I have been a registered nurse since 1978. I worked as a nurse in a psychiatric clinic (detoxification department for drug addicts) and then for many years in the somatic emergency department. In 1988, I finished a 1.5-year acupuncture training at the Swedish Acupuncture School, Malm\u00f6. In 1990, I studied for a year at the Center for Acupuncture, Gothenburg, with Per Nittve. In 1990-93 I studied at the Norwegian acupuncture school and in 1993 I was on an acupuncture course in Nanjing, China. In between and after that I have studied shorter courses for, among others, Giovanni Maciocia, Anton Jayasuriya, Ted Kaptchuk, Christer Carlsson and Richard Tan. I have studied Pediatric Acupuncture with Julian Scott and Alex Tiberi.<\/p>\n
Among others, I have studied ear acupuncture for Michael Smith with colleagues at the Lincoln Clinic in New York (1997), John Tindall at the Gateway Clinic in London (1996), and doctors Shen, Raphael Nogier and Alain Coutte\u00b4.<\/p>\n
In 2004 I took a master’s degree in nursing, in 2005 I finished specialist training in psychiatry and in 2007 I was accepted as a doctoral student at Lund University, Sweden. Jag tog licentiatexamen 2009 och doktorsexamen 2011.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
I worked at my private acupuncture clinic from 1988 to 2015. Since 1995 I have been teaching ear acupuncture. 2006-2011 I was employed part-time as a doctoral student at Lund University. From 2012 to 2025 I was employed as a lecturer and researcher at Lund University. As a part of my duty I was a part-time clinical lecturer at the psychiatric clinic, Region Sk\u00e5ne, 2016-2022. In 2019 I was appointed associate professor. From 2026 I\u00b4m no longer employed but a senior researcher in the research group Psychiatry at IKVM, Lund University. Outside the university I teach ear acupuncture.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
