Chronic Fatigue

I have been suffering from chronic fatigue for approx. 14 years. My energy levels were very deficient. I had frequent muscle aches, alternating body temperature and frequent colds. I have now been seeing Heidi for over 2 years and am currently on a maintenance treatment every 6 weeks. Although I am not 100%, I have found the acupuncture keeps my energy levels more stable providing that I pace myself and don’t push too hard. I am much better at getting on with my daily life than I was a few years ago.

Sinus Congestion

I suffered from sinus congestion for a couple of years. I felt like I had a permanent cold, my nose was frequently blocked, and I had a lot of catarrh. I was also prone to frequent colds. I decided to give acupuncture a go. Heidi treated me with acupuncture and cupping therapy on my back. She also gave me some beneficial advice regarding foods to cut down on, making the symptoms worse. After a few sessions, my nose felt clearer, and I noticed I had less catarrh. I now go for seasonal acupuncture sessions.

Arthritis

I have arthritis in my hands and fingers. Sometimes they can become very painful and swollen, especially in cold, damp weather. I had a course of acupuncture as part of my pain management. Not only did the pain in the fingers reduce, but I also found that because I felt better overall, I was more able to cope with it. I do daily exercises for my hands and fingers to try to keep them as mobile as possible. Feeling much better overall.

Smoking and Facial Acupuncture

by daimon I was a heavy smoker, and I was also very stressed due to my long and erratic work hours. When I turned 50, I managed to quit smoking but wanted to use a natural approach to improving my appearance. I had a course of facial acupuncture for this and was very pleased with the results. I felt much more relaxed and less strained overall which had a knock-on effect in my face and skin. The acupuncture and other techniques (massage, derma roller, jade etc.) helped improve the blood circulation in my face, thus reducing the long term effects of smoking which improved my overall appearance. I have maintenance sessions when I can now. Thank you.

Diabetes Control

by daimon I was diagnosed with diabetes 6 years ago and was prescribed metformin to regulate my blood sugar levels. I wanted to try a more natural approach and had a course of acupuncture with Heidi. I already knew what I should and should not be eating, but really struggled with my sweet cravings. I would often eat far too many biscuits and sweets of an evening mostly due to boredom, which impacted my blood sugar levels. In addition to the acupuncture, Heidi gave me some useful advice on what to avoid to keep my blood sugar levels more stable and manage my cravings. She also used auricular acupuncture, which had a positive impact on my sweet cravings, but it helped balance my blood sugar levels. This resulted in me needing less medication which I was pleased about.

Tennis Elbow

by daimon I have been a keen squash player but was plagued with tennis elbow for 4 months approx. I decided to rest up and have some acupuncture treatment to alleviate the discomfort. Heidi used a combination of acupuncture and massage for a few sessions. The treatment significantly helped me, and as long as I don’t overuse my arm when I play squash, it is more or less back to normal.

Menopause

While going through the menopause, I suffered from frequent night sweats, low mood and constant tiredness due to not sleeping properly. I was advised against taking HRT as I had had breast cancer the previous year, resulting in a mastectomy. Acupuncture helped me through this period of my life. I felt better overall and more able to cope with the hormonal fluctuations.

Plantar Fasciitis

I came to acupuncture as a last resort as I have had plantar fasciitis for a few months. A combination of acupuncture, electro-stimulation and massage helped considerably. Walking is now not such a pain!

Stress

I was feeling very stressed out after the break-up of my marriage. I had lost a lot of weight due to lack of appetite, felt very low and generally run down, so I decided to try a course of acupuncture. It definitely played a part of getting my life back on track and helped me through a difficult transition in my life.

Hay Fever Relief

I had suffered from terrible hay fever for several years. A friend recommended me to Heidi, and I went during the middle of the summer when the symptoms were at their worst. After a couple of sessions, these subsided, and I was able to go outdoors more. I have been having ongoing maintenance treatment and have found that I get fewer symptoms – runny nose, red itchy eyes and scratchy throat and now enjoy the spring and summer seasons much more than I used to.
