I am  a member of the British Acupuncture Council and also the Register of Traditional Chinese Medicine designated by the initial MRCTM and have achieved an approved standard of training in both traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine bound by a Code of Ethics and Code of Practice by the register.

I have worked in hospitals in Beijing, China, post graduate studies, and I have been practising acupuncture for over 18 years. My career professional development is ongoing through attending courses and seminars, whilst reading contemporary journals.
