Practioner Biography
My background in health and social care underpins the way I work as an acupuncture practitioner.
I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture from the International College of Oriental Medicine. My training provided a thorough grounding in acupuncture theory and practice, incorporating Stems and Branches and 5 Element systems of acupuncture, alongside the more commonly known Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method. It also included the compulsory study of Western anatomy, physiology and pathology.
Since qualifying, I've gained valuable knowledge and experience through working in private, multidisciplinary clinics for a number of years. Before moving to Somerset, I was also a volunteer acupuncturist at the Brighton-based MacMillan Horizon Centre and the Olive Tree Cancer Support Centre in Crawley for several years, supporting many cancer patients before, during and after their treatments.
I have a strong interest in using acupuncture to help my patients enjoy better health and wellbeing by relieving pain and increasing mobility, reducing stress and anxiety levels and promoting a deeper sense of calm and relaxation. This helps people to achieve better quality sleep, so that they can wake refreshed and enjoy greater daytime energy.
When you receive treatment from me as a qualified and insured member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) you can be assured that your wellbeing and safety is at the heart of everything I do.
