I studied traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture for 3 years at Lincoln University and graduated with a first class honours degree. I am a published author and member of the British Acupuncture Council, a body that ensures some of the highest standards of practice and conduct.

I have personally experienced the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and as a practitioner I am constantly aware of its effectiveness. I am passionate about traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and believe that it offers a real alternative to Western medicine’s pharmacological and dualistic approach. I think the holistic nature of traditional Chinese medicine, its emphasis on treating the individual and the time taken to truly understand the person being treated and their patterns of illness is a natural and effective way of healing.


I am by no means against Western medicine, in fact without it I would probably not be here now. However, I feel that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment can help on many levels and when combind with Western medicine then patient wellbeing is often improved along with a reduction in the need for pharmaceuticals and Western medicine consultations. As the NHS becomes more understanding of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture (as is being seen in reports such as the NICE recommendation for low back pain) I believe a more effective and personal health care will emerge where we put the patients first, not illnesses.

My philosophy is simply to improve quality of life through the holistic application of acupuncture, lifestyle advice and traditional Chinese medicine therapies whilst remaining conversant with modern traditional Chinese medicine techniques and being mindful of the classical roots, wisdom and tradition of Chinese medicine.
