About Dominic
Dominic studied Chinese Medicine at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, graduating in 2000. He subsequently undertook a 2-year Post-Graduate Diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, graduating in 2005 and spent an intensive and very inspiring 3 months doing further clinical training at the Chengdu Traditional Chinese Medicine University Hospital in Sichuan Province, China, returning for further training in a private clinic in Chengdu.
Dominic worked for 11 years as the in-house acupuncturist for the Saddleton Road, Whitstable and Seasalter NHS Surgeries (2007-2018) and has completed specialist post-graduate acupuncture training in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions (with Tony Brewer and Andrew Nugent-Head), fertility and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (with the Zita West Clinic), fire cupping techniques (with Michael Pringle), and cosmetic acupuncture (with Radha Thambirajah and John Tindall).
Dominic’s acupuncture practice is largely inspired by the lineage system of Master Tung (1916-1975), a renowned practitioner with impressive clinical results. He also incorporates Ear and Scalp Microsystems Acupuncture where appropriate, having trained with John Tindall at the Yuan Traditional Medicine Clinic.
In 2009, he was the lead acupuncturist in the UK’s first feasibility study on acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of schizophrenia.
He served for ten years on the editorial board of the European Journal of Oriental Medicine (2003-2013) and has published an article on the treatment of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) with Chinese herbal medicine as well as several articles on acupuncture in the treatment of psychosis in EJOM and in other journals.
