Lois Lothian Acupuncture
The Brief
Lois Lothian is a newly qualified acupuncturist based in Colchester, offering Five Element acupuncture to restore balance across mind, body and spirit. With a background in pharmacy and a deep passion for holistic wellbeing, Lois wanted a brand and online presence that reflected both her professional expertise and her warm, compassionate approach to care.
Our first focus was to craft a brand identity that felt authentic to Lois. A logo, colour palette and messaging system that would anchor every touchpoint of her practice. From there, we needed to build a simple, easy-to-use website that shared her story clearly, explained her treatments with confidence and gave visitors everything they needed to understand how she can help.
Our Process
We began by stepping into the world of Five Element acupuncture, exploring the philosophy that each person is guided by one of the five elements and how imbalance can show itself emotionally or physically. That sense of movement, harmony and restoration became the foundation for the visual identity.
The logo became the centrepiece of this identity. Inspired by the symbolism of the lotus flower, a sign of purity, resilience and transformation, we crafted a mark that feels elegant, balanced and immediately recognisable. The form is refined and beautifully structured, giving it a sense of quiet confidence while remaining warm and approachable. Paired with rich, grounding colours, the brand feels both energising and calming, offering a strong visual presence.
For the website, we wanted the experience to feel clear, warm and intuitive. We designed a streamlined user journey that allows visitors to quickly understand Lois’s approach, explore her treatments and reach out with confidence.
Our Solution
The final brand and website present a confident, contemporary identity that blends clinical understanding with holistic care. The logo sits at the heart of the brand, expressing balance and flow while giving Lois a polished, professional visual signature she can proudly build her practice around.
The website introduces Lois’s three core treatment areas - mental health, female health and physical health - with dedicated pages that break down the techniques she uses, including acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and gua sha.
To support new patients, the site also explains what to expect throughout the treatment process, from the initial consultation to ongoing aftercare. An “About Lois” section shares her journey and credentials, helping to build trust and connection, while the contact page makes getting in touch simple with a form, clinic details and phone information.
The result is a cohesive, inviting brand experience that reflects Lois’s unique blend of medical expertise and holistic insight. Calm, balanced and ready to grow - her new identity gives the practice a strong foundation, with a stand-out logo that truly elevates her presence.
