About Me

Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how much the quality of acupuncture depends on sensitivity and skill as much as on knowledge. I continue to study with experienced teachers to refine my technique and broaden my understanding of the medicine. My further training includes musculoskeletal and pain management, auricular acupuncture, fertility, and menopause care. I am also studying Tui Na, Chinese medical massage, to integrate manual therapy into my treatments.

My path has taken me from London clinics to volunteering with the Ukrainian Support Project, offering trauma acupuncture to refugees. After two years of practice in a well-being centre in Lisbon, I am now based in London Fields, Hackney, where I continue to support patients through acupuncture and traditional techniques.

I am a French acupuncturist trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, holding a three-year Licentiate in Acupuncture from the City College of Acupuncture in London, a rigorous, degree-level programme that combines classical Chinese theory with modern biomedical science. I am a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC), committed to ongoing learning and the highest standards of professional care.

My acupuncture practice is grounded in the belief that health is most sustainable when approached as a whole. The physical, emotional and mental are deeply connected, and lasting change comes when all three are cared for together. I take time to listen and to understand what is happening in your body and your life, so that each treatment can support you where you are and help you move towards balance and well-being.

I see healing as a shared process. The patient is always at the centre of their own journey, and my role is to support, guide and encourage. Treatments are thoughtful and collaborative, designed not only to relieve symptoms but also to build awareness and resilience over time.
