I experienced acupuncture first hand many years ago after suffering with painful feet and knees for months. A colleague suggested I should try acupuncture and I was truly amazed by its effectiveness. I knew then that acupuncture was a powerful healing system and I was inspired to learn how to help other people improve the quality of their lives by dealing with their pain and problems. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Honours degree by studying Acupuncture and traditional Chinese Medicine for 3 years at the prestigious Northern College of Acupuncture in York. I take an active interest in current clinical research and keep up to date with continuing professional development. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and am bound by their codes of safe practice, ethics and professional conduct to ensure that I provide an exceptional standard of service to all my patients. I have an Advanced CRB check and am a qualified First Aid Appointed Person. It's the best feeling in the world to see patients leave my treatment room feeling cared for and energised.
Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine which has been used for over 3000 years. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a safe, gentle and reliable system which restores your body’s natural energy flow and balance. Acupuncture encourages the body to heal itself, it treats the whole person and any underlying conditions, not just the presenting symptoms. The World Health Organisation and NICE (National Institute of Clinic Excellence) in the UK recommend acupuncture for a wide range of conditions.
