A little about Liv...
Liv’s introduction, in the late 90`s, to Eastern healing practices during her time in Japan marked the start of her passion for traditional medicine. Experiencing the transformative power of meridian therapy via acupressure, she realised how effective these ancient techniques were in addressing the physical toll of modern life, such as poor circulation and jet lag.
This experience left a lasting impact, setting her on a path toward learning more about how to harness the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Liv’s dedication to healing deepened when she apprenticed under the guidance of Michelle Roques O'Neil, a renowned aromatherapist, alchemist and healer. This hands-on training laid a strong foundation in natural therapies, introducing her to Chinese medical theory and allowing her to integrate various aromatherapy techniques and methods to stimulate healing through the senses.
Liv’s curiosity led her to pursue a BSc in Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture at the prestigious College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. This formal education not only strengthened her knowledge of meridian theory but also expanded her repertoire to include acupuncture, guasha, and cupping—powerful tools for restoring balance in the body’s Qi.
Practicing at The Brackenbury Clinic in London and later at The Wellbeing Clinic in Calne, allowed her to refine her skills and apply her knowledge to a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to stress and fatigue.
Liv has earned high praise for her work, with The Evening Standard dubbing her a "Wellness Warrior"—a testament to her dedication to promoting health and wellness through natural means. Her patients also recognize her skill, with one affectionately referring to her as a "Hayfever Whisperer" due to her expertise in treating seasonal allergies.
Liv’s commitment to holistic care extends to all ages, from infants to the elderly. Her completion of a Diploma in Paediatrics in 2019 underscores her ability to tailor her treatments to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether they are a baby or "wrinkly," all are welcome!
Liv's Approach
Liv's approach draws from the enduring and effective practices of Eastern medicine. She blends theories such as Five Element theory, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and the Master Tung/Dr. Tan acupuncture methods. These practices offer profound insight into the nuances of human health, seeing the body as more than just a collection of parts but as an interconnected whole.
This lies central to Liv's philosophy - the belief that everything in the body is interconnected. Physical symptoms are often tied to emotional, environmental, or energetic imbalances. Liv treats the whole person, not just isolated issues, by recognising these connections and addressing them to restore balance throughout the body and mind and allowing for a more complete and lasting healing process.
Liv sees a fundamental difference between Eastern and Western medical approaches. Western medicine can be effective for acute or localised conditions, but doesn`t always consider the broader context of the patient’s physical and mental health. It zooms in on specific issues, focusing on treating symptoms with outside resources such as topical creams, medications, or surgery, whereas Chinese medicine looks at the entire individual. It seeks to find the root cause of the issue, understanding how physical, emotional, and environmental factors contribute to malaise.
Liv’s goal is not merely to provide temporary relief but to help patients achieve long-term balance in their body and mind. Her holistic approach, grounded in Chinese medicine, gives her a focus on balance, internal healing, and treating the root causes of illness, which provides a more complete and enduring path to health and well-being.
