Bio
Although the heart of my practice is digestive and respiratory problems, I successfully treat a wide range of conditions, from musculoskeletal dysfunction, chronic pain and gynecological disorders, to insomnia and depression. The treatments encompass nutrition, herbs, acupuncture, movement therapy, massage, moxibustion and lifestyle counseling. My passion for health, medicine and nutrition led me to acquire, in a short period of time, a lot of knowledge from different sources and standpoints. I currently run my own clinic "MONON Wellness" in North London, work at "Nicola Court: Path to Wellbeing" in Harlow, and I volunteer as acupuncturist for "The Disability Foundation" (TDF) based at the 'Royal National Orthopedic Hospital': a charity that provides complementary therapy services to disabled people and anyone suffering from a chronic health issue or medical condition.

Bio
I've been using my empathic & intuitive skills to help others for as long as I can remember & was particularly drawn to Traditional Chinese Medicine when I experienced for myself how acupuncture treatment can dramatically improve health & well-being. I studied to become a practitioner, completed further studies in Chinese Herbal Medicine & now offer the benefits of acupuncture & herbal medicine together or as separate treatments, to help people with wide ranging health issues. In addition to my private practice, I recently provided clinical supervision alongside my former tutors for acupuncture students in Lincoln. Having started my working life in the research oriented world of Libraries & Information, I view my practice as a near perfect balance of intuitive flow with an eye for the finer details. I am Mum to 3 grown-up children and live with my husband in Lincoln. We share our home with my beautiful familiar, Darcy Cat, & our super-bouncy rescue springer spaniel, Lilly.
