I offer Traditional Acupuncture and Massage Therapy (usually separately) at Tree of Life Centre – a well established multi-disciplinary clinic licensed by Brighton and Hove City Council in East Sussex. I provide a calm space in a friendly and relaxing clinic where you can be yourself and unwind whilst the treatment is taking place.

I have worked in the field of health and wellbeing for over 30 years. Initially a strength and conditioning coach, in 2002 I extended my skillset to include soft tissue and remedial massage therapy and later added mindfulness and meditation.

In 2023 I graduated from the Acupuncture Academy in Leamington Spa with a distinction for their Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture (a three year degree qualification accredited by both the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board and the Healthcare Regulation | Professional Standards Authority. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council.

The Acupuncture training was extensive, covering Chinese medicine and acupuncture theory with a focus on the Five Element approach as well as biomedicine to understand body systems and the conditions that patients may present with. I often incorporate other Chinese medicine techniques such as moxibustion, auricular acupuncture, cupping, gua sha and teishin.

My approach is unique and holistic and my aim in each treatment is to give patients the time and support they need to heal and gain confidence in their bodies and health again. I have built a strong network with other health professionals – osteopaths, physios, GP’s, psychotherapists, nutritionists and homeopaths; and on occasion I may refer patients to other forms of intervention.
