What People Are Saying..

  • Truly exceptional

    Andrea is truly exceptional! Her deep knowledge, compassion and understanding put me completely at ease, even helping me overcome my fear of needles. She takes the time to listen and tailor the treatment, and thanks to her expertise, my issues have completely resolved. I couldn’t feel more supported or in better hands.

  • I was amazed!

    I was amazed by the difference Chinese herbal medicine made for me. My hormonal balance, energy and digestion have all improved, and I feel more resilient overall. Andrea’s knowledge and support made such a positive impact on my health journey.

  • Transformed my well-being

    I’ve experienced a remarkable improvement in my health since starting acupuncture. My chronic pain is more manageable, my energy levels are higher, and I feel more balanced overall. Andrea‘s care and expertise have truly transformed my well-being.

  • Highly professional, extremely knowledgeable

    I have had monthly treatments with Andrea for over 10 years after a back operation. These not only help enormously in reducing pain and improving my mobility, but Andrea‘s regular advice has proved invaluable. She is highly professional, extremely knowledgeable in her areas of expertise, and always has a kind and caring manner. I would, without reservation, recommend Andrea to anyone, secure in the knowledge that they would receive compassionate, knowledgeable care.

  • Thankyou Andrea

    Andrea has been a massive help to me over the years with my menstrual cycle. I’ve been having acupuncture for some time and jumped at the chance to work with her for a prescription of Chinese herbs. I have suffered from irregular and increasingly painful periods, which were really disrupting my life and sleep. Andrea worked with me to prescribe the herbs to help with the pain and regulate my periods, which I’m happy to say. I’m now mostly pain-free and regular. She has been really helpful throughout the process and open to making appropriate changes as my symptoms improved. I was at my wits end over the issues that I had and I’m so glad I took this route because having pain free, regular periods is a blessing. Thank you, Andrea.
