I called and was able to get an appointment a few hours later. I have been to acupuncturists in the USA so I knew what to expect. Kay was professional and immediately put me at ease. After one treatment I was able to walk without pain and sleep through the night. I highly recommend Kay Lam if you are in need of an Acupuncturist.

I only wish that I had visited them sooner and I would recommend them to anyone !

Ashleigh, though slight, must have been hiding forearms like Popeye under her uniform. She was more than able to beat the tension out of my calves and shoulders leaving me feeling great. She was also very good at allowing the conversation to ebb and flow, as some of the calf work was pretty tender and I didn't feel too chatty. The venue was easy to find, and was very comforting, the treatment room especially was lovely and warm (convenient when you are stripping down to your skivvies). It thought it was slightly on the expensive side for a sports massage when I booked, but in retrospect, it's perfectly priced, well worth the extra pennies.

I found my treatment with Emma Rose highly effective and deeply relaxing. I am a long term sufferer…read moreof Fybromyalgia and associated spinal pain. When my pain was at its worst I received treatments from Emma and I am so glad I did. The needling was very gentle, with minimal amount of needles and Moxibustion was also incorporated; this was heavenly and the warmth through the needle brought immediate relief. In addition to this I also received Reiki healing, which I loved and I found that this helped me greatly with my anxiety. I could actually 'feel' it working even though no touch was involved, so soothing. I am very impressed by Emmas approach to healing,she offers so much more than just accupuncture. Her treatments are tailored to the body as a whole, not just for specific areas. I gained so much more than relief from severe spinal pain, I also received unexpected and quite dramatic healing in other areas of my body which I never mentioned at my initial assessment. I think Emma is a very special healer as she really does care deeply for her patients, she is open and friendly, and puts you totally at ease. She is passionate about her work and she even took the time to explain aspects of her therapy to me, which were not only interesting, but also increased my understanding. I must also mention her clinic, which is very homely and relaxing, not only do you get to lie on the most amazingly comfortable therapy couch-complete with boob rest for ladies, you also get the chance to listen to beautiful relaxation music, your temperature is also carefully monitored and she takes care to ensure you are not too hot or cold. She even cleanses her hands before and after needling. I have gained enormous benefit from my treatments, not only great pain relief and increased mobility in my spine, but also with a reduction in my anxiety levels, relief from heart palpitations, much better quality sleep and relief from some of the many painful and distressing symptoms of a very complex condition. I love attending for treatment with Emma and I highly recommend her as the most professional, knowledgeable and caring therapist in her field. I feel privileged to have met her.

I also stay in the room, close by the patient throughout the treatment and also incorporate moxa and gua sha when indicated. Stems and Branches philosophy goes back to Huang Di, the Yellow Emperor who was credited with establishing the astrological system of 12 Heavenly Stems and 10 Earthly Branches in around 2736BC. This system not only gave rise to a style of acupuncture, but also the compass school of Feng Shui.

Moime is very professional and the clinic has a calm and tranquil feel that immediately puts you at ease. The treatment room is at the back of the clinic and behind the consultation room so it is quiet and private. Moime takes the time to talk to clients to find out best treatment required. One day I arrived I had a headache, Moime said she would give me something for it as part of my treatment and by end of the session the headache was gone. I was surprised but it worked. Moime can also do acupuncture for relaxation and I've found it a more beneficial alternative to massages to relieve back tension. I definitely now believe in acupuncture and would highly recommend Moime.

This gave me severe neck, shoulder pain and headaches. I was unable to have my neck touched as I was in so much pain. My GP prescribed strong pain killers- this was unfortunately all I had to look forward to was the continuation for the rest of my life - taking numerous strong painkillers every day. I passed the Hoole Acupuncture Clinic on my way home from my daughters and booked an assessment for the following week. Last ditch attempt to get some help. Moime gave me a full assessment and treatment which lasted 1.30 hours. The clinic and atmosphere was professional, efficient and relaxed. After the treatment I had the first reasonable nights sleep. I knew and expected my condition to improve slowly, but it most certainly has made my life very much improved. I also suffered badly with anxiety which was also treated. I can not thank Moime enough for helping me. My life is much less restricted and can enjoy life to the full I still continue to attend especially during the winter as it is aggravated during winter months and as always my treatment works effectively. Moime always goes the extra mile for her patients - she certainly is one in a million. I have also had numerous Korean Gua-Sha Facials . It is absolutely wonderful - a 2 hour session which leaves you totally relaxed and rejuvenated. I have noticed the wrinkles on my forehead have greatly reduced. I can strongly recommend the Hoole Acupuncture Clinic
