Hi, I'm Vikki

I have over 15 years experience working in addiction and mental health services. I've seen first hand the impact our emotions have on our physical health. 

My mum suffered with depression for many years, it was hard to see her so low at times. She then developed diabetes and chronic heart failure which made her depression worse. She was stuck in a cycle and Western Medicine's answer was medication - and lots of it! She then had side effects from all the meds!

When I started studying Traditional Chinese Medicine I began to understand how mums physical and mental health was connected and am grateful to be able to use this knowledge to help others. 

Now in my practice I support people not only with depression, but all mental health problem, as well as insomnia, anxiety, stress, and hormonal mood changes. I use my years of experience in the field of addiction to treat those who are dependent on alcohol or drugs.

My personal experience has made me especially passionate about supporting loved ones of people who are physically or mentally unwell. The toll on loved ones and carers is often underestimated as they put others needs before their own. Carers matter too!

On a professional note, I have a BSc. and a Licentiate in Acupuncture from The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, and am a fully insured member of The British Acupuncture Council. I am also a recommended supplier of Acupuncture for NHS staff in Reading and surrounding areas.
