Following a career in teaching spanning 20 years, I decided to train as an acupuncturist after having received treatment myself for a chronic condition.
In 2013 I qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture from the Northern College of Acupuncture in York. I am a professional acupuncturist and a member of the British Acupuncture Council, therefore I take part in regular continued professional development. This has enabled me to develop additional skills in both acupuncture and related adjunctive therapies. One of the things I find most inspiring about Chinese Medicine is that it is such a vast, complex subject, there is always more to be learned. To help me on this journey, I have undertaken training with internationally renowned specialists including Scalp Acupuncture with Dr Tianjun Wang, 'Battlefield' Auricular Acupuncture with John Howard, and Applied Channel Theory with Dr Jason Robertson and Jamie Hamilton. I have a particular interest in Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis, which I teach at the Northern College of Acupuncture in York. I have also completed a VTCT accredited diploma in Reflexology and am a member of the Association of Reflexologists. My areas of special interest are pain management and supporting patients with chronic degenerative conditions, but I am happy to treat you whatever it is you are looking for help with. |
What clients say...
Transformative
"I came to Jill after suffering badly with long covid. I was in a VERY bad way and unable to function both physically and mentally. Jill is extremely knowledgeable .... It was refreshing to be listened to and taken seriously. Thanks to Jill's help I've gone from barely being able to leave the house to being back at work part time and enjoying more time with my family and playing golf. To say it's been a transformative experience would be a huge understatement." AH
Sleeping better
"I noticed an improvement after my first treatment with Jill. I am now sleeping better and feel calmer. She takes the time to listen carefully, is always calm and talks me through my treatment. I will and have recommended Jill to family and friends”. GM
A skilled listener
"I have a long term condition which benefits from the support of acupuncture treatment by increasing my energy levels and improving my digestion. Jill is skilled at listening and observing so that I gain maximum benefit from each treatment.” CC
Walking again
"I felt an improvement after the second treatment with Jill. It's great that I can now walk again with no pain. I would definitely recommend acupuncture with Jill." TG
Calming
"Jill is wonderfull at making me feel at ease with the acupuncture. She is very calming and the treatments are a pleasure to go to. Fantastic and totaly recomend Jill.” JA
Feeling positive about the future
I have fibromyalgia and myofascial pain disorder. I first came to see Jill with a very painful jaw which prevented me chewing any food. Jill was great at listening to me and the treatment was explained in detail. The day after my first session I yawned and it didn’t make me cry – I then cried because I was so relieved. The sessions that followed improved on this and Jill’s positive support has been invaluable. The pain from my conditions waxes and wanes, but it no longer keeps me indoors for days on end so I’m able to do much more with my life. More importantly I’m taking less than half the painkillers I used to and I’m not filled with anxiety and stress. I now feel so positive about the future as my illnesses have to deal with me rather than vice-versa. I would not hesitate in recommending Jill to my family and friends as the whole experience is calming, gentle and a proactive engagement against whatever ailment is trying to bring you down.”
