About the Clinic
Over 25 years' experience
A specialised centre for excellence in whole-person health…
Alma Vale is a centre dedicated to supporting health and wellbeing throughout every stage of life. Our practitioners are experts in their chosen holistic modalities, with specialist knowledge in women’s health as well as wide experience in general healthcare.
We offer a truly unique approach to whole-person health — focusing on the individual as a whole, not just isolated symptoms. Working together as a collective team of experts, we create treatment pathways that are holistic, compassionate and effective.
At Alma Vale, we support people with a wide range of needs, including:
- Women’s health: first periods, heavy bleeding, pain, PMT & PMDD, endometriosis, fertility and reproductive health, pregnancy, labour and birth, perimenopause and menopause.
- General health: pain, fatigue, recovery from injury, digestive health, immune balance, cardiovascular health, stress and burnout.
- Mental health and wellbeing: anxiety, low mood, trauma, and mind-body connection.
Our treatment programmes bring together an extraordinary range of therapies, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, reflexology, coaching, cognitive behaviour therapy, shamanic healing, reiki, hypnotherapy and more.
Our Founder
Founded in 2001 by Jill Glover, an acupuncturist and specialist in Chinese medicine for over 40 years, Alma Vale’s mission has never been more important.
Jill explains that the centre was created out of a profound sense that something needed to change in healthcare:
“Women’s health is so often overlooked. Clinical trials and medication dosages are primarily based on male data and training for GPs in menstrual or menopausal issues is woefully inadequate. Far too many women report being ignored, or even gaslighted when seeking help for hormonal or women-specific health challenges. Women need spaces where they know they are speaking to practitioners who not only care, but really know what they’re talking about — and who truly have time to listen.
As I started working more and more with women, I realised that what I wanted to do was create a clinic filled with lovely, knowledgeable practitioners specialising in women’s health. And as the clinic grew, it became equally important to provide care for the broader health challenges people face day to day — pain, fatigue, stress, mental health and chronic conditions.
Alma Vale is an entirely different space than you may have ever stepped into. Professional, tranquil, expert – and somewhere all people can feel understood and assured that their practitioners are both compassionate and knowledgeable.
I do this work because it’s so important to me to have a space where people feel they’re in safe, expert hands — with practitioners they trust and respect, and where they are truly seen and heard in both body and mind.
I’m incredibly proud that in 20+ years at Alma Vale Centre, we have had so many remarkable successes with those who had felt there was no other option or way forward.
It’s the reason I began this work, and this clinic, and it remains my absolute focus.”
