I have been practising acupuncture for 11 years and I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, which is the main governing body for Traditional Acupuncturists in this country.
I worked for nearly 20 years as a social worker in Nottingham, but became increasingly interested in acupuncture having had a very positive experience of it myself when I had post-natal depression with my first child.
This background has been really helpful in having a good understanding of psychological and emotional problems.
I initially studied "5 Element Acupuncture" for 3 years at the College of Traditional Acupuncture, Leamington Spa. Having set up my own acupuncture practice in Sherwood, I went on to do a 2 year post-graduate course in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading.
Short post-graduate courses are regularly attended as part of my continual professional development.
I am particularly interested in fertility and pregnancy problems and have done specialist training in this area.
I have also completed a course in auricular (ear) acupuncture, which is used to help people give up smoking, drugs or alcohol.
