Lavina discovered the benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine for herself back in 2002 when a stressful City career resulted in symptoms of general ill health for which she sought help. She was so impressed with the results that she left the City and retrained as both acupuncturist and herbalist, qualifying in 2005 and 2007, respectively. She spent six years working in London clinics before relocating to West Sussex with her husband James and their two young children in 2011.
"I can honestly say that I have never looked back since leaving the City. Every day I feel privileged to be able to help so many people on their road to health & wellbeing."
Lavina is a member of both the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the Register of Chinese Herbs (RCHM). As such, she adheres to strict guidelines concerning safe needling practice and the use of approved suppliers for herbs (no animal products are approved for use by RCHM members in the UK).
