My interest in East Asian medicine began when I was living in Japan and studying shiatsu. After returning to the UK I qualified in acupuncture in 1991. This was followed by further intensive clinical training in a teaching hospital in Nanjing, China. Since 1998, I have specialised in Japanese acupuncture systems, training in the UK, the Netherlands and Japan. I taught for many years as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Westminster and as a guest lecturer at other acupuncture colleges in the UK. I am passionate about making Japanese acupuncture more widely available to practitioners and patients, organising and teaching post-graduation courses in the UK and abroad.
My clinical experience includes:
I have published numerous articles on Japanese acupuncture and have undertaken research that has been published in professional journals. I have presented papers at the British Acupuncture Council’s Research Symposium & at the British Acupuncture Council conference.
For many years, I was the President of the Toyohari Association UK, a member of the European Branch of the Toyohari Association (EBTA)
