I first turned to acupuncture to support my own experience of endometriosis, and found that it brought a range of meaningful changes to my wellbeing. After over a decade of working in education, I decided to retrain as an acupuncturist, feeling inspired and passionate about helping others who may benefit from support for pain, chronic conditions, or the stresses of everyday life.
I've always been drawn to work that centres on listening, understanding and building genuine connections. Whether in education or acupuncture, I've found that the most meaningful work begins by meeting people where they are, understanding their individual experiences, and supporting them in moving towards where they want to be in a way that is tailored to them.
My three-year training at The City College of Acupuncture included a total of 400 clinical hours, Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and pathology, Western medical physiology and pathology, as well as a year of practical clinical experience. During this time, I treated a wide range of presentations, from back pain and migraine to low mood and menopause symptoms. I have also completed additional training on acupuncture for endometriosis and PMOS.
I hold a first-class Licentiate in Acupuncture (Lic.Ac) and am a registered and fully insured member of the British Acupuncture Council. I continue to work with The City College of Acupuncture as an assistant in point location and anatomy classes.
