More about me
I completed my degree (BSc) in Acupuncture and a Diploma in Tui Na massage at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (LCTA). I hold an additional qualification in Qi Gong (Chinese exercise and breathing techniques) and have undertaken specialist training and education in the treatment of sports injuries, fertility treatments, cosmetic acupuncture and auricular acupuncture.
I have a thriving treatment clinic also offering classes in both Pak Mei Kung Fu and Qi Gong. I was until recently, along with Paul Blacker, a member of the pre and post-match treatment multi-disciplinary treatment team at New Ash Green Rugby Club, in Kent.
