I graduated from the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Warwickshire, where I studied Five Element Acupuncture, in 1997 and then went on to train for a further year at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, where I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the years since I graduated I have worked in Warwickshire, Buckinghamshire and, since settling in Bournemouth in 1999, I have built up an established practice, mainly through word of mouth. I regularly attend post-graduate training courses, and in recent years these have been focused on treating fertility, reproductive health and pregnancy related issues, areas that I have special interest in. In December 2008 I became a founding member of the Zita West National Network for Reproductive Health and undertook specialist training with Zita and her team in London.
