Chinese Medicines Strengths

I believe that Chinese Medicine is one of the most subtle and sophisticated forms of medicine in the world

 

It truly listens to you as an individual and aims to understand and address the root cause of your complaint.

 

By informing a unique treatment plan this can genuinely help to resolve your current health issues

A little bit about me...

 

After graduating from Leeds University in 1997 with a BSc (hons) degree in Psychology I lived and worked in Japan & China for more than 3 years and became inspired by their traditional Oriental systems of healing.

 

It sparked a learning journey that has never ended, leading to two decades of studies in Shiatsu, Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and specialist trainings in women’s health, pregnancy & postnatal care, dermatology and the treatment of babies and children.

 

I am now the director and principal of The European Shiatsu and Acupuncture School Brighton and am dedicated to passing on my knowledge and passion for Chinese Medicine and the health benefit it can offer everyone.
