About me
I am mother of three living in Brooklyn. Originally from England, with some French and German thrown in there. After studying Creative Writing at University, I felt like my body had been left behind. And so began my exploration of body, mind and spirit through the lens of Chinese Medicine. Several decades later and I am still inspired by how we all navigate life through our bodies. I am blown away by all the wonderful and heartbreaking coping mechanisms we establish to help us get by. Developing presence and being fully embodied in my life is what I wish to share with my clients.
I am New York State Licensed Acupuncturist, having earned a Masters of Science degree at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine after five years of intensive training involving more 3600 hours of education and 900 hours of clinical experience. I hold an undergraduate degree from Goldsmiths College, London, where I studied Creative Writing and English Lit. In addition to being a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.), I am board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in Acupuncture; and a member of the Acupuncture Society of New York (ASNY).
Leaning on my meditation and movement practice, my training in Somatic bodywork, my Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as the importance of a creative practice, I developed my own process of becoming more aware and present in the day-to-day experience. This is what I offer my clients now, a way into themselves via their bodies, speaking to desires and needs which previously were left unmet.
