The focus I learned from Qi gong has influenced the development of my skills as a practitioner, but observation, stillness, meditative practice and contemplation have always been with me.
Beyond the holistic principles and practice of acupuncture I am interested in the collaborative aspect of the client/practitioner relationship and mindful practice/Qi Gong.
I use various techniques: Classical Chinese, Western, Dr Tan, Yuan, facial, ear etc along with TuiNa massage, moxibustion, cupping and electro acupuncture.
Each patient is approached as an individual and having a board repertoire of approaches helps tailor my treatments.
I see my work with patients as a collaboration, a journey toward helping their systems rebalance so as to alleviate or remove the problem. The needles can be a catalyst to the bodies' systems to kick-start this process which may, along the way, include some lifestyle alterations too.
I believe acupuncture is a great way to complement Western medicine it is not an alternative.
Increasing the understanding and integration of acupuncture within Western medicine is one of my aims and is partly behind my decision to provide acupuncture within the hospice system.
