Introduction
I have been working as an acupuncturist and healer for over 17 years. In that time I have continually trained and developed my practice in the healing arts. I first experienced acupuncture when I had treatment for low energy levels and stress. Through treatment I learned a great deal about myself. My energy levels improved in away that my friends noticed and I became more relaxed. I was hooked! I started training and the rest - as they say - is history.
Acupuncture (from a fully trained acupuncturist) is truly holistic. As such it can go deep to the source of disharmony in body, mind and spirit. I trained in two wonderful but very different styles of Acupuncture, each with its own unique approach and strengths. I have also had advanced training in many common health issues which acupuncture is effective in treating. After these many years of training I still have a commitment to continuous professional development. Healing is my passion; I feel blessed to enjoy this rewarding work.
In my spare time I love to connect with nature; walking in mountains, canoeing or sailing. These activities along with Thai Chi, Yoga and Meditation, sustain me and assist me in my work.
