Having first received acupuncture in the early 90\u2019s, I\u2019ve has always considered Eastern Medicine, and complementary therapies, a first port of call for most ailments. I have seen first-hand (both in my own family, and with clients) how Eastern Medicine can help alleviate symptoms & provide relief to those who fail to find solutions elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an I.T. worker in the city, I suffered from occasional bouts of back & shoulder problems \u2013 as many office workers do. I became a regular client of the clinic at the Academy of Oriental Medicine, and it was here that my passion to learn more about this discipline began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studying part-time, I completed a Diploma in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine in 2013. In this same year I worked at the Academy as an assistant & provided holiday cover at the clinic. Since then, I have practised privately, and at Blisski Clinic in Charlton. In 2022, I completed further qualifications in Chinese Herbal Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a registered acupuncturist, co-founder & board member of the Tibetan and Eastern Medicine Association<\/a> (TEMA), UK, and a registrant of the British Acupuncture Federation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of my diploma, I visited Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals in Beijing, China. And as part of my continuing studies, I travel regularly to India to further study acupuncture & Tibetan medicine under Dr. Passang Thopchen<\/a> at his clinic<\/a> in Pune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eastern medicine can be used to treat an extensive range of ailments, both structural and internal, and each treatment is tailored to the individual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
