  • After lots of research and some serious questions asked of several 5 element acupuncturest, I was very pleased to have found Bonnie Barrow. She was an absolute delight to visit and put me at ease from the minute we met. She was very kind, experienced and listened to what both my body and mind needed. I left feeling so much calmer and happier in myself (major inner monster has been calmed) and my energy levels are back up. 5 stars are not enough. If you are seeking balance and calm, I highly recommend chatting to this amazing acupuncturest.

  • I’d like to give some feedback about my experience with Shane Ricketts on Wednesday. I feel blessed to have found him, following a hideous treatment that left me in a much worse state than my actual fall down a flight of tiled, steel edged, steps. I was in a great deal of pain and could walk only with great difficulty. After only one session, my pain was almost halved. Progressively, it is easing. Shane was engaged and engaging as he worked gently on my various painful places. I felt like I was in safe, confident hands. I found his warm, open hearted, transparent approach reassuring and healing. He is a beautiful soul. Your practice is enhanced by his presence. I am recommending him to all I know.

    Christine emailed the practice.

  • I had 3 sessions with Liz for chronic headaches that were affecting my day to day functioning and causing me to take regular pain relief. I now no longer have headaches nor do I require pain relief. She is extremely knowledgeable and methodical in her approach. I highly recommend her.
