Acupuncture helps us address how we live our lives and develops an ability to “tune in” to the underlying natural orders in our bodies and emotions to find health, harmony and aliveness.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, the UK ‘s main regulatory body for the practice of traditional acupuncture, and am also certified in Internal Family Systems Therapy. I have been working as an acupuncturist / therapist for 18 years and use the two most commonly practiced types of acupuncture, Five Element and 8 Principals (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
5 Element Acupuncture first inspired me, through its deep contact with nature and very direct connection between body and mind. Later I studied to integrate this approach with the 8 principal model as it had prooved to be extremely effective in releasing stubborn symptoms.
I began to study acupuncture 20 years ago. I was a dancer then, and I was exhausted by the stress and demands of that life. I went for acupuncture treatment. A recurrent physical problem I’d had for years disappeared and I was so moved by the treatment and encouraged by the advice I received that after completing my current project, I swiftly decided on a change of course.

For many years I worked as an acupuncturist and later as Clinical Supervisor at The Core Trust - a day programme for the treatment of addiction where, working together with other Therapists it was wonderful to see transformation and hope restored.
This work led me to further investigate the interrelationship between mind and body. As a result my practice is informed by ongoing further training not only in acupuncture but other areas that include:
