The Renaissance Holistic Therapy Centre 0121 428 1449

I originally trained as a teacher but have always been fascinated by all things oriental. As a result of this interest I decided to train in Chinese Medicine.  I completed a 3 year degree course at the College of Traditional Acupuncture near Warwick. I also have a Diploma in Shiatsu, having trained with the European School of Shiatsu for 3 years. I am also a qualified Shonishin practitioner. Shonishin is a non-invasive form of acupuncture massage developed specifically for babies and children (no needles.)

I have a holistic approach to health and well being, with a special interest in women's health, including fertility and pregnancy and the menopause. I am a member of the Zita West National Network of Affiliated Acupuncturists. I also proved treatment to a broad spectrum of people, from children to the elderly. I have donated my time and skills as a therapist to an holistic mental health group and a disabled and carers group. I am currently working at a local hospice.

I feel it is important to keep my skills up to date and attend post-graduate courses regularly. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and the Shiatsu Society and am bound by their codes of Professionalism and Ethics.
