Testimonials
"I was recommended to try acupuncture to alleviate the chronic morning sickness that I was experiencing from about week 6 during my pregnancy. I had tried everything and nothing helped to stop my vomiting from the moment I woke up to the moment I lay back in bed again. I was beginning to lose my mind and grip on reality as throwing up 8-10 times a day while trying to hold down a full time job was just wearing me down. My doctor referred me to the maternity mental health unit whereby I was referred to counsellor who wanted to read my head and discuss possibly family upbringing trauma!! I really did loose it then, I was sick before I was sick of being sick!!!!! If that made any sense?
I couldnt have been more surprised when met by Lee-Ana who was a friendly, calming and empathetic individual, yet remaining very professional. The whole process was extremely calming and Lee-Ana made me feel extremely comfortable the entire time checking that I was OK before moving onto another pressure point. The actual needle process is simple and required a gentle tap into each pressure point which for me I didnt even really feel. Absolutely no discomfort. If anything my only reaction was a little europhia. I was so relaxed and it was nice to not vomit for 45 minutes!
I can sincerely say that accupuncture for me worked within 24 hours. The vomiting stopped overnight. Not completely but from 8 - 10 times a day to around 3 times a week!!! AMAZING!
I am now 31 weeks as I write this and must say I am in a totally different frame of mind. In fact I must book in again with Lee-Ana to get ready for childbirth now!! She seriously was a life saver for me and I could not recommend her services more." P.R.
"I decided to seek the services of Lee-Ana as my body was a little out of tune. I have been undergoing a course of acupuncture with Lee-Ana for some weeks and I am absolutely delighted with the enhanced sense of wellness I have felt as a result. A.F

Lee Ana's service is exceptional. She is professional, gentle, caring, understanding and friendly to name a few. She is always the first person I recommend for all kinds of illnesses or just for those needing help to achieve balance and well being (She has successfully treated my whole family with a myraid of different ailments!).

Lee-Ana strikes the right balance of offering a relaxed, yet professional service and I felt like I could completely relax during the treatment.
I went to Lee-Ana after a referral and for the purpose of trying something a bit different as I embarked on my second round of IVF. I believe that having acupuncture has had a very positive effect on my latest IVF treatment, both from a physical and emotional perspective and I'm thrilled to say I'm now 14 weeks pregnant! M.G
In my case I would recommend Lee-Ana's treatments especially if you are dealing with infertility, have complex needs, or just generally need to take time to focus on your wellbeing. Lee-Ana achieves excellent outcomes in a respectful, honest and constructive way. Lee-ana is highly skilled, professional, very calming, insightful and therapeutic in her responses and treatments. It is difficult to describe her ability to make you feel calm, and she remains empathetic though realistic when dealing with complex (and often sad) situations. N.M

I was diagnosed with ‘trigger thumb’ and referred to a specialist for surgery. I was in a lot of pain, and my thumb would constantly ‘lock’. Prior to having the surgery a friend said I should try acupuncture, at least as a ‘last resort’ before going ‘under the knife’. I postponed the surgery, and attended acupuncture sessions with Lee-Ana.
I had never had acupuncture before and I ‘hate’ needles. I noticed a small difference after my first consultation, but was not quite sure. After the second and subsequent sessions, I was left in no doubt that the acupuncture was making a ‘huge’ difference. It took ten sessions of acupuncture, amazing massage and Chinese therapy, and the trigger thumb was healed. In addition to this, there were the wonderful side-benefits of feeling less stressed and an overall enhanced general well-being.
When I went back to my GP to let him know and to cancel the surgery, he said he had ‘heard that this treatment could be effective’; I am still not sure why he did not recommend, or even tell me about it. I cannot thank Lee-Ana enough for her care and expertise with her treatments. If I had not been to see her I would almost definitely have had surgery, which I have heard, in some cases causes more problems. S.T
I was having problems getting prenant with our second child and was advised by friends to try acupuncture. I was very sceptical at first about acupuncture but that changed when I fell pregnant soon after getting treated by Lee-Ana.
Also as well as helping me get pregnant, Lee-Ana helped me to focus on reaching deep levels of relaxation and getting my body in a more healthy state.
I would highly recommend Lee-Ana to anyone - she is extremely welcoming, calming and professional.
Thank you Lee-Ana for your amazing work - we are extremely happy with the outcome - today we have a beautiful, healthy little boy called Joshua thanks to the remarkable work from Lee-Ana. L.C
