I became interested in acupuncture through finding it an extremely effective therapy personally. I completed both an honours degree in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture at the University of Westminster, which also included a training in massage (although I already had a qualification in massage at this point). An education in the principles and practice of Chinese Medicine, this training also gave me a thorough grounding in science and equipped students to practise within the context of Western medicine.

I completed post-graduate training and practice in acupuncture at Szechuan University Hospital in China. Back in London I worked in the only NHS Chinese Medicine clinic at the time (The Gateway Cinic) as well as on the teaching on the Acupuncture BSc that I trained on at the University of Westminster, at the Rainer Foundation in South East London, providing acupuncture to vulnerable young people and in private practice, particularly with pregnancy.

Since then I have treated a wide range on conditions. My massage experience has allowed me to attention to posture and alignment, where this is a component of musculo-skeletal problems. My areas of particular interest and experience are women's health, pregnancy, fertility and treating children - completing a one year Paediatric Acupuncture training. I enjoy providing a relaxing treatment space and and helping clients to support their own health through self-care. I have clinics in Stroud and Nailsworth.
