I'm Dom Davenport.

I've spent much of my life interested in how we experience the world.

Through art, movement, meditation and, more recently, acupuncture.

What interests me most is what happens when we pay close attention. Not just to our thoughts, but to the sensations in our bodies, our feelings, and everything else that's happening around us.

How much of our experience do we actually notice?

And how much of our time do we spend thinking about what has happened, or what might happen next?

These are questions I explore in my own life, and in my work with people.

My background isn't in healthcare. I studied art and spent many years working in the creative industries, education and business.

Alongside that, I've had a longstanding interest in movement, meditation and the relationship between body and mind.

Eventually, that led me to acupuncture. What appealed to me was the opportunity to work directly with people, and to explore their experience rather than just talk about it.

I help people come into closer contact with their own bodily experience.

Acupuncture is one of the ways I do that. I'm interested in what's actually happening, beneath the symptoms and the ideas we have about them.

Sometimes that means noticing something uncomfortable. Sometimes it's something we've barely been aware of.

I'm not looking for a particular experience or trying to take someone somewhere. I'm interested in what happens when we begin to notice what's already there.
