About Me:
With a passion for both tradition and innovation, I bring a modern approach to acupuncture that blends the wisdom of the East with the science of the West. I hold an MSc in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture from Middlesex University and have advanced training in Western Medical Acupuncture through the British Medical Acupuncture Society. My practice is grounded in evidence-based techniques and a deep respect for each individual’s unique journey to health.
My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including my ongoing work at an NHS hospital where I support pregnant and post-partum women, and my previous role at The Disability Foundation based at the Royal National Orthopedic Hospital. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of how acupuncture can support people at every stage of life, in a wide range of health conditions.
I am committed to lifelong learning and regularly update my skills in both traditional and western acupuncture. Medicine is evolving rapidly, and I believe staying informed is essential to providing the best care. As a proud member of the British Acupuncture Council and the British Medical Acupuncture Society, I remain at the forefront of new developments and best practices in the field.
Specialisation:
In my style of practice I harvest the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture with the science of the Western Medical Acupuncture. I am trained to recognise signs of imbalances that cause diseases according to Zhang/Fu organ system. I have completed specialised training in Pregnancy and Childbirth, and Palliative/Cancer Care with the British Medical Acupuncture Society, allowing me to provide focused support in these areas.
Approach:
My primary focus is to determine the root cause of any given condition, and to tailor treatment accordingly, rather than just addressing the symptoms. I incorporate traditional and western innovative needling techniques. The treatment reflects both formed diagnosis and clients preferences. I address every symptom/complain during each sessions.
