Let's talk...

...about working with me.

​

I pride myself on providing a comfortable, safe and judgement free environment, where we can chat openly and come to a solution together.

​​

Coming to see me isn't about getting a foot rub and some 'woo', (neither of which you will receive!).

I have spent over £30k on my education for Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture alone, to be able to provide you with effective treatment.  For my degree (which is a Bachelor's of Science) and continuing professional development, I am trained in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Bio Medicine (Western Medicine) and I have vast amounts of extra education for Fertility & IVF.​​​

 

The beauty of TCM is there is always a diagnosis, of which there isn't always in western medicine (unexplained fertility issues or being told to take some medications and crack on sound familiar?!), so we will always have something to work with.

​​​

​Treatment is always personalised to you and it is constantly under review and fluid to move with progress - I research, review and adapt your treatment plan - the work I put in to help you is not just in the clinic room - I will always be looking for the most efficient way to have treatment success for you, we very much work together and you will always be a part of decisions for your treatment.

Time Frames & Co-Operation​

When you are having Acupuncture with me, there can be some uncomfortable questions asked of you, especially if you are having fertility/IVF treatment.  E.g I will ask you in depth about your bleeds, your bowel movements, your mood.  I will ask to look at your tongue.  You can always choose not to answer questions that I ask, but the more honest you are with me, the better a treatment and outcome I can provide for you.  Trust between us is vital.​

​

I will need to see as much information as you can provide me in relation to testing that has already been done, scans and blood work.

​

Sometimes I may ask that you undertake further tests either within the NHS or privately, generally this is with fertility treatment.

​

Sometimes I may suggest supplements and diet and lifestyle changes.

​

Especially for fertility and IVF work, I will ask you to log symptoms, details of periods, track BBT and ask you to send that to me before your session so I can prepare properly for our time together.

​

Your co-operation in your treatment is vital, it isn't just about coming and having a few needles put in.  We'll work together properly to get a solution for you.
