Why Kate?
My goal is to provide a warm, open and relaxing space for my patients through all their health challenges, addressing the physical symptoms whilst giving them the space to discuss their health and the emotions associated at length. I see it as a complete privilege to support patients throughout their lives.
I have a specific interest in treating Women’s health, supporting women through menstruation issues, PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, pregnancy and post-partum , peri menopause and menopause and much more.
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can decide if the I am the right practitioner for you.
I run a referral scheme. If you are recommended by a current patient then both you and they will receive £5 of your next full price treatment *
I am a member of the Association Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC). This means I completed a 3.5 year degree course equivalent to 3,600 hours of training. I follow the AAC codes of safe practice, current health and safety legislation and complete annual continuing professional development hours to keep knowledge and skills up to date.

Chinese Medicine Pillars of Health
I incorporate the pillars of Chinese Medicine into all my treatment strategies. To maximise the effectiveness of your treatment you may be given some lifestyle advice relating to the following areas to implement outside of the clinic.
-
ACUPUNCTURE
That’s my part! But it doesn’t just finish in the treatment room. I will also prescribe acupressure points that I you can use to manage your condition at home
-
MOVEMENT
Traditionally this would have been a qi gong, tai chi or a martial art, however other gentle forms of movement and stretching such as yoga maybe recommended. These types of energy work incorporate breath work, movement and stillness and are particularly beneficial for good health.
-
DIETARY THERAPY
Chinese dietary therapy is not about eating “healthily” but rather about eating the right foods for you, for your current state of health. Advice may cover what time you eat, the type of food you eat or even the temperature of the food you eat.

HERBAL MEDICINE
Chinese herbs are a core part of Traditional Chinese medicine, although I am not a trained herbalist I have a great herbalist I work with that I recommend to those patients that I feel would really benefit from it.
