I suffer from a recurring neck/shoulder problem and have received acupuncture treatment from Caroline, periodically, over the last 3 years. Whilst initially sceptical and having tried other treatments to alleviate the pain, I can say without doubt that acupuncture works. Caroline Haigh is very professional and the atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming.

Two separate friends recommended Caroline and her team at Calverley and Rawdon Acupuncture Clinic to me as an additional avenue to explore as part of my fertility journey. I contacted the clinic and quickly booked in for an online fertility consultation. At the end of the hour and a half talking through my complex issues with Caroline online, I burst into tears – tears of relief! For the first time in 3 years, this was the first time a professional had discussed all of the possible causes of recurrent miscarriage in depth with me. We discussed diet, lifestyle and familial medical history in far more depth than the clinicians at the hospital have ever asked about. I was given a bank of useful information to support me in trying different techniques to support our chances of a successful pregnancy. I now have weekly acupuncture sessions which I feel are having a positive impact on my health and wellbeing. Caroline and her team are incredibly knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone looking at alternative therapies.

I wanted to thank you both for all the help and support you’ve given me since I first contacted you in July last year. It has been a long and difficult three years to get to this point but I absolutely believe acupuncture has made all the difference to this pregnancy being successful and I will always be truly grateful to you both for your part in that. You have both always shown genuine care towards me and my situation, which I have often lacked from the medical staff who I’ve been under the care of. Thank you. I will certainly recommend you to anyone else wishing to improve their chances of having a baby.

What a difference 12 weeks makes!! The results are amazing, my fine lines have gone and my wrinkles have been visibly reduced. I would highly recommend Caroline and the Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture to anyone considering other treatments

If I’d not been recommended Rawdon Acupuncture by my chiropractor, I wouldn’t be dealing with my perimenopause head on like this, I’d still be thinking it was something that just happened and that I had to live with it. I highly recommend them for their skilled acupuncture that is made even better by their manner, approach, human-ness and compassion.

Thank you so much for all your care, expertise and support over the past year. You’ve been wonderful and at times, I don’t know what I’d have done without you.

I first considered Acupuncture when I read an article suggesting it was helpful in the treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia. I had exhausted treatments in conventional medicine and I was suffering from acute pain in my face. Despite initial trepidation, my first visit to Caroline proved extremely successful in the management of pain. There has been a continued improvement following each subsequent visit. The facilities at this practice are excellent and I would without hesitation suggest Acupuncture to anyone suffering pain.

Having been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy three weeks earlier, (no, I’d never heard of it either) both my GP and the NHS physiotherapist that I was referred to had warned me to expect continued facial paralyse for up to six months and possibly beyond. Almost immediately after starting a twice weekly acupuncture programme at the clinic, I experienced significant and clearly noticeable improvement. After another three weeks I was able to close my left eye and do away with the eye patch. My Physio’s mouth literally fell open when I showed him the progress I was making at our next scheduled appointment, resulting in me being ‘discharged’ from the NHS outpatient system. Based on my own experience, the impact on improving recovery time from Bell’s Palsy through acupuncture is clear. However, I’m also convinced that the broader experience that I received at this particular clinic helped me manage the emotional effects of the condition, through Caroline’s professional but very personal approach to treatment, and giving me regular points within my week to proactively do something to help my recovery

The month that we were due to start IVF, I fell pregnant naturally. I am sure the acupuncture, herbs and fertility advice made a difference and I would specifically recommend the Calverley and Rawdon Acupuncture Clinic. Caroline is particularly experienced treating couples with fertility issues.

The acupuncture and care I received throughout my pregnancy helped with worry, sickness and really helped to relieve severe hip pain in my last trimester. I was waking every hour at one point in agony and after one treatment in my hip I was able to sleep through the night. I love every aspect of the acupuncture including the way Caroline goes above and beyond just the treatment with her expert advice and reassurance. Thank you so much!

AA

I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support throughout our ivf cycle and the acupuncture sessions you gave up until the birth. I would not hesitate in recommending you to others and look forward to coming back to you soon.

The acupuncture for fertility regulated my periods so fast and all the added information Caroline gave me about conception helped me conceive very quickly.

After trying to get pregnant for several years, two years ago my husband was diagnosed with severe oligospermia – a very low sperm count. We couldn’t believe it! It was a real unexpected shock. Fortunately with my fertility intact, we were accepted onto a course of ICSI treatment with LGI.

Wanting to maximise our chances of success, we spent some time researching on the internet, and we decided to focus on improving our lifestyle with better nutrition and acupuncture. We found Caroline, who really fitted the bill as she is affiliated to Zita West. My husband was treated first with acupuncture, which he found very relaxing and Caroline supported his treatment with Chinese medicine. I was also treated in preparation for and throughout the ICSI cycle. Both of us found Caroline very supportive and understanding throughout this difficult period in our lives. The outcome has been a massive success – my husband’s sperm improved in quality, and we were successful in conceiving one beautiful baby girl on our first attempt. We are thrilled!! I firmly believe that we couldn’t have done it without Caroline’s help. Caroline was also fantastic at supporting me throughout my pregnancy – I had a lovely pregnancy throughout. I would recommend Caroline to any couple embarking on a fertility journey.

This is my second pregnancy and I have had acupuncture for morning sickness since the beginning since having suffered first time around. The effects have been outstanding, with my symptoms of persistent nausea controlled significantly with weekly treatment.

BT

She’s finally here after such a long wait. Thank you so much for your fabulously relaxing treatments and all of your support and advice – I’m sure we wouldn’t have her without you….

I cannot recommend the clinic highly enough. Kate has treated me for a number of different issues and is so professional and thorough in her work. She always takes the time to listen and approaches each treatment in a very holistic way, drawing on her wide-ranging knowledge and experience……

“Caroline has a special way of honing in on what really matters in supervision. She creates a warm atmosphere, and combined with her wisdom and clarity, she helps to open achievable possibilities”

I just wanted to say thank you again for the part you played in our pregnancy journey. I strongly believe that your work with needles made this little miracle possible.

JR

Thank you so much for all your help, guidance and patience! My son is just gorgeous!

Thanks for your support and expertise. Here’s evidence of a great result! We’re very proud parents of a lovely little boy.

 

I met Caroline whilst struggling to build my practice as a new acupuncturist. Finding Caroline at that point in my journey was exactly what I needed. Regular supervision with her has given me the guidance and confidence necessary to not only succeed but thrive. Learning with Caroline has been an honor and a privilege. Her support to help run a successful practice, and her clinical wisdom on how to work with clients effectively and efficiently, are invaluable for any practitioner. Caroline has always held a generous, safe space where I have felt welcomed and supported. It would be difficult for me to overstate the impact that regular supervision has had on me and how it has supported in me growing as a practitioner.
