My Story
My journey into acupuncture began 8 years ago, when I was 39 and looking for a natural anti-ageing treatment. I have always been fascinated by alternative therapies and, when a friend recommended I try facial acupuncture, I was amazed by the results.
After a course of treatment, I noticed my face looked more youthful and I also felt more energised. I loved it so much, I couldn’t stop talking about it to everyone! Friends and family suggested I should retrain and pursue a career in my new-found interest.
So I researched and trained in facial acupuncture with John Tindall at the Yuan Clinic and Traditional Medicine College. John’s knowledge and training inspired me so much that I continued to study microsystems acupuncture with him and I haven’t looked back since.
My passion for acupuncture and ancient practices led me to study and gain further certification with Amanda Shayle of AcuRegen. Amanda’s treatments are widely recognised in the beauty industry and her amazing acupuncture protocols and techniques have found their way into Harvey Nichols and onto many celebrity faces.
I have learnt that facial cosmetic acupuncture is so much more than just an anti-ageing treatment – it is a healing journey. I like to think of it in these terms: if a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
With this in mind, I continued to develop my love for alternative therapies and studied Gua Sha Facial Fusion and Thai Herbal Poultice massage with Cecily Braden, the founder of Beauty Secrets US and one of the top facial trainers in America. Cecily’s course complimented my facial acupuncture treatments perfectly. It is a facial rejuvenation therapy, based on the traditions of East Asia and Chinese medicine, which looks at the body as a whole, stimulating and channelling the body’s healing energy to revitalise the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.
More recently I have expanded my treatments to offer Body Contouring. I trained with the amazing Soph London Beauty. Sophie is renowned for her expertise in lymphatic health and body contouring. Sophie has worked with celebrities like Zoe Ball and Suranne Jones, so I knew her techniques would be game-changing for my clients!
I was eager to help women experiencing symptoms such as bloating, swelling, water retention, poor circulation, and cellulite. By offering lymphatic massage and body contouring, I can address these concerns and provide amazing benefits, including enhanced detoxification, improved circulation, reduced fluid retention, and a smoother, more sculpted silhouette.
Now, I'm thrilled to provide holistic treatments that cater to both beauty and wellness needs. By infusing my signature Reiki healing into the massage and acupuncture techniques, I create a truly unique experience that addresses physical and spiritual well-being.
It's been a joy working on the body and incorporating my love for Reiki into these treatments. I can't wait for you to try these transformative therapies and feel the benefits for yourself!
