Acne, Eczema, Rosacea & Other Skin Conditions

Skin troubles are hard to hide and harder to ignore. A flare-up can change how you dress, how you sleep, how you feel walking into a room. And they rarely behave: clearing for a while, then returning with stress, a change of season, your cycle or something you ate.

Many people spend years moving from one cream to the next, never being asked what else is going on in their body.

In Chinese Medicine, the skin has always been understood as a reflection of what is happening inside. Digestion, hormones, stress and sleep all leave their mark, which is why two people with the same skin complaint may need very different care.

Calmer skin comes from working on the inside as well as the surface. We look at the whole picture, including the things you may not have thought were related, and build a treatment plan around you. This may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and practical food and lifestyle guidance. I commonly see people for acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis and hives.

If you are ready to feel comfortable in your skin again, my care works comfortably alongside your GP or dermatologist and any treatment you are already receiving.
