empathic, passionate & fun-lovingRichard's acupuncture treatment for the pain from my sacral insufficiency made the difference between not being able to walk and becoming mobile again. I have been having Acupuncture for the last 10 months and it has greatly helped alleviate my symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. I have improved dramatically over a short period of time, which is rare with this illness. |
Why I Do What I Do
In 1989, I left my office career to travel and work across Asia and beyond for 18 months. When I returned, I planned to train as a chiropractor—until a chance encounter in Australia changed everything.
A chance four-hour ride with an acupuncturist introduced me to the power of acupuncture—not just for pain, but for mental and emotional well-being. Inspired, I spent the next year researching, receiving treatments (which helped my chronic migraines), and meeting other UK acupuncturists.
In 1992, I began a three-year training program under Professor Worsley, a pioneer in UK acupuncture.
After qualifying in 1995, I co-founded Bristol Natural Health Service (BNHS). In 2001, I took the reins for full responsibility for the clinic and moved it to its current location, supported by a dedicated team.
My Experience
Since 1995, I’ve practiced full-time, trained in Five Element Acupuncture, and later studied TCM for a more integrated approach. I feel privileged to help patients every day.
Outside of work, I’m a father of two and enjoy sailing, studying Spanish, and spending time with family & friends
