Shaul Freedman, acupuncturist at his clinic in Lansdowne Cape Town

Meet Your Acupuncturist

Shaul Freedman

With over 25 years of practice, Shaul has been supporting people on their healing journeys since opening his clinic in Lansdowne in 2001. His approach is grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine — calm, attentive, and deeply rooted in genuine care for the person in front of him.

Shaul trained in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and deepened his studies with time spent in China. He also lectured in acupuncture at the School of Natural Medicine at the University of the Western Cape.

He is not a clinic in the clinical sense. The space is warm and unhurried. Shaul is the kind of practitioner who listens properly, who can hold space for pain — physical and emotional — and who brings quiet wisdom to his work.

Alongside his private practice, Shaul is deeply committed to accessible community care. For more than 13 years, he has been an integral part of the Flying Needle Project — a community-based initiative providing free acupuncture treatment to people who might not otherwise have access to this form of care.

"Shaul has such a lovely energy and is a skillful acupuncturist. He really helped me."

What People Say

Real experiences

"I came with chronic lower back pain I'd had for three years. After five sessions I was sleeping through the night for the first time in ages. Shaul listens in a way that makes you feel genuinely cared for."

— Sarah van der Merwe, Cape Town

"I was sceptical but desperate. My migraines were affecting my work and my family. Shaul was calm, thorough, and unhurried. Three months later, my migraines have reduced dramatically."

— James Okafor, Southern Suburbs

"Shaul has such a lovely energy and is a skillful acupuncturist. He really helped me through a very difficult time with my hormones and stress levels. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

— E. Aviram

Common Questions

You might be wondering…

The needles are extremely fine — nothing like injections. You may feel a slight sensation as the needle is inserted but its not painful. Once the needles are inserted you may experience tingling or achy sensations or even a gentle electrical like current along your energy meridians as the acupuncture does its work. Most people are surprised by how comfortable it is. Many relax so deeply they drift off during treatment.
When performed by a trained practitioner, yes. Shaul uses sterile, single-use needles and adapts every treatment to your individual health history and needs.
This depends on what you're coming for and how long you've had it. Some people notice a shift within a few sessions. For longer-standing conditions, a short course over several weeks tends to bring the most lasting benefit. Shaul will discuss this with you openly.
Yes — acupuncture can be a gentle, supportive option during pregnancy. Treatments are always carefully adapted to your stage and what you're experiencing.
