I've been seeing patients in Edinburgh since I moved back here in 1982, and before that in London, where I had a big practice.

People often come because they want help beyond what their doctor can provide. Most people come because a friend recommended me.

I use my skills based on acupuncture, but many people are treated with homoeopathy. Nutrition can be important as well as hands on treatments like Bowen therapy.

Over the years I've trained in and then practised a huge range of therapies like shiatsu, reflexology, Chinese herbal medicine, kinesiology and so on. They all add to my experience in treating people.

I've taught students for over 25 years and worked with Edinburgh University Faculty of Medicine to show their students what 'alternative' medicine can do. (As a result, many of them said they wanted to train in it themselves after they'd completed their formal training! )

Currently I'm chair of the Scottish Association of Professional Homoeopaths and Regional Coordinator for the British Acupuncture Council.
