"I’ve suffered hay fever nearly all my life. After a couple of sessions with Al the improvement was amazing, and I could get on with enjoying the summer."

"I have been seeing Al now for a few months. I must say that I feel that I have a much better control of my life. I used to have headaches almost every day with trivial triggers. This greatly impacted on my social life, which now is so much improved! I am grateful to Al. It’s something I would recommend to my patients."

"I have been suffering from IBS for over 18 months and since I have had treatment from Deb my condition has improved immensely and my ongoing treatment for arthritis helps me to cope and manage the pain. Deb is also a very good listener. I definitely recommend her if you are suffering from stress or emotional problems."

"I became tired after any slight exertion and was having bad night sweats. My partner was being treated by Deb and encouraged me to make an appointment to see her. This charming lady put me at ease as we spoke about my medical history before she began any treatment. I became a regular client and always leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and more energetic."

"I decided to try acupuncture as I had stiffness in my shoulder, neck and hips, and after a year of trying traditional medicine I didn’t feel better. I am really happy with the result. The acupuncture doesn’t take my pain away 100%, but it helps me carry on my life more easily. I also suffer from migraines and the acupuncture also helps me with this issue. I recommend acupuncture to every one."

"After three months of 3 hour’s a night sleep, and no help through the NHS, I tried acupuncture in desperation. I was probably sleeping better after 3 to 4 sessions with Al. When I feel a bad sleeping pattern coming on now, I come back for a top-up. Although it has not completely cured my insomnia, it has improved immensely, and I am confident that I won’t have to return to that state again."

"The last year has been extremely stressful, and as a result I had a series of panic attacks and continued anxiety. I was continually crying and the only solution I was offered at the doctor’s was boxes and boxes of pills. I looked up treatments assisted by a friend who had received acupuncture. I found Al on the internet and rang immediately. After a really supportive, friendly and sympathetic talk I arranged my first consultation for that afternoon and have felt better continually since. I can even recognise panic and deal with it much better.
I hate needles but would now consider nothing else, as it’s painless and it works."

"Before I tried acupuncture I was afraid to travel on public transport, or go on a plane, because of panic attacks. It took 3 sessions of acupuncture for me to be able to travel first on buses, and then finally to go on holiday by plane.I wanted to get my life back, to get out and about without panic. This I have achieved.
The thought of needles being used did make me a bit nervous, but it was painless.
I found it relaxing, and having acupuncture studs on my ears was very reassuring, as I could press on them when feeling panicked. They were my safety net. I used acupuncture again after a six month break to relax me for my next holiday by plane. It took two sessions.
It took me a while to pluck up the courage to make the first appointment. I would say give it a try."

"My experience of acupuncture with Al has been a huge gift to me. I started to receive treatment in a state of high anxiety and stress, facing many challenges, and in a place of transition, but the healing I received, the strengthening, the restoration of energy and the bringing of balance into my body and life has been very beneficial. I always left the practice feeling restored. I highly recommend acupuncture, (this was my first experience), and Al in particular."
