Towngate Clinic 

​

I am still following safe practice measures set by the British Acupuncture Council including stringent sanitising of therapy rooms and the use of PPE

​

 I am classed as a primary healthcare practitioner regulated by law.

As a practitioner I received both Covid-19 vaccinations and also the booster vaccines

My Background

In 1979 I began work as a massage therapist for an acupuncturist in Preston. Having gained experience working in this busy clinic for 4 years I then opened my own practice offering massage and healing

​

In 1988 I opened the Towngate Therapy Clinic in Leyland where I continue to work alongside therapists in other disciplines

Inspired by working in the Preston clinic I enrolled on the acupuncture training programme at the Northern College of Acupuncture in York graduating in 1991

This enabled me to offer acupuncture alongside massage and treat more complex external and internal conditions 

 

The skills of acupuncture, massage, healing and breath work together to nurture the natural healing ability of the patient.

The treatment is given in warm, comfortable, surroundings where the patient can relax with confidentiality assured

 

Over the years I have taught acupressure/massage on adult education courses and to acupuncture students at both the Northern College of Acupuncture in York and Salford University (TCM degree course)

​

Sharing relaxation, mindful breath work, meditation and Qigong/Tai Chi is an important part of my work. From women recovering from breast cancer in Chorley hospital, and clients attending the 'Gentle Approach to Cancer' programme to patients rehabilitating at 'Heartbeat' in Preston

 

Qigong and Tai Chi Classes 

I run weekly classes, workshops and retreats in Tai Chi, relaxation and meditation

I love to share this beautiful, mindful practice
