Bio

I founded the Panda Clinic in Oxford in 2013. It was the first acupuncture clinic solely for the treatment of babies, children and teenagers in the UK. Today, the Panda Clinic is still thriving and growing. In my clinical work, I have seen time and again how acupuncture early in life can change the course of a child's health. I treat children of all ages for a wide range of conditions. Whenever possible, I teach parents Chinese medical massage techniques they can use on their children in between treatments. This means the child heals more quickly and needs fewer sessions. As well as my clinical work, I am the author of a paediatric acupuncture textbook which is used in colleges all over the world (Acupuncture for Babies, Children and Teenagers - treating both the illness and the child). I am also the author of a book for parents and practitioners called Chinese Medicine for Childhood Anxiety and Depression. I teach paediatric acupuncture to practitioners in the UK and internationally. I am the founder of the Hub Of Paediatric Acupuncture (HOPA). My vision is that HOPA will support more practitioners to treat children and that, in turn, more children will receive the many benefits of acupuncture.
