Like so many people, I discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture while trying to improve my overall health and wellness. The holistic approach and the precision with which the needles were placed to activate the body’s natural healing processes resonated with me and ultimately served as a turning point in my life. The focus of my work has always been supporting people in meaningful ways. For 20 years, I served as a Detective Inspector in the police force, primarily within Child Protection, but after the birth of my daughter, the time felt right for a change. I embarked on a Degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and after qualifying, I established myself as an acupuncturist in Bournemouth, Dorset. Today, I specialise in women’s health and fertility, supporting girls and women from their teenage years through to menopause and beyond. From painful, heavy or irregular periods at any stage of life, to navigating secondary infertility, to managing the hormonal shifts of perimenopause, my work centres on helping women feel steady, informed and supported in their own bodies again. Fertility is an important part of my practice, and I work with women who are trying to conceive naturally as well as those preparing for or undergoing IVF. I also support male partners where appropriate, particularly around sperm health and stress, because reproductive health is never one person’s responsibility alone. My approach blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern diagnostic insight so that treatment feels intelligent, grounded and aligned with your medical care rather than separate from it. Alongside fertility support, I treat a wide range of women’s health concerns including PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, low progesterone, sleep disruption, anxiety, fatigue and the unpredictable changes that can come with perimenopause and menopause. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, looking at the full picture rather than isolated symptoms, so that we address root causes and build sustainable improvements in wellbeing. My clinic provides a calm, private space where you are listened to properly. Every client receives a thorough consultation and a personalised treatment plan designed to restore balance in a way that feels realistic, evidence-informed and supportive of your life as it is now.
