Acupuncture in Witney, Oxfordshire.
I graduated from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine with a BSc(Hons) degree in Chinese Medicine after three and a half years training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Elements Acupuncture.
Prior to this I worked in IT for many years before becoming interested in Alternative and Complementary Therapies. I first studied and used Applied Kinesiology for many years, and then Cranial Fluid Dynamics which is a form of Cranial Sacral Therapy that uses Kinesiology to allow the patient to guide the process according to their needs. This led me to the point where I felt that I needed to study and practice a more widely known and accepted form of therapy and chose Chinese Medicine, in which I have always had an interest and was therefore a natural choice.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, the body that represents and governs professionally qualified acupuncturists. I am therefore bound by the British Acupuncture Council’s Code of Professional Conduct and a strict Code of Safe Practice to ensure hygiene and safety.
Each year I undertake CPD (Continuing Professional Development) courses, to further my understanding and broaden my knowledge of various aspects of Acupuncture.
The first week in April I went to see my doctor to explain to her how bad the pain was with the Rheumatoid arthritis in my arms. The strength had gone from my arms, to get dressed and undressed was very painful, also putting on and taking off my coat. I was told the only option was to have a shoulder operation. Having had Acupuncture 35 years ago for a stiff neck which solved the problem, I thought I would try Acupuncture for my shoulders. I made an appointment with Sasha and after the first month the pain had eased and the stiffness in my arms reduced. After four months of treatment I can move my arms and the pain has gone. I thank Sasha for all her care and she is a delightful person to visit. JD
