I first came to acupuncture in the early 1980's when I received treatment from an experienced American lady practitioner who had trained in England under Professor J.R. Worsley*. I was so struck by this approach to healing and its beneficial effect on me that, not long after, I applied to join the same College - The College of Traditional Acupuncture in Leamington Spa, where students were taught the beauty, depth and wisdom of Five Element Acupuncture, treating body, mind and spirit as a whole.

As a practitioner of traditional acupuncture since 1984, I have enjoyed the opportunity to help very many people who have come to see me with a whole range of acute and chronic problems, stress related and otherwise, as well as for support through pregnancy and post-natally.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine known to mankind. It originated in China, and has been used to restore, promote and maintain good health for thousands of years - a testament to its effectiveness.

Traditional acupuncture works to maintain the body's equilibrium by focusing on all aspects of well-being; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. The principles on which it is based relate to the order of Nature (the way the universe works). The observation and knowledge of these principles can be seen to underlie the whole of Chinese culture, including all traditional Chinese medical thinking.
