ABOUT
ME
HOW I CAME TO ACUPUNCTURE​
​
With a degree in Sociology and English, I spent many years as a casting director across theatre, television, and film.
A pivotal moment led me to reconsider my path, and acupuncture emerged as a natural next step. Having experienced its benefits firsthand, I was drawn to its healing potential. My childhood dream of becoming a doctor was never realized, partly due to challenges with maths and blood, but my passion for connecting with people remained strong.
Casting fueled my love for hearing stories and helping others shine, so transitioning from auditions to acupuncture felt like a perfect fit.

MY QUALIFICATIONS
​
I am a fully qualified traditional acupuncturist with over 12 years of practice, having completed a three-year degree at The Acupuncture Academy, where I earned a Professional Licentiate awarded a distinction. My training focused on Five Element Theory alongside TCM and Western biomedicine.
In 2019, I advanced my skills through a sponsored study program at Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine in Harbin, China.
​
In 2020, I co-founded and led a project providing acupuncture to NHS staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering over 750 treatments to 250+ patients with an 80% reported improvement rate. This work was published in The Journal of Chinese Medicine.
​
More recently, I led the acupuncture team in an NHS trial exploring alternative therapies for long-term trauma patients and have presented on expert panels sharing insights on treating Long Covid.​

HEALTH CONSULTANCY
​
This consultancy grew from years of working with patients facing complex health challenges, journeying with them through what works—and what doesn’t—across Western, Eastern, and alternative therapies. With a personal passion for diverse treatment options, I began to craft a “cast” of trusted practitioners and a carefully sequenced plan to achieve the best outcomes.
This unique approach blends my casting director experience with acupuncture expertise, offering patients a clear, empowering roadmap instead of feeling lost after standard consultations fall short.
I provide tailored consultations with actionable steps to resolve health issues, as well as intensive, bespoke treatment packages designed to address deeper challenges over a focused period, combining multiple modalities tailored to each individual’s needs.
