Lic. Ac. (Hons), MBAcC, Dip. Tui Na, FEA, BSc (Hons) & MA
After having completed an intensive programme of study at the highly regarded City College of Acupuncture in London, I graduated with a first-class Licentiate in Acupuncture (Lic. Ac.) as well as a Diploma in Tui Na massage (Dip. Tui Na). I am also a FacialEnhance® Practitioner (FEA), trained by Paul Adkins, the founder of this renowned technique. Additionally, I successfully completed both the Auricular Acupuncture Master Class and the NADA 5-Point Protocol training for detoxification and stress management at The Yuan Traditional Medicine College in South London. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a teaching assistant at the City College of Acupuncture, providing support and guidance to students with their acupuncture studies.I have a special interest in women's health because I'm profoundly fascinated by the complexities and mysteries of our bodies while also determined to better understand how to specifically address the health concerns and needs affecting women. Find out why I decided to change professions and start a completely new career in acupuncture below. Let my skills, along with the wisdom and principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, support and guide you in your health and wellness journey. Please note that I am a member of The British Acupuncture Council which sets the highest professional standards for acupuncture in the UK. I follow a strict Code of Ethics, Rules & Regulations as well as a Code of Professional Conduct & Safe Practice to ensure that my patients receive the highest standard of care. My Story
No pain, no gain – in my case, that phrase captures precisely how my path into acupuncture began.
If you had told me ten years ago that I would become a licensed acupuncturist with a clinic of my own in North London, I would never have believed it. Before having children, I enjoyed a rewarding and fulfilling career as a primary school teacher. But after the birth of my fifth child – yes, FIVE – my health was at its lowest point, and nothing was making a difference. I was physically, mentally and emotionally depleted and struggling with chronic back pain.
A friend suggested acupuncture and TCM, and I was fortunate to find a supportive BAcC practitioner whose care helped me regain my strength, clarity and balance. The experience was so transformative that I felt compelled to learn how this remarkable medicine worked. That curiosity led me to the City College of Acupuncture, where I trained in acupuncture and tui na. My training at CCA did far more than qualify me as an acupuncturist; it nurtured my confidence and deepened my commitment to patient-centred care.
As I establish my own practice in Winchmore Hill, North London, my clinical focus is on women’s health – supporting and empowering women as they navigate the many stages and challenges of life. I feel truly privileged to offer others the same support and healing that once transformed my own life.
