Having worked in the advertising industry for 15 years, Kate decided to take the leap and make a drastic career change when a session of acupuncture completely changed her perspective on life. She went on to complete a degree in Chinese medicine and acupuncture, followed by a Masters in herbal medicine. Katie is now a fully qualified herbalist, acupuncturist and is a Member of the British Acupuncture Council-needless to say, she has never looked back!

Employing traditional notions of Chinese medicine, Kate aims to change and adapt the environment of women’s bodies. Rather than just prescribing medicine for a general ailment she looks to chart your internal body environment and alleviate the underlying cause of health problems. Essentially, it’s all about observing the body and understanding the energetics. During a consultation Kate will check and analyse your tongue (you’ve been warned; avoid doing a Miley), pulse, menstrual cycle and body temperature. Once a diagnosis has been made, Kate is then able to use her healing hands to treat women of all ages and with a wide array of problems. Her clientele range from women with gynaecological problems, fertility issues or menstrual irregularities and those suffering from muscular pain and discomfort.

If the prospect of prickles and needles makes you a little uneasy then rest assured; Kate’s clinics are always open if you just fancy a chat to talk through any problems you might be encountering. It’s a really relaxed, free space and Kate is always happy to listen. After all, she believes it’s a combination of both physical and emotional wellbeing that’s vital when it comes to keeping us all healthy and smiling! Chinese medicine teaches us thus, and given that it’s been relied upon by millions for a whopping 5,000 years, who are we to dispute it?
