Fertlity Acupuncture Testimonials
“Having conceived my son very quickly, I assumed that falling pregnant for a second time would also be straightforward. But as the months ticked by and it just didn’t happen, I became increasingly stressed about the situation and this anxiety was compounded by my concern that these very feelings were making it even harder for me to conceive. I felt that I was caught in a vicious circle that was becoming all-consuming. I knew how lucky I was to already have a healthy son, but I desperately wanted another child and the more time went by, the more obsessed I became.
It was at this point that I began acupuncture sessions with Paul in a bid to regain a sense of perspective and to try to relax about it all. I was immediately struck by Paul’s reassuring, calming manner; he was very understanding and supportive and I felt a great sense of relief to be doing something to address the situation I was in. The treatment was very relaxing and left me feeling serene and back in control of my feelings. Then, much to my amazement and absolute delight, I discovered I was pregnant after only 3 weekly sessions. It felt as though Paul had waved a magic wand - I’m in no doubt that his skill was central to my body relaxing and rejuvenating itself and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

"I feel extremely lucky to have found Paul. I embarked on acupuncture treatment with him 4 weeks before my IVF treatment and it paid off! I'm now 8 weeks pregnant.
Paul was calm, reassuring, positive and knowledgeable about the benefits and treatment, which is most encouraging. My time with him every week was a great time to relax and think positively about the process and Paul creates an environment that allows you to do that.
I'm in no doubt that Paul and his treatment were instrumental in the success of my IVF.”

"I started seeing Paul in January 2006 after trying to conceive for several years. I have had 2 miscarriages and I had been receiving treatment for both from a Consultant practicing Western fertility treatment.
We had resigned ourselves to IVF when my own research led me to to acupunture and TCM as several studies have confirmed its success in increasing success rates during IVF. I think Paul was the first person during my quest to have a baby who made me feel like he could really help me and he seemed in no doubt he would not only help me to conceive before or during IVF but carry a successful pregnancy.
In March this year two weeks before starting IVF I found I was pregnant after a year of trying since my last miscarriage. Paul has been treating me throughout my pregnancy and I feel amazing. I am in no doubt that this is due to his ongoing care and positive mental attitude. My hospital consultant (2nd most successful live birth rate in the UK) always uses acupuncture during treatment.
II would have no hesitation in recommending Paul as he can not only help you to conceive but make you feel less stressed about trying!"

“My first consultation with Paul was based on a recommendation made by another couple who had had difficulty conceiving their first baby. They strongly believed acupuncture and Paul's calm manner had helped them immensely. As anyone who is struggling to conceive will know, a recommendation like this makes you feel like there is hope and that you too can overcome infertility.
From the first time I met Paul I was made to feel at ease with his professional manner. He took a detailed history and did not just focus on the infertility but on me as a whole person, something Western medicine does not do. I was also being seen by a consultant who had diagnosed polycystic ovarian syndrome which was the main reason for my infertility and my irregular, painful menstrual cycle. Within three months of acupuncture my cycles were more regular and I was not reaching for painkillers at all! The treatment helped me relax and gave me a positive focus.
My husband and I decided to try IVF as advised by our consultant; both my GP and the IVF clinic I went to were in favour of acupuncture being used in conjunction with IVF. I had done a lot of research and was encouraged by how acupuncture was found to increase the percentage of successful cycles. Paul saw me throughout the cycle and I had treatment pre and post embryo transfer.
I was over the moon as you can imagine when I had a positive pregnancy test after just one cycle of IVF. I am now looking forward to the arrival of our first precious child and I am truly grateful to have found Paul and for the treatment he gave me and could give you.”

“I first experienced acupuncture after I had been trying for a year to conceive my first baby. When my husband and I decided we felt ready to start our family we had hoped it would happen very quickly. I was fortunate to fall pregnant in the first month of trying, but sadly miscarried. After a further year of trying with out success I started to research more into the routes we could take in our desire to have children. Having had blood tests done and my tubes checked and my husbands sperm count checked, all of which came back fine, we decided to give acupuncture a go.
After spending some time searching online I came across Paul's website and immediately booked an appointment to see him. Within a couple of sessions of acupuncture with Paul I immediately felt more relaxed and able to deal with trying to conceive better than I was. I just felt better and more confident we would have a family. My cycle improved, as did my mood swings and energy levels. Within 3 months of having acupuncture I fell pregnant, and I honestly believe that acupuncture really helped me fall pregnant. I now have a beautiful daughter and the joy she brings is just amazing.
After 4 months of trying to conceive our second child I was delighted to fall pregnant, sadly this pregnancy ended in miscarriage. I immediately called Paul for acupuncture and felt better after one session. My heavy periods and short cycles also improved and within 2 months I was pregnant again. I am now 23 weeks pregnant with my second child and recommend acupuncture to anyone who is having problems conceiving. It helps to make you feel better, gives you more energy and sort problem cycles out.
I highly recommend Paul, who is very calm and positive and makes you feel more positive yourself.”

"Paul has helped me manage my stress and improved my quality of life. I have found that acupuncture has a significant positive effect on my stress levels and I recommend Paul highly."David, 32, Solicitor
"Even as I booked my first acupuncture appointment I assumed that it wouldn’t work for me.
I had suffered from back pain, tension headaches, nocturnal teeth grinding and eating disorders for many years. Several doctors told me that the headaches were the result of curvature of the spine, and therefore incurable; the eating disorders were put down to isolation and the emotional pressures of modern life…so no chance that a few needles could help with any of that…
It’s been about a year since I made that first appointment, and I have been proved completely wrong! My back pain and headaches disappeared after just a few sessions, and - despite all my disbeliefs and doubts – my eating problem has gone, too. I am still living in the same city, the same house, doing the same things as one year ago… and yet my life has completely changed. I have no more tension or pain, I have a normal appetite, and I have found a much healthier balance in life.
I’ve never had a proper menstrual cycle. Since I was sixteen, the only way I could have a period was by using the pill (this might seem attractive to some women, but has implications if I ever want to have children). Paul is also a Chinese Herbal Medicine practitioner, so he suggested we work on this problem also with a mixture of acupuncture and herbs. He wrote a special formula for me that I took as capsules twice a day. After three months I started having a regular cycle, which is still ongoing.
My one regret is that if I had known how drastically my health could be improved with acupuncture and herbs, I would have done this years ago!"

“I first consulted Paul when I was going through the menopause and suffering from night sweats, palpitations, anxiety and insomnia. Paul made me feel very much at ease and able to express my worries in a way that had not been possible with my GP.
His calm and reassuring manner made me feel confident that acupuncture would be effective in dealing with my symptoms and after a course of treatment, combined with HRT, I began to discover the old me. I found the acupuncture that Paul administered to be especially effective in relieving the menopausal anxiety and insomnia.”

“Paul has been treating me for the past 2 years and I have found him extremely helpful in overcoming my many ailments. I originally saw him for problems with my stomach and esophagus - gastric reflux - and acupuncture certainly made a difference and helped to settle my symptoms.
Paul has helped me with lower back pain and given my legs extra strength, enabling me to walk further without pain! He has also given me pain relief from arthritis of the knee, and neck and shoulder pain due to osteophytes.
I have found Paul to be of a gentle nature and a very caring person. He listens to what you have to say and takes into account your emotional state. He is extremely professional yet he extends a personal aura which automatically makes you feel you're in safe hands with someone who knows what they're doing, and who cares for your well being."

"I started having acupuncture to help heal a knee injury. Not only did it cure my knee but it made me feel good generally - a lot less stressed! Now I attend every fortnight for general well-being. I have recommended Paul and acupuncture to a couple of friends now, and would strongly recommend anyone to give it a try."
