I also hold a BA from Oxford in Human Sciences.
I am a fully insured member of The British Acupuncture Council, the only regulatory body for acupuncture accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. I adhere to the highest standards of safety and professional conduct and undertake continued professional development and supervision.

My story
I initially qualified as a solicitor but found this a stressful career and decided to become a professional hand embroiderer at the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace. It was during this other needle-related career that I first experienced the positive benefits of acupuncture. The fine needlework gave me eye pain and acupuncture provided great pain relief and has been an amazing health support ever since. I also attribute acupuncture to improving my fertility. As a teenager I had only two heavy periods a year and was put on the contraceptive pill to regulate my hormones. When trying to get pregnant, acupuncture helped to regulate my periods to every 10 weeks and I was able to naturally conceive within 8 months. I am now lucky to have two gorgeous sons.
After this incredibly positive experience of acupuncture for optimizing my own health, I have become passionate and dedicated to learning traditional Chinese acupuncture to help others.
