Lucy is 45 years old and sought acupuncture to help with back pain. When we chatted initially, she didn’t know the different styles of acupuncture so I was keen to explain my treatment approach.

Lucy’s story highlights the many benefits of Five-Element Acupuncture and by delving into her unique case, I hope it helps to explain the importance of treating the root cause rather than only addressing symptoms.

With a huge amount of gratitude to Lucy for sharing her story, I’m able to provide valuable insights into the application of Five-Element Acupuncture as a holistic approach to patient care and long-term health and happiness.

“I contacted Mandy initially with pain in my lower back due to arthritis, as I wanted to explore a natural remedy to ease the pain. I was impressed with the professionalism of her website and when we talked on an initial call.  I found it really useful and reassuring as I was completely new to Five-Element Acupuncture.

During our conversation, Mandy shared her approach to my treatment, emphasising that she wouldn't solely target my back pain. Instead, she would develop a personalised plan to address both my physical and mental wellbeing, with the goal of promoting overall wholeness and wellness.

I had my first treatment in July 2022, and I’ve never looked back, it’s changed my life so much for the better. It’s given me a great sense of balance and calm. In addition to other strategies such as Pilates and Mindfulness, my Five-Element Acupuncture treatment has helped me to feel more content in myself.  Would you believe it if I told you that I now spend every day doing what I want to do and really being true to myself?

During the Five-Element Acupuncture appointment, Mandy takes the time to learn more about you and understand your aims and where you want to be. This element of the treatment has been extremely beneficial too, giving me the safe space to share my thoughts and be honest in what I’m wanting to achieve. Mandy then tailors the treatment around these discussions.

Mandy’s treatment room is a perfect location, it’s clean and bright with a beautiful aura of calm and tranquillity. Mandy is so professional and talks you through everything, ensuring you understand and are happy and comfortable throughout the treatment.

I would highly recommend Mandy and her Five-Element Acupuncture treatments!

I initially started with weekly sessions and then moved on to fortnightly and now I attend every 3-4 weeks to maintain my health and well-being and a sense of ‘me-ness’.

Mandy is professional, experienced, empathetic and lovely to be around. A truly positive and cleansing experience every time I visit. I always look forward to seeing her and my treatments.”
