"I first came to see Dimple in May of 2007 when my partner and I had been trying to get pregnant for nearly 18 months. We conceived two children very easily and my third pregnancy ended in a miscarriage in 2005 after conceiving in the first month of trying. It was very stressful and confusing to then find we were having such trouble conceiving again. We were referred to an assisted conception unit and began a round of numerous tests, which did not result in any major factors to contribute to our failure to conceive. As the months went by I became more and more stressed and was often told to ‘relax’ to help conception!

I have had acupuncture at various other times in my life, for example when pregnant with my first two children as I had terrible headaches, and decided to try acupuncture again to try and relax and help prepare my body for the possibility of a pregnancy.

Dimple took a very detailed history of my problems and then proceeded to help me with my stress relief and concentrating on the possibility that I may have endometriosis as I had very heavy periods with many clots. We proceeded with a combined approached of acupuncture, cupping and some Chinese herbs to try and balance my body and relieve stress.

Dimple was and is fantastic! She listened every week to my woes and I always left the session feeling remarkably relaxed and positive. Less than 5 months later I discovered I was 5 week’s pregnant and was delighted! We then moved our sessions over to concentrate on helping my body be best prepared for the baby as the previous miscarriage was in the back of my mind. Again, after each session I left feeling very positive and recharged. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and still see Dimple to help remain calm and positive and to promote well-being for my baby.

It has been an emotional year for me and I am so grateful for Dimple for her emotional and physical support, she is a truly lovely lady and I always look forward to our sessions, which are now every fortnight. I would recommend her to anyone who is having trouble getting pregnant and I truly believe it is with her help that I am now pregnant and looking forward to the coming months."

"I have arthritis in my knees and after being on pain killers I thought I would give acupuncture a go as I was told it relieves the pain especially if you have few treatments. I went to Dimple knowing that she had qualified in Traditional Chinese Medicine and felt reassured with her attitude and explanations of the treatment.

I was very nervous the first time round as I did not know what the needles were going to feel like. Dimple took her time in understanding my nerves and did everything at my pace. There was no pain and after the treatment my knee was free of any pressure and pain for at least two weeks. My body lost excess fluid that I suffer from and generally my health was showing a positive sign. I know that through further treatment my pain will decrease and I will be able to walk without feeling like a 90 year old.

"For over 5 years now I have had a recurrence of cysts in my breasts. I have had 2 operations to remove cysts that have been at the point of being malignant and have been fortunate to avoid the big C so far. However, due to the frequency of the cysts, I suffer from constantly painful breasts. Although draining these gives some relief, the pain never goes away.

I went to Dimple for acupuncture in order to help relieve the pain. I have found that after acupuncture I am free of pain for days. I have had full body acupuncture from Dimple too, and I find that this relaxes me and gives me a total feeling of well being. Dimple has also used the 'cupping' technique (made infamous by Gwyneth Palthrow!) and this has helped to cleanse the system and pinpoint areas of stress. All in all, I would thoroughly recommend Dimple for her caring manner and effective treatment method."

"I have been seeing Dimple for acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for the last 4 months. I originally went for the treatment of stretch marks which I was left with after steroid treatment as a child. Since seeing Dimple the marks have improved and continue to improve significantly. Dimple also works on improving any other health issues I have. Her friendly, caring and holistic approach to healing is very refreshing!"
