My first encounter with the Oriental Healing Art happened about 13 years ago while I was a student of General Medicine. I had an opportunity to observe, and later to be, an apprentice with a local ophthalmologist who treated his patients with acupuncture. I witnessed the great power of needles and dreamt of becoming an acupuncturist since then.
Chinese say, everything happens in a right time and, I would add, in a right place, too.
My dream came true in 2004 when I obtained a BSc (Hons) Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine specialising in Acupuncture at the University of Westminster, London. In 2007, I completed a two year post graduate course in Chinese Herbal Medicine at LCTA (London College of Traditional Acupuncture).
I have addressed a wide spectrum of health issues during my time in practice and
I have also developed an interest in Fertility treatments,
Pregnancy, Dermatological diseases and Facial Acupuncture.
I have been employed both by the NHS and Substance Misuse Agencies to provide Acupuncture to their patients. Together with my private practice I have done voluntary
work at the Gateway (NHS) Clinic and lectured to Medical students at Barts.
Prior to my Acupuncture training I practiced and taught Bodywork to both private
and corporate clients.
