Why I Became an Acupuncturist
My journey into acupuncture began with a simple yet profound fascination: energy. I’ve always been curious about how energy flows within us and how it shapes our health and well-being. This curiosity first led me to explore yoga, where I learned to connect breath, movement, and intention. From there, I delved into nutrition, discovering the energy in the foods we eat, and Qi Gong, which taught me how to harmonise the body’s natural rhythms.
Each of these practices opened a door to deeper understanding, but my journey truly shifted after an unexpected diagnosis of premature menopause in my late 20s. It was a life-changing moment that pushed me to look beyond conventional medicine and into alternative ways of healing. That’s when I discovered acupuncture.
Experiencing acupuncture for the first time was transformative. It’s so much more than just needles—it’s about awakening your body’s natural intelligence and working alongside it. By gently stimulating specific energy pathways, acupuncture helps to clear blockages, restore balance, and promote healing on a physical, emotional, and mental level. It wasn’t just about managing symptoms—it was about reconnecting with my health in a way I had never experienced before. Acupuncture opened my eyes to the incredible healing ability of my body.
I knew I had to learn more, not just for my own journey, but to help others experience this incredible connection. Acupuncture became the next chapter of my journey and in 2009, I earned a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture from the University of Portsmouth, formalising my commitment to helping others heal and thrive.
Since then combining everything I have learned and still learning about energy, health, and holistic healing, I’ve been supporting others in their own wellness journeys. I love how acupuncture brings this all together and works not only to relieve immediate pain and stress but also to support long-term wellness by addressing the root causes of imbalance.
Healing takes courage, but you don’t have to do it alone. My integrated approach combines: Acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, nutrition, frequency medicine and lifestyle suggestions.
Every session is tailored to your unique needs because I believe healing is personal. My goal is to create a space where you can feel supported, empowered, and inspired to take charge of your health. Whether it’s finding relief from pain, gaining more energy, or simply reconnecting with your body, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
For me, acupuncture isn’t just a career – it’s a continuation of a lifelong journey to understand and work with the energy that connects us all. If you’re ready to explore your own journey to wellness, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s create a personalised path to wellness and unlock the healing potential that’s already within you.
