Manya Michailidis

With over 25 years of experience, Manya Michailidis is a highly qualified and passionate acupuncturist from Wokingham, who is dedicated to helping people feel and move better. After an injury ended her competitive sporting career, Manya turned her focus to therapy — combining her love of movement and recovery with a deep desire to help others improve their health and wellbeing.

AcuflowManya was created to reflect her belief that true wellbeing comes from balance: where the body, mind, and movement work together in harmony. Drawing on decades of hands-on clinical experience, she integrates acupuncture, soft tissue therapy, and movement-based approaches to restore mobility, relieve pain, and support long-term recovery.

Her background spans both clinical practice and elite sports environments. Manya has travelled the world with the WTA Tour, providing therapy and support to some of the world’s top tennis players, and was honoured to work at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. These experiences have shaped her holistic, intuitive approach — creating a seamless flow between treatment, healing, and long-term wellbeing.

At AcuflowManya, her goal is simple: to help every client reconnect with their body, restore balance, and move through life with ease.

Based in Wokingham, Berkshire, AcuFlowManya offers safe, effective, and evidence-informed acupuncture for a wide range of conditions. Her clinic is conveniently located for clients across Wokingham, Winnersh, Woodley, Twyford, Earley, Reading, Bracknell, and the wider Berkshire area.

She provides a calm, supportive environment where clients can receive treatment for chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, fertility concerns, digestive issues, and overall wellness. If you’re looking for a trusted acupuncturist in Wokingham, AcuflowManya is here to help you feel better, move better, and restore lasting balance.

Manya is also a member of The British Acupuncture Council which is a member of the Accredited Register scheme run by Professional Standards Authority which is backed by the government.
