Jo has a four year BSc Honours degree in Acupuncture from the highly respected College of Chinese Integrated Medicine which is affiliated to Kingston University. With a background in education, Jo's initial interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine was sparked after she sought treatment for insomnia, wanting a natural approach to its management instead of a chemical one. Through clinical practice, Jo has seen at first hand, the benefits acupuncture can bring to patients both as a single therapy and alongside Western medicine.
