Gillie graduated from ICOM with a first-class licentiate. She combines seeing patients at ICOM with clinics at the Pickering cancer drop-in centre in Tunbridge Wells and the MacMillan centre in the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead.
She sees acupuncture as complementary rather than alternative medicine and takes an active interest in conventional medical understandings of ill health. However, as many people contend with conditions that significantly compromise their quality of life, yet struggle to get any support from mainstream medical services, she feels that acupuncture has a growing role to play. It can address issues such as insomnia, anxiety and menopausal symptoms without the risk of side effects or dependence associated with some medications.
Gillie values her relationships with patients and enjoys working with them to alleviate their symptoms and improve their sense of well-being.
Gillie is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC).
