Hello

I'm a traditional acupuncturist working in Derbyshire from my own purpose built clinic in Quarndon. It's private and tranquil; overlooks beautiful woodland and has been designed to make you feel very comfortable, relaxed and calm.

I treat patients with a wide range of conditions and symptoms. My particular interests are in treating mental and emotional health and well-being, women's health (gynaecology, fertility, menopause and beyond) and cosmetic acupuncture.

My focus is Five Element acupuncture and I combine this with other Chinese Medicine techniques to create integrated and individual treatment based upon your needs.

My Story

I first sought acupuncture to support my IVF journey whilst working long hours in a high level corporate job.

On the face of it I was successful. Underneath the gloss, I felt low, stressed and disconnected from my own health and well-being.

Acupuncture helped me to feel better physically and mentally. It helped regulate my cycles and improved my mood.

I felt calmer, more able to make positive changes and face challenges. I was more connected with myself and others.

I could not have managed the long process of having my two children without my acupuncturist's help.

She inspired me to retrain in this amazing and elegant practice.

My Approach

Whatever reason you seek acupuncture, I work with you to move towards your personal health goals and overall well-being. I treat you as a whole person, not just your symptoms.

I have a wealth of knowledge of Chinese medicine theory that I'm able to share if or when it's appropriate to you.

I provide a calm and positive space where you can relax, feel listened to and cared for.

My Training and Qualifications

I trained with the renowned Acupuncture Academy in Leamington Spa and gained a Distinction in their Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture, a 3 year degree accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board and the Professional Standards Authority.

I received a Distinction for my research project into Five Element Acupuncture for Long COVID.

My training covered all aspects of Chinese medicine and acupuncture theory focusing on the Five Element approach which means I treat holistically, taking into account all signs of imbalance within the body. I'm qualified in various Chinese medicine techniques - Moxibustion, Auricular Acupuncture, Cupping, Gua sha, Tui Na and Teishin.

I'm also qualified in cosmetic acupuncture for facial enhancement gained through Paul Adkins at Facial Enhance.

As a member of The British Acupuncture Council I adhere to their Codes of Safe Practice and Professional conduct. I'm registered with the Professional Standards Authority.
