In 1993 I trained and qualified in Reflexology. After several years of working in Perth Osteopathic clinic I undertook my training in acupuncture, qualifying in 2001 after 3 years full time study with the National College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. During that time I was involved in teaching and giving workshops for Macmillan nurses and in further education. Most recently I have trained in a number of specialised Japanese and modern acupuncture techniques. In 2010 I graduated with honours in counselling from York St John University and have gone on to work on the NHS providing brief therapy as a BACP registered counsellor. As an acupuncturist I am registered with Chinese Medical Institute and Register (CMIR) and hold full indemnity insurance.
