Ilan started to practice full time in 1995. He now works from his busy clinic and has accumulated invaluable experience in treating people with TCM. During his 24 years in practice Ilan has also regularly continued his updating and accumulation of knowledge through attending specialised seminars, courses and conventions both in the U.K. and in China.

Kerry-Anne O’Kane BSc (hons) MBAcC
(Hinckley Practice)
Kerry is a fully-qualified traditional and cosmetic rejuvenation acupuncturist. She studied at the University of Lincoln where she gained a first class degree in Acupuncture, as well wining the prize for health and social care for the class of 2013 due to her dedication and passion for acupuncture, helping people achieve results they never thought they could with natural medicine. Her qualifications ensure she is not only a very highly trained acupuncturist, but also has a great understanding of Western Medicine. Kerry is a member of the British Acupuncture Council which ensures the strictest standards of hygiene and professional conduct are upheld.
With her treatments, Kerry seeks to find the root cause of the problem as well as treating the symptoms; she believes that with this approach results should be longer-lasting as the body is able to repair and re-balance on a deeper level. Every treatment is tailored to meet the needs of each individual and Kerry may also make recommendations that may be beneficial to complement acupuncture treatment; these may include yoga, qi gong or tai chi, meditation or simple dietary recommendations.
Kerry’s postgraduate qualification in Facial Enhance Acupuncture is a very popular, non-surgical, natural treatment which many people turn to as a viable alternative to invasive injections or other chemical treatments.
