After 23 years of working in Edinburgh, and running my own practice for 13 of them, it’s quite hard to start again from scratch but also very inspiring.
Peebles is a great place to live but last year I was out of town a lot and couldn’t consider trying to build up a new business. Both my parents are elderly and live down south, so a chunk of time was allocated to travelling to see them and look after their needs.
In 2024 though, I am looking forward to gradually creating a new acupuncture hub in Peebles. Acupuncture can be such an amazing treatment, either as a stand-alone or as an adjunct to other modalities. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is rarely offered alone, without informed nutritional and lifestyle advice (like stress management and good sleep practice as well as eating to suit your needs). This is a big part of my practice and supporting people to re-vitalise and re-balance their lives is very rewarding.
I’ll be interested to meet and discover more about Peebles and the people who live here as time goes on. I’m looking forward to this summer (let’s hope it’s better than the last one!) and really enjoying the Borders for all it has to offer but also using my training and experience to give something back.
