“Despite the pandemic, I have never once had the slightest concern of being at any risk. Valerie takes safety very seriously.
Her professional appearance and the way she conducts herself means I would definitely recommend her.”

Valerie has been superb throughout. As someone new to acupuncture and TCM she made me feel immediately comfortable, and her careful, thorough approach means she is able to use treatment to help me in a holistic way, for example, supporting my recovery from Covid post-viral exhaustion as well as treating my migraines.
Her advice is always comprehensive and detailed, including clearly explained recommended supplements and an opportunity to reflect on lifestyle issues that may be impacting wellbeing and any areas to prioritise, but always in a non-judgemental way.
I would highly recommend Valerie. Her expertise combined with her compassionate, holistic approach makes her a gifted practitioner, and the results of her treatment have been fantastic.”

I was told our fertility issues were due to male factors that I could do little about, and was feeling a bit down about it. I was also apprehensive as to whether acupuncture would help. All of my sperm factors improved gradually over the course of the journey and now we are expecting our first child. Working with you allowed another voice and another perspective on other related issues that could be contributing to male factor infertility and I am glad that we investigated most of your suggestions. The acupuncture work also created a calming safe space where for the duration of the needle work I wasn’t preoccupied by other life stresses allowing my kind to focus on positive thoughts. Thank you for all of your help and support. I would recommend you to others if they needed similar help.

I first approached Valerie after becoming concerned about my short cycle lengths and how it could be impacting our attempts to conceive.
Following an in-depth consultation, Valerie provided insightful advice on my diet, supplements, lifestyle plus some handy tips and tricks. No question was too silly.
After working hard to make some big changes alongside weekly acupuncture sessions, my cycles adjusted and I’m pleased so say I’m now 16 weeks pregnant. Like many women, getting to this point has not been straight forward for me and the amount of information out there is overwhelming.
I decided to build a team of support and I have found working with experts like Valerie to be invaluable. I’m very grateful to her and would recommend her services to anyone who needs help navigating their way through the fog.

“My husband and I first started seeing Valerie in November 2020. We had been trying to conceive through IVF (ICSI) since 2016 and had suffered four miscarriages, as well as two unsuccessful embryo transfers. By October 2020, we had no more frozen embryos and no explanations of the causes of the miscarriages, so we decided to do some research ourselves and contacted Valerie. As well as the acupuncture, Valerie gave us a wealth of other information and advice. After our first appointment, she gave us a comprehensive report with all the tests she recommended we have and where and how to do them, specific dietary and supplement suggestions and other lifestyle changes to make. She referred us to a fertility nutritionist who was also incredibly helpful, and she gave us a huge amount of emotional support in addition.
