My passion is helping people regain their health and enabling them to live their lives to their full potential.
I am a fully qualified and insured acupuncturist practicing integrated TCM and Five Element acupuncture in Bexhill-on-Sea. I studied at the prestigious College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, where I graduated with a First Class Honours degree and gained my LicAc (Licence to practice acupuncture). To ensure the highest standards of clinical safety and professional care, I am a proud registered member of both The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and The Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC).
From Personal Trauma to a Passion for Chinese Medicine
My path to Chinese Medicine was born out of my own profound experiences with healing. Following the birth of my second son, I struggled deeply with severe postpartum anxiety. This was rooted in a devastating loss; sadly, my first son, passed away at just three weeks old after contracting meningitis.
A friend introduced me to EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), which became a vital lifeline during an incredibly dark emotional time. I was fascinated to learn that EFT, often called "tapping", is based directly on the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine, utilising the body's main acupuncture points to release trauma.
This sparked my deep fascination with how "stuck" emotions manifest as physical ailments, tension, and chronic stress in the body. I went on to train as a qualified EFT practitioner after my daughter was born, intending to bridge into acupuncture as my children grew older.
The Shifting Power of Acupuncture
While counselling provided a vital space to talk through my grief, it was when I began receiving acupuncture treatments myself that I noticed a profound shift. Acupuncture successfully moved and released deep seated emotional trauma that talking alone couldn't reach. It resolved physical symptoms that I finally understood were tied directly to my emotional state.
Driven by this incredible personal transformation, I decided to commit to becoming an acupuncturist. I completed specialised cosmetic acupuncture training under the renowned Amanda Shayle, founder of AcuRegen, learning her unique and powerful facial rejuvenation methods. I then completed my intensive three-year acupuncture degree to bring this comprehensive life changing system of medicine to my patients.
