Work With Me

My role is to support clients who are navigating complex conditions such as reproductive health, complex fertility issues, and chronic and auto-immune conditions with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, and to connect you  with other specialists when appropriate. 

 

I will help you to understand the foundation and progression of your symptoms. 

 

When appropriate, I will guide and connect you to additional support including functional nutritionists, Western specialists, and alternate practitioners. 

  

Part of the treatment may include referring you for appropriate tests to gain a better understanding of what’s going on, and I can interpret the results for you, and use them to tailor my treatments and the advice I give you. 

 

I will clearly communicate with you so that you understand what our shared goal is, and how the treatment plan is progressing.  

 

Your treatment is not necessarily based on your specific condition but instead, on your unique symptoms and medical history, which I use to evaluate the root cause of your condition. The unique observations used in Chinese medicine, which include a thorough consultation and various diagnostic techniques, means that I am able to simultaneously focus on the cause of the condition as well as the most recent presentations, to systematically get you back to feeling well. By administering holistic and patient centred treatments, clients frequently experience additional and unexpected benefits.

What to expect

Treatment can be with herbs alone or include acupuncture. Herbs are usually prescribed once a month, and acupuncture will be administered either weekly or twice a month. My initial consultation involves a thorough review of your medical history, current medication, and a discussion of your symptoms and wellness goals. Through this process, I identify concerns and imbalances within the body and determine the most appropriate herbal treatments to address them. I am also a big believer in using the most up to date research on Chinese herbs and the pathological mechanisms of various conditions to help formulate my treatment strategy and prescriptions.  

Appointments and Fees

Acupuncture: £75/hour

 

Chinese Herbal Medicine: £75/hour, plus the cost of the herbs

 

Initial consultations can take longer than an hour for complex conditions. I will normally set aside 90 minutes for the first consultation, and two hours if you would like an acupuncture treatment in the same session.
