In ancient China, medical therapy was often classified into "external" and "internal" treatments. Tui na was one of the external methods, especially suitable for use on the elderly population and on infants.

Today it is subdivided into specialized treatment for infants, adults, orthopedics, traumatology, cosmetology, rehabilitation, sports medicine, etc. Tui na has been used extensively in China for over 2,000 years.

Tui na has fewer side effects than modern drug-based and chemical-based treatments. It has been used to treat or complement the treatment of many conditions; musculo-skeletal disorders and chronic stress-related disorders of the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems.

Between 1988 and 1993 I studied Reflexology, Tui Na, Shiatsu and Massage. In 1993 I started an Acupuncture course with the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine and graduated in 1996, gaining the qualification, Licentiate in Acupuncture (LIC Ac.), and became a member of the Acupuncture Council at that time.

I have taken postgraduate courses in Patent Herbal Medicine (ready made pills not raw herbs); Advanced Needle Techniques; Point Location; treating infertility and I.V.F. Musculo Skeletal Problems; Tui Na massage; treatment of sports injuries and I am a practical skills tutor at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine.

I use all of my disciplines in my practice, to get the best results for my patients. I treat a wide range of conditions, from stress, to back pain, from depression to M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and asthma. From frozen shoulder and tennis elbow to the Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation Protocol.
