What Patients Say
Each patient is an individual and so has a unique experience of acupuncture as healing
occurs. The following testimonials from some of our patients show this and speak volumes
for strengths of Traditional Acupuncture.


My name is Belinda and I havebeen having acupuncture to treat my migraines for about three
months now. Before I started to come to acupuncture I used to get horrendous stomach
migraines every weekend and all I wanted to do was sleep. This affected my energy levels
and meant they were very low which in turn affected my quality of life. Since I have had my
first treatment my migraines have decreased a great deal and I no longer suffer with the
vomiting part of the migraine which used to leave me feeling exhausted. When I do have a
migraine, which is not very often, they are less violent and do not last so long. Acupuncture
has also helped me confront my fear of needles. I am now able to stay much more calm and
relaxed when receiving treatment, where as before I was extremely nervous about even
seeing a needle let alone it even touching my skin. Now I am able to control my fear and have
overcome it, because I just think about how much it has helped my migraines and how it has
given me my quality of life back which I am grateful for. Acupuncture has helped me so much
as my migraines no longer control my life and I feel much happier in myself. I would definitely
recommend acupunture to anyone.

In October 2007 I was diagnosed with Under active Thyroid, and so I began taking the
prescribed medication to counteract the symptoms. 18 months later I found that whilst the
blood tests showed that levels were within the normal range I still suffered from a range of
symptoms. These included; headaches, IBS, low energy levels and frequent illness. Jon came
highly recommended, so I followed advise and booked an appointment. Within a few sessions
improvements in my health were obvious. Most significantly the IBS symptoms had all but
disappeared and a headache became a rare occurrence. Since beginning my treatment I
found that illnesses occur less often and recovery time is now much quicker. I have far more
energy overall and feel very much like my old self again.

FERTILITY

After 3 years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive we were told that IVF was our only hope.
After much soul searching we decided that we would begin our IVF journey. We knew the
odd were against us but felt that we had to try.
I was keen to explore alternative therapies and contacted Jon regarding acupuncture. In
October 2008 I began fortnightly sessions in the hope of preparing my body for the rigours of
IVF. I always felt calmer and more relaxed after a treatment which couldn't be a bad thing.
In February 2009, whilst still continuing with acupuncture, I began my first IVF cycle. I visited
Jon more frequently as egg collection approached, even having a treatment prior to the eggs
being returned and another immediately after.
Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant and at our first scan discovered it was twins. I
firmly believe that acupuncture assisted in the success of our IVF. I still continue my
acupuncture sessions and also believe that this has helped me to have a relatively problem
free pregnancy. I would recommend using acupuncture to anyone who is expecting fertility
difficulties or is beginning their own IVF journey.

I have suffered with heavy menstrual periods and related stomach cramps since the age of
17, which have gradually become more severe and extremely irregular. After reading an
article about acupuncture and how it could help to regulate my menstrual cycle, I booked an
appointment with my practitioner. After 4 teatments my cycle became lighter and much more
regular. However the icing on the cake was now finding out I've fallen pregnant naturally,
which before was proving difficult before without a set monthly ovulation date.
