Client Testimonials: Personal Experiences with Acupuncture

“I found Vanessa during the last few weeks of pregnancy and feel very glad that I did! She has such a lovely warm, caring nature, I knew I would be in good hands from the very first appointment. She took a detailed medical history and made me feel calm and empowered during each session. She also followed up with helpful info on acupressure points to use during labour and also nourishing foods for postpartum. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone!”

“I first went to Vanessa for help with persistent pregnancy headaches, and I’m so grateful I did! From my very first session, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly thorough in her approach. She took the time to understand my symptoms and has adjusted treatments as needed. Thanks to Vanessa my headaches are gone, and I’ve felt so much better overall since starting acupuncture. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate practitioner!”

“I can't recommend Vanessa highly enough. She is warm and caring and made me feel totally at ease, calm and protected around my IVF experiences. I left each session feeling as prepared and relaxed as I could be during a very stressful time and I'm so grateful to her for giving me peace! She is a wonder.”

“Vanessa is very patient and really wants the best for her clients. Acupuncture with Vanessa has really helped my mood/energy/sleep after giving birth! Highly recommend.”

“I cannot recommend Vanessa highly enough. She has helped me with infertility issues, almost eliminated all my PMS symptoms which I had very severely, and made every session both energising and relaxing. Her professionalism, kindness, and constant support—both during treatments and through follow-up advice—make such a difference. I always feel comfortable and cared for. I'm very grateful for the constant help and encouragement she has given me along the way.”

“Vanessa is absolutely wonderful! I've been seeing her for a few months now for bad PMS and I can already feel my symptoms lifting. From the start, she instantly created a comfortable space for me to talk openly about my concerns. She made me feel confident about the experience by asking me lots of questions about my lifestyle, and since then, at our regular appointments, she checks in to see how I'm feeling. More than anything, she's just so lovely and kind and makes the experience so relaxing and calm. Highly recommend for anyone interested in acupuncture, but especially for women's health.”

“Having suffered from hemifacial spasms and trigeminal neuralgia for many years I decided to look into acupuncture as a way to help relieve my increasing pain and symptoms whist awaiting a second brain surgery. I was a little sceptical but have to say that Vanessa is the most wonderful practitioner. The acupuncture has helped my symptoms immensely and reduced my severe headaches to just maybe one a week rather than almost daily and the spasms have reduced considerably. I just wish I had started sessions earlier rather than suffering for so long!”

“I really love Vanessa’s acupuncture treatments. She takes great care to understand my needs at the beginning of each session and adjusts her treatment to that; she also communicates her reasons for her approach very clearly and knowledgeably. There are conditions that I had thought that I would have for a lifetime that have significantly improved over the last three months of acupuncture with Vanessa.”

“Five stars is not enough for Vanessa! Her warm and caring nature made me feel so comfortable and it immediately felt like I was talking to a friend. I came to her after experiencing a trauma and after seeing her my mood, sleep and anxiety felt balanced and relaxed. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone who is looking into getting acupuncture.”

“I've been getting acupuncture for over 10 years, and when I moved to Marylebone I found Vanessa's calming energy and approach was exactly what I was looking for as I navigate a personal health journey. She works to understand what I am solving for long term and what my body needs each session, and every time I see her I get what I call the 'relaxed acupuncture float'."

“Vanessa is a healer and completely professional/passionate about her work. She was tremendously helpful to me while I was working in London and I’m very happy for having met a great acupuncturist- she was also exceedingly understanding with my situation/work schedule, which didn’t always function perfectly with our getting together. But she’s a lovely person who’s only wanting to heal her clients and give them the best possible outcome. Thanks so much, Vanessa!”

“I find acupuncture very helpful with chronic cystitis, stress and other related issues. Vanessa is always very professional, attentive and caring - she methodically gathers information about my state and adjusts treatment depending on this week’s needs. I feel very safe and I see great improvements. Thank you!”

“I decided to have a series of acupuncture treatments to improve my immune system prior to surgery. After each session I felt nourished and energised. Vanessa is an excellent practitioner, she has a very kind, personal approach; she listens carefully and responds appropriately. She creates a calm, relaxing atmosphere. An excellent, holistic experience, that I highly recommend.”

“Vanessa is an excellent acupuncturist. She is very intuitive and does a thorough assessment of your overall health prior to addressing your ailment. She has a very empathetic nature and truly listens to you. My health issue was resolved within a few sessions. I followed Vanessa’s advice and health tips which I feel have benefited my overall general health too. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone seeking support with any health issues.”

“The best acupuncture I’ve had. Vanessa is very friendly and attentive. She makes you feel very calm and relaxed during the session. I went there to help with anxiety and insomnia. After a couple of sessions, I feel much more calmer and sleep has really improved. Highly recommend !!”

“Highly recommend. My first acupuncture facial and certainly not my last. Vanessa was amazing, incredibly knowledge and made me feel so relaxed. I loved how prescriptive this treatment was taking into account your energy levels, where you are in your cycle and skin concerns. My skin was glowing, smooth and tight. A mini facelift. Can't wait to go back!”

“Vanessa is warm, welcoming, and highly professional in every aspect. And who knew facial acupuncture would be so relaxing? There was little to no discomfort and my skin still feels and looks amazing days later - I'm constantly receiving compliments for my glowing skin! I also slept better that night than I had in ages. I highly recommend Vanessa and can't wait for my next appointment.”

“Excellent treatment with Vanessa, she gave me a thorough facial acupuncture treatment targeting all my areas of concern. She has a lovely aura and very calming presence. My skin looked excellent the day after. Would definitely recommend this treatment and her body acupuncture (I have since booked 3 further sessions). Thank you Vanessa!”

“The most wonderful acupuncture facial with Vanessa- it was so relaxing and my skin was so much brighter and hydrated after! I loved the effects of the Gua Sha tools as my face was definitely more lifted and sculpted! Thanks Vanessa.”
