A particular focus on
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

The approach
Treating the person, not just the label
Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a different way of understanding mental and emotional wellbeing, one that looks at the whole person rather than separating mind from body.
Consultations explore your individual pattern: emotional wellbeing, sleep, energy, digestion, physical symptoms and the ways these may interact. Treatment is then tailored to you, using acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine.

Alongside clinical work I have spent most of my life as a musician, recording artist and producer. Sound Herbs grew from bringing these two parts of my life together.

Where Chinese Medicine meets sound
A creative research project translating the qualities of Chinese medicinal herbs, their temperature, flavour and organ affinity, into frequencies, textures and musical structures.
Common questions
Before you book
Can I have herbs alongside my medication?
Often yes, but it always needs checking. Please tell me about any medication or supplements you take, including antidepressants, so the formula can be checked for interactions. If in doubt I will suggest speaking with your GP first.
Is Chinese Medicine a replacement for therapy?
No. It can be used alongside conventional medical or psychological care, never as a replacement for necessary treatment.
Can we speak in Greek?
Yes. Consultations are available in English or Greek (Ελληνικά).
