I'm a Cleft Lip & Palate patient and after years of trying different ways to get rid of my deep tissue scars left from surgeries I decided to try cosmetic acupuncture with Nicky. After just a few treatments I noticed a big improvement, I was so impressed I carried on. I couldn't believe the difference, my scars now have faded so much I don't notice them! Nicky has also treated my active acne and has significantly improved the appearance of my acne ice pick scars. Highly recommend!! x

I have had electro acupuncture on many of my joints and found it fantastic. Not only has the pain reduced but it has stayed away. Nicky is very skilled at this. She's good at reading her patients and their needs. I find her generous with her time and very caring. I have recommended her to family and friends.

I first came to see Nicky two years ago when I had Bell’s palsy. Nicky was the only person who seemed to truly understand Bell’s palsy and the only person who gave me hope that my face would recover from one side of it being entirely paralysed. Nicky calmly and confidently would say to me ‘don’t worry I’m going to get your face back’ ….and she did!Currently I’m having treatment with Nicky for another episode of facial paralysis and once again she has worked her magic.Nicky is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable lady.

I have known Nicky for many years and she has given me many many different highly effective quality treatments. She has given me treatments for neck pain, headaches, back pain and hip pain amongst other types of pain treatments. All of them mega effective. Nicky is a very kind, confident and compassionate practitioner. What I like about her is her passion for what she does. You are in great hands.

I have been seeing Nicky for a couple of years now, and she always manages to find the right treatment for how I am feeling and what is going on for me at that time.Her treatments are always highly effective and multi dimensional. Since I have been coming to Nicky she has helped me with a range of issues including high blood pressure, back neck and shoulder pain, digestive issues, and sinus / snoring issues.Whats more I always feel that Nicky is 100% client focused and puts everything in to her sessions.I feel a better and richer person for having gone to Nicky for my acupuncture treatments.

Nicky is a fantastic Acupuncturist who has cured many ailments for both myself and my wife. This includes muscular issues, a badly burnt arm, and many more. I cannot recommend Nicky highly enough.

I would give ten stars if I could. Nicky has a natural humanistic approach to her therapy which is refreshing and shows that she really does care. The acupuncture also helped me with long term skin conditions which I am so thankful for. I was shocked at how quickly I felt better, especially with the years of western meds only masking issues. I can't recommend her enough!

I’ve suffered from nerve pain on the left side of my face since I was 12 years old and in four sessions Nicky was able to completely eliminate the pain. I just don’t know what to say, it’s an amazing and emotional thing for me, since I’ve experienced so much pain before. I haven’t had the pain in years after seeing Nicky but I still visit her from time to time for other treatments. I highly recommend her, she is professional, friendly, kind and very gentle. Thank you Nicky! 🙏🏽

Nicky's treatment for stress and relaxation goes beyond reducing tension - in my experience, it opens up deeper levels of the 'self' to energising, healing, nourishing flows of energy. In addition, I credit Nicky's treatment to support liver function with preventing potentially liver-damaging medication from having any detrimental effects over many months ... Thank you, Nicky!

Nicky is fantastic. She has treated me for several reasons...1. Broken heart - using the Internal Dragon technique, which I found moving and emotional, leaving me with a warm and cathartic feeling inside. Highly recommend if you're still feeling a little blue about an ex-partner.2. Tics - this has been temporally helpful, but far from cured. I have found a lot of benefits from this treatment though, and feel less tension after several sessions. Perhaps a third visit may get rid of them. I certainly have made some improvements and feel good about using a holistic method to treat this, as there are not many alternative treatments for tics out there.Overall, Nicky is very professional and takes the time to get to know you and what treatment is best for you. She gave me a really helpful list of foods which are good for the 'spleen', which I have implemented into my diet, and feel I have made positive changes through this.I have always felt comfortable and inspired during my visits and would recommend her to anyone who like to try an alternative therapy.
