I obtained my degree in Five Element Acupuncture in 2004 from the College of Traditional Acupuncture, Leamington Spa.

For me, Five Element Acupuncture is an ancient and beautiful system of medicine which takes the laws of nature into account when treating a person in order to bring them back to who they really are: a happy and healthy human being.

Although acupuncture is often thought of as a treatment for the relief of pain, it is also just as effective in the treatment of many other ailments and conditions – some of which, sadly, we have come to accept as a normal part of modern life – headaches, IBS, insomnia, PMT, sub-fertility, anxiety, depression, backache and lethargy for example.

The effect of good acupuncture, however, is to do more than simply cure symptoms: hence the frequent comment that “I’m feeling better in myself” which refers to things such as:

bulletAn increased in vitality, drive and energy levels overall
bulletGreater enjoyment of life, a general sense of well being
bulletGreater confidence
bulletImproved mental clarity and memory

I have a core belief that treating a person holistically, as a unique individual reawakens the body’s ability to heal itself. I also believe that acupuncture and western medicine have a natural synergy, and that acupuncture is as relevant and effective today as it was in the time of the Yellow Emperor.

Acupuncture is not a quick fix however.  You really are ‘what you eat’ and how you live. As part of your treatment, we will discuss your diet and lifestyle to identify any negative factors which may be influencing your health. 

Since graduating, I actively continue specialist postgraduate training and have attended advanced workshops around male and female infertility, pain and treating patients infected with HIV/Aids.   

My personal interest lies in treating women’s issues ranging from problems with fertility to supporting women through ART, pregnancy and preparation for childbirth.  I also have great success in treating anxiety and depression. 

Please feel free to call me to discuss what acupuncture can do for you today.
