General well being

Acupuncture does not just treat symptoms. Its focus is on the individual and on strengthening their constitution. Consequently people having acupuncture often report feeling better ‘in themselves’, for example in terms of increased energy and improved sleep. Acupuncture aims to balance all aspects of a person; not just the physical, but the mental and emotional aspects too.

Testimonial

"As you know, I think that you and the treatment you give are wonderful and you must have noticed how much I have changed. When I think back to when I started with you and all the ailments I threw at you on my first visit it’s a wonder that you knew where to start. However, as we both know, one by one they all seem to have disappeared or at the very least got a lot better.

One of the more pressing and depressing concerns for me was my weight and you were honest with me from the start in that acupuncture was no magic cure for this. However, as all my other problems seemed to sort themselves out, my weight seemed to follow and I can only conclude from this that my weight was a symptom of how I was feeling about myself at that time and not the underlying problem.

I think coming to see you once a month helps me to keep healthy and positive. I look forward to our sessions and always come away feeling that I have invested a little time and effort on me and furthermore, that I am worth it! Once again thank you, because I really feel that you helped me change my life for the better."
