She is an experienced acupuncturist and deeply compassionate, non-judgmental, and inclusive approach, welcoming people from all walks of life.
Liz genuinely loves what she does.

A Thoughtful and Person-Centred Approach to Acupuncture

Liz’s work is rooted in understanding each individual as a whole. Her treatments are tailored to support both physical symptoms and emotional well-being, creating space for balance, clarity, and long-term improvement.

Her approach combines:
​
  • Clinical knowledge and experience
  • Intuitive understanding
  • Deep listening and observation

She believes the most effective treatments come from a balance between structured practice and a more intuitive, felt understanding of the body.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
​Chinese herbal medicine is a traditional treatment used alongside acupuncture to support the body’s natural healing processes. Carefully selected herbal formulas are tailored to your individual needs, helping to address issues such as stress, hormonal imbalance, digestion and overall wellbeing. At Grey Door Therapy Clinic in Brighton & Hove, treatments are personalised and designed to work holistically with your body.


​Background and Path to Chinese Medicine

Liz’s journey into Chinese medicine is both rich and diverse. After completing her first university degree in the United States, followed by postgraduate studies, she worked across a wide range of professional environments.

Her early career included roles within:
​
  • An Election Commission
  • Political campaigns
  • Teaching computer classes across Nebraska, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York
  • A major investment bank in New York City
    ​
Following her move to London, Liz began her studies in Chinese medicine in 2006. This marked the beginning of a long-term commitment to a practice that aligned with her natural curiosity, intuition, and interest in healing.

​Nature, Horses and the Foundations of Healing

A consistent influence throughout Liz’s life has been her connection to horses, which she has worked with since childhood.

Through this experience, she developed a deep understanding of:
​
  • Nature and natural rhythms
  • Health and healing
  • Intuition and non-verbal communication
  • The use of herbs and acupuncture principles

Despite 11 years of formal education, Liz considers her time with horses and nature to be her greatest teacher. This is one of the reasons Chinese medicine resonates so strongly with her, as it is a system rooted in observation, balance, and relationship.

Clinical Experience and Areas of Focus

Liz brings extensive hands-on experience to her practice, having worked across a range of clinical environments.

Her experience includes:

  • Setting up and running a dedicated pain clinic
  • Working within a GP surgery setting
  • Treating both acute and chronic pain conditions
  • Supporting clients with complex and multi-layered health concerns

This breadth of experience allows her to approach each case thoughtfully, particularly where symptoms are long-standing or difficult to resolve.

Advanced Acupuncture Practice

In recent years, Liz has continued to develop her skills through mentorship in Advanced Acupuncture.

This approach works with all 68 channels of the body, rather than focusing solely on the 12 primary channels used in many modern systems.

By working with a more comprehensive understanding of the body, this method allows for:
​
  • Greater depth in treatment
  • More precise and personalised care
  • Improved outcomes for complex conditions

Liz describes this as an exciting and transformative development in her work, allowing her to access the true depth and potential of acupuncture.

Appointments and Fees

Appointments are designed to be calm, supportive, and centred around your individual needs.

  • Initial consultation: £70
  • Follow-up appointments: £60

Each session with Liz includes time to understand your symptoms, discuss your wellbeing, and provide treatment tailored specifically to you.
