I have always had a passion for and been interested in Eastern philosophies and complementary medicine.  I qualified in 1995 in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.  It was during this time that I was introduced to Kundalini yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, which I found to be an incredibly powerful and transformative form of yoga.  In the years that followed, when I was practising in complementary medicine and raising my children, my thirst to expand my knowledge and skills in other areas of complementary therapy grew.  I qualified as a master NLP practitioner, as a diagnostic Thought Field Therapy practitioner and Kundalini yoga instructor.

 I take an holistic approach when treating my patients and use the therapy most appropriate for the presenting symptoms.  This is sometimes a combination of therapies, which may include yoga exercises.  I also offer dietary advice which stems from Chinese, yogic and Western nutritional knowledge.

My aim is to help my patients feel better and to enable them to become more aware of their health and in so doing to achieve a healthier and a happier lifestyle.

Acupuncture is an ancient science which works on the body's energy systems to promote good health.  Fine needles are used to stimulate certain points on the body's meridians to bring about significant energy changes within the body and to clear any blockages which are creating a sense of ill health.  Every patient is looked at individually during the consultation and treatment process, and physical and emotional symptoms are considered so as to make a full diagnosis.  The practitioner will also look at the tongue and take the pulse on both hands to reach a diagnosis based on Chinese medicine, which will ensure that appropriate points are used and appropriate herbs prescribed.  Chinese herbs are used in conjunction with acupuncture to aid and consolidate treatment and good health.
