My Story

I spent over twenty years working as a medical doctor specialising in anaesthetics and pain management. As a consultant anaesthetist, my role was to keep patients safe, comfortable and pain-free — work that gave me a deep understanding of how the body processes and responds to pain.

Alongside my medical career I have always had a strong interest in holistic health. I am a trained yoga teacher and a long-time practitioner and I've seen first-hand how much the body benefits when you treat it as a whole rather than a set of separate problems.

Acupuncture was where these two paths came together. I trained with the British Medical Acupuncture Society and found that everything I knew about anatomy, nerve pathways and pain management connected naturally with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I set up Rosetta Acupuncture Clinic to offer something which I wasn't able to do in a hospital setting — giving adequate time to each patient, providing a calm environment and delivering a treatment approach that draws on both my medical expertise and the traditions of acupuncture.

 

I've also trained in Facial Enhancement Acupuncture for anyone looking for a natural, evidence-informed approach to skin health and ageing well.
