LAc, MBAcC
~ Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
I specialise in Acupuncture, Guasha, Moxibustion (Moxa), Acupressure and other Chinese Medicine therapies designed to support your health and well being. A Holistic Approach to Healing: my goal is to understand you as an individual - going beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of your condition through the lens of Chinese Medicine. Whether you're seeking relief from a specific issue or looking to maintain overall wellness, my treatments are tailored to deliver real, tangible results as quickly as possible. Many of my patients describe feeling 'more like myself again' or 'in better balance' after treatment, and some choose to continue sessions regularly for ongoing support. You don't need to have a specific condition to benefit from Chinese Medicine - its holistic principles work to align the mind, body, and spirit for optimal well being. I bring extensive experience in acupuncture and a variety of massage techniques, having trained at some of the most respected institutions:
- College of Integrated Chinese Medicine - Trained to the highest standards
- British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC) Member - The UK's leading professional body for acupuncturists
- Middlesex School of Complementary Medicine & Association of Traditional Studies - Advanced training in tuina and massage therapies
- 2020 Giovanni Maciocia Foundation Award Winner - Recognized for excellence in Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
