I am a qualified Registered Nurse and a holistic practitioner with over 20 years experience. I am the originator of the ''black box'' biophysical therapy system that is used in many addiction centres throughout the UK.  This is a form of electro stimulation therapy often described as needle free acupuncture.  I appeared on the ‘Richard & Judy show’ with one of my clients who had detoxified from prescribed tranquillisers using this system, and on 'The Time The Place' (the programme was about therapies useful to cancer sufferers) with one of my patients who had received pain relief.  I specialise in treatment for addictions and withdrawal from addictive drugs and alcohol. I am also particularly interested in treating allergies, skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne etc., chronic fatigue syndrome and anorexia nervosa.

Therapeutic protocols of my own design using 'frequency specific pulsed electrical stimulation' are now well-used and accepted in addiction clinics throughout the UK.  I continue to design and run practitioner courses in needle free electro acupuncture for health care professionals, qualified therapists and addiction workers.  I am committed to provide training for drug treatment organisations so that access to this type of treatment may be increased.

I am listed in the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Statement

There has been malicious defamatory attempts to discredit myself and other homeopaths by claiming doctorate qualifications have been purchased off the internet (so called “degree mills”).  I can confirm that all my qualifications have been properly studied for with assessment by various combinations of examination, dissertation and submission of case studies before certification has been awarded.  I have never wished or attempted to present myself as a medical doctor and have always been proud of my professionalism as a nurse therapist.  I have been as open, honest and sincere as possible by listing my qualifications, date and awarding school for all to inspect as well as a resume of my professional background and experience.  I believe this is relevant information for people to access so they can feel comfortable placing their valued trust in me as a practitioner.
