BREECH BABY TREATMENT

I came for acupuncture treatment for breech baby. Emma also used moxibustion, and sent me home with what I needed to continue self treatment at home. The initial process of booking in was very easy, quick and efficient. My practitioner, Emma, went through everything step by step and I knew exactly what to expect. She is extremely knowledgeable on her area of expertise and I felt any questions I asked were answered thoroughly. It was also interesting to see how various parts of the body are linked through this treatment method. Having this treatment at The Acupuncture Lounge was a lovely experience all in all and I came away very relaxed and feeling positive. Emma was lovely and very helpful throughout my whole treatment.

IMPROVED SLEEP and REDUCTION IN MUSCLE PAIN

I came to The Acupuncture Lounge for help with muscle injury, poor sleep and stress. I must admit that I was slightly worried about the process but I soon settled into the treatment sessions and it's been a good experience overall. The treatments have really helped me de-stress and helped a lot with my sleep. I went from 1-2 hours sleep a night to about 6-8 hours!. I was even falling asleep during treatment and it has helped a huge amount to relax me. Acupuncture has also helped with the muscle inflammation and strain and reduced the swelling and pain in the muscles. My overall health seemed to improve along with my mood and I felt like a new person by the end of my treatment. I would DEFINITELY recommend treatment. There is absolutely no pain or discomfort during the treatment that I worried that there might be and I would happily go again for any issues or injures.

DM
DIGESTIVE ISSUES AND ACHING MUSCLES BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL

Before coming for acupuncture I was suffering from quite a long list of ailments. My muscles were very achy, my back and shoulders in particular. Also, I was experiencing various unrelenting digestive issues which were having a real impact on my everyday life. I was often feeling anxious about my health and feeling generally unwell. I wasn't sure what to expect from acupuncture before I tried it. I was open to new types of treatment for my problems and so was excited to give acupuncture a try, especially after hearing such good things about it. My main reservations however, were that the treatment might be painful, that the practitioner might not understand my problems and the treatment overall might not have any impact. Coming for acupuncture has been a real joy. It's been like going to see a good friend who listens and understands you, genuinely cares about you getting better and helps you to heal from physical complaints you are suffering from. I really can't fault the process in any way. If I had to pick one, the best result from coming for acupuncture has been the amazing progress I have made with my digestive complaints. I have gone from having severe daily issues with my digestive system to only really having problems when I stray from advice that has been given. I feel much more in control of my health now and know what I can and can't do if I want to feel fit and healthy. I'd also like to mention how my muscles aches having also improved dramatically since coming for acupuncture, I would say my muscles aches have reduced by 85- 90% in just 7 sessions. I've learnt how acupuncture is so much more than just inserting needles into one's body. Emma listens to your problems and really cares about helping you. She takes the whole situation into account and puts together a treatment plan that suits her patients specific problems. In my case, I'm so glad I chose Acupuncture to help me recover, and I'm even more happy that I chose my new good friend, Emma to help me along with my recovery. I can honestly say I'm feeling ten times better than I did before I started!

PM
REDUCTION IN STRESS LEVELS AND IMPROVED SLEEP

I came to the Acupuncture Lounge for treatment for work and family related stress and suffering with poor sleep and snoring. Acupuncture is a wonderful treatment and Emma is the utmost professional. She listened and not only administered acupuncture but at times, felt like a counsellor. I felt reassured that she was concerned with my whole well being. Every treatment was wonderful and Emma is very caring and listens to her patient's needs. I cannot recommend the Acupuncture Lounge highly enough; from the email and text messages confirming appointments to the relaxing atmosphere and treatments and of course the results - my stress levels have decreased immensely and my sleep pattern is much improve. I also have a better understanding of the workings of my own body and how to look after it better.

CM
RELIEF FROM POSTNATAL ANXIETY AND INCREASE IN ENERGY

I would just like to say a big thank you to Emma for her professionalism, her trust and her magic needles! I came to Emma as I was suffering from postnatal anxiety (I have never suffered from anxiety or depression before so this was a bit of a shock!). I received help from my GP which worked but I did not get the sense that the doctors understood the complex nature of what I was going through and I felt I needed more than medication to help me. Emma was a great listener who valued my every word and never once made me feel like what I was saying was 'stupid', she understood! The acupuncture itself was relaxing, therapeutic and most of all - it worked! -not just on my anxiety but on my whole self, my hormones actually feel balanced and I have more energy! I would definitely recommend, give it a go!

EK
IMPROVED SLEEP

I came to The Acupuncture Lounge due to lack of sleep; this contributed to me feeling very jittery, having a very poor memory and being unable to concentrate. I felt so relaxed during the treatment and having never experienced acupuncture before I was very pleased that I tried it out. I can now sleep and function much better and many of my related symptoms have improved. I would tell anyone who is experiencing health issues that you have nothing to else and everything to gain by trying acupuncture treatment at The Acupuncture Lounge.

J Holmes
MIRACLE CURE FROM VIRUS AND COUGH

Emma was recommended to me following no relief from conventional treatments. I felt so ill and quite rotten! My cough and virus went after 4 treatments - wonderful!! I had brilliant treatments and they cured what I went with and I certainly wouldn't hesitate to go again for help with anything. Emma is so professional and so pleasant to chat with - she seems to know exactly what your needs are. My advice to anyone considering acupuncture is; %3FOh my word, just go for it!%3F To me it's a miracle and going to The Acupuncture Lounge is such a lovely experience in very pleasant surroundings

Mrs Maureen Arnfield
ENERGISED AND RELAXED AT THE SAME TIME

Emma, I can't thank you enough for all that you have done so far. My weekly session of acupuncture has made such a difference to me already; I love my relaxing hour at the Acupuncture Lounge and the after effects of leaving feeling refreshed, recharged and happy! I have felt a massive difference in my health and recurring illnesses and problems are most definitely starting to ease. I came for treatment at The Acupuncture Lounge as I was rather down and had recurring problems where affecting my mood quite drastically. The whole process of having treatment was a lovely, friendly happy experience and for me the best result I have gained from my treatment is knowing there are other options for me - I do not need to rely on regular medication to fight my condition. Acupuncture makes me happy, it gives me energy, yet relaxes me at the same time - INCREDIBLE!! Never let fears or doubts hold you back from trying something that could, quite literally, turn your life around in such a positive and natural way. And for those scared of needles - it really doesn't hurt!

Mrs KL
WALKING UNAIDED AND WITHOUT PAIN WITH A HAPPIER OUTLOOK ON LIFE

I hobbled into The Acupuncture Lounge on crutches with a torn ligament in my knee - unable to walk unaided. The swelling under my knee began to reduce and the pain on walking was better after each treatment. After my course of treatment, I can now walk easily on the flat without swelling or pain, something which I haven't been able to do for a long time. I had had Acupuncture before from a Physiotherapist but not Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture - I found it amazing. I really looked forward to my treatments - the process is calming and relaxing and the staff are so lovely, kind and professional. There is always a lovely, calming atmosphere and Emma is so knowledgeable. She is a wonderful healer and I finished my treatment feeling calmer, less stressed, happier with life and more positive. I have had amazing results - thank you.

Mrs DG
LIST OF PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN TREATED SUCCESSFULLY

When I came to The Acupuncture Lounge, I had a whole list of things I needed help with! My health was not good; I was struggling with knee pain which restricted my movement, had reduced energy levels, stress was a problem and my digestive system was not working as it should be. The process of coming for treatment was easy; well organised and an all round good experience. I want to thank Emma for helping me - all of the ailments that I came to her with have been treated successfully and this has massively improved my quality of life. My course of treatment has left me feeling less stressed, so much calmer and chilled.

Mrs SG
FACIAL PRESSURE AND ANXIETY REDUCED

I turned to acupuncture for help with bad facial pressure and suffered slightly with anxiety. I didn't feel that acupuncture treatment was common and had a perception that it might not work. However, I'm so delighted that I enjoyed coming for each treatment session and the results speak for themselves - a reduction in the facial pressure and my anxiety. I have definitely got more of a general calm feeling and I feel more relaxed on a day to day basis as a result of my sessions with Emma. To anyone who is looking for help and doubtful about acupuncture treatment - definitely give it a go because it works.

Mr OD
MIGRAINE RELIEF AND IMPROVED SLEEP

I came to Emma whilst suffering from migraines, headaches and fatigue. Not only did I see a huge improvement in my migraine frequency but benefitted from the added bonus of greatly improved sleep. I found the whole process of coming for acupuncture treatment a lovely experience and a very relaxing treatment. Following my course of treatment I now feel more relaxed and able to cope with stress and also think more about what I eat and drink after lifestyle and diet advice to improve my quality of life. To anyone who is considering having acupuncture treatment, I would say 'Give it a try!'

Mrs AF
SNORING REDUCED DRAMATICALLY AFTER COUPLE OF TREATMENTS

I just want to say my experience at The Acupuncture Lounge is great; Emma puts you at ease from day one and talks and treats you like a friend. All the staff have been really nice and there's a very relaxed atmosphere. I went to see about a snoring problem that I had that despite surgery and many hospital visits had failed to be sorted. My snoring was terrible - louder than a smoke alarm and now it's a quiet whistle! After only a couple of sessions with Emma I had a dramatic improvement and she also treated my general well being which lowered my blood pressure to such a level that I don't need blood pressure pills anymore. Emma has also offered me diet and lifestyle advice. I look forward to my treatments and didn't need to have reservations about the needles hurting. I have a better general feeling of well and being and would tell anyone to 'go for it' - you'll feel better.

Mr Michael Cross
PAIN RELIEF AND IMPROVED MOBILITY

I have had acupuncture at other clinics but they paled into insignificance once I found The Acupuncture Lounge. From the first time I walked in to enquire I was impressed by the ambience - it calmed me. I was put at ease initially with the process of how the course of treatment works there being explained very professionally. I was kept fully informed of each step and all my questions answered (and I do like to know the ins and outs of everything!) I came for pain relief and help with my mobility and am now almost pain free and have much more mobility. My experience has surpassed my expectations and I cannot praise Rebecca enough for her treatment plan and would recommend treatment here wholeheartedly.

Mrs Barbara Long
ANXIETY AND SKIN ISSUES AT THEIR BEST AND FEELING WELL AGAIN

I came to The Acupuncture Lounge for help with a number of problems: anxiety, disturbed sleep, skin problems, allergies and chest/breathing difficulty. I have got relief regarding anxiety, breathing/lung irritation, less inflammation, improved sleep and less nightly toilet trips! My symptoms are relieved and greatly reduced; I feel very well again - the best I've felt for 4 years. Emma supported me throughout my treatment, which involved sourcing supplementary advice from a fellow practitioner, who has also advised me and offered support. I feel I can continue to maintain my good health and well being and can look forward now, thanks to the lovely Emma and her team. I would highly recommend Emma; her treatments have been an outlet for emotional issues as well as physical and would, without hesitation, book my whole family in for treatments, I am sure they would all benefit.

Mrs ST
RELIEF FROM PELVIC, GROIN AND BACK PAIN WITH RELAXING TREATMENTS

Before coming to Emma for treatment, I'd been suffering pelvic, groin and back pain for approx 4 years. After countless hospital tests and scans, nothing had actually been diagnosed and I'd also received Physio and Osteopathy treatment all without much success. I was looking for relief to my problems and I was running out of ideas. I knew virtually nothing about acupuncture and what was involved so I suppose the idea of using needles may have deterred me. This proved to be an unnecessary reservation, as my treatment was absolutely painless, I can only say having acupuncture treatment has been excellent. From my first appointment to my last Emma has shown a deep interest in my condition, explaining in detail about each treatment and also being an avid listener and showing much patience. I've felt totally relaxed at every visit. Please give it a go, out of all of the various treatments I've received in the past from different health professionals I've found that acupuncture has benefitted me most.

Mr BB
RELIEF FROM 20 YEARS OF SHOULDER AND NECK PAIN

I went to see Emma with some long standing issues (over 15/20 years!) after trying nearly every other different method to get some pain relief. Following a course of treatment on my shoulder/neck/elbow I'm delighted to say my pain and discomfort levels have reduced by 80% and some days I'm pain free. I used to take painkillers regularly but since treatment I can't remember the last time I took any. The other issue that I have had treatment for: I used to take a prescription drug every 2 to 3 days. Since treatment and diet advice from Emma, I have only had to take 2 tablets in 7 weeks... AMAZING! Emma is totally professional, very caring, makes you feel at ease and you feel she is in tune with how you feel. After being a bit sceptical before coming to The Acupuncture Lounge, I would definitely recommend Emma and acupuncture - don't leave it to the last option like I did.

Mr IB

I also slept through the night for the first time in 3 months without taking any medication. I have learned a lot more about Acupuncture in the process of my treatment and I am glad to be so much better. Rebeka is very knowledgeable about her subject and I was extremely pleased with how empathic she was. She is also very careful and professional. She is extremely personable as a person and I really liked her, but most of all I trusted her. I would certainly recommend her to others most highly and I would say Go for it as I certainly found it beneficial. I would be very happy to be treated by her again, so I may well be back!!

Mrs SH
PAIN RELIEF AND ABLE TO WALK WHILST SUFFERING WITH NEUROPATHY

Before I came for Acupuncture I was a little anxious and had fear of the unknown; however, the process of coming has been excellent! I have been treated with kindness, care and respect on every visit; from the warm welcome on arrival to leaving after treatment. I have felt contented, relaxed and happy and all the staff are keen to ensure that there is a tranquil atmosphere for patients to enjoy. I decided to come for treatment because I had run out of conventional options and I was in extreme pain. I suffered from neuropathy, dizziness and trouble with balance and so being able to actually walk steadily from the treatment room to the car after my treatment and having pain relief was a great result. Rebeka always treated me with a gentle, encouraging manner and we soon built up an extremely good rapport. She went way above and beyond what was expected doing lots of research into my neuropathy, in her own time. You may have preconceptions in your mind about the size of the needles and the discomfort - you will be amazed how wrong these thoughts are! The treatment will give you confidence and a sense of well being, no matter what your ailment is. DON'T HESITATE - JUST GO FOR IT!

Mrs MP
SHOULDER PROBLEM RELIVED and SLEEP IMPROVED

Before I came for Acupuncture my situation wasn't great I had a chronic right shoulder muscle problem/strain that was aggravated by driving and playing golf to the extent that I could not sleep on my left side without the strain either preventing me getting to sleep at all or waking me up quite quickly. It was also there during waking hours so it was just a major nuisance that needed sorting. Despite a series of physio treatments which did reduce the problem but it kept returning. I was a little sceptical about acupuncture until the effects of my 1st treatment were immediately obvious. I've found the process of coming for Acupuncture Great, it was Very professional, friendly and the pre treatment session to identify not just the ongoing problem but the causes of that problem were very reassuring. I felt completely informed at each step of the process, Patricia was my practitioner and she was absolutely professional. Throughout my treatments she was constantly wanting to understand my progress. Particularly regarding how my sleep was improving (and it was and continues to be a lot better). Not only has it produced relief from the problem, my sleep is better and I am more aware of things I can do to maintain that situation. I now know that there is a treatment system that can and will provide long standing relief from my shoulder/back discomfort - and its on my doorstep - peace of mind really. To anyone who is considering trying acupuncture, I would say Absolutely give it a go, I was unsure and so much better for "giving it a go". I would thoroughly recommend the Acupuncture Lounge treatments to anyone. The depth of the pre-treatment interview/assessment was an indication of the treatment I subsequently received. Professional, targeted and successful - what more can anyone ask?

Mr ET
15 YEARS OF SINUS AND CHEST PROBLEMS UNDER CONTROL

Before coming for treatment at The Acupuncture Lounge, I had suffered with sinus and chest problems for more than 15 years. With Emma's professional treatment, help and advice, both through acupuncture and suggestions regarding my diet, I feel that I have now got the problem under control. I no longer rely completely on the medication that I had been taking for all those years and my overall health has benefitted too. Emma's friendly manner, combined with her expertise makes the whole acupuncture experience very relaxed and beneficial

Mr SA
SINUS HEADACHES GONE!

I was suffering from debilitating sinusitis on a regular basis. All methods tried without any success. Antibiotics not an option. The process of coming to me for Acupuncture has been excellent. Full evaluation made. Explanation of treatment. Care taken. I now have no headaches and I'm sleeping great! The Acupuncture Lounge is a lovely professional environment the time is truly allocated to care of the client and a resolution of the particular problem/illness.

Mr MJ
ANXIETY REDUCED and ECZEMA ALMOST GONE

I came to see Emma with low mood, anxiety and eczema. Since having treatment all symptoms in respect of mood have decreased considerably, before acupuncture these symptoms were apparent on a daily basis and this has reduced to 2-3 days per month on average. With regards to eczema, this has greatly improved and in majority of areas has all but disappeared.

Mrs SS
SHOULDER PAIN GONE

I'd been suffering with anxiety, shoulder pain and digestive issues for a long time before seeing Emma. I worried that Acupuncture would be painful and that Emma would try to sell me lots of herbs! Which you didn't of course :) Going for Acupuncture has been very relaxing, I have enjoyed the treatments very much and I found the whole thing very interesting. I have no more shoulder pain anymore which I am amazed at! And I feel more relaxed. Thanks for all your help and advice, I will look forward to seeing you again.

Mrs RM
I AM NOW IBS FREE

Before I came to see Emma I had had a particularly stressful few years, with a lot of emotional turmoil. I had a lot of feelings of self doubt and feeling trapped in a very downward cycle. My IBS symptoms were getting me down. I had symptoms after every thing I ate. I thought I was eating a healthy balanced diet, and couldn't understand why I felt so awful. Visiting the Doctors only produced prescriptions for tablets for my Acid Reflux, IBS, Post nasal drip. I was very reluctant to take these medicines, I felt that there was a link to food, but I didn't know what. I didn't have any reservations about seeing Emma, Discovering that yes there was actually something that I could do to help myself came at just the right time for me. I was beginning to feel that maybe I was over exaggerating my symptoms and that it was just all in my head! You very much feel on your own trying to make sense of what is going on in your head and with your body. Meeting Emma who had also gone through a similar journey of discovery and healing was just great! I now feel Like I am now controlling my IBS rather than it controlling me. I have discovered a new way of eating that is healthy and "do-able" which is very rewarding. I like the feeling of having more energy and feeling more wide awake and just generally feeling good about myself has given me more confidence. I have discovered that I actually have a very strong mind! When I started seeing Emma I was feeling very low, but just the first few simple food/diet/lifestyle changes soon started to make a difference, which really boost you and leaves you feeling like I WILL BE IBS FREE! There is also an added benefit of loosing a few excess pounds, my skin and nails are looking better. This is a real confidence booster which makes you want to continue on this healing journey!

Mrs AJ
ROSACEA IN REMISSION

Before I came for Acupuncture I was confused and lacking an understanding about the connectivity between different aspects of my condition and the various functions of the body. Understanding which can only come from taking a holistic view of the body. I was uncertain about whether or not Acupuncture would be an effective treatment, but it has been quite a learning experience and just as importantly a successful outcome! My original problem was the early development of rosacea which the treatment has put into remission. Other results I have got are a deeper understanding of the role of diet plus a holistic understanding of the body and the significance of the diet in contributing to a wide range of conditions. I'm really pleased I decided to give acupuncture a go as its helped me understand more about the importance of taking a holistic view of my lifestyle. Emma has a great approach that keeps you engaged and informed throughout your treatment and just as importantly gets results! I found Emma very professional but with a nice style which made me feel at ease and comfortable discussing both my specific condition plus any wider stress and energy level issues.

Mr MH
SCIATICA RESOLVED and FEELING STRESS FREE

Wish I'd gone years ago! After suffering for months with painful Sciatica, to which physiotherapy and painkillers provided no relief, I decided to go to the Acupuncture Lounge. I was immediately impressed with Emma's knowledge, her friendliness and her overall professionalism. After completing the health questionnaire, Emma identified, quite correctly, that in addition to the Sciatica I was also under a high level of stress. Emma therefore recommended a course of treatment which would simultaneously treat both conditions. After only 3 sessions my Sciatica had gone and my sleeping had greatly improved. As the treatment went on my stress levels reduced dramatically, even to to the point where my family and my work colleagues commented on the the change in me. The treatment itself I found to be very relaxing, so much so that I would often fall asleep. Emma has a wonderful caring nature and will make you feel like you're her only patient! She has an extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine subject and can also offer advice on diet or lifestyle changes. I can thoroughly recommend her.

Mr T F
COMPLETELY FREE OF PAIN!

DON'T HESITATE! I went to the Acupuncture Lounge of my own volition after various G.P.s and Consultants had failed to identify my particular problem. It was evident from the start that the Lounge was professionally run. I completed a very comprehensive questionnaire on my medical history, which enabled the acupuncturist [Emma Kemp] to formulate a treatment plan. Over a period of weeks Emma targeted particular areas of my body which provided me with considerable relief from pain. Having gone back to my G.P. to inform him of my experience with acupuncture, he did some research, and I eventually received a definitive diagnosis. In the light of this, Emma was able to provide very specific treatment, and after two or three further sessions I was completely free of pain. I found the overall experience very pleasant and relaxing. Acupuncture doesn't hurt despite needles being inserted into your body. Emma is a kind and caring person. She has an excellent knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in general. She is a good listener and remembers what you have previously discussed. She is also very good at explaining what is happening in your body and what the proposed treatment will do. She provides ready advice on such things as diet, vitamin supplements and improvements you can make to your lifestyle. I have no hesitation in recommending the Acupuncture Lounge to you. You will not be disappointed.

Mrs WA
FIBROMYALGIA PAIN GONE, 10LB WEIGHT LOSS and LOVELY SOFT SKIN

Before I came for Acupuncture I was in a lot of pain with my back and fibromyalgia and sinuses and my energy was very low, I also had lots of spots on my back. I didn't have any reservations about having acupuncture as I had tried it before a few years ago. The process of coming to Emma for Acupuncture has been a very pleasant experience and very relaxing, Emma makes you very welcome. Since starting acupuncture my energy levels have improved a lot by taking Emma's advice and altering my diet I have lost 10lb in weight, and its still going down. My pain is a lot more manageable as well. So far I have had 7 treatments, I have another 5 to go and I will be keeping it up at least once a month after that. I am pleased with the weight loss, my spots have cleared up and I cannot get over how my skin is now very soft instead of being as ruff as sand paper, it has been the best choice I have made to have Acupuncture.

Mrs PS
5 YEARS OF SHOULDER AND KNEE PAIN RESOLVED

5 years ago I began suffering with long-term pain especially in my lower back and neck. I was on strong painkillers and anti-inflammatory tablets so I could keep on functioning but my condition became worse. I was eventually retired early due to ill-health (osteoarthritis). I tried various treatments such as physiotherapy but it did not help that much. My neck and shoulders were constantly tensed up and inflexible. I had chronic back pain and my knees would sometimes swell up. Acupuncture has been a very pleasant experience. I felt better after every session and the fact that Emma concentrated on all my troublesome joints in turn has been great. I felt very relaxed and comfortable during treatment which I think is important. The 'cupping on my neck and shoulders certainly made a difference, loosening up my shoulder muscles. I can't remember any shoulder pain since that time. I have also had no further problems with my knees since your treatment. My neck and lower back still trouble me on occasions but certainly not as bad as it used to be. I very rarely now use Paracetamol or anti-inflammatory tablets for joint pain. I think that Acupuncture has also provided a psychological lift as I feel much happier these last few months. To anyone who is considering trying acupuncture I would strongly advise them to give it a try. I would also advise them to give it a fair crack of the whip as it may not work immediately for everyone. Emma I appreciate very much all you've done to help me during this time.

Mrs KJ
LIMP RESOLVED, PAIN REDUCED AND NO LONGER NEEDING A KNEE BRACE

In April 2015, I had an arthroscopy on my right knee. It didn't work as well as I would have liked with the result that I now suffer with quite severe pain in my right knee. I have also developed a limp. NHS have been unable to reduce that pain and are talking about breaking my leg and resetting it to redistribute the weight that goes through my knee. I did not want this and started looking round for an alternative. I decided to try acupuncture and contacted the Acupuncture Lounge. I had to fill out a form on line and was then contacted by them when they had appointments available. After a free consultation in which they assessed that I could be helped I was offered a six session course which I decided to take. The acupuncturist, Patricia, was welcoming, professional and explained all that she was going to do. The appointments were all on time and I found them to be beneficial. Whilst not cured the acupuncture has certainly helped my condition and I would have no hesitation in recommending it as a treatment. The Acupuncture Lounge is modern, clean and there service was first class.

Mr GS
MIGRAINES REDUCED

Before starting with acupuncture I was having migraines every 7-10 days and had been like like for several months. I had associated symptoms with these and particularly struggled with fatigue from the migraines. I didn't have any reservations about trying acupuncture, I was looking forward to starting the treatment and seeing how this could improve my symptoms. Seeing Emma has been really positive for me. I felt as though the initial assessment appointments were really detailed and valuable in getting to the route of my symptoms. The acupuncture itself has always been well explained and a calming and relaxing experience. I have been having acupuncture for nearly 4 months now and have only had 3 migraines in this time. The effects were immediate and have had a really positive impact on my work and social life. Now that I am having migraines far less often I feel like my energy levels have improved and I'm not constantly worrying that I will have a migraine. Emma has also given me lots of lifestyle advice re diet etc to help with symptoms and these have also helped. If you are considering trying acupuncture I would say definitely give it a try, the experience is really positive and Emma spends a lot of time listening and getting a full picture of your health to get to the bottom of the symptoms.

Mrs HR
FEELING LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON - REJUVENATED, FREE FROM STRESS, ANXIETY, IBS and SLEEPING BETTER!

Before I came to the Acupuncture Lounge for treatment I was stressed, tense and had anxiety, trouble sleeping and problems with IBS and other symptoms. After my Free Health Consultation I didn't have any reservations about going for Acupuncture, it has been a very relaxing and calming experience. All of the symptoms above seem to have been mitigated in some way or another. I've been told by my friends and work colleagues that I seem to have a smile on my face more often than not, my partner says I am a different person, and I feel rejuvenated. If you're considering acupuncture I would say go for it and give it a try - give the tablets up!

Mrs RA
FEELING RELAXED and SYMPTOM FREE

Just to say thank you! I can only try to put into words how grateful I am to Emma for everything she has done for me. From the very first appointment and every single step along the way, she has made me feel so special and cared for I feel like it was impossible for me to not benefit from the process even without the acupuncture bit! She always remembers the little things, from how many pillows you like to what plans you had a week last Saturday! And the little chats we would have before the relaxation part would always lift my spirits and put me in a good mood! Emma's knowledge is unbelievable and the way she explains how things work is fascinating and makes so much sense, you really start to see things a different way and realise how things within the body logically effect other parts. The acupuncture itself was an amazing experience and the most relaxing treatment I have ever had. I looked forward every week to my appointments and saw them as a real treat for myself, the health benefits and the face I am pretty much symptom free were a bonus really! I am absolutely convinced acupuncture is an amazing effective treatment that absolutely works. The way I feel just six weeks down the line was worth every penny and I truly feel that having Emma provide the service with all her knowledge and genuine care only added to this amazing experience.

ANXIETY GONE AND DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMS CONTROLLED!

I can't recommend Emma enough! After just over a months worth of treatment, I feel so happy. Emma is helping me with both anxiety and Coeliacs disease and IBS. My anxiety was ridiculous 12 months ago. I can honestly say anxiety hasn't crossed my mind in well over 2 weeks. I can now enjoy life and conquer hurdles I never would have attempted in the past. My symptoms are under control and Emma is helping me develop a healthier and happier lifestyle. Her advice, support and professionalism is beyond words. Thank you Emma, you have and are giving me the ability and support to enjoy life again!

BACK PAIN GONE AND STRESS LEVELS REDUCED

Emma is amazing, from start to finish she made you feel relax which was a massive help. I have always suffered with a bad lower back after lifting too much heavy materials on site. This came to a bit of a head when working too hard and lifting far too much to the point where just putting my socks on in the morning was a challenge. In steps Emma, started off with acupuncture and then this advanced into cupping. Something I had only heard a little bit about but it was brilliant. No pain and now I feel great. I will be booked myself back in soon just for a stress reliever as it is amazing at getting rid of tension!!!!! Would and have recommended to many people already. This lady is going places in a big way!!!

I WENT FROM ONLY BEING ABLE TO WALK 300 YARDS, TO COMPLETING 1 AND 3/4 MILE CASTLE WALK!

Two years ago I was diagnosed with degeneration of the spine, which curtailed my hobby of walking. Following various treatments of Physiotherapy, wearing corsets and exercises I was still the same and was advised to try acupuncture. The offer of a free health consultation from Emma Kemp was too good to miss (what did I have to lose - nothing) Walking through the entrance to the lounge in bridge street was refreshing and to meet Emma for the first time, I soon found a young lady who was kind, courteous, considerate, compassionate, professional and had a sense of humour. I had only walked 300 yards of a 1 and 3/4 mile walk I desperately wanted to do, and despite interruptions because I had pneumonia and had a lung infection (yes Emma helped that too) with the help from Emma and the treatment, I managed the whole walk, and as Tina Turner says "Simply The Best", well I think Emma Kemp is simply the best.

ARM, ELBOW, NECK and SHOULDER PAIN COMPLETELY GONE!

Before I came to see Emma for Acupuncture I had lots of aches and pains, mainly in my arm and my elbow joint, along with back and neck pain, and shoulder tension. I'd had a bad bout of pain similar to it many years ago that resulted in me being in bed unable to do anything. I didn't want the same to happen again. After each session of acupuncture my pain reduced, and by the 5th session I only had some pain in my elbow joint, and after 10 sessions I am completely pain free. I found acupuncture very beneficial, relaxing and restorative, and I am looking forward to some monthly treatments for maintenance and relaxation.

NERVE SENSATIONS NORMALISED, AND WALKING IMPROVED!

Following surgery for bowel cancer I was left with a major problem with my right leg. The muscle co-ordination was very poor, the leg was hypersensitive and I had to use crutches to walk. Seeing Emma has been a very pleasant experience. She has been very considerate, sympathetic and always strives to achieve the best results and is willing to go the extra mile. I was worried that acupuncture wouldn't work in my situation, however I found the who experience most helpful, and relaxing. I can now walk with the aid of a stick and the normal feeling and sensations have returning in my right leg. I can without hesitation recommend the services of Emma to anyone in need of Acupuncture

DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS UNDER CONTROL and ACHING MUSCLES REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY IN 7 TREATMENTS

Before I started seeing Emma for Acupuncture, my main problems were digestive issues and aching muscles. I was desperate to find a type of treatment that would help me recover from these problems and help me to get my life back. I'm pleased to say that I found the treatment I was looking for. I have gone from having severe daily issues with my digestive system to only really having problems when I stray from Emma's advice. I feel much more in control of my health now and know what I can and can't do if I want to feel fit and healthy. I'd also like to mention here how my muscles aches have also improved dramatically since coming for acupuncture, I would say my muscles aches have reduced by 85%- 90% in just 7 sessions. I can honestly say I'm feeling ten times better than I did before I started! I've learnt how Acupuncture is so much more than just inserting needles into ones body. Emma listens to your problems and really cares about helping you. She takes the whole situation into account and puts together a treatment plan that suits her patients specific problems. In my case, I'm so glad I chose Acupuncture to help me recover, and I'm even more happy that I chose my new good friend, Emma to help me along with my recovery.

2 YEAR HISTORY OF SINUS PROBLEMS RESOLVED IN 2 TREATMENTS

I decided to have acupuncture after a friend told me how much it had helped her. I'd been having sinus problems for about two years which caused me headaches and bad facial pain. This in turn made me feel almost constantly tired and lethargic. When I came home from university I googled acupuncturists in the area and phoned Emma. After my first appointment I began to feel improvements and by the second my facial pain had completely gone and I had so much more energy. Emma really listens and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Miss EH
BACK PAIN GONE AFTER 1 TREATMENT

"Every winter I find myself suffering from back pain, I came to see Emma and was treated with Acupuncture and heat, I found the treatment very relaxing and the back pain went after just one treatment. Emma also gave me some advice to stop it returning next year which I will follow. Hopefully it won't come back but if it does I will be straight back to see her. Thank you."

Mr LM
SHOULDER PAIN REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY IN 10 TREATMENTS

"I'd just like to say thank you. Following the course of 10 treatments I feel so much better, thank you for taking the time to listen and understand then explain how the treatment would work and what will happen at each stage. I would recommend you to anybody with any physical problems, aches or pains about arranging treatment."

Mrs NM
I COULD DRIVE AGAIN WITHOUT PAIN

I drive a modified vehicle with a steering wheel spinner knob. I was getting pain in my forearm whilst driving that was getting progressively worse. In addition I was not able to put any weight through my hand without experiencing the pain. I had 3 treatments with Emma and the pain disappeared completely. Emma also gave me tips on how to prevent a recurrence."

Mr PS
NOW ABLE TO LIFT AND HOLD MY HEAD UP

"18 months ago I found I was unable to hold my head up, it was making breathing difficult and I was also suffering from high blood pressure. In the last twelve months having had a chest X-Ray, ECG, MRI scan, Physiotherapy and an Asthma test, to be told it was wear and tear in my neck, and there was nothing that could be done came as a shock. I wasn't prepared to go through the rest of my life not able to lift my head up, so decided to give Acupuncture a try. Emma has been treating me for a few months. She listens, and explains why she puts the needles where she does. It doesn't hurt, and isn't frightening. My blood pressure is now spot on, and my head stays up longer, I'm certainly getting better instead of being written off. I look forward to my visit every week. Going to Emma it's like having a new friend. If you decide to go for Acupuncture go in socks not tights, as I did on my first visit. This is a truthful account of how much I have been helped.

Mrs EM
MY FIRST FULL NIGHTS SLEEP IN 8 YEARS, AFTER 7 TREATMENTS

For the past 8 years I have not been able to sleep through the night. It took me a long while to get to sleep, and I always woke through the night, unable to get back to sleep, I would get so frustrated I had no option but to get up. After just one or two treatments I was finding it easier to fall asleep and was waking less, by the 7th treatment I had my first full nights sleep in 8 years - this can only be down to Emma's Acupuncture treatments."

Mr LP
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME NOW CONTROLLED

"I was sick and tired of having stomach problems, medication for IBS didn't seem to help and it had got to the point where I was scared to eat out, and was no longer enjoying eating at all really. Emma was recommended by a friend, I went to see her and found Acupuncture really effective. Emma gave lifestyle and dietary advice too which really helped me realise triggers to my problems. I now feel in control of my symptoms, and much happier. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone with IBS or other stomach problems."
