I’ve graduated with First-Class Honours from the International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM) in East Grinstead, UK, in July 2024. I also completed a Tuina Chinese Massage Diploma in September 2024.

With a lifelong passion for medicine and healing, I first qualified as a Veterinarian in 2005 and has worked with animals professionally ever since. While primarily based in the UK, I have also contributed to several welfare animal projects in India and Thailand while traveling.

My love for travel led me to spend extensive time in Asia, where I developed a deep appreciation for Eastern philosophy and traditions. This journey eventually guided me toward the study of Chinese medicine, a field I now embrace wholeheartedly.

I have a special interest in a Classical Chinese medicine approach rooted in ancient classical texts;

  • - Stem and Branches principles (from Chinese cosmology)
  • - Daoist Acupuncture
  • - Meridian Style Acupuncture
  • - Six Confirmations (Six Divisions)

I also include Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Elements models in my practice.

I firmly believe in the power of Chinese medicine to heal by restoring internal balance and strengthening the body’s natural ability to heal. I take a deeply holistic approach, value individualised treatments and cherish meaningful relationships with my patients.
