I began studying Chinese Medicine over 20 years ago with Qigong in 2004. In 2008 I started a degree in acupuncture and graduated in 2011 with a BSc 1st Class Honours. My training was in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Five Elements, and along with the Qigong studies, this gave me a thorough foundation in acupuncture. My practice of acupuncture is thanks to the many great teachers I have had, including world renowned experts in their field. I am a licensed acupuncturist and an insured member of The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), and adhere to its professional standards and safe practice. I continue to develop my acupuncture knowledge attending post graduate training courses. I am also certified in Qigong and practice every day.
Acupuncture improves the flow of energy in the body and works on the principle of Tong Zhè Tòng, Tong Zé Bù Tòng, a key phrase in Chinese Medicine, meaning, if the energy isn't flowing freely there is pain and disease, if the energy is flowing freely there is no pain or disease. Acupuncture can help the whole body and most conditions, internal and external. It is especially good with:
• Stubborn physical pains such as sciatica, back pain, knee pain, arthritis, neck and shoulder pain, foot and heel pain including plantar fasciitis, aching muscles and joints
• Emotional issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, mood swings
• Digestive problems such as IBS, bloating, constipation, acid reflux, SIBO, diverticulitis
• Headaches, allergies, sinus issues, congestion
• Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, painful periods
In your initial consultation we will discuss your condition, look at your medical history, and have an acupuncture treatment tailored to your specific needs. The body always moves towards balance if it can, one of my teacher’s explained, and in my clinical experience I have found this to be so true. One of the main aims of the practitioner is to help remove the obstacles, thereby allowing the body to help itself.
I love practicing acupuncture, it is a great joy to see so much benefit come from just a few needles.
