Conditions helped by Acupuncture and CHM
Please have a read this New testimonial:
"Catherine came highly recommended to me through a trusted friend who had been visiting Catherine for treatment for many years. When I met Catherine, I had been through three difficult years in trying to conceive and had undergone three surgeries within that time to diagnose and remove Endometriosis in the hope it would help with my fertility struggles. I was also soon to start IVF treatment and in addition had some issues with my gut health and hormones.
Upon meeting Catherine I instantly felt a sense of calmness and warmth, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease to share details of my health and how I was feeling. I felt like I had found someone who really wanted to help me!
Catherine explained in detail how acupuncture works and how she was going to help me in trying to conceive, improve the chances of IVF success and feel better in general. In the days after each appointment I really noticed a difference in my health and wellbeing; my gut issues and hormone imbalances were improving and in turn my anxiety was more controlled and general mood was more positive.
We had a successful outcome with our IVF round and I believe that Catherine's treatment and support significantly improved our chances of success!
I cannot recommend Catherine enough for her expertise, warm and personable character and her passion for helping people! She is a wonderful person! ". BK10P44 05.November 2023

"Dear Catherine, Thank you so much for providing me with the best treatment. Every session you made me feel relaxed and helpful.
You are a very special person and without your help and guidance I wouldn’t of been here today with my bundle of joy. All my love, Jordana xxxxx"
I am 34 and my husband is 42, I’ve never had any problems with my period and have no health problems. After trying for a year and a half to fall pregnant we decided to try IUI, after 3 failed IUI treatments we then moved onto IVF. At this point I was told my AMH was lower than average but still had a good chance of falling naturally. Starting our first round of IVF we were convinced we would get pregnant and was so excited at the thought of having a baby finally after what seemed such a struggle. Sadly the first round failed and it was apparent my issue was worse than we originally thought, I had very low quality eggs. We only retrieved 3 eggs and none of them reached blastocyst. After a lot of research and looking for an alternative approach I found Catherine, the reviews spoke for themselves and I immediately booked an appt. I was treated for 5 months, I followed all of her advice and found being in her presence calming. I was going through a very dark time and I can’t thank her enough for her positivity, knowledge and hope.
After 5 months of herbal tea & intense accupunture we decided to try another round of IVF and this time it stuck, I produced 7 eggs all with good quality grading and the best one was put back in, 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant.
Hand on heart I genuinely do not feel like it would of happened without Catherine. Jordana Parker 15.Nov.2022. " BK18P58.

NEWS: NICE Recommends Acupuncture for Chronic Primary pain.
April 7th 2021, (NICE) The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published support for the use of both traditional Chinese and Western acupuncture for chronic primary pain. Chronic primary pain is defined by NICE as pain for which no underlying condition adequately accounts for the pain or its impact. (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng193/chapter/Recommendations#assessing-all-types-of-chronic-pain-chronic-primary-pain-chronic-secondary-pain-or-both)
The Clinic provides treatments for a wide range conditions and ailments – please see the relevant page. One of the specialist treatments that I can offer is Stop Smoking - an exceptionally high success rate for quit smoking has been achieved after 5 consecutive sessions.
If you need to take the Chinese Herbal medicine, it will be an additional cost. Directions and dosage of how to take the concentrated granular herbal formula: With the spoon provided take 4 level spoonful’s and mix the powder in half a cup of hot/warm water. To be taken twice daily. I can guarantee it's from the top quality TCM supply company in the UK, approved by the British Pharmacopeia Working Group, Kew Royal Gardens, NHS clinical trials, Universities and regulatory bodies.
Generally speaking, I have had high success results particularly in treating both male and female fertility related issues, pregnancy and gynaecological problems during my 30 years of clinical experience. I have treated so many successful cases, especially during the last 12 years, but everybody is different and needs to be assessed individually. Quite often I use Chinese herbal Medicine too. The individualized prescription herbal medicine is £135-£155 per two weeks. The treatment can last 2 week,or 3-4 months. The herbal granules formula that I prescribe is very easy to take, just like making instant coffee, add just half a cupful of hot/warm water and drink it quickly. All my patient got on well with them, for the taste is not that strong. And also they get used to the taste very quickly.
