I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) which is the UK’s largest regulatory body for practitioners of traditional acupuncture. I therefore have extensive training and adhere to the Councils’ Codes of Safe Practice and Professional Conduct. I trained at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, one of the leading acupuncture institutions in the UK. In my acupuncture practice I combine the use of two styles – Five Element Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine ‘TCM’ – both have their strengths depending on the needs of the patient, I particularly value the simplicity of Five Element Acupuncture to strengthen emotion or spirit of a patient which in itself can give them a stronger resolve to finding balance in their life. I put emphasis on helping patients to help themselves and therefore give diet and lifestyle advice if required.
