I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine after a long period of interest in nutrition
and eastern philosophy, qualifying in 1996.
My teacher, Dr John Heptonstall, at the Morley
Clinic of Acupuncture near Leeds, is a well
known and respected teacher both in England
and Hong Kong.
I discovered NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques)
whilst on holiday in Los Angeles 15 years
ago and read Dr Devi Nambudripad's first
edition of her book "Say Good-bye to Illness."
She tells us of how difficult her life was
growing up with multiple allergies, so that
for years all she could eat was broccoli
and rice. In her pursuit of healing herself,
she studied Chinese Medicine and became an
acupuncturist.
Her remarkable discovery of how the brain
can be reprogrammed to recognize an allergen
as beneficial and no longer a threat to the
body, came by accident one day when she suffered
an anaphylactic shock from something she
had eaten. Before she passed out she had
quickly inserted some acupuncture needles
to revive her and when she came round she
found she was no longer allergic to that
substance. From that day forward she studied
and experimented with muscle response testing
(kinesiology) to find out how this had happened.
Now after twenty years the protocol for testing
and treating allergies has been advanced
and refined so that many substances can be
treated, including emotions. Her remarkable
story inspired me to become an acupuncture
practitioner so that I would be able in time
to practice her NAET technique here in the UK.
NAET Practitioner Seminars are now taught
in Europe. You can find out more by reading
"Say Good-bye to Illness" by Dr Devi Nambudripad
or by accessing www.naet.co.uk or www.naet.com
I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques)
from my clinic in Totley, Sheffield, South
Yorkshire.
A further important part of my practice is
nutrition, yoga and lifestyle coaching. I
have studied nutrition and yoga since my
twenties and practice what I preach. You
too can look younger and have more energy
with Cosmetic Acupuncture which can give you a more youthful appearance
and a face-lift without surgery.
For people who work in offices, or who spend
a long time on their feet or sitting at a
desk, I bring my massage chair to you on
site for a wonderful Japanese acupressure massage. You can find out more from the Academy
of On Site Massage by accessing www.aosm.co.uk
If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired all
the time, and stressed by your work then
you may benefit from work related stress treatment. This is more than a counselling
treatment and uses Traditional Chinese Medicine
to help you regain control of your life and
put you back on track.

Freedom from pain, illness and allergies
can lead to a long and healthy life. I am
