My training, work experience and any achievement

My practice integrates two ‘styles’ of acupuncture - Five Element Constitutional
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The two styles used together
form an integrated approach and provide a greater variety of diagnostic methods
and treatment options to benefit my patients.

I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, the registering body for professional acupuncturists in the UK. I abide by the Council’s Code of Safe Practice and Code of Professional Conduct and adhere to strict clinical hygiene standards. I also regularly update my practice skills by following an individual programme of continuing professional development.
