What experience teaches

The more people you treat,the more you learnto listen.

“Every person brings a different history and a different way of responding. One thing I’ve learned is the importance of remaining curious.”

  1. Seeing the wider pictureYour health history, your circumstances and how different concerns connect, alongside whatever brought you in.
  2. Choosing a gentle approachTechniques chosen around your needs and comfort, including Saam Korean acupuncture, which often uses just a few carefully chosen points.
  3. Adapting as you goWhat suits one person, or one season, may not suit another. Treatment is reviewed with you and adjusted together.

From Auckland to Moray

A journeyin practice.

Ingrid trained and practised in New Zealand, where she lived for more than twenty years. Years of clinical work in Auckland gave her a broad, practical grounding in acupuncture and East Asian medicine.

Today she practises from her home in Forres, in a garden clinic surrounded by the woods, rivers and coast of Moray.

“I believe we’re part of nature, and that our physical, emotional and mental wellbeing are deeply interconnected.”
