25 years

I’m not one for stopping and reflecting (always planning and looking forward) but I’ll make an exception today. 17th July 2025 marks 25 years of practicing acupuncture.
I graduated on Saturday 15th July 2000, after a challenging and rigorous 4 years of training. I already had patients lined up for the Monday morning of the 17th, this meant I had to drive my college certificate to the BAcC headquarters in west London on the Sunday, post a copy through their letter box asking for membership and insurance to start the following morning (nothing like being keen to get going!).
It has been an amazing career and journey which has taught me so much about people, life and most importantly myself. I had no idea when I started that I would end up as a Joint-Principal at the college in which I trained, or that I would be taken down the road of academia, doing a PGCE at the University of Brighton, and becoming External Examiner for the University of Kingston. Other interesting projects included working with the Department of Health on a pilot using acupuncture for ‘Personal Health Budgets’ and speaking in the House of Commons regarding this. Appearing on BBC radio as a spokesperson was another new experience.

I will raise a glass this evening to all the patients I have seen over the years. I can honestly say the thrill of watching people get better has never diminished in 25 years. On with the journey!

Beautiful time of year to get out and about with long walks taking in the stunning colours of autumn. Good for mental health as well as physical well being.
If you feel like you need a boost in energy for your immune system before we head into the long winter nights get in touch.

So I’ve had two patients burst into tears this week, I’m pretty sure it’s nothing I said, and I’m also pretty sure it’s down to the season. In Chinese philosophy seasons associate to certain emotions and Autumn is all about sadness, grief and letting go. These two patients both had major losses which we touched upon during their consultation, neither of them particularly recent. They both apologised for the tears (as we Brits tend to do) until I explained that it was a good and natural release. Holding on to emotions be it grief, anger or worry can eventually cause physical pathology. So the message if it rises to the surface let it flow and let it go. Acupuncture certainly helps with that process.

Lovely message:

‘I just wanted to say thank you so much for the Acupuncture sessions. I feel that combining your treatments with my trauma counselling was an excellent decision! The anxiety and PTSD symptoms I was having have reduced significantly and I found it really helped to calm my thoughts especially when I arrived feeling overwhelmed. I’m definitely back in control and more like me again! I am so grateful and intend to top up regularly to keep everything in balance!

🙏🏼👍🏼
