Western Medical Acupuncture
This evidence-based treatment uses fine needles to stimulate nerves and muscles, effectively managing chronic pain and various medical conditions. Based on anatomical and physiological principles, it addresses issues like migraines, sciatica, and digestive disorders. Patients often experience significant symptom reduction after initial sessions, with lasting benefits through complete treatment courses.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
A natural alternative to Botox that improves skin tone and reduces wrinkles through micro-trauma stimulation. Combines facial needlework with dermal rolling to boost collagen production. Clinical studies show 90% effectiveness in visible improvements after 10 sessions, with additional benefits for overall health and wellbeing.
Menopause Clinic
Specialist acupuncture programme targeting menopausal symptoms like hot flushes and insomnia. Addresses hormonal imbalances through targeted needle placement, offering drug-free relief for women seeking alternatives to HRT. Weekly sessions typically show significant improvement within 4-6 weeks.
Reflexology
Complementary treatment applying pressure to foot reflex points to address systemic imbalances. Helps manage conditions from digestive issues to stress-related disorders. Works by stimulating nerve pathways and promoting natural healing responses throughout the body.
Aromatherapy
Therapeutic use of plant-derived oils to improve physical and emotional wellbeing. Custom-blended treatments address specific concerns from skin conditions to muscular pain. Combined with massage techniques, it enhances relaxation while delivering targeted therapeutic benefits.

What can I say, Ann has changed my life! She truly is amazing at what she does. Not only does she put you at ease and relaxed she has cured of my chronic migraines. I had suffered from these for over 3 months, and not had one since or even a headache. Thank you again Anne :)

I can't recommend Ann highly enough! After over two years of chronic pain, starting with sciatica and ending up with chronic muscle tension which pulled my body out of shape and made movement difficult and painful, over the course of 5 sessions with Ann I've become virtually pain free. Ann is so thorough, she doesn't rest until she's got to the root cause of things, she really listens and tries different techniques personal to you rather than just going through the motions. I am so grateful! And I have found acupuncture really beneficial to my peace of mind too as well as the physical side of things

Report
I was suffering with sciatic pain for almost 12 months it was effecting my right leg each day and I was also struggling to sleep at night with the pain...I knew that I couldn't keep taking painkillers because they was most probably doing me more harm than good...so I contacted Ann we spoke on the phone Ann explained to me the different methods used and what was involved , ...on my first session Ann used battlefield acupuncture and within 10 minutes of being in the room I was pain free I couldn't believe how quickly it took effect ...by my 3rd session I felt like a new person I was out of pain

Ann is amazing!! I went to her as I had a frozen shoulder and was in severe pain with it, I couldnt lift my arm up and had to use my left hand to hold my right arm up. Everyday things were a struggle. However after seeing Ann for a few weeks for acupuncture my shoulder healed - I can move it and use it like I could before my frozen shoulder. I highly recommend Ann so much so I have now gone back to her for acupuncture on my knee and I have full faith that she will be able to fix me again. Thank you so much Ann.
