Jan Stringer

After working as a microbiologist and Quality Assurance manager in the pharmaceutical industry for 17 years Janet returned to studying and qualified as an acupuncturist from the College of Integrated Chinese medicine in Reading in 2002. She practices both Traditional and Five Element Acupuncture.

Since then she has been working in a busy polyclinic in North Kent, before migrating south to live in West Sussex.

A firm believer in taking an integrated approach to healthcare she also worked as a consultant for the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine and various suppliers of Chinese Herbal Medicines to the UK.

In the past Janet has worked on Safe Practices in acupuncture for the British Acupuncture Council and taught interested parties in clean techniques and Quality Assurance for herbal supply chains. She continues to study but now it relates to perenial philosophy with a particular emphasis on its links to Chinese Medicine. Over the years Janet has treated a wide range of conditions, from stress and anxiety to seasonal rhinitis, fertility to headaches and she has a special interest in neurological conditions such as MS, and disorders of collagen and elastic tissue, including Marfan’s and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
