About Claudia Ferreira

Claudia trained at the University of Portsmouth and completed her BSc (Hons) in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2006. From there she added 3 postgraduate qualifications relevant to the Body Perfected scope of practice: a postgraduate diploma in TCM Gynaecology & Obstetrics, an Advanced Fertility Nutrition Diploma, and a Diploma in Sports Therapy. She is BAcC-registered (MBAcC), with full professional indemnity insurance and the BAcC Code of Professional Conduct as the operating standard.

Body Perfected has been in Marylebone since 2010, working from 1 Orchard Street — Bond Street and Marble Arch tube are both 3 minutes' walk. The clinic deliberately spans 4 integrative pillars: acupuncture and the wider TCM toolkit (moxibustion, cupping, tuina), Chinese herbal medicine, manual lymphatic drainage, and nutritional therapy. The point of holding all four under one practitioner is continuity — the same TCM diagnosis (pulse, tongue, history) carries across modalities, and the herbal formula evolves with the picture rather than being prescribed once and forgotten.

Most clients run integrative care alongside conventional medicine, never instead of it. The flagship Fertility Perfected programme is a 12-week structure built around the 90-day window of egg maturation; women on the programme are typically also under an NHS or private fertility clinic, and treatment notes are shared with that team on request. I never recommend stopping prescribed medication. Where presentation suggests a specialist consultation, I refer onwards. Clinical records are retained for 8 years per the BAcC Code of Professional Conduct.

Three patient pictures recur most often at the clinic. First: women trying to conceive — naturally, or alongside an IVF / ICSI / IUI / FET cycle. Second: post-surgical recovery — typically 6 to 10 sessions of MLD over 4 to 8 weeks, started within the surgeon-cleared window after liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast surgery, gynaecomastia surgery, or laparoscopic gynaecology. Third: long-term care for chronic conditions — lipoedema, PCOS, endometriosis, miscarriage recovery, and postpartum recovery — where the integrative pillars work better in combination than any pillar in isolation.

The Marylebone clinic at 1 Orchard Street is open Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 19:00, with Saturday by appointment. First sessions are 60 to 90 minutes depending on the service; follow-ups are 60 to 75 minutes. Booking is currently via WhatsApp on +44 7455 005 334 or email at info@bodyperfected.com — a Calendly / clinic-booking integration is planned. The clinic is street-level access; flag any access requirements at booking so we can confirm logistics.
