Acupuncture treats most problems that a person encounters, the most common being stress, pain of all types, insomnia, period and fertility difficulties.  I have a particular interest in treating emotional disharmonies in people as I believe that is what calls for the most care and attention. Support at difficult times and indeed in everyday life can make all the difference and acupuncture can offer that.

If your problem is not mentioned below, please feel free to discuss it with me. I offer a free, 30-minute consultation on the phone or in-person where you can ask any questions you want.
