Meet The Team
Siobhan Fitzgerald
Yoga Therapist & Ayurvedic Consultant
I’ve spent the past 35 years working in integrative care, with a deep-rooted passion for Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy. My own healing journey through these practices was so transformative that I felt compelled to share them with others. I truly believe in the body’s ability to heal and thrive when given the right tools—and my role is to help guide that process.
My approach is entirely personalised. Using Ayurvedic principles, I work with you to understand your unique constitution and develop a lifestyle and nutrition plan that suits your body type. I also prescribe breathwork (pranayama) and therapeutic yoga tailored to your needs—whether you’re managing stress, anxiety, low mood, back pain, high blood pressure, or other physical or emotional imbalances. My focus is always on finding the root cause, not just treating symptoms.
For the past 20 years, I’ve been honoured to study and work with a respected research institute in India. I’m currently the only person in the UK to have undergone such an extensive training programme, learning directly from Ayurvedic doctors, surgeons, breath masters, neurologists, and philosophers. This rich fusion of knowledge deeply informs the work I do.
I’m also the author of Breath Code, a guide to unlocking energy and emotion from within through breath and movement.
At Westbourne, I offer morning ritual classes in Yoga Therapy and Breathwork, as well as accredited Yoga Therapy Teacher Training programmes (800 hours starting in May, and 300 hours in September). I look forward to supporting you on your journey to balance, strength, and inner calm.

Ayurveda Consultation
Rooted in the ancient healing traditions of India, Ayurveda is the world’s oldest holistic health system—offering both preventative and curative care by treating the body, mind, and spirit as one interconnected whole. At Westbourne Medical Studios, our Ayurveda Consultations are designed to help you understand your unique constitution, known as your Prakruti, and to guide you back to balance through personalised, natural therapies.
During your consultation, we assess your Dosha—your inherent body type—using specialist diagnostic techniques. From there, we create a bespoke wellness programme tailored specifically to your needs. This may include guidance on food combining for your constitution, herbal oils, breathwork, yoga therapy, lifestyle changes, meditation, and even sound or mantra. The goal is to reduce emotional and physiological discomfort, restore digestive function, and bring your system back to strength, clarity, and ease.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a time-honoured treatment that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance and promote healing. Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, this gentle yet effective approach works by stimulating specific points across the body to harmonise the flow of energy, or 'Qi'. By addressing imbalances, acupuncture can help alleviate a wide range of physical and emotional concerns, from chronic pain and tension to stress and fatigue.
At Westbourne Medical Studios, our experienced practitioners create a calm, nurturing environment where you can fully relax. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a truly personalised experience. We blend traditional knowledge with modern clinical practice, offering holistic care that reconnects mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're looking to manage a particular condition or simply enhance your overall well-being, acupuncture provides a meaningful path towards restored vitality and inner harmony.
