“Caroline has a real gift as a supervisor! She always has a listening ear and I know that I won’t be judged on anything I discuss with her. During my sessions with Caroline, she has empowered me to find my own solutions to issues in my practice, boosted my self-confidence and supported me on my journey to becoming the practitioner I aspire to be.” ”

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 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.

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.

Unhappy with fine lines & wrinkles I embarked on courses of facials from glycolic acid peels to collagen treatments recommended as the best anti-aging treatments. In my experience there was a small improvement which only lasted a few days and cost me a fortune! Eventually found Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture. After 12 weeks of treatment my fine lines had virtually disappeared and wrinkles had considerably lessen. To such an extent I ditch the glycolic acid based facial products. I have successfully maintained a younger appearance with just one monthly treatment. I am absolutely delighted with the results of the Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture.

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 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……

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

Before trying acupuncture I had suffered with severe migraines for a couple of years, often having at least one a week but often up to 3 or 4 in a week every single month, I had been back and forth a the doctors and also been referred to 3 separate neurologists none of which offered any help or successful treatment other than suggestions of long term medication which I was very reluctant to accept. I decided to try acupuncture after reading that this is now a recommended and recognised treatment for migraine. After only a few sessions with Caroline the benefits were incredible, I can easily go a couple of months without an attack, the impact this has had on my life is invaluable and the positive effects the treatment is unquestionable, I cannot recommend this method of treatment or thank Caroline enough.

Can I just thank you for such a caring and considerate approach. I feel truly looked after when I come to you. Your colleague is one of a kind, absolutely what I needed at such a vulnerable time.

I came to see you for moxibustion last Wednesday (to turn my breech baby). My midwife sent me for a presentation scan this morning and baby has turned head down!
I definitely felt increased movements following the treatment but I wasn’t sure if it had turned. I don’t know how it works but thank you very much. My midwife is sure to recommend you to future pregnant ladies with breech babies.

It was my first experience of any ‘alternative’ medicine. I was immediately set at ease by the holistic approach to treatment and the attention given to our particular circumstances. Acupuncture gave me very positive energy throughout our hospital treatments, giving mental and physical strength to meet and accept any outcome. At the clinic I was given needle treatments and advised on Chinese herbs and diet throughout my IVF and later throughout my pregnancy. The results were that I got pregnant, had a very healthy pregnancy, again assisted by acupuncture techniques, and now have a delightful two year old. I am so glad we found Calverley and Rawdon Clinic. My experiences are that traditional medicines can be intrusive and intense; acupuncture for us was gentle without side effects and effective. For me, acupuncture is an overall positive experience on its own or alongside traditional treatments to restore balance.

I had read about the benefits of acupuncture alongside IVF and made an appointment to see Caroline. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and believe that the acupuncture sessions alongside the IVF helped me to get pregnant. I found acupuncture very relaxing and think it is a very useful complement to IVF treatment

LH

Thank you so much for your help and treatment for my husband and I. Our miracle baby turned up in October and it’s been fun fun fun ever since!

BC

I just wanted to let you know that I thought baby had turned earlier in week and I’ve just had it confirmed by the midwife! Very pleased! I’m singing yours and acupuncture’s praises!

EB

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

I had a wonderful appointment with Kate last night and it was really relaxing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What a lovely lady and lovely addition to your team!

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

 

Thank you so much for your support and help in us finally achieving out lovely little family. Thanks to you, we now have 2 little boys and never thought it was possible.

 

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.

I’m in Caroline’s supervision group and it has been invaluable to me as I’m newly qualified and setting up practice atm. Really supportive group where I feel I can speak openly about any problems I’m facing and receive support
