I had been suffering from chronic PMT since my early 20’s. I am now mid 30’s. This had an impact on my relationship with my husband. A friend recommended acupuncture, and I contacted Heidi and set up some sessions. She advised to come weekly for 6 sessions and then monthly a week before my period for a couple of months. The benefit has been very worthwhile not only to me but the rest of my family!
I had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 and was given Tamoxifen. The side effects of the Tamoxifen were quite unpleasant – sweating, sleep problems, constant hunger and weight gain. I had heard that acupuncture could support people with cancer, so I decided to try it. The treatment helped reduce the side effects of the medication. Heidi also used auricular acupuncture (ear acupuncture) in addition to body acupuncture to help regulate my appetite which resulted in me having more control over my weight. The treatment, coupled with some guidance on helpful eating habits worked a treat. I am no longer taking Tamoxifen and I feel I have come out the other side of challenging period in my life.
I came to Heidi for help in coping with my fibromyalgia symptoms. I had struggled for quite a while in the run-up and after the diagnosis with muscle and joint pains and sleepless nights.
Acupuncture has turned my life around. From visiting every week, I now attend once a month. The pain is tolerable, and I am now sleeping through the night.
I had acupuncture alongside assisted conception treatment. It really helped me relax through this stressful process and reduce the side effects of the medication involved. I now have a beautiful baby boy.
I had been diagnosed with PCOS and had an irregular menstrual cycle. After trying to conceive for one and a half years without success, I decided to try acupuncture. After a couple of treatments, I felt more relaxed, and my cycle regulated after a course of treatment. I managed to fall pregnant soon after.
I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility back in August last year after trying to conceive for 32 months. I felt helpless, frustrated and a little scared about the prospect of putting myself through IVF.
I had heard of people having acupuncture to help infertility before and decided to try, wanting to regain some control of my situation and revive my fading hope.
I met with Heidi, and we discussed my diagnosis. She was very knowledgable and as well as performing acupuncture. She also gave me invaluable advice about monitoring my temperature for ovulation.
On receiving Heidi’s acupuncture treatment, I can’t describe it, but I felt instantly at ease and began to feel positive about the future. She was reassuring every time we met, and I instinctively knew that her treatment was helping me.
Two months later, having had several weekly acupuncture sessions, I discovered I am pregnant (baby due in July). I am so grateful to Heidi and urge anyone else who is contemplating treatment to give it a go. Acupuncture is a very mysterious treatment, but I can tell you from experience in my case it definitely helped.
