Five Element Acupuncture

When I first had acupuncture, I was amazed at its simplicity, and the speed with which I felt better. I wanted to know more about this voodoo! And, so began my life as a healer, as I sought out the leading centre of study.

I came to acupuncture after experiencing a collection of symptoms that did not add up to anything diagnosable, but that nonetheless impaired my ability to enjoy life to the full.  Western medicine wasn’t able to help me until I met the criteria for a full blown disease – go away and come back when you have all 5 indicators! I thought that was crazy: there must be a better way! Thankfully I discovered acupuncture, which alleviated my symptoms, and helped me to process and release emotional issues  held in my body that had arisen from childhood loss and trauma.

Now I am humbled by the health journeys of my patients, as they come back into balance, and are able to live more rich and rewarding lives.

As a member of the British Acupuncture Council, I am governed by codes of safe practice and professional conduct.  I carry full professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover. Historically, the skills of acupuncture were handed down from master to apprentice, and I am committed to deepening my learning through Continuing Professional Development. I’m also a regional group co-ordinator of the British Acupuncture Council.

In my time I have worked in publishing and overseas development. I have maintained a meditation practice for over 35 years, and for a few years, I lived in a meditation centre. I continue to deepen my connection to Buddhist and Daoist teachings. Born in the UK, my roots are in India and China.
