My own experience of using acupuncture to support my hormonal health and menopause journey inspired me to train in this field and share its benefits with others. I studied Five Element Acupuncture at the International College of Acupuncture in Oxford, where I learned to treat the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – by addressing imbalances at their root.
I tailor every treatment to individual needs, with particular expertise in women’s health, menopause, mental health, pain management, and fertility. My approach blends the wisdom of Five Element Acupuncture with the clinical insight gained from my healthcare background.

I offer a calm, safe, and supportive space where you can feel heard, cared for, and guided back towards balance and wellbeing.
