About Alex

I am fully trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine which provides a multi-layered approach to treatment covering any disharmony of the emotional, physical and spiritual health. I am passionate about my work and committed to the integrity of my patients' journey towards well being.

Originally from South Africa I moved to London in the late nineties. As far back as I can remember I have always wanted to help people. This motivated me to explore different therapies within complementary medicine allowing me to acquire an understanding of various holistic techniques and leading me to my true vocation – Acupuncture and I have not looked back since.

I gained my BSc(Hons) degree in Acupuncture and a Licentiate Diploma in Acupuncture following 3 years study at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture which is affiliated with Portsmouth University. The subject of my thesis was the potential role of antenatal acupuncture in labour. I believe that acupuncture, science and research are constantly developing so I continue to update my practice skills through post graduate studies attending courses, workshops and other programmes that offer continuing professional development.

As a member of the British Acupuncture Council, the professional body for Acupuncturists in the UK, I am bound by the Council's Code of Safe Practice and Code of Professional Conduct, and their commitment to Continual Professional Development and patient welfare. Membership provides full Professional and Public/Products Liability insurance and requires practitioners to follow strict guidelines for practice and ethics and ensures professional standards.

I treat at various clinics in Barnet, Radlett & Hendon North London. Full clinic addresses can be seen on the contact page.
