Experience

Training

Emma is constantly refining and updating both her practical skills and theoretical knowledge through Continuing Professional Development. Having completed a thorough three year training in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western Medical Sciences at the University of Westminster, she recently participated successfully in the International TCM training program of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at the Chengdu University teaching hospital in Southwest China. Under this program, Emma completed a total of 170 hours of post-graduate clinical training and lectures under the supervision of licensed TCM doctors. In her work, Emma uses oriental diagnosis to pinpoint energetic imbalances, which allows her to select the most appropriate therapy to treat a wide range of ailments, together with minor conditions where no clearly defined disease exists. In this way, Emma is able to offer a dynamic blend of Eastern and Western therapeutic approaches.

The Benefits

Emma’s training has provided her with a thorough practical foundation and a direct, intuitive means of understanding the body, mind and spirit, together with the effect that complementary therapies have on them. Many of the therapies in which Emma specializes, are preventative rather than curative and, over a period of time, a substantial improvement can be experienced in a person’s overall sense of well-being on a physical, mental and emotional level.
