Testimonials
Tiziana has been a great help, friendly. Having an uncomfortable stomach for a few years she has managed to deal with the issue. This has helped improve my day to day life! - Ed Collinson, York
I had an appointment with Tiziana for a trapped nerve in my neck, never had acupuncture before and I was absolutely amazed how much improvement after only one session. Tiziana is so knowledgable, thorough and a very caring professional. I will certainly be back for any further health issues and would highly recommend. - Linyo32 3ry, York

I attended 6 sessions with Tiziana last year as I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. My GP was supportive and referred me to the miscarriage clinic for a consultation but unfortunately my referral was rejected as they do not accept cases of women with less of 5 miscarriages. I had read several positive reviews on Tiziana and the application of acupuncture to support my body in case of another pregnancy and it was 100% successful. Tiziana worked on my circulation and water retention symptoms but at the same time she also worked on the pelvic area and treated a genetic condition I have of varicose veins in my womb. I have happily discovered that I was pregnant last July (2017) and during the last few months I went back to see Tiziana for a further slot of 6 sessions to help me with more varicose veins that came consequentially to the pregnancy. I have been referred (again) to the hospital to see a vascular surgeon as the varicose veins were a prolax of the womb due to the baby weight. After the first 3 sessions the regression of the varicosity was very evident. I was in a lot of pain and it actually totally disappeared. I had a scan prior the acupuncture sessions and another one half way and the consultant confirmed the regression of the varicose vein. I am extremely please with the service I received and will highly recommend acupuncture and Tiziana's support to friends and colleagues every time I have the chance. - Fran Biagi, York
I've had a wonderful experience working with Tiziana on my digestive troubles, and always look forward to my appointments. Tiziana is thorough, very professional and very approachable. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her - you won't be disappointed! - Elise Evers, York
