Gerad Kite

Gerad Kite received his licence to practice (Lic.Ac.) in 1990 and was awarded his Acupuncture Master (Ac.M.) certificate in 2000. He gained his Master Apprentice Certificate while attending J.R. and J.B. Worsley’s Master Apprentice Programme and holds an Advanced Teacher Training qualification from the Worsley Institute.

In 1993 he started the first ever NHS acupuncture service in the UK based at Kings College Hospital (London) working with patients with AIDS and terminal illnesses. At the same time he ran a successful private practice on London’s Harley Street where, on the back of helping people struggling to conceive, he was dubbed by the national press as the “Daddy of all Fertility Experts”.

In 2006 he opened Kite Clinic where he led a team of 12 practitioners performing over 10,000 treatments a year. In 2007 he founded the London Institute of Five-Element Acupuncture (LIFEA) where he personally trained his current team of practitioners and new apprentices. 

In 2011 Gerad opened his Wimpole Street practice where he currently practices and teaches. In 2016 his first two books ‘Everything You Need You Have’ and ‘The Art of Baby-Making’ were published by Short Books. In October 2020 Gerad launched Yellow Path, his Five-Element acupuncture training programme with original, online lecture material. His third book, ‘The Untapped Self’, was published by New River Books in September, 2025.
