Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in Cumbernauld
With 15 years of experience as a registered nurse in the NHS, I transitioned to specialize in acupuncture after completing a first-class Honours Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture at Salford University. My dual expertise in Western and Chinese medicine allows me to offer a holistic approach to patient care. I have worked extensively in both systems of diagnosis and treatment, including a formative period at the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where I observed acupuncture's integration with Western medicine across specialties like cardiology and pediatrics. My practice focuses on treating a wide range of conditions, with particular expertise in women's health issues such as fertility treatment, IVF support, menopause symptoms, endometriosis, and PMT.As a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), I adhere to rigorous standards of education, ethics, and practice. I hold a license to practice acupuncture from North Lanarkshire Council and maintain full professional indemnity insurance. My clinic in Cumbernauld provides personalized, compassionate care aimed at improving overall well-being rather than merely addressing isolated symptoms. I am committed to ensuring every patient receives treatment with kindness and professionalism to support their recovery journey.
