needed in a complex world.

Who?
In the early days of the Clinic we established an open-door policy allowing anyone from the local community to access the service. Since then, due to the fantastic work of NADA-qualified Ray Rose Raymond, the Clinic’s popularity has grown. We now need to manage the number of people who attend to ensure that it runs safely and that Ray Rose has enough time with each person. As a result, from January, we will be implementing the ClementJames eligibility criteria (see below), which is in effect across the rest of the charity.
To capture this criteria information we will be asking all Wellbeing Clinic attendees to re-register with the charity. This will entail the completion of a small form. For the avoidance of doubt, from January, only people who fit the eligibility criteria and have completed the ClementJames registration form will be able to attend the Wellbeing Clinic. Please re-register using the link below.
Eligibility Criteria
The Wellbeing Clinic is available and free to residents who live in or who are housed in Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham or Westminster, and who meet at least one of the following criteria:
- In receipt of benefits
- Have a household income of less that £25,000
- Living in social housing (this includes council, temporary accommodation and housing associations)
- Child / ward receives free school meals
As a charity, we would love nothing more than to be able to support everyone who wants this service. Unfortunately, this just isn’t possible, and as a result we must seek to support those most in need. We hope you can understand and apologise for any inconvenience caused. Staff will be available at the Clinic on the first few sessions of the New Year for anyone who is unable to use this link. Please do get in touch if you have any questions.
When?
Clinic runs between 2:30 and 5:30 pm, but please note that the last entry for acupuncture is at 4:45 pm. The Wellbeing Clinic will reopen for support on Tuesday 5th March 2024.
The clinic runs on a first come, first served basis, and you can drop-in at a time that suits you between 2:30 pm and 4:45 pm to access the service – no booking required!

Perfect music in background & incense/smell. Did not feel like 30 minutes. So peaceful and calming. I will definitely be back.

I have been coming for about 6 weeks and have noticed a significant change in my mood – I am so much calmer and have a lot less anxiety. Life feels a lot easier & less stressful. I feel more centred and able to deal with whatever life throws at me.
