I have mental nursing experience from working in psychiatric units in the early 1970’s, and holds additional certificates in Counseling and lifespan development.Nervous client's with needle phobia often comment that they feel very relaxed during treatment aided by a pleasant informal environment.

Fertility Problems
I have many years experience treating fertility problems with acupuncture, treating client's both pre-conceptually and throughout pregnancy. Many couples choose to support their IVF treatment with Acupuncture which can vary according to the stages of clinical treatment.

Pregnancy
Pregnancy can be a time when the body undergoes many changes to hormones that may produce symptoms previously unknown. Many women would rather avoid taking drugs particularly during the first trimester, my background includes several years nursing in midwifery and gynaecology, and treats symptoms of pregnancy throughout the entire pregnancy with Acupuncture.
