My background I grew up on the west coast of Ireland where I first became interested in caring for people's health and qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1983. Having married and moved to London, I trained as a Midwife at The Whittington Hospital. In 2007, I went on to study at the International College of Oriental Medicine and gained a BSc Honours degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2012. Since then I have been happily and busily practising full time Acupuncture in my East Sussex clinics. My approach My approach is caring, holistic and focused on providing the best possible outcome for you. A wide range of conditions are seen at the Clinic and I bring my expertise and experience as both acupuncturist and nurse to help and support my clients. To this end, I have continued my post-graduate acupuncture training across a wide range of issues including pain control, muscle injuries, reproductive health, cancer care, pregnancy and birth. |
Assurance I am a member of The British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC) which is the UK's principal regulatory body for the practice of traditional acupuncture with a membership of over 3,000 acupuncturists. All members of the BAcC offer you the following assurances:
