I am an experienced Five Element Acupuncturist, and practitioner of ancient Tuina Massage Technique. I also offer Nutritional Advice, based on traditional indigenous diets, helping clients transform their health with simple tools.

I enjoy running, music, and a good book! I have two grown boys who inspire me all the time!

Ancient Tuina Massage:
Archaeologists have found evidence that the massage technique of Tuina was used in 2700 BC, making it possibly the oldest form of massage in the world. Tuina is Chinese Medical Massage for chronic illness and musculoskeletal problems, treating common complaints like high blood pressure, asthma, and digestive problems, by resolving stagnation and nourishing qi.

Tuina can be strong deep tissue massage, or gentle energy work, depending on the client’s need. Specific parts of the body are targeted to restore balance. It employs a variety of techniques – kneading, stretching, pressing, rolling – to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians, using myofascial release, reflexology, and acupressure.

Indigenous Tribal Nutrition:
I offer tailor-made nutritional advice based on traditional indigenous diets. Tribal groups who maintain their traditional diets do not suffer from any of the common diseases of western civilisation. I use the principals of indigenous diets to restore the gut biome, reduce inflammation, and heal and seal the gut lining.

I can advise which foods to eat and avoid, and suggest optimal cooking methods to extract nourishment and enhance digestibility. Many people are unaware that the bacteria in our gut produce vitamins and hormones, and also manufacture neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine that are responsible for making us feel happy and motivated! I can teach you how to support the gut biome with fermented foods, whilst removing toxins stored in your body with gentle and safe techniques.

Immunity to disease is largely dependant on the condition of the gut biome, which in modern people is deteriorating with every generation. This is resulting in unprecedented levels of chronic illness, depression, and autism spectrum disorder (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD) which now affects young people in astonishing numbers. By changing the way we eat, we can cure most health problems, transforming our health with the simplest tools.
