Hello, and Welcome.
I believe that choosing the right practitioner is about far more than qualifications alone. The therapies I offer are important, of course, but so too is the relationship we build. Feeling comfortable, understood, and supported can make all the difference.
So, before I tell you about my professional training and experience, I’d love to introduce myself as a person. Have a read, see what resonates, and if something clicks, I’d be delighted to meet you.
The Person
Life is currently inviting me to dance with change.
After more than twenty years in Lincolnshire, I recently moved to Suffolk and am embracing a new chapter in both life and work. Like many women, I find myself navigating the rich and sometimes surprising landscape of my Second Spring. I’m waking up to my Wise Woman years, reclaiming parts of myself that had been quietly waiting in the wings, and leaning ever more fully into my witchy wu nature.
It’s an exciting journey, even when the path occasionally feels a little uneven beneath my feet.
I am Mum to three wonderful grown ups and share a cute cosy cottage near Bury St Edmunds with Mr B. Our household also includes Darcy Cat, my beautiful feline familiar, and Lilly, our equally beautiful and delightfully bouncy rescue springer spaniel.
When I’m not in clinic, you’ll often find me with a mug of tea in hand, a drum nearby, a stack of books within reach, or maybe wandering through the countryside with Lilly and soaking up the magick of the seasons. If you’d like to follow along with some of our everyday adventures, you’ll find me on Facebook and Instagram.
The Practitioner
My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine began about twenty years ago and has become both my profession and my passion. For the past sixteen years I have been privileged to support people through a wide range of physical, emotional, and hormonal health challenges in my own practice.
I hold a Bachelor of Science (Honours) Degree in Acupuncture and a Postgraduate Diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine. I am also a fully participating member of both the British Acupuncture Council and the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine, the leading professional bodies for my disciplines in the UK.
Alongside my clinical practice, I teach as a Clinical Supervisor on the BAAB-accredited BSc (Hons) Acupuncture degree programme in Lincoln and provide locum treatments at a specialist fertility and IVF support clinic in Stamford.
Learning has always been important to me and I continue to undertake regular professional development to deepen and expand my knowledge. This has included training in Chinese Medicine Five Element Drumming, a beautiful modality that combines rhythm, intention, and energetic awareness. And my most recent learning is focused on combining intuitive drumming with a wonderful body wrapping technique based on a traditional ‘closing the bones’ ceremony, known as Wrapped in Rhythm.
Over the years I have come to recognise that my empathic and intuitive nature is every bit as important in my work as my formal training. Drawing upon both, I have developed a holistic approach that blends the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with energy-based practices such as Five Element Drumming and my own Wu Way Method. These offerings sit alongside acupuncture and herbal medicine, creating space for healing on multiple levels.
You will often find these elements woven into workshops, seasonal gatherings, and Sister Circles, where community, connection, and a little sparkle of magick are very much encouraged.
Before Chinese medicine called me, I spent my early career in the research-focused world of libraries and information services. Looking back, it feels like the perfect foundation. It taught me to value evidence, curiosity, and attention to detail, qualities that now sit comfortably alongside intuition, creativity, and flow.
So that’s a little about me.
Now I’d love to learn about you.
Whenever you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.
With Warmest Witchy Wu Wishes,
Sandra
