Acupuncture treatment reflects the fact that each person is unique. Your treatment is tailored to address your individual problems. Whatever your symptoms, they exist in the context of your body, your life.
This means that you are at the centre of the healing process.
I use classical traditional Chinese acupuncture to treat a wide range of health problems. I have a Special Interest in the following:
Food and diet is an integral part of Chinese medicine and can be used as part of the treatment in addition to acupuncture. I can offer you guidance on diet, dietary supplementation (vitamins and minerals), remedial exercise (including Qigong), relaxation and meditation, and stress management.
Before embarking on treatment I carry out an in depth consultaion to decide the best approach for you.

In Chinese medicine disease is caused by imbalances, obstructions and weaknesses in the circulation of Qi (‘energy’, vital force) in your body. Acupuncture aims to correct these problems and so restore health and vitality.
Acupuncture has a calming, relaxing effect, improving your sense of well-being and helping in treating your symptoms. Patients who experience stress and anxiety report a general improvement in their overall feeling of wellbeing after treatment.
Acupuncture can also be used to treat pain or other symptoms resulting from a medical condition; from a sports injury or an accident; from a medical procedure; from a disease which is itself not treatable with acupuncture, but where acupuncture can help to control the symptoms; from medical treatment, where acupuncture can help reduce some of the side effects.
