About Me
I gained my first-class BSc Degree in Acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, one of the UK's leading schools of Chinese Medicine.
​
A few years prior to undertaking my training, I found myself seeking a holistic approach to supporting my own health issues. I wanted to take back control of my own body and find a way to regain some equilibrium. For me, I found acupuncture to be the perfect fit and those tiny needles made me feel something profound. I was in awe of this magical form of alternative medicine and realised that it was something that I could see myself doing- I searched for the best qualification available in the country, found CICM and never looked back!
​
I have previously studied Psychology and achieved a BSc at Brunel University.
At this time I knew I wanted to help people and connect with them in a way that allowed me to work with them through mental and physical challenges, but using talking therapies alone just didn't feel enough for me. I then became fascinated with the systems and structures of the human body and went on to study for a diploma in massage therapy that incorporated a lot of training in anatomy and physiology. Whilst trying to find the right 'fit' for me I realised that I inherently knew that it did not make sense to me to separate the mind from the body. So, when I discovered Chinese Medicine it became clear that this ancient healing art-form embraced everything that I was looking for- a natural, holistic approach to improving people's lives by balancing their Mind, Body and Spirit through working in harmony with them on an energetic level.
​
Acupuncture and the world of Chinese Medicine is now ingrained into me. It has altered and influenced my perception of the world. Seeing life through this energetic lens is a privilege and I hope to be able to share the power of this healing medicine with you.

My Philosophy
Energy is everything. It governs our bodies and the entire universe is made up of it, it is the fundamental language of communication.
I believe that by treating people constitutionally, at an energetic level, we can become facilitators of more effective communication internally, giving our body the best chance to do what it does best- heal itself.
The body is programmed to constantly try to achieve balance but, in this world we find ourselves living in, that is a constant battle. In the chaos of our current society, something as simple as having an understanding healthcare practitioner that truly has your best interest at heart can be profound.
When seeing a patient for the first time I am observing their internal state through an energetic lens and a good analogy is to picture this as listening to an orchestra of musicians all playing together. To produce beautiful music all the individual players must have their instruments tuned correctly and be in sync with each other. Using diagnostic tools of Chinese Medicine, I try to establish how harmonious the players are and which components are playing out of tune.
I believe that you already have everything you need to thrive and produce beautiful music, my role is simply to be the conductor.
