Effectively, knowledgeably and safely giving you acupuncture
I find acupuncture truly fascinating and in 2022 I started my training, committing to helping people heal in a flexible way is tailored to them and their individual needs.
I have a Licentiate in Acupuncture which is a three-year degree level course approved by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board and the British Acupuncture Council, of which I am a full member. This means I am competent to give you acupuncture safely, knowledgeably and effectively.
My personal experience and background
I had my first experience of acupuncture in 2010 when recovering from major surgery after a cancer diagnosis. Having acupuncture helped me reclaim my physical and mental wellbeing and the sessions were also an opportunity to really check in with myself and notice the progress I was making. Since then I have had regular treatments that have helped me with back, shoulder and neck issues along with many other health niggles.
I also work in the framework of my western medical knowledge and experience. I attained a BSc Hons in Microbiology in 2002. Following this I worked in a variety of western medicine healthcare settings, as a radiology assistant and a private practice manager for several Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. I then worked at the Royal College of Anaesthetists for a decade, coordinating educational events for pain management specialists.
About My Treatments
I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture, reiki, electro-acupuncture and facial enhance acupuncture. I also offer moxibustion, gua sha and cupping within a treatment, if appropriate.
I can work with you in a more intuitive, spiritual way focusing on psycho-emotional imbalances that may have affected your health. I am qualified to give reiki healing and I can do this within an acupuncture treatment if this is something that resonates with you.
Alternatively, we can work using evidence-based approaches such as medical or electro-acupuncture. We can also combine approaches and work somewhere in between, depending on your preferences and what you feel would help you best.
I am a full member of the British Acupuncture Council, British Medical Acupuncture Society and UK Reiki Federation. I am on the Facial Enhance Acupuncture practitioner registry having undergone certified training.
