Testimonials“At 41, I was desperate to get pregnant, but had suffered from 4 miscarriages, and my FSH was high. I finally decided to try acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and went to see Claire. Within a couple of months my FSH levels normalized, and a month later I was pregnant. There were no complications, and I now have a healthy baby daughter. I am a great believer in Chinese medicine as I have no doubt that it led to the conception and birth of my daughter….I am so grateful to Claire and would recommend her to anyone I know.” Jane, 41, high FSH and recurrent miscarriage
“I had suffered from crippling migraines since childhood and had been prescribed pharmaceutical medication to control them. I didn’t feel happy taking drugs, however, and wanted to get to the root of the problem. I had heard how beneficial acupuncture could be for headaches and migraines, and so I went to see Claire, who had been recommended to me by a friend. I was amazed by the effects. After years of recurrent migraines, I have now not had a migraine in 2 years.” Jeremy, 28, migraines
“Claire is a highly professional and skilled practitioner, whom I would recommend to anyone without hesitation. Having never had acupuncture before, her knowledge and experience immediately inspired me with confidence. I followed a programme of treatment with her, prior to undergoing IVF. My periods soon became regular, my period pain disappeared almost completely and I felt in better health than I had for years. I am now happily pregnant with twins after my first attempt.” Michelle, 38, infertility and IVF
“I was suffering from terrible anxiety, palpitations and panic attacks, when a friend suggested I go and see Claire. She was fantastic and immediately put me at my ease. She was so understanding and supportive and easy to talk to. She gave me acupuncture, which I found wonderfully relaxing. I was quite astonished by the results. I immediately started to feel better, and, after just a few sessions, I was feeling like my old self again.” Denise, 46, anxiety
“The power of Chinese medicine is amazing and I only wish I had turned to it sooner. I had been diagnosed with PCOS and my periods had stopped for a year. My doctor suggested I went on the pill, but that didn’t seem to me to be the solution. I had read a lot about the success of acupuncture in promoting ovulation in cases of PCOS, so I decided to give it a go. Within 3 months I had a period, and I have been having regular periods ever since. Thank you so much, Claire, for making such a difference!” Jade, 32, PCOS
