‘People always ask me does it work? Well it did for me! I discovered Acupuncture in my mid 30’s because of an auto-immune arthritic illness. I was facing a future of worsening pain & limited mobility when acupuncture helped me, over time, reduce my symptoms dramatically. I’m in good health nowadays and I enjoy teaching people the simple but very effective tools Chinese Medicine gives us to look after our bodies and minds.’ (Barb)

Barb has also been training in Qi Gong and Tai Qi for the past 15 years with Raymond Towers of the Spirit Warrior Foundation. Both Qi Gong and Tai Qi are aspects of Chinese Medicine which complement Acupuncture perfectly as they provide simple exercises for the body & mind to help us restore energy and maintain health.

‘Thank you so very much Barb for teaching me Qi Gong; for imparting your knowledge and for your patience… we have learnt so much from you about Qi Gong and all those other issues which have arisen concerning our health and wellbeing.’ (Mel)

‘Thank you so much for all your help and kindness to me – in putting me back on track when I came to you in such a state! I have really enjoyed my relaxing (Acupuncture) sessions with you.’ (Jill)
