Testimonials
"I had a lot of un-diagnosed joint and muscle pains since June 2005 (and the doctors thought it might be rheumatoid arthritis but there was a considerable wait to see a specialist). Being very scared of needles I visited Lily as a last resort. The pain killers that the doctors were prescribing were not having any effect and I was desperate. The Osteopath that I visited also thought that it might help. Lily was very calm and reassuring, explaining exactly what was going to happen. She was very gentle and constantly checked that I was ok. Within five days of my first treatment I was able to walk up stairs without crying and I also stopped taking the pain killers. At a later date I mentioned some digestive problems and these are much better now after one treatment. I also do not sleep very well and get headaches but these are now gradually improving. I have also had an acupressure treatment which I found wonderfully relaxing."

"A friend had just started treatments with Lily to treat her infertility and recommended her. I had tried acupuncture before and hadn't been very comfortable with the practitioner but decided to try Lily anyway. Lily was extremely professional from the very start. I felt she really cared about her work and her patients, and was very understanding and very thorough. She told me I would need at least 12 treatments - by the 9th week, I was pregnant! The treatments made me feel better generally, my periods improved immediately as did my basal body temperatures. It was an added benefit that she is a good listener and helped me work through the stress the infertility had caused. I cannot recommend Lily highly enough, she helped me all through my pregnancy and I am sure the lifestyle changes she recommended helped me get pregnancy again very quickly - I now have two lovely boys!"
