Acupuncture, Massage & Beauty therapy

I am a TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine) & 5 Element acupuncturist. Those two integrated styles of acupuncture enable me to effectively treat a wide range of mental and physical conditions alongside Tuina massage (clinical Chinese massage), Cupping, Gua Sha, and Moxibustion. I gained a BSc Hons degree from the prestigious College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading.

Every treatment is tailored to your specific needs and the focus is on the root of your symptoms. The practice of acupuncture works to boost your body’s natural ability to recalibrate, replenish and repair. Acupuncture treatment aims to support you in maintaining your unique health and wellbeing.

I will apply a combination of the most appropriate techniques to work alongside acupuncture to benefit you, including techniques such as Cupping, Gua Sha and Moxa, alongside red light therapy, hot stones and Tuina Chinese medical massage.

Continuous learning is important to me ensuring my knowledge and skills remain at the forefront of the acupuncture profession for the benefit of my patients. I am passionate about transforming lives through the Art of Acupuncture.

Currently offering services on a Sunday. Kindly contact me to discuss other days as I will need to ad hoc book my clinic space.

50 Hill Rise is one of Richmond's most relaxing destinations catering to clients looking for rejuvenation and relaxation.

When you book services with me here we will have a private room and you will also benefit from spaces to relax before and after our time together.

My approach is intuitive. Many clients only need to see me once for bodywork. When we move into helping them create tangible change in their lives beyond the borders of their physical body we normally work for a term together.

The more resistance carried in the body, the longer it takes. The more open you are, the more instant the benefits of working with me will be.

My bodywork gently helps clients dissolve patterning that been trapped in the fascia and soft tissues. By dissolving the patterning, the pain and issues within the body are much improved if not entirely disappeared. The result is feeling lighter, freer, joyful, expanded and happy!

Having gained my original qualifications is body therapy in the 90’s, I set up one of London's first corporate wellbeing companies providing massage to Bank of New York and many others. My training has gone beyond standard qualifications and included studying privately in specialist schools and personal mentorship by masters of energy over many consecutive years.

Since 2018 I have been facilitating clients as an accredited master coach, to help them create their impossible dreams. I am now integrating my decades of experience to harmonise the thinking mind with the body intelligence for extraordinary results as clients free themselves from long standing limitations.

Some years ago I was listed on this platform for more conventional treatments, as is evident from the testimonials.

I no longer offer these types of treatments.

I have rejoined the Treatwell platform after spending the last five years online mentoring clients on zoom. However after many clients expressed their relief of seeing me in person I decided it was time to make myself available in person to those clients who are looking for my unconventional approach as it is of vital importance to address the body when we want to create change in our lives, as the body records all our memories and emotions.

All listed services are delivered from one of the therapy rooms within 50 Hill Rise, where I rent space as required for in person clients. Please note: I am not part of the Hill Rise practitioner team, I am an independent specialist consultant.
