About June
After graduating from York in 1980, with a BA Hons in Linguistics, June taught English for a year, both in the UK and abroad, and then went into healthcare and has been there ever since. Having begun training as a nurse in mental health in 1980, she had a break to have her two children, in 1982 and 1985.
She qualified as a Touch for Health instructor (basic Kinesiology) in 1987, studied Flower Essences in 1988, qualified as an acupuncturist from the Northern College of Acupuncture in 1991 and as a paediatric acupuncturist in 1994. She obtained a PGCE in 2000. Her on-going training has included mentoring and supervision, Thermo auricular therapy (Ear Candles), Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture, Egyptian Alkhemi Healing. Recently (in 2021 and 2022) adding in Touch for Health Mentoring and Doula Training. Over the years June has assisted at many births and helped many more women prepare for and recover from labour.
June is currently the People’s Health Alliance Paediatric Ambassador / Advocate, and she has a Telegram account where she posts her videos and the Wednesday Wellbeing presentations she works on with a great team of people offering different Self Care methods.
June opened The Healing Clinic in Fulford Cross in 1992 to provide a wide range of quality complementary therapies to the public. She added the courses room and that became Briar House Resources, for 10 years providing space for local groups to meet and explore health and wellbeing subjects.
A major part of June’s clinical practice since 1993 is the treatment of children. In 1996 she started teaching classes for parents and carers of children to help improve understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and the prevention of future problems. Now she teaches often online as well as in person.
June is an enthusiastic networker and a member in the past of several business and networks and has pioneered the taking of complementary therapies into local organisations, offering mini-massage treatments through clothing for 15 minute sessions at various events.
She set up Wellbeing in York in the Raylor Centre in May 2019 with two colleagues and a much smaller group of therapists and teachers.
June says “I specifically like to help with digestive ailments (they are the root of many many other problems), respiratory problems (if we can’t breathe well, the whole rhythm of the body is out of balance), hormonal imbalances (thrown off by our modern lives and the influences all around us), circulatory problems (if Blood does not flow well, many things do not work at their optimum levels – everything relies on Blood), just as some examples.
I have been teaching other acupuncturists how to use the techniques I use, particularly with their child patients. I started teaching Touch for Health in 1986, and Oriental Medicine for Children in 1996, as well as The Treatment of Children’s Ailments at home for parents and carers. I started teaching online in 2013, and I continue this now with my Children’s Wellbeing workshops and the Touch for Health Self Care workshops. They are very interactive even though online.
I had a lovely friend, Jenny Hutchinson, who shared with me her memories of life with her parents who were healers. We planned a book together of home remedies, and it is my promise to her that I will get it done in her memory. She sadly passed away in 2012.
I love my work, in fact it is not work to me, it is a privilege and a vocation that I will be lucky if I can continue to be involved in until my very old age.”
