About me
Formally, I worked as a biomedical scientist within NHS pathology departments in various parts of the country. In 1986 I became the technical manager of the Cellular Pathology Department at Victoria Hospital Blackpool.
As a result of a back injury I became interested in alternative approaches to treatment and in 1996 I decided to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine) at the Northern College of Acupuncture, York.
After seven years of intensive study, I graduated in Acupuncture (2000) and Chinese Herbal Medicine (2003).
For several years I was locum clinic supervisor at the Northern College of Acupuncture, York.
I also supervised students in the acupuncture clinic at University of Salford and lectured on Anatomy and meridian theory as part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) degree course at Salford. I also lectured on Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine to the BSc ( Hons) Nursing / RN students as part of the ADB332 Therapeutic Interventions (2) module at St Martin’s College Lancaster.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine, following the rules, codes and ethics, governed by these bodies.
I am committed to Continuous Professional Development, regularly attending post graduate studies within the United Kingdom, and completed Clinical Practice at the International Training Centre—Nanjing University—China 2004.
In 2010, I completed a course in TCM Gynaecology and Obstetrics and successfully gained a diploma thereby becoming an Associate Practitioner of the Women's Natural Health Practice London.
