About Me

I trained for three years at the Northern College of Acupuncture, earning a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture), building a strong foundation in classical acupuncture and modern practice. Driven by a passion for deepening my expertise, I pursued an MSc, where I conducted and analysed a clinical trial on osteoarthritis, bridging the gap between Eastern and Western medicine.

To further expand my knowledge, I completed an intensive two-year postgraduate training course in Chinese Herbal Medicine and became a member of the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM). This enables me to safely prescribe tailored herbal formulas, working alongside acupuncture to enhance healing and restore balance.

With this combined expertise, I offer a truly integrative approach, drawing from both ancient traditions and modern medical understanding to support your health naturally.

Restoring Balance & Enhancing Wellbeing

Acupuncture

Acupuncture stimulates specific points to restore the free flow of Qi and achieve balance throughout the body. It activates the nervous system to release tissue mediators, reducing pain and inflammation while promoting overall homeostasis and well-being.

Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine uses personalised herbal combinations to address both symptoms and underlying imbalances. The herbs are carefully matched to your specific condition and work synergistically to enhance therapeutic outcomes.

Pressure points correspond to different organs in the body and a treatment can promote relaxation, stress reduction and the bodies natural healing processes.

Can’t thank Carla enough. I was feeling fatigued, lethargic, & suffering with stomach pain after meals. Less than a month into taking the herbs Carla prescribed the stomach ache has gone, I feel much more enthused, & have so much more energy that friends have actually commented on it

I have had a VERY tough time with fertility, I was recommended Carla as I was about to start IVF. Carla really put me at ease & explained everything to me on my first consultation. I look forward to coming for my acupuncture appointments as it really relaxes me but also she’s lovely to get on with. I would recommend Carla 100 times over. 💜
