Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Craniosacral therapy are incredibly powerful, safe, healing modalities that offer a different perspective on health and illness – one that complements conventional medicine. They have helped millions of people the world over and I feel so fortunate to to practice them.
Over the 30+ years I have been practicing I have supported adults (and children) with a multitude of different health conditions as well as providing wellness care. I have a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of York. My PhD research was on the treatment of depression with acupuncture – and it was about developing a clinical trial that reflected real world practice. Such clinical trials are very useful because they help healthcare providers calculate the economic benefits of a treatment as well as investigating clinical outcomes, acceptability and safety.

As well as seeing people in my home clinic in York, I also offer an online/remote consultation and prescription service for Chinese herbal medicine. Please click this link to find out more about this service.
As a therapist, I offer:
- Care from a registered practitioner – I am registered with the AAC (Association of Acupuncture Clinicians), which is part of the British Acupuncture Federation and the CSTA (Craniosacral Therapy Association). I am also registered with the FTCMP (Federation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners) and a member of the Herbal Alliance, an umbrella organisation that brings herbal medicine practitioners together.
- A wealth of experience – I have over 30 years of clinical experience and have trained in the UK, Europe and Asia, in many different styles of practice and techniques. I am trained in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Classical Acupuncture (following the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen), Five Elements, TCM and a range of classical and modern Japanese approaches to acupuncture, Classical Chinese herbal medicine including Jing Fang and Kampo
- A caring supportive mindful approach – Mindfulness techniques play an important role in my work to help my clients feel relaxed and safe – to explore underlying issues that create stress and anxiety, at their pace.
- A holistic and truly complementary perspective – I look at the whole picture, listening carefully to my client’s illness story and use diagnostic methods from Chinese medicine. I also listen with my hands – and feel the body’s rhythms and flow using craniosacral therapy skills. I work with the body not against it, trusting it’s wisdom. Our bodies have enormous wisdom and healing capacity – and I try to unlock this.
- Care from a health practitioner with an understanding of clinical research and evidence based medicine.
