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.

I was very anxious knowing that my baby was in the breech position at 35 weeks. I wanted to do everything I could to avoid a caesarean. I myself am a midwife so knew what my hospital could offer, which was an ECV after 36 weeks. I knew from research I had come across in my profession that moxibustion had a similar success rate to ECV but carried less risks to myself and my baby. So I googled local places to have the treatment and came across Calverley and Rawdon Acupuncture clinic. Caroline was fantastic on the phone gave me lots of information when booking my appointment. When I arrived the clinic room was wonderfully calm and peaceful so I immediately felt relaxed. Caroline went through a thorough consultation and explained the treatment in detail. The treatment itself was very relaxing and my baby seemed to enjoy it wriggling away like crazy. She gave me an information leaflet on how to continue the treatment myself at home and much to my amazement the baby turned to head down 3 days later. I was over the moon, and am now 39+4 weeks waiting patiently for my baby to arrive naturally. Caroline also informed me of an acupuncture treatment that aims to induce labour, which if I go overdue, I plan to book and have every confidence it will help me meet my baby that little bit sooner.

My husband and I had been trying for a baby for 2 years. I was diagnosed with mild polycystic ovary syndrome and my husband had a low reading for morphology. Whilst on the waiting list for IVF my husband and I both started being treated with acupuncture by Caroline and following her dietary advice and taking Chinese herbs. We wanted to give ourselves the best chance when we started IVF. With all the stress and disappointments of traditional treatments, the acupuncture treatment felt like we were doing something really positive that would make a difference. 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. My husband is uncomfortable with needles, but with some relaxation techniques Caroline reassured him and after the second week of treatment he was so relaxed he would doze off on the treatment table. We both found the treatment to be a positive experience and thankfully, we had a positive result!

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 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!

“The supervision that I have received from Caroline has been integral to my move from student to practitioner. She has provided a safe and non-judgemental space to explore clinical and professional issues. With her guidance I have been able to reflect and work through my areas of concern, enabling me to become a more effective and confident practitioner. I am so grateful to have Caroline’s experience and expertise to draw upon and look forward to continuing our supervision relationship in the future. “

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

We are suitably exhausted but so smitten by our gorgeous little girl. Thank you for all your wonderful treatments. I will miss seeing you.
Since I started acupuncture with Caroline I have improved 100%. I now am pain free most days and no longer need to take a variety of medicines to get me through the day.

Eternally grateful and Rachael is a consummate professional

I suffered from regular severe migraines for most of my adult life which were so bad I would spend hours in bed , vomiting and enduring terrible pain which no amount of medication seemed to touch. I contacted Caroline and embarked on a course of acupuncture and even though I really didn’t expect it to work it DID ! It’s been over three years since I finished treatment and in that time I have had just ONE attack. I’ve recently returned to Caroline’s clinic as I have been getting frequent tension headaches and after just a couple of sessions I have experienced a vast improvement. I think it’s MAGIC and I would – and do – recommend it to everyone !

“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.” ”

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 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!!).
