She offers an individual treatment plan, which may include lifestyle advice, exercises and techniques to use at home.
An interest in evidence-based research has led Harriet to be involved in acupuncture trials looking at back pain, irritable bowel syndrome, osteoarthritis of the knee and depression. In 2007 Harriet was awarded an MSc in Health Services Research at the University of York. Her research project was funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC).
