My Approach To Acupuncture
As an acupuncture practitioner I have a professional, warm & holistic approach to acupuncture. In my acupuncture clinics in Belsize Park, East Finchley & Kentish Town, Camden London I offer a safe, clean environment, a relaxed, comfortable space where your symptoms can be treated and you can recuperate & rejuvenate through receiving acupuncture.
- I prefer to treat only one patient at a time so that you receive individual attention for an hour's treatment which often includes additional acupressure in addition to acupuncture while I am observing and monitoring how you are responding to the treatment. My patients appreciate this quality of attention.
- I will find out why you've come & encourage you to discuss any concerns, worries or preferences before acupuncture treatment
- You will first have a consultation where I will ask you questions about your lifestyle, health, history & current health problems. You can also ask me questions about the Chinese acupuncture treatment
- Diagnosis of your energetic imbalances is made through verbal, visual & touch cues, alongside a subtle pulse & tongue examination – which informs the Chinese acupuncture treatment
- I will then formulate an acupuncture treatment plan including the points need stimulating to bring you back into balance
- I also offer gentle, relaxing shiatsu massage on your back, neck & shoulders before the acupuncture treatment begins
- Acupuncture needles will be gently inserted into appropriate acupuncture points to obtain a change in your pulse, and left in for a period of time. I only use sterile, single-use, disposable ultra fine acupuncture needles
- During the acupuncture treatment I sometimes also offer light acupressure on some acupuncture points. For musculo-skeletal problems I offer shiatsu massage to gently realign & maintain your bone structure, joints & tendons
What is Acupuncture
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture (Chinese Acupuncture or Traditional Acupuncture) is an effective, safe, clean, gentle & surprisingly relaxing holistic body therapy, which is tailored to our own unique constitution and symptoms. Chinese Medicine Acupuncture treatment helps to relieve pain (also chronic pain), tension, stress which are seen as obstructions in the flow of energy (Qi) through an invisible network of pathways or channels (Meridians). These channels may be accessed through over 350 points all over the body, using very fine acupuncture needles.
Acupuncture Addressing Imbalances
Our unique constitutional make-up is created by our family history (genes), childhood, lifestyle & environment. Through the complex art of oriental diagnosis, subtle imbalances can be detected before they have become clinical conditions. Through Acupuncture these imbalances can be addressed so we can return to our equilibrium. Acupuncture treatment supports the body's own self-healing & re-balancing mechanisms.

Why I Was Drawn To Traditional Acupuncture
Personal Motivation
I have been fascinated by the relationship between the mind, emotions and the body. I was drawn to Acupuncture therapy after receiving beneficial Chinese acupuncture treatment. I found acupuncture deeply relaxing, gentle, connecting & rejuvenating. After a course of Traditional Chinese Medicine – Acupuncture I noticed that my symptoms had gone, I also felt energised and more at one with myself. This positive experience, and belief in the power of acupuncture & traditional Chinese medicine led me to train as an acupuncturist in Camden, London.
