My ethos of treatment is a very simple one:

"You, the client are the epicentre of treatment".

My aim always is to help you restore your health to the best it can be and this means being focused upon what you need and require each time you come for a treatment rather than making an assumption that I know what is best, or that your needs will be the same at each treatment. It is about an equal relationship based on good rapport, honesty, openness and clarity. It is therefore important that you feel comfortable working with me as your practitioner. To ensure that you gain the most from treatment I use my skills both as an acupuncturist as well as calling upon my previous 17 years experience working within a health care setting.

As a practitioner I am not here to make any judgments about you. I work only to assist you in determining what is causing the imbalance within you and to use my skill and knowledge in treatment to help re-establish your health and sense of well-being. I work with you and the place that you are in at any given time and at a pace that you are comfortable with, adapting my treatments accordingly. The way I conduct my consultation and treatment, enables me to see you as a unique individual with your own personal and specific needs and not a collection of symptoms.

To this end my treatment for you is about being aware of your expectations, how you determine improvements and ways of measuring this. It is about my working with you and alongside any other therapy you may be receiving or, encouraging you to consider other potential therapies if they may also be of benefit to you and your specific health needs.
