About the Business
I would describe myself as having a professional and enthusiastic approach to caring for people who want to make changes to their health situation. I use Acupuncture and supplementary Chinese Medicine techniques. My philosophy is to work collaboratively with patients, this will involve discussing how lifestyle and dietary changes can support treatment.
My passion for Acupuncture began when I received treatment from my local traditional acupuncturist and was impressed by the results and my improved quality of life – this is why my clinic is named Inspiration Acupuncture. I wanted to help other people in the same way and decided to train to become a practitioner.
I undertook extensive training at the internationally renowned College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, where I studied for four years to gain a Bsc (Hons) in Acupuncture and was granted a Licentuate of Acupuncture.

About Traditional Acupuncture
The overall aim of Acupuncture treatment is to restore the body’s equilibrium. What makes this system so uniquely suited to modern life is that the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects a person are seen as interdependent.
Acupuncturists are trained to use diagnostic techniques that are based on traditional beliefs and have been developed and refined for centuries. The focus is on you as an individual, not your illness, and all the symptoms are seen in relation to each other. Each patient is unique; two people with the same western diagnosis may well receive different Acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncturists believe that the underlying principle of treatment is that illness and pain occur when the body’s Qi (pronounced ‘chee’), or vital energy, cannot flow freely. There can be many reasons for this; emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection or injury are among the most common. By inserting ultra-fine, sterile, disposable needles into specific Acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncturist seeks to re-establish the free flow of Qi to restore balance and trigger the body’s natural healing response.
