From the moment I walked into The Jade Centre I felt calm and relaxed . I experienced a sense of tranquillity and peace.
Louise Attwood my acupuncturist is wonderful. She is so kind, encouraging and reassuring. Louise listens carefully and I feel very positive with every single treatment.
Louise specialised in fertility treatment. I have bespoke acupuncture specifically for my individual requirements. She understands completely and I now have hope for my future. I look forward to my treatment, having a little "me time" is priceless. Acupuncture is so relaxing

I had been recomended the Jade centre for acupuncture treatment for joint pains, and other stuff, so i thought i'd check it out. and found a fantastic, small practitioner owned practice, that catered very much for your personal needs/ailments. I had a very thorough initial consultation with 'Louise' the acupuncturist, who was very knowlagable and listened very carfully to what i had to say , then did the pulses and other stuff that Acupuncturists do. I had done a study in the validity of acupuncture in orthopaedics when i did my Ortho certificate, so i had an idea of what to expect
