Areas of focus
Cancer survivors’ issues and needs differ at different stages of the pathway; resilience is needed at all stages. Acupuncture has the potential to support and develop resilience, as well as manage physical and emotional symptoms.

Life during and after treatment
Life during and after cancer treatment is a delicate journey of recovery, where physical fatigue, emotional vulnerability, and lingering side effects are often deeply intertwined. Instead of merely managing isolated symptoms, my care begins with a deep understanding of your altered constitution and unique post-treatment patterns.
Through gentle acupuncture, focused acupressure, and integrative East Asian medicine, I tailor each session to alleviate treatment-induced discomforts—such as neuropathy, fatigue, and pain—while nurturing your body’s innate resilience for long-term healing and true wellness.
Areas of support
I offer evidence-based acupuncture as a safe supportive care to alleviate the side effects of conventional cancer treatments. My focus is on strengthening your body’s inherent vitality, helping you tolerate active oncological therapies better and rebuild your health during survivorship.
Acupuncture is clinically recognised to reduce cancer-related pain and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. By improving local circulation and naturally blocking pain signaling, I provide an effective, non-pharmacological approach to complement your standard pain management.
Cancer-related fatigue often does not improve with simple rest, as it stems from a deep depletion of the body's internal energy. I use targeted acupuncture to gently restore your stamina and reduce systemic exhaustion.
Sleep disturbances are common during cancer recovery due to physical stress and anxiety. By harmonising the body's Yin and Yang and calming the nervous system, acupuncture helps restore a natural, restorative sleep pattern without adding a drug burden.
A cancer journey brings profound emotional and psychological challenges. I utilise constitutional acupuncture to soothe constrained Liver Qi, helping to ease anxiety and depression while fostering emotional resilience.
Cancer treatments can sometimes aggravate preexisting health issues or trigger new systemic imbalances. My approach looks at the body as a whole, using acupuncture to restore holistic homeostasis so your body can manage these coexisting conditions alongside your primary oncology care.
Treatment approach
I use acupuncture to support balance, circulation, and nervous system regulation. Every treatment is tailored to your unique needs and adapted as your health journey evolves.
Herbal medicine allows me to provide personalised support beyond the treatment room. Each prescription is carefully selected according to your constitution, symptoms, and treatment goals.
When appropriate, I incorporate therapies such as moxibustion and infrared heat therapy to promote warmth, comfort, and restoration, complementing your overall treatment plan.
Every person's story, constitution, and experience of health is unique. Together, we take the time to understand what your body may be communicating and how best to support it.
