Lois graduated from the College of Traditional Acupuncture in 1993 and went on to complete post-graduate studies in acupuncture in 1995. Tim graduated from the College of Traditional Acupuncture in 1995. The College is one of the longest established in the UK and was founded by Professor JR Worsley, who passed on his passion for Five Element acupuncture to his students.

Lois taught at the College from 1995 to 1999, leaving to join Tim in focussing on creating The Acupuncture Clinic as an alternative health centre.

After graduating from the college, Tim and Lois realised that their education in acupuncture and treating patients was only just beginning. They both have a thirst for knowledge and self-improvement and engage in an on-going programme of post-graduate development. They have studied the treatment of back pain and muscular/skeletal problems using acupuncture and therapeutic massage, and use this treatment protocol extensively in their practise. More recently, they have studied CranioSacral Therapy and are starting to integrate it into their acupuncture treatments.

Other Courses of Study:

Counselling at the University of Warwick.

Neuro Linguistic Programming.

Nutrition with the Institute of Optimum Nutrition

Most recently Lois has completed the required training to become a founder member of the Zita West national network for reproductive health.

Her particular interests are the treatment of stress and infertility.

For fitness and leisure, Lois enjoys pilates, cycling, reading, watching a good film and listening to motivational CDs (usually by Tony Robbins).

Tim researches and reads a lot and is a fount of information, having a great knack of explaining things in a way which can be easily understood. He particularly likes the work of Deepak Chopra and applying this wisdom to his own life and that of his patients.

Tim loves to work with his hands, which he uses to intuitively guide him to the areas of the body which need working upon. Tim's particular interest is in the treatment of muscular/skeletal disorders.

In his spare time, Tim enjoys cycling, running, pilates, listening to CDs and spending time with friends. Both Tim and Lois are committed to life-long learning and self-improvement.
