Registered nurse. Diploma-trained in Tui-Na, Medical Qi Gong and Safe Acupuncture. Practising for well over a decade.
I started to focus on holistic treatments and acupuncture while working as a community nurse. After completing my training with May Chen at the Three Treasures School, and with a number of visiting masters, I realised I had a natural healing ability - and decided to follow that vocation full-time, to provide complementary healthcare to people who needed it.
I'm passionate about my work, and I naturally seek to help my clients restore their body's natural balance of Qi, so they can regain good health and wellbeing. I'm also a 2nd Dan blackbelt, and I teach Qi Gong alongside my clinical work.
My guarantee to every client: I'll only start - or continue - a course of treatment if I genuinely believe you'll experience tangible benefit from it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Hospital doctors in China explain the process to their patients in terms of natural energy flows in and around our bodies. When we're well, this energy - Qi - flows through a network of channels across the whole body, in balance and harmony. Acupuncture, Tui-Na and Qi Gong work by removing blockages to that flow, and stimulating it to move more, or less, actively as needed to have the desired effect.
Scientific, controlled experimentation has shown that these techniques genuinely work - MRI scanners can show a change in brain activity when stimulated by acupuncture, but not when a placebo needle is used. In practice, this doesn't just mean treating the symptom, the pain itself - it means helping the body function normally and repair itself naturally, by re-balancing and stimulating energy, or removing whatever blockage is preventing wellbeing.
A note on children: all treatments are safe for children, and I specialise in treating allergies and bed-wetting in younger clients.
