Your
Practitioner
I
graduated with
an honours degree in Traditional Acupuncture from Oxford Brookes
University and The College of
Traditional Acupuncture at Haseley, Hatton, Warwickshire in 2008 and received my full Acupuncture Licence from the
British Acupuncture Council. I also gained an honours degree in Life Sciences from the Open University in 2001. I work
using Classical Five Element Acupuncture as developed by the late Professor J R Worsley. My first career was in nursing;
I qualified as a registered nurse in 1977 and as a registered midwife in 1979. I worked for 15 years in the NHS in Coventry,
Warwick and Leamington Spa before entering the private health care sector in Warwickshire. My nursing, midwifery
and Life Science background put me in an ideal position to understand disease from the western point of view and to
communicate effectively with all western health care providers. My midwifery experience helps me to teach you and
your partner acupressure for use at home during pregnancy and for pain relief during labour. It may be possible to turn
a breech presentaion baby using moxibustion.

Treatments
Five
Element Acupuncture treatments are gentle and holistic. This
branch of
acupuncture is closely related to the natural world
of changing seasons, changing day lengths and the effect these changes have on all life on earth. The patient is always placed
at the centre of each treatment with treatments carried out to suit the individual constitution of each person. My aim is to
restore your natural balance which has been lost at some time thus letting disease get a foothold in the body. I am happy to
discuss any health problem with you at a free 20 - 30 minute visit or on the telephone if this is more convenient. During the
first treatment there is always plenty of time to discuss your current and past health problems in detail. This first treatment
lasts for 90 minutes or a little longer so please allow time for this when booking in. It helps my Traditional Chinese Diagnosis
if you arrive free from scented toiletry products and from facial cosmetics. After taking a full history I perform a Chinese
Medicine physical examination, take your blood pressure then begin to treat you using acupuncture needles. All of my
needles are sterile, disposable and packaged for single use. During needling you may feel a dull ache or a tingling sensation
but many people feel nothing at all.

What if I don't like
needles?
If
you do not
like the idea of needles I can use a Piezo-Quartz point stimulator or
tuning forks of a specific frequency on
your acupuncture points. You might prefer acupressure from a finger tip or from a round ended probe.
