“After being diagnosed with breast cancer and then having cancer treatment during the pandemic, I was juggling low energy and low motivation and was quite desperate just to feel better. Although I was on sick leave when I contacted Mandy, I was struggling with home life and feeling constantly tired. Having experienced the wonders and some success with reflexology, I was open to the ancient practice of traditional Chinese medicine. 

Struggling with side-effects

The side effects of cancer treatment are widely known to be; tiredness, nausea and sickness, hair loss, infections, anaemia, bruising and bleeding, a sore mouth, problems with memory and focus, sleep problems and that is not including the impact it has on emotional well-being too.

I reached out to Mandy, because she stood out, this insight was only derived initially from her website, from her knowledge, experience, commitment, and passion for helping people, which was evident.

I was a little apprehensive before I started acupuncture, as I didn’t know what to expect. Whether the needles would hurt? Where the needles would go? And how it all would work?

After I contacted Mandy, my perception was further cemented after speaking with Mandy and has continued to remain proven. Mandy does stand out. For each treatment, Mandy takes time to listen to what has been going on for me. She then tailors each treatment accordingly.”

Five-Element Acupuncture

“No two treatments are exactly the same for me. Mandy’s approach to treatment is geared to the individual and is not one size fits all, which can so often be the case with approaches to health and happiness. 

The treatments take place in a large, light and bright room, which is very clean, and Mandy is meticulous with hand-washing, which all helps to put me at ease. I have found that generally, I have no pain from the needles, only occasionally very minor discomfort. The needles can be placed anywhere really, but Mandy always checks in with me about placement beforehand. I find the whole experience of the treatment relaxing and always feel better afterward.

I have been having treatments with Mandy for 5 months, decreasing in frequency, as my well-being has been increasing. Because of the tangible benefits, I am keen to continue monthly treatments with Mandy. 

She is very approachable and always answers any daft questions that I may have, without making me feel daft! Her commitment to providing the best acupuncture treatment she can may as well be in neon lights flashing around her head, as it's just that obvious. It's not often that I meet someone as dedicated to her work as Mandy, and I will continue to see her for as long as I can. Thank you Mandy!”
