After injuring my back at work in the building trade, I explored various treatments unsuccessfully. I came across acupuncture by coincidence when I was working down the road from the clinic. I called in for some information which I received from Caroline, once she explained the benefits of acupuncture I booked an appointment. The first session was relaxing and eased my pain. By the fifth session the pain was completely gone. I can’t believe how effective the treatment was. I now have no problems at work and play football three times a week pain free. I highly recommend acupuncture for back pain relief. Caroline is very professional and knowledgeable.

I have been coming to you for acupuncture for a good many years now and I am happy to say that you have helped me maintain a balance for my health through the acupuncture treatments you have provided. You have treated my gastro-intestinal problems so that I have been able to reduce my medication and sleep better. Originally the hospital consultant wanted me to have a stomach operation for my reflux problem , but thankfully I refused the operation and found that acupuncture has saved me from having drastic surgery. I now only need a top up once a month or so and also have found your dietary advice invaluable ( as long as I follow it!!).

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

I wanted to say a huge thank you to you and Rachael, for all the help, information and support you gave to me, alongside my treatment. We have no doubt that without all of this, we may not have been so fortunate, and we will forever be grateful. Coming along to see you both was definitely the right decision!

I first heard about the benefits of acupuncture alongside IVF treatment when my first cycle of IVF was in threat of being cancelled due to the fact that I had had no response to the stimulation drugs. The dosage had already been increased to the highest level and there was nothing further the hospital could do. I researched into what I could do to kick start things into action. There were many articles suggesting the benefits of acupuncture and I looked for clinics in my area and saw that the Calverley and Rawdon Clinic was affiliated with the fertility expert Zita West’s clinic. I wanted to ensure I went to a specialist fertility acupuncturist who would understand the nature of my treatment and my worries and needs.
I had two treatments of acupuncture prior to my next hospital appointment and the nurses were shocked to see such a response and rather than being cancelled my egg collection was scheduled shortly afterwards. Whilst I was nervous about those early treatments, I found acupuncture to be relaxing and not at all painful. I continued with acupuncture throughout my fertility treatment.
Unfortunately my first cycle was unsuccessful, though we were fortunate enough to get two frozen embryos from that cycle. I had acupuncture treatments in the lead up to and throughout my frozen cycle four months later and I am now very happily 12 weeks pregnant.
I credit Caroline’s acupuncture treatments for helping the first cycle to continue, as the frozen embryo that will become our first baby was collected from that cycle that initially looked to be so much in jeopardy.
I would recommend the Calverley and Rawdon Acupuncture Clinic to anyone embarking on the journey through fertility treatment.

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.

At last – a card for your window cill!!! We can’t thank you enough for all your help over the past couple of years – we have no doubt that your treatments helped in conceiving T and keeping him safe during pregnancy.
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.

Thanks again Caroline- I’m blown away with your expertise, level of care, and the herbs! Truly!

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.

After experiencing the fantastic revitalising effects of the Facial Rejuvenating acupuncture I would recommend it to anyone who would like to retain a younger appearance.
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 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.

He’s here! He’s absolutely perfect and doing really well. We wanted to thank you so much for your amazing care and support throughout our treatment. We know it helped us emotionally and sure it helped our treatment be such a success. We’ll never forget your help – thank you!
CA
Thanks again – I would happily recommend your practice to anyone undergoing IVF treatment.
I just wanted to drop you an email to say a massive THANK YOU for all of your help in our fertility journey. Without you, your knowledge and kindness I don’t think that we would be sitting here now with our gorgeous baby. I always think of you as someone who I was meant to meet in my life and I will forever be grateful for everything that you’ve done.

After unsuccessfully trying for a baby and having several tests I was told by an eminent expert in fertility that my sperm had problems with mobility and function and that my wife and I would need to have IVF and ICSI to conceive a child. I was told that I was probably born this way and it could be genetic, having had no other children we agreed to be put on the waiting list for IVF. Both my wife and I had many acupuncture sessions over the course of several months with Caroline at her clinic in the run up to our IVF treatment. The day of the egg collection I was ushered away my an embryologist and told that since the last time I was tested my sperm had recovered to become much higher quality, as good as ‘normal’ in fact and that we would no longer require ICSI. We subsequently fertilised 12 eggs using normal IVF and managed to have a blastocyst implanted, as a bonus we had two embryos’s frozen. We are currently waiting to find out if my wife is pregnant but I but would like to thank Caroline for my treatment and potentially curing my ‘problem’.

Having completed one unsuccessful round of IVF I decided to supplement a second treatment with acupuncture. I truly believe that the acupuncture benefited me throughout the second round of treatment. I found the procedures easier and had a shorter recovery time. The eggs and embryos were of better quality than in the first round and I am now happily pregnant with twins. Caroline has been a great support throughout and I would recommend her treatment to anyone undergoing fertility treatment.
