I have chosen as my
logo the Chinese character "Jin", meaning
"Gold", i.e. the highest quality, the highest standard of
treatment and care, "the gold standard". No two people
coming to me get the same treatment, because we each have our own
unique way of maintaining health, and of falling ill or sustaining
injury. This is what I address.
There are two main schools of traditional
acupuncture in the U.K., "Five Element" and "Eight
Principle", which can be thought of as the Heart and the
Intellect of the tradition. I am fully qualified in both
these schools, and so am able to offer an all embracing
approach.
In addition, through my participation in
seminars, I am continuously developing my understanding of the
fundamentals. This is a life-long journey which I approach with the
same enthusiasm as inspired me to begin my training twenty-five
years ago.
The great strength of traditional acupuncture
is its diagnostic system: a radically different way of looking at
the human being in health and sickness, compared with Western
medicine.
In any physical examination, we use a very
finely trained sense of touch, and, in getting through to the
underlying cause of the illness we use a number of subtle clues
which Western medicine either does not acknowledge or has no
framework for.
