As a graduate of the internationally renown College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading I have dedicated four years to study the two classic styles of Chinese Medicine - TCM and Five Element Acupuncture. I am a mother of two girls and passionate about promoting women's health and physical-emotional wellbeing. My special medical interests are gynaecological disorders, male and female infertility and healthy pregnancy.
Chinese medicine is the longest continuous medical system known to man. By the end of the Tang dynasty in the 10th century, five centuries before the birth of Western medicine, the Chinese had already developed a highly comprehensive body of medical knowledge and methods, many of which were far in advance of the West.

Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine with increasing scientific research supporting its beneficial use. Acupuncture concentrates on helping the body healing itself by using points unique to you, specific to what you need. A full case history including information regarding your health condition, lifestyle, diet and history will be taken lasting for up to two hours.
I have practised 5 Element Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine since 1998, when I graduated from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading. My initial enquiry into acupuncture and other healing methods stemmed from travels through Asia, where holistic medicine is incorporated into daily life. On my return to the UK, I trained and subsequently worked as an acupuncturist, as well as in the field of nutrition and in personal development.

Prolapse discs at L4/5 and L5/S1 while taking part in university 1st XV rugby ended my rugby playing, but started my life with chronic pain. Over this time I have tried therapies from all over the world (from Chinese acupuncture to German Orthopedic surgeons) and I have found that Osteopathy has been consistently the most effective long term treatment. I believe that osteopathic care is the cornerstone of any comprehensive and holistic health program.
