Contact Alex

  • I am really grateful for you support during my pregnancy and your sense of humour which helped a great deal to get me through.

    Daniela

  • The positive effect of the treatment was felt immediately after the first consultation and I have continued to benefit from the treatment I received.

    Bruce

  • Well my baby arrived on time on the 24th of June and he really is a bundle of joy. We are all very happy with him. I just wanted to thank you for all your support during my pregnancy. I’ll miss my acupuncture sessions but I’ll call you I’m sure

    Carla

  • Following a stroke 5 years ago I often experienced severe neck and shoulder pain. Now after treatment I rarely feel pain. I feel my circulation has improved and I am now quite robust, avoiding colds etc. .

    Janet

  • I would certainly recommend it, especially if more physical forms of therapy such as osteopathy, have not yielded results.

    John

  • I came to you with a sore heel only to have you indicate the problem stemmed from a longstanding back problem and in went the needles. After only two treatments I am already feeling the benefit. You are thorough and knowledgeable.
