“Having been a teacher of various disciplines all my working life, combining this passion with my love of Chinese medicine has been a thoroughly enriching experience.
In private practice I see the full gamut of clinical conditions but over recent years I’ve enjoyed additionally treating in several specialist settings, including: 3-year term as in-house TCM practitioner for Kent Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre; offering lymphatic decongestive therapy for patients with complex lymphatic conditions following cancer treatment.”
