Testimonials

"I am a very fit sixty year old lady who has suffered with Sciatica since 2007. After trying various treatments, I decided to give Acupuncture a go in 2009. My experience has been extremely positive. This year I ran the London Marathon and I am certain my acupuncture treatments helped me achieve this very important goal in my life. Mandy works to a very high standard and I admire and respect her work and highly recommend the treatments."

"I went to Mandy for help with my fertility treatment. I had undergone 3 unsuccessful rounds of IVF and suffer from unexplained infertility. On seeing Mandy I was reassured that I was in good hands, she explained to me that Five Elements acupuncture treats the whole self not just the symptoms, and immediately felt positive effects from the treatment. I had a series of treatments and Mandy and I worked together to get me some sort of cycle. I am now expecting my first baby and am certain that Mandy's holistic approach and encouragement was key to our treatment."

"I came to see Mandy after having recurring sinus pain for around 10 years, and trying lots of other things to alleviate it, but with very limited success. Amazingly I noticed significant improvements after about 4 treatments. Despite entering a particularly stressful time (which normally triggers worse pain) I have continued to see improvements, with both the frequency and severity of pain reduced massively – in fact I often now forget that I ever had a sinus problem!
I have also noticed other ‘niggles’ around my body have improved and I have increased energy levels – all due to the holistic nature of the treatments and Mandy’s skilled and supportive approach – this has been a real bonus! It is always a pleasure to see Mandy and the treatments themselves are very relaxing, and something I look forward to, even though I now don’t need them so often. Thanks Mandy for getting me through this difficult period as well as treating my sinus problem."

"Mandy took a really conscientious and caring approach to my symptoms, looking for the root cause. I was pleased with the noticeable improvement in my symptoms and Mandy's commitment to my well-being. Her interest and enthusiasm for acupuncture is evident and I would not hesitate to recommend her."
Julie, Chester

"I approached Mandy to help me with acupuncture as I was preparing to become a bone marrow donor for my sister. As I was new to acupuncture, Mandy's treatments went at the pace that I was comfortable with. I found her easy to talk to and she helped me to get to the root of my problems. I had treatment and within a few sessions things had changed for the better."

"I started acupuncture with Mandy to see if it would help my eczema. Although at first I was little apprehensive about the treatment, Mandy soon put me at ease. Not only have the sessions improved my eczema, I feel much calmer and less stressed. This has really helped at work and my life in general. I really look forward to my appointments with Mandy. After a chat to assess how I am feeling, she then chooses the right acupuncture points to leave me feeling fantastic. I couldn’t recommend Mandy and her treatments highly enough."
Aileen, Chester

"Since having a mere two sessions I’ve noticed such a massive improvement in my whole wellbeing, energy levels and reduced symptoms that I seriously think Mandy is a miracle worker! It’s been like coming awake after a long hibernation. Mandy is so warm and welcoming, yet professional and I felt at ease straight away with her. Thank you, I can’t wait for more."
Deb, Chester

"As someone who dislikes even taking paracetamol this was a welcome alternative. Mandy is very perceptive, dedicated and skilled Practitioner who listens and assesses the needs of the patient as part of a continuous programme of treatment. The actual Acupuncture has a mystical quality affecting the body as a whole and is difficult to explain but the end results are quite simply remarkable. 5* Highly recommended."
Steven, Chester

"I was struggling with a persistent knee injury that was preventing me from running and taking long walks. With some skepticism I started the acupuncture sessions but, after only four consultations, the problem had disappeared and I’m fully fit and active again. It has been a revelation to witness the success of the treatments, allied to the wide ranging, detailed and well-informed advice and guidance that has boosted my overall well-being. I cannot recommend Mandy’s work highly enough."
Roland, Chester

"A colleague suggested acupuncture to me for a stiff and painful knee. Mandy Laing was extremely well qualified (something I was particularly keen on) and I was impressed by her very thorough preparation and planning of my treatment following a comprehensive consultation on my symptoms and general well-being. The results from the treatment are very good. I have not had to take painkillers and the swelling and the stiffness have gone. Mandy also discovered I had high blood pressure and referred me to my GP. I have made several adjustments to my lifestyle and I am planning to use acupuncture in conjunction with my GP to control my blood pressure without medication if possible."
Fiona, Chester

"In a state of stressed exhaustion, I consulted Mandy Laing for an acupuncture treatment. Her practice was of an exemplary and professional standard. The procedure was painless and extremely relaxing. I left the treatment feeling as if the life had returned to my body. Interestingly, the pain from an injury to my right knee that had been troubling me for six months prior to my treatment, resolved overnight. I would thoroughly recommend a consultation with this highly skilled, conscientious Practitioner".
