I am passionate about health & wellbeing and helping people feel their best. Prior to training as an acupuncturist I worked in the field of psychology with adults and adolescents with mental health and emotional issues for over 10 years. Observing how a person's emotional health affected their physical health and how a person's physical health affected their well-being I wanted to retrain in a modality that could address both issues. I began my Acupuncture training in England and studied there for three years, before moving to the US and training for a further three years.

Many people turn to acupuncture for natural, effective, and personalized care. Whether you are dealing with pain, stress, or simply want to feel your best, acupuncture can help restore balance and experience improved overall health, greater mental clarity and a heightened sense of emotional wellbeing. Although acupuncture involves the insertion of needles, the procedure is considered minimally invasive and very safe. Unlike hypodermic needles used for injections, acupuncture needles are extremely thin, flexible, and solid, making them much less likely to cause tissue trauma.
