I’m a local acupuncturist and offer Traditional Chinese Medicine based acupuncture in Kibblesworth, Gateshead.

I became an acupuncturist as I wanted to support people to feel better and I’m so pleased that I get to do just that.

As a practitioner and acupuncture patient, I understand just how beneficial a holisitic approach can be in supporting concerns that are often complex and layered. My approach is warm, friendly and gentle and places the patient at the centre of their treatment.

As a degree-qualified acupuncturist, I’m a member of The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) which is the leading professional body for traditional acupuncturists in the UK. The BAcC is also accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). During my degree at The Northern College of Acupuncture, I studied subjects including chinese medicine, biomedicine, pharmacology and bodywork, completed thorough clinical assessments and completed over 400 clinical hours treating patients under supervision.

Whilst I’m a general practitioner and support people with a range of concerns, I have a special interest in women’s health, chronic conditions and mental health, where I believe gentle, consistent treatment can make a big difference. I have also completed CPD training in acupuncture for fertility (including natural and IVF assisted conception).

When I’m not in clinic, I’m at my happiest walking somewhere quiet and green, having a warm drink at my favourite local cafe or spending time with loved ones.

If you’d like to have a chat about how acupuncture may be able to help you, I’d love to hear from you.
