Hello!
My name is Sal. I began studying Chinese Medicine over 20 years ago, beginning with Qigong (Chinese Medicine exercise) in 2004. In 2008 I started a degree in acupuncture at the University of Lincoln and graduated in 2011 with a BSc 1st Class Honours. My training was in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Five Elements, and along with the Qigong studies, this has given me a thorough foundation in acupuncture. My practice of acupuncture is thanks to the many great teachers I have had, including world renowned experts in their field.
I am a licensed acupuncturist and an insured member of The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), and adhere to its professional standards and safe practice. I continue to develop my acupuncture knowledge attending post graduate training courses. I am certified in Qigong and practice every day, and have a regular meditation practice.
Acupuncture can help the whole body and most conditions, internal and external. In your initial consultation we will discuss your condition, look at your medical history, and have an acupuncture treatment tailored to your specific needs. Subsequent appointments are in a multi-bed setting, similar to a hospital ward environment, where you have your own private cubicle and other patients are in the room. This allows for the most cost effective way of treatment and is very popular.
The body always moves towards balance if it can, one of my teacher’s explained, and in my clinical experience I have found this to be so true. One of the main aims of the practitioner is to help remove the obstacles, thereby allowing the body to help itself. I love practicing acupuncture, it is a great joy to see so much benefit come from just a few needles.
