Welcome to my website

I have been using acupuncture in my midwifery practice since 2004 for pregnancy complaints.  I was so impressed with the results I went on to complete my B H Sc Acupuncture in 2009 at  NZ School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (NZSZTCM).  During this time I was exposed to and gained clinical experience in understanding and treating a wide variety of complaints within this framework.  I was also involved in the setting up and running of the successful pregnancy acupuncture clinic at Hutt Hospital, which is a joint venture between the Hospital and NZSATCM.  This will have been running three years by May 2011. I am now the Supervisor of this clinic and will this year attend twice a week, assisting senior students of the school gain valuable clinical experience in this area.

I have continued to practice midwifery on a regular basis both in independent and hospital roles, but from 2011 will spend more time in my acupuncture clinic.
