What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build holistic health practices while maintaining allopathic care.

I am a clinical acupuncturist, and work with needling, cupping, and moxibustion for concerns such as as colds, muscle pain, infertility, and emotional issues.

My Bachelor of Health Sciences in Complementary Medicine is supported by a cum laude Master's in Medical Science specialising in Neuroscience. I'm continuing my training in Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy to combine herbal therapies and acupuncture while maintaining allopathic care.

I've also contributed as a University of KwaZulu-Natal tutor, research assistant, and medical-journal editor, and co-ran a Master Maths centre, managing administration, accounts, diagnostic assessments, and tutoring.
