I have had a long term interest in healing and I have studied various healing systems including Reiki, Radionics, reflexology and other techniques alongside developing a strong personal meditation practice.

My first experience with acupuncture was for the treatment for post viral chronic fatigue and acupuncture helped me to recover from the debilitating condition fairly rapidly where Western Medicine did not really have any answers. This experience had such a profound impact on me it inspired me to study Chinese medicine.

I studied acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the renowned College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, where I gained both a Licentiate in Acupuncture from the college and a degree from Kingston University qualifying in 2008.

The course consisted of an integrated style approach and training in both traditional Chinese acupuncture and 5 Element acupuncture as well as strong emphasis on conventional medical sciences. The course lasted for just under 4 years which included a year of clinical training treating patients in the college clinic.

I am also a member of the British Acupuncture Federation and am bound by their strict code of Safe Practice and Professional Conduct.

After graduation I continued my studies and professional development and studied Japanese acupuncture in the style of Kiiko Matsumoto with Andy Harrop and Kiiko Matsumoto as well as Dr Tan Balance method and Master Tung style of acupuncture which is the system I find gives the best results. My other training includes treating fertility, acupuncture for sports injuries, Tui Na and cosmetic acupuncture as well as studying Thai massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I have also completed in-depth training in Scenar and have studied with Debra Graham and Alexander Revenko, one of the inventors of Scenar and the founder of the Scenar Academy of Russia before moving over to Physiokey therapy.

I am passionate about my work and my development as a healer. I Have many tools I can use to facilitate the healing process and personal development of my clients. I always work with from the highest integrity and do my best I can with each individual person I work with and am often humbled by my patients, the medicine and the power of the body to return to wholeness.

I have had acupuncture to treat depression and fatigue following ptsd treatment. It is not a quick job but it has enabled me to put myself together again, slowly but surely, at my own pace. This is very important and empowering. Mr Stoyle is a very kind, professional therapist who has an unlimited fund of patience. This process can be two steps forward and one back at times so patience and empathy much needed.

I highly recommend Darren. He relieved the pain I was experiencing and provided healing for the challenges I was dealing with. He has a kind, gentle and compassionate approach and combines this with extensive knowledge and expertise. Darren is a great listener and puts patient care first in his diagnosis and treatment. Outstanding.

I want to recommend Darren, he helped me in treating the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia with acupuncture. The pain settled down in few sessions in combination with my medication. Darren is trustworthy, knowledgeable and he has this warming welcoming that people with chronic pain are looking for. Thanks.

I was looking for an acupuncturist as I had been suffering with tension headaches due to tight neck and shoulders. I looked up and Darren and read some great reviews and decided to book a session. He asked lots of questions as to why I had come for a session and explained really clearly what he was going to try in the session. Darren used needles in several points and checked in often to ask that I was okay. Within a short time my headache had completely disappeared and when the session had finished I felt a lot for flexibility in my neck and shoulders too. I would highly recommend Darren.

After suffering for years with chronic rhinosinusitis, the constant infection, antibiotics, head pressure and fatigue were really affecting my quality of life, therefore I was advised by ENT to have sinus surgery. Whilst on the waiting list I was recommended to Darren by a friend and after the first treatment the pain and head pressure went. After a few sessions I began to feel much better, my symptoms significantly reduced. I have not needed antibiotics since I started treatment and no longer have head pressure or pain. Darren is very knowledgeable, professional and due to his fantastic treatment I feel that I will no longer require the sinus surgery I was waiting for. Highly recommended. Thank you Darren.

Rebecca Lamble

Darren has helped me with his acupuncture treatments after the doctor had told me they had exhausted all treatments apart from prescribing pain relief. After vising Darren I am no longer taking prescribed pain medications and pain-free. Darren is very professional and friendly putting me at ease with having acupuncture and helps with any other medical issues or concerns I have and is a fountain of knowledge and helpful advice. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.
