I studied acupuncture to degree Level for 4 years at the internationally renowned College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading.
My initial training comprised of training in Traditional Chinese Medicine alongside Five Element acupuncture which are the most common styles practiced in the UK.
After graduating I discovered other styles of acupuncture that transformed the way I practised and the results I was getting with my patients. I have studied Master Tung acupuncture, (a traditional family style of acupuncture) with Philip Weeks and Susan Johnson. Because of the benefits I have witnessed using the Master Tung approach, this is now the main style I use in my clinic.
Tung acupuncture uses fewer needles, and incorporates many unique points specific to this style.
Needles are placed distally to where the problem may be, and can often result in immediate changes and pain reduction – often within seconds of needle insertion.
I am passionate about Chinese Medicine and enjoy learning and developing my skills as an acupuncturist. It is important to me that all my patients feel comfortable and relaxed in a safe healing environment, and I aim to treat all my patients equally, and to the best of my skills

Now that Covid safety restrictions have eased we are simply asking that all patients attending appointments feel fully well in themselves or take a lateral flow test (and test negative) before coming into the clinic.
If you have any doubts over your health we are happy to rearrange your appointment. We really appreciate 24 hours notice of this if at all possible.
In addition, we ask that (especially in busy periods) you continue to wear a face covering in the public areas of the clinic.
Thank you for continuing to help us protect our team and more vulnerable patients so that we can continue to look after you all.
