I received my Licentiate in Acupuncture (Lic Ac) and qualified with a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the prestigious College of Integrated Chinese Medicine and practise Integrated Acupuncture: A combination of Five Element Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
I am passionate about using the ancient teachings of Chinese medicine, focusing on the Five Element lineage, to help patients with a range of problems: From stress and anxiety, insomnia, tiredness, gut and bowel disorders, gynaecological disorders, fertility, physical pain and tension to chronic disease. My focus is to establish the root cause of dis-ease to enable the body to gently rebalance and repair. In this way, the individual is subtly yet potently reminded of what they know is truly right and authentic for them.
I also place an emphasis on acknowledging and valuing the uniqueness of who we are, understanding how we relate to our surroundings and how we can calibrate into the world more seamlessly, so that we feel genuinely aligned with our thoughts, feelings and actions, and make sense of how we can be better to ourselves and to those around us.
Prior to becoming an acupuncturist, I gained a BA (Hons) in French and German, and went on to spend the next 15 years in the film industry, translating, subtitling and dubbing films and dramas for large production houses in the UK, Europe and USA. After personally having experienced the transformative effect of over 15 years of Five Element Acupuncture, and looking for a change from the hustle and bustle of the film world to something that felt more organic, natural and meaningful, I decided to pursue a career in Chinese medicine.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), the largest regulatory body for practitioners of acupuncture in the UK, and am bound by the strict professional codes of conduct and safe practice of the BAcC.
