About Genna
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. 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 using to help other people- so I searched for the best qualification available in the country and never looked back!
I previously studied Psychology and achieved a BSc at Brunel University. I knew I wanted to help people and connect with them in a way that allowed me to support them through mental and physical challenges, but using talking therapies alone just didn't feel deep enough for me. I 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 mind, body and spirit on an energetic level.
Acupuncture and the world of Chinese Medicine is now ingrained into me, and 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.
I believe that you already have everything you need to thrive and heal. My role is simply to open the door.
"Balance in the body is the foundation for balance in life".
