TESTIMONIALS

"Emily is an incredible acupuncturist. What I love about her work is that not only is she very knowledgeable, but she has an ability to create a space where you can feel safe and truly relax. It's not something you can learn, you either have it or not. If you want to be listened to, understood and treated with care, this is the person to go to." -Katia

“I've been a client of Emily's for almost 10 years, and each time it feels like I experience a deeper level of healing in our sessions. It isn’t just physical - it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply spiritual for me. Emily holds space with such calm and intuitive care that you feel completely safe to let go, trust, and receive.

What unfolded today was one of the most profound 'releases' I’ve ever had: grief I didn’t even know I was carrying surfaced and moved through me, and I reconnected to a sense of true belonging, safety, and love - both within my body and with the Earth herself.

Emily makes this kind of deep healing feel gentle, grounded, and truly accessible. Her knowledge is vast, her kindness is real, and her sessions are true medicine. I am so grateful.” - Anna

“I honestly cannot recommend Emily enough. Having never experienced acupuncture before, I can honestly say I couldn’t live without it. I look forward to my appointments and wish I could have them more frequently.
Emily has helped me through an autoimmune disease, menopause, arthritis and just general life stresses.
As long as she is practising I will be there.” Joanne

“After each Emily’s session of Acupuncture I feel less and less tired and getting more movement with my frozen shoulder. I count every day to my next session as I know that wonderful Emily’s treatments will bring me such a relief from my current health problems.” -Irina

“Emily is fantastic at what she does. Where other people who promised the world had failed me in terms of therapy, Emily has done the opposite with her acupuncture and the way she delivers it in a friendly and warm way which makes you feel totally at ease. Emily has made a huge difference to my outlook on life as when I first went to get her I was depressed and anxious but I knew within ten minutes that Emily was going to be the one to change me back to my positive self. Keep up the good work Emily and thank you for the difference you’ve made to my life, it will never be forgotten. “ -Jonny

“I had no experience of acupuncture before Emily. I thought I’d try it because anything was worth a try. As I said to my husband “I’ll try it for a few weeks. I have nothing to lose”. I’m so very glad I did try. I hadn’t realised how ‘not great’ I felt until now. I feel so much better. It’s like I’ve gone from surviving to actually living. Perimenopause was killing me. My skin is now like new, my chest is no longer heavy, my nose no longer runs constantly, I simply feel so much better. So if you’re contemplating but procrastinating, don’t put it off. Just do it. Thank you Emily.” -Lisa

Emily is a warm, professional, and devoted practitioner who will leave no stone unturned in supporting you to heal and thrive!

“I enjoy my acupuncture sessions with Emily which takes place in a lovely quiet room in her garden. The whole treatment session is professional and relaxing, and the ‘whole’ person is treated, not just the injury. Emily offers good advice and I would definitely recommend her to others.” -Kathryn

A wonderful relaxed and peaceful studio to receive treatment. Emily is an absolute treasure and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is very kind and calm whilst being professional. The treatment received is very holistic and changes your life for the better.” -Emma

“A neighbour recommended Emily to me whilst we were chatting about my prolonged neck & shoulder pain which was causing cervicogenic headaches. I had already tried strong painkillers and physiotherapy, but this didn’t resolve the problem. I was initially a little apprehensive, but I am so happy I decided to go ahead. Emily’s welcome was warm and comforting, she put me at ease straight away. Her knowledge and professionalism is very reassuring and she creates such a calm and relaxing environment. The acupuncture and light message I’ve been receiving has greatly helped to relax my muscles & significantly reduced my headaches and I’ve also gained an understanding what is happening within my body. I look forward to my sessions with Emily and highly recommend her.” Karen

Not an easy thing to achieve - but Emily does this so naturally & reassuringly that I always feel totally safe in her care.

Thank you & bless you Emily.” -Steve

“Emily's expertise in acupuncture and massage has been of enormous help in treating my neck and back pain. Her warm personality immediately puts one at ease in her very well-equipped and calm treatment room, and her advice on diet and exercise has been most useful. I'm so glad I found her!” -Barbara

“Emily treated both myself and my partner during 2 rounds of IVF. Her treatments and kind words of support and advice were invaluable throughout. My partner was a sceptic but couldn't believe the all round benefits he felt from treatment. I have since been to Emily to support me with a range of mental and physical issues and ALWAYS come away from treatments feeling improved. She is a rare gift of a person with such a kind manner and talented acupuncture skills. (We also ended up with a beautiful gift of a healthy baby too!)” -Lucy

“More like a treat than a treatment! Emily has wonderfully magical hands and I highly recommend the Brightwood practice. A cosy treatment room, easy access and a warm, loving atmosphere.” -Vajragupta

“I have been seeing Emily for 18 months as part of my fertility journey, which has felt long and very hard at times but Emily has been so supportive. She has addressed many other issues not just fertility to support me and various components of my health and well-being. I would thoroughly recommend Emily and the treatment she offers.’ Laura

“I had a series of acupuncture sessions with Emily last year. Right from the start I felt that I was in good hands, at ease and relaxed. The room was pleasant, the table you lie on was comfortable, and Emily was always ready to make any adjustments that you might need - vary the temperature, add or take away a pillow or blanket, open a window, turn the music off. Nothing was too much trouble, she really did have my well-being at heart. A very kind woman and very skilled. I'd never had acupuncture before, and was a bit nervous about the needles, but I hardly noticed them going in! Each treatment left me more relaxed and open than I had been when I arrived. Highly recommended.” -Peter

“I originally went to see Emily for aching joints, which she has helped enormously. She has also over the years treated other problems with so much care and attention. I always leave her treatment room feeling relaxed “ -Jo

“Emily is warm, friendly and incredibly caring. She helped me through a tough time with migraines, anxiety and pregnancy sickness using her extensive knowledge and kind hearted nature. She is very knowledgeable in her field. She is reassuring and always very supportive in my sessions with her. Her room/workspace is inviting, clean and a relaxing space to unwind. I will definitely be visiting again in future! I have and will always recommend her as an acupuncturist to family and friends. Thank you, Emily for all of your help and support over the years.” -Claire

“I went to see Emily as I had severe sweating in my head and neck which was. Very embarrassing. I have had the problem for years and the hospital and doctors have been unable to treat. I have had 3 sessions with Emily and the results have been amazing.” -Bridgett
