TRADITIONAL ACUPUNCTURIST - JAN STILL CQSW.
ASW. Lic.Ac. MBAC
I qualified as a
Traditional Acupuncturist in 1997, having completed a 3 year course at
Degree level which gave me a Licence in Acupuncture (Lic. Ac). I studied at
the College of Traditional Acupuncture, Leamington Spa (CTA).
Once qualified, I set up
the The Natural Health Clinic for Traditional Acupuncture in Warwick Market
Place with another Acupuncturist Erika Fitzgibbon who has now retired.
For the last 5 years I
also taught Traditional Acupuncture on the Degree course at CTA.
Traditional Acupuncture
is at least 2000 years old, so there are always new things to learn, I
continue to attend training courses, and seminars, as part of my continuing
professional development.
My previous career was in
Social Work, I ran a residential home for the elderly and disabled for 3
years, and for 2 years worked in a community crisis hostel. At 25 I studied
Social Work qualifying with a CQSW.
For the following 10
years I specialised in work with abused children and their families. I have
specialist skills in counselling, emotional distress, and behavioural
issues.
In
addition I specialised in Mental Health, and was an Approved Mental Health
Social Worker working with GP’s and Psychiatrists to secure the well being
of patients in the community and in hospital.
Traditional Acupuncture
is a medicine that was developed to treat the physical, emotional and
psychological well being of each person, I am able to draw on a
considerable professional training and work experience when working to
improve an individual’s physical and emotional health.
When I came across
Traditional Acupuncture; I was so impressed at how it combined all the
elements of my previous work, as well as treating the physical problems
that people experience; I knew that I had to learn more.
I work with people of all
ages, from children to the very elderly, it gives me great pleasure to be
able to give time and care to such a wide range of individuals.
Please give me a ring and
arrange a free consultation to see how Acupuncture can benefit you.
