I suffered from severe hayfever, my summers were unbearable, made me asthmatic too. Tried all western antihistamine, none helped. Bea subscribed me with a mixture of natural remedies. Apart from occasional sneezes, my hayfever has gone away. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks you Bea!

Being a smoker for a long time and having tried differents methods I confirm that my sessions of acupunture with Bea have been very beneficial to me. In a few weeks I really decrease my consumption. Very professional, calm and attentive Bea is always available to follow her patients and help you reach your goal.

I've been seeing Bea for the last year for fertility assistance, after being recommended to her by a friend. Bea is a total professional, very knowledgeable, warm and approachable. She treats people with a very individual, patient-centred approach and I'd highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have acupuncture treatment to help with fertility. (And yes I'm now pregnant!).
