About me
I trained as a classical harpist both in Colombia and England, and was involved with music for over 15 years.
In 1998, I started to explore touch and other healing techniques to overcome illness. My search for self-healing
led me to try different disciplines which not only helped me restore my health but made me passionate
about sharing what I had learned with others.
I
now practise traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture and I am also qualified in Therapeutic Massage
and Reiki Healing. Since 2000, I have worked as a therapist with victims of domestic violence, terminally ill patients, cancer
patients, and with people trying to overcome addictions as well as treating a variety of common ailments in clinics
in Bristol and London. I have done additional training in ear acupuncture, which is an essential tool during the drug, alcohol
and tobacco detoxification process; and also hold a certificate in working with people with cancer from the Bristol Cancer
Help Centre. I have just been awarded an MSc with merit by the University of East London for a research
project using Chinese herbal medicine for the treatment of M.E.
How I work
Having suffered from ill health myself over a number of years, I empathise with every single
person I treat. I will listen compassionately and combine my knowledge and experience with my intuition to develop
the best treatment plan for each person. I tend to use all the skills I consider necessary to achieve the best results.
You may have an acupuncture treatment that also involves Reiki or massage; or both, or you may be offered herbs if your condition
is chronic or deep-seated. I also consider diet, relaxation and emotional balance integral parts of the healing process
and always include them in the treatment plan. In my view, illness can become a unique opportunity for learning and growth,
in which treatment can be the catalyst for true life changes and healing.
I am a member of the Association
of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ATCM), the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM) and the Complementary Therapists
Association (CThA). I have worked in the community giving massage and acupuncture at women’s refuges in London and Bristol;
and at St Peter’s Hospice and the CAAAD project for alcohol and drug detoxification in Bristol. I have also
worked at private clinics in both London and Bristol.
