I have been working with the Chinese system of health and healing since 1991. Seven of those years were spent in a Buddhist monastery where I studied the deeper aspects of healing and a specialised use of acupuncture points. Following on from that I graduated from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, the largest and one of the most highly regarded colleges in the country. I am now part of the college faculty, lecturing in Chinese Medicine and practical skills. I keep up to date with current research and new techniques through a commitment to Continuing Professional Development, and am a Member of the British Acupuncture Council – the main regulatory body of the acupuncture profession.
