MY STORY

I decided to train in Five Element Acupuncture as I was amazed at the results from having treatment myself, especially with my mental health - something I never would have thought acupuncture could help with. Things changed in my mid-twenties when I started to experience panic attacks, anxiety and depression.

Having acupuncture treatment was the only thing that got me back to being me, at a time when I wondered if I would ever feel “normal” again. Not only did the anxiety and depression stop completely, other areas of my health improved too.

My menstrual cycle became regular for the first time, sleep improved, back pain alleviated, over-eating stopped, my digestion improved and my general mood and energy also lifted... Not to mention it was an hour in the week I could go and relax to escape the hustle and bustle of life!

I was blown away by the changes in me and at the same time saddened that Five Element Acupuncture wasn’t more widely known about in the ever-more stressful world we live in. I always wanted to do something useful that would help other people, so discovering Five Element Acupuncture felt like a natural calling. I am passionate about helping people feel at their best through this deeply restorative practice and aim to provide a nurturing and supportive experience for every patient. 

TRAINING

I qualified in Classical Five Element Acupuncture with The Worsley Institute in 2022. Since then, I have remained committed to developing and deepening my practice through continued study and professional development.

My further training has included studying with FEAT under Gabriella Doran, Gerard Kite’s Advanced Licentiate Programme at Yellow Path, and biannual consultation days with Hilary Skellon of ITEA, both in London and with COFEA in Dublin. I am currently continuing my postgraduate studies with ITEA through the LEAF 2 programme (Leading Education in Acupuncture for the Future).

I adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards, ensuring safe, effective, and patient-centered care.
