Testimonial:

'I came for my first treatment at Easter after being in excruciating back pain. After 3-4 treatments the pain was less and after 8 the pain was gone. At the moment I have maintenance treatment and still no pain. I go swimming twice a week. I couldn’t have contemplated doing that three months ago. I look forward to my treatments with Karen every time'
Sylvia aged 64

‘At the age of 7 I had glandular fever and was very poorly, 6 months later I was then diagnosed with M.E. and told that I had a severe form and I would probably never really recover. So for the past six years I have missed out on so much in life, school socialising, holidays, etc.
Then my mum heard about Karen so we made an appointment and discussed my symptoms with Karen. From my first treatment I felt so much better, I had energy, my aches and pains had gone, I can now sleep instead of being awake all night.
It is the most wonderful feeling to be a normal teenager and not having to worry about being too ill or tired. My family can’t believe the difference in me and say how healthy and glowing I look.
Thank you Karen for giving me my life back, I feel fantastic!'
Molly aged 13

'At the age of 32, I first arrived at Karen’s clinic looking and feeling like I had reached 80 years old in the few since I had been diagnosed with ME/CFS. My symptoms included fatigue and terrible pain, especially In my neck area that often left me debilitated. After the first three sessions with Karen, the pain had all but gone, leaving me to move freely again and I am pleased to say that one year on the pain has not returned. After feeling fairly sceptical before my first appointment, I now have no doubt that Karen’s skill and care has played an integral part in my recovery. Thanks for helping me to enjoy my life again!'

Testimonial:

'After suffering from gynaecology problems for many years I started a course of acupuncture with Karen. I was amazed at how well I felt after only a few treatments and within six months I was pregnant with my first child. After my daughter was born I continue to have treatment to great effect. It’s really opened my eyes to complementary therapy and I’d recommend acupuncture to anyone. With Karen I know I will always be in good hands!'
Claire aged 30

‘Having acupuncture for menopausal symptoms helped, not only to calm the hot flushes, but also rebalance me so that so that I no longer experienced violent mood swings. I can thoroughly recommend having acupuncture with Karen to any woman struggling with menopausal symptoms'

Testimonial:

'In the last four years my migraines had increase to 3-4 a month and I felt I needed an alternative to prescription drugs. Within a month of having acupuncture with Karen my attacks had reduced to one a month and were far less severe. The clinic the setting and the support I receive from Karen have all been instrumental in the success of my treatments- I feel I have got my life back'
Sarah aged 35

'I have migraines for about 25 years. They had been progressively worse until I was getting 2-3 most weeks. Having taken the plunge and tried acupuncture with Karen, the incidence of migraines has significantly reduced in a very few weeks of treatment and is continuing to reduce. Having tried many ways to get rid of migraines over the years, I was a cynical patient and I am delighted with the outcome which has given me back a huge amount of time I would either spent in bed or in a slightly dopey state having taken medication. I have no idea why or how it works but I am exceedingly grateful that it has worked for me'
