Working at the Natural Fertility Centre developed my deep interest in understanding and working with women's health and the impact stress and lifestyle can have. The aspect I enjoy most about my work is building a therapeutic relationship with my patients and supporting them through a difficult time in their lives whatever that may be. For some it may be supporting them whilst they are trying for a baby or going through IVF, for others it may be hormonal issues, menopausal changes, depression, chronic illness or back pain. I take the time to really listen to what is going on with patients and use acupuncture to help improve symptoms and wellbeing. I’m also keen to empower patients to understand their own bodies and health.  

As a professional member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the British Association for Nutrition and lifestyle Medicine (BANT) , I adhere to the high standards of code of practice and conduct they dictates. I’m also required to undertake regular CPD (Continuing Professional Development) to keep my knowledge and skills fresh and up-to-date. I have undertaken extensive further formal training including completing a research project into Recurrent Miscarriage in fulfilment of an MSc in Acupuncture and a Diploma in Advanced Fertility Support. A list of the major CPD courses I have done is below. I also continue to develop my understanding of scientific biomedicine, nutrition and lifestyle research, Chinese medicine theory and acupuncture application through my own reading and research.
