I've been seeing the witch doctor (Greg Beerling, acupuncturist) as needed for five years. I love…read morehis honest & giving nature as well as his sheer joy in the work he does. His positivity in finding a remedy is infectious & just what a patient needs when not feeling 100%. Greg is a solution-orientated practitioner. I have found he is always looking to treat the root issue & get a resolution rather than just treating the symptoms. He also stays abreast of new modalities in TCM & incorporates as appropriate. NRCHI offers easy to use online booking for appointments on their website. As convenient as this is, I have not generally found it easy to book on a last-minute type basis. I generally need to think & plan ahead. Note: there is a cancellation fee if you cancel your appointment on the day within four hours of your scheduled time. They are pretty upfront about this policy as they do not wish to offend anyone.

I have been seeing Rachel Moore for several years - she is an excellent massage therapist with a…read morestrong knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. I get chronic headaches and find that Rachel really improves the prevention and treatment of these. However, what makes my treatments with Rachel so rewarding is her lovely nature - you can tell she cares deeply about relaxing you and making a positive difference to your overall health. Rachel's friendly disposition puts you at ease and makes you feel valued - these are all qualities that make Rachel the ideal massage therapist!

If you are a believer of alternative therapy, believe me, Jiang is a miracle worker. With…read moreacupuncture and Chinese herbs as her specialty, she relieved me of my consistent sinus problems years ago. Now at 31 weeks of my pregnancy, I started seeing her again last month due to dizziness and general fatigue. The acupuncture is brilliant and whilst the chinese herbs are optional, Jiang customises the herbs according to your ailment. I have heard from friends who have gone to Jiang in the hope of conceiving. Whilst I have no first hand experience in this, I have had friends who swear by it. Keep an open mind and give her a shot. It's worth the while!

Before visiting Ondol I'd been seeing a sports-focused remedial massage therapist. While I knew it…read morewould never be that kind of soft-handed day spa style massage, I also was never quite prepared for the so-much-pain-I'm-verging-on-tears style massage. Thankfully, Ondol's style is a happy medium that combines gentle massage movements with more deep reaching muscular techniques that have me walking out like I'm walking on air as a new woman. With regular treatments, Sue has taken my lower-back pain and general muscular issues from a 10 on the pain meter to a dulcet 3 or 4. Also, I quite admire their focus on it being an ongoing process to health rather than a one-time fix-it-all treatment.

I started attending Ondol clinic for fertility almost 2 years ago. I had never been to acupuncture…read morebefore and it was my last port of call as my husband was refusing to have medical intervention such as IVF. I have never really believed in acupuncture, but my visits to Ondol have changed all that. My first point of contact was the receptionist, Helen, who was incredibly lovely when I queried if it was alright to bring a mobile 9 month-old to the sessions. Without hesitation she said, 'bring her in, we all LOVE babies'. When I arrived for my first appointment, Helen was not there, but two of the principal practitioners both took my daughter and looked after her, while I had my acupuncture session. When I said to them after the session, 'I hope she did not stop you from doing your work', they responded with big smiles and said 'it's all part of the service'. My daughter and I have always felt so incredibly welcome there. The atmosphere is one of family and one of everyone banding together, using their collective knowledge to assist you in getting better. Following each fertility treatment I felt incredibly relaxed. It was as if I had just had the most wonderful massage. After weekly fertility treatments including acupuncture, Chinese herbs and moxibustion, for just over three months, I fell pregnant. During my fertility treatment on one occasion I arrived and had crippling back pain. Two of the practitioners worked on me at the same time and I walked out 80% better than when I had crawled in. I was so surprised as physiotherapy had had little effect. After another visit where I had shooting pain through my leg and neck when accelerating the car or turning my head, I walked out able to both accelerate the car and turn my head with full mobility. The range of ailments that acupuncture can assist with is amazing and even a couple of well-placed needles resulted in me breathing freely during a persistent cold. I am absolutely converted and am so fortunate to have found such a wonderful practitioner in Dr Hae-Uk and her staff and colleagues. I would recommend this clinic to everyone.

In yet another effort to cease the back pain caused from a bulging disc and to also address a few…read moreother health matters, I booked an appointment with Sarah George here for acupuncture. Sarah is warm, caring and considerate - everything you want in a practitioner helping you and guiding you to wellness. Although she is only in the clinic on set days each week (Thursday and Friday from memory), making an appointment was easy and I found it best to pre-book at the end of each appointment. Her insight into Chinese medicine was fascinating and I walked away from each appointment having learned something new. I would whole heartedly suggest an appointment with Sarah if you're considering acupuncture and want to feel like more than just a "patient." I also believe she does massage.
