MY STORY

​​"It all started in a hairdresser's chair..."

As a woman in my forties, I was training in Traditional Chinese Medicine when, one day, I caught sight of myself in the mirror at the hairdresser's.

Like so many women, I found myself studying my reflection.

I wasn't looking for perfection. I simply wanted to look healthier, brighter and more like myself.

I remember thinking:

"How can I adapt what I'm learning to improve how I look and feel?"

At the time, cosmetic acupuncture was almost unheard of, and conversations about beauty, skin and healthy ageing often seemed to fall outside the focus of traditional acupuncture training. I instinctively felt there was an important connection that hadn't yet been explored.

Then life made that question even more personal.

When my young son developed a severe inflammatory skin condition requiring treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital, I became fascinated by the relationship between inflammation, skin health and the body's extraordinary capacity to heal.

Those experiences set me on a journey that would take me beyond traditional acupuncture into neuroscience, fascia research, regenerative medicine and over two decades of clinical practice, innovation and international teaching.

​Today, that same question still guides everything I do.
Not "How can we fight ageing?"

But rather,

​"How can we help people look and feel healthier by supporting the body's remarkable ability to heal, adapt and regenerate?"
