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 went to see Caroline at the Calverley & Rawdon Acupuncture Clinic after I developed Bell’s Facial Palsy following a particularly bad virus and chest infection. I had looked up the treatments for Bell’s Palsy on the internet myself although no medical person had advised or recommended me to do this. In my opinion the acupuncture definitely helped me to a speedy recovery – within a couple of sessions my face started to return to normal and after 7 sessions I decided it had returned almost completely, so much so that the consultant I was seeing commented that she had never seen anyone recover so quickly!

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.

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’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

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’.

Thank you so much for all your help, guidance and patience! My son is just gorgeous!
Thank you so much for all your kind support and encouragement during our treatments. I am sure that without you our daughter wouldn’t be here today.
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.

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.

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!

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….
When I met Caroline, she did a detailed assessment of me and my past history. I then started attending weekly sessions. My fertility journey was not straight forward and each week Caroline would listen to my updates and offer advice and guidance. Her knowledge of fertility is brilliant which helped me greatly. She even put me in touch with a fantastic Dr who specialised in the area of fertility I needed investigated. This ended up being a huge turning point in my journey.

Being a life- long sufferer of eczema I had always relied on prescribed medicines to treat my skin. Recently I have become worried about the steroid cream I used and the thinning affect it has on skin. That is why I decided to try acupuncture. The results have been fantastic. Now with monthly acupuncture sessions, herbal medicine and some small changes to in diet my skin has dramatically improved. I do still suffer from the occasional flair up but thanks to Caroline they are becoming less intense and a lot less frequent

I wanted to send you a huge thank you for all your help and support. I came to your practice last year for acupuncture to help with my IVF treatment. The treatment was successful, my pregnancy went really well and our beautiful baby girl was born in April this year! We are both doing well and she is healthy and gorgeous. I’ve attached a picture of her, she is now 15 weeks old.

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.
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 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.” ”

I would like to thank you for the extreme difference you have made with my acupuncture facial rejuvenation. After my initial six treatments I was really pleased with the results, as fine lines and wrinkles were visibly reduced. Now 18 months and regular monthly treatments later the texture and colour of my skin have made my face more youthful. I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending your facial treatments to anyone striving to defy the aging process
