I experienced acupuncture first hand many years ago after suffering with painful feet and knees for months. A colleague suggested I should try acupuncture and I was truly amazed by its effectiveness. I knew then that acupuncture was a powerful healing system and I was inspired to learn how to help other people improve the quality of their lives by dealing with their pain and problems. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Honours degree by studying Acupuncture and traditional Chinese Medicine for 3 years at the prestigious Northern College of Acupuncture in York. I take an active interest in current clinical research and keep up to date with continuing professional development. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and am bound by their codes of safe practice, ethics and professional conduct to ensure that I provide an exceptional standard of service to all my patients. I have an Advanced CRB check and am a qualified First Aid Appointed Person. It's the best feeling in the world to see patients leave my treatment room feeling cared for and energised.
