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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

We are suitably exhausted but so smitten by our gorgeous little girl. Thank you for all your wonderful treatments. I will miss seeing you.

I first went to see Caroline to try acupuncture for unexplained infertility. I had read some articles on how acupuncture can help with infertility and wanted to try all I could to help me get pregnant naturally and then to support me through an IVF cycle if my fertility journey came to that. Over the years I ended up having 2 ICSI cycles plus 2 frozen embryo transfers. I then had a natural pregnancy whilst on some immunotherapy treatment. Caroline & Rachael were fantastic throughout my journey. There are 3 things that I loved about this clinic:. Caroline & Rachael explained why different acupuncture points were used at different stages of my monthly cycle, through IVF and through pregnancy. I noticed a difference in my periods as soon as I started acupuncture (less blood clots) from the very beginning of my acupuncture treatment so I knew it was working and doing something!. I found the acupuncture treatment very relaxing, which is an added bonus when dealing with the stress of unexplained infertility. And most importantly, Caroline and Rachael gave me fantastic emotional support and helped me ask the right questions of my fertility clinics. They are a wonderful, caring and professional team. After many years of fertility treatment, I am pleased that I now have a little miracle that has joined our family. I will miss my regular sessions with Caroline and Rachael. No doubt I will pop back for the odd relaxation treatment instead!

KH

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

TD, Shropshire

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.

AB

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

I’ve been using acupuncture to support me with anxiety linked to PMS that has morphed into the perimenopause. It not only calms me down (more than anything else I’ve tried) but the accompanying advice from Caroline and Rachel has been invaluable.

VW

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.

KT

Thanks again – I would happily recommend your practice to anyone undergoing IVF treatment.

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

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 !

JJ

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.

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.

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

I've been seeing Kate for acupuncture treatment, she is always professional and attentive. She always takes a full history and takes a holistic approach with a good understanding of how the body works and systems interact. Her treatment has greatly improved my symptoms and continues to keep them under control.

If you’re trying to conceive, I honestly cannot recommend these ladies enough. They supported me through multiple rounds of IVF, not just with fertility related treatment but also with relaxation and helping to calm my anxiety. Our results genuinely improved following their advice. Their knowledge of fertility is second to none, and they have an amazing ability to translate complex medical information into something I could truly understand. They gave fantastic advice on supplements and vitamins for both of us. Beyond their expertise, they are incredibly kind, friendly and supportive - I truly felt like they were with me every step of the way. I can’t thank them enough 💛

I would like to say a massive thank you to all the ladies at Calverley and Rawdon Acupuncture Clinic.My acupuncture experience has been AMAZING. It’s really helped me. The ladies are well trained, knowledgeable and are very supportive. Highly recommended for any type of acupuncture.

Ellie Hainsworth

I saw Kate & Caroline for acupuncture whilst trying to conceive, during my ivf journey and during my pregnancy. I found them both to be incredibly warm, knowledgeable and passionate.
Both Kate and Caroline took a holistic approach, advising on supplements, diet, mental health, & lifestyle choices. They helped me to understand the hormonal changes in my cycle and navigate test results and the ivf process.
Kate supported me the with some acupuncture the day before my due date which got me into labour 12 hours later. I now have a 4 month old baby girl.

Caroline was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The initial fertility consultation was helpful and informative. She helped me to understand my cycle, my fertility and how to navigate this, it was a lot more personalised than any appointment with my GP.
I went for acupuncture for 5 months up until I fell pregnant and continued with sessions during my pregnancy.

I don’t think I would have gained the understanding of my fertility without her and therefore would have continued to struggle to conceive.

I now have a 6 week old healthy baby boy!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted that everything has worked out for you. Please pop in whenever you are passing we would love to see you both

I’ve seen Caroline for Acupuncture for a number of different reasons over the last 10 years. I first sought help to calm my skin because of hormonal break outs, then I had regular acupuncture at the end of my two pregnancies to prepare my body for birth and since then I’ve had help with stress relief and inflammation and latterly I’ve tried facial acupuncture. Every session I’ve left feeling relaxed and calm. Caroline is very knowledgeable and tailors the acupuncture to exactly your needs, taking a thorough history of symptoms and the help you’re seeking. I’d thoroughly recommend Caroline’s clinic for acupuncture. Thanks Caroline!

I first discovered this clinic back in 2021 & had the pleasure of coming weekly/fortnightly for 10 months. I returned again in mid 2025 for a slightly different issue & so glad to be back weekly.

The care, compassion, knowledge & expertise of all the team are wonderful & they always go out of their way to help in any way they can. You feel like you have a team of cheerleaders behind you willing you on your way to your end goal, whatever that looks like ☺️

It’s genuinely the highlight of my week, I always leave feeling much more relaxed, calmer & sleep so much better for it & will forever be recommending them to everyone! ❤️ thank you!

Thank you for your lovely feedback Jess!

I have been seeing Caroline for around 8 months now and could not recommend her enough! Caroline’s knowledge and expertise has had a massive positive impact on my journey so far. You feel so listened too and like someone is in your corner, she has a very special warm and caring energy and I always come away feeling so much better, calm and relaxed (which is usually hard for me!). Thank you for all you do, I am so glad I found you!! X

I am so glad that ou did too, it is always lovely to see you in clinic.

Ian Ormondroyd

I first had sciatica in 2018; it was persistent but in desperation I tried acupuncture and found that it improved rapidly. Forward to 2025 and in April I suddenly started again with sciatica, much more painful than in 2018. I have been back to Caroline and again the treatment has been very successful, the symptoms receding quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Caroline.

Thank you Ian your feedback is very welcome

Helen Smithson

Go see Caroline if you have enduring pain in your hip/ leg! I had 4 sessions with her and I'm so much better!

Thank you Helen that's so good to hear!

Menieres Disease - treatment
I had recently been diagnosed and was struggling to find a balance of normal life after a week of multiple incidents.I spoke with Kate who gave me confidence and assurance that acupuncture could help.
I approached the treatment with some scepticism, after a bad experience some 10 years earlier with a different clinic (now closed).
The experience I have had being treated by Kate has been a whole different experience. Kate took a detailed history and explained what she was going to do and the effect it should have. The treatment plan has been very effective, helping reset and getting me on an even keel, calmer and more balanced, before starting to improve my energy levels.
I am now on a maintenance schedule.
I am no longer a sceptic, I am a convert. Thankyou Kate.

Thanks for yor feedback Martin. It's great to hear your sessions have been so effective for you.

Rebecca Beaumont

I have been receiving treatment from Caroline for several years now. She is quite simply phenomenal. She is so knowledgeable in her field, and she is incredibly attentive, not only in terms of treating whatever ailment you have sought help with, but also in terms of helping you identify, and remedy, any other issues that may be effecting your health and wellbeing. And to top all that off, she is really caring, supportive, and I really look forward to see her; I always leave feeling like a new person! Go see her.

Thank you Rebecca for your lovely comments they are gratefully received. I always love seeing you in clinic!

I can’t recommend Caroline and her team highly enough - not only are they experts in their field but they are warm, caring and compassionate too. They have vastly improved my physical and mental health over a number of years through their holistic advice and treatment. Thank you for all you do.

I have been going to Caroline for seven years and would never go to anyone else for acupuncture. She is a professional and brilliant at what she does and has helped me through all of my fertility treatment. If anyone is going through the same, acupuncture with Caroline and her team is an essential part of your treatment which will help you with relieving anxiety, pain and also help to support the treatment you are having. Caroline has a wealth of knowledge especially when it comes to having acupuncture alongside fertility treatment and pregnancy. I would never do any treatment without accompanying acupuncture from Caroline! I thank them all from the bottom of my heart for their support throughout the years.

Baljinder Bharaj

I have been seeing Caroline for herbal medicine for a few months now and have been so impressed with the positive affects on my health to present. The herbs she has prescribed has made a huge difference to my overall wellbeing in mind, body and spirit. Caroline has a wealth of experience and really takes her time to understand your health concerns. She adapts the medicine to your needs and communication and care is outstanding! She's very patient, caring and highly skilled at what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their health with Chinese herbal medicine. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much Caroline.

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. As a result I always leave the clinic feeling relaxed and well cared for.

Vicky Field

Caroline and her team are AMAZING!! I cannot recommend them enough. I have been attending the clinic for 18 months and every session I have had I have left feeling relaxed and listened to.
I found the clinic, after suffering from recurrent miscarriage and when I was feeling a bit lost and confused about it all. 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.

After a year of attending the clinic, I found out I was pregnant. Caroline helped me navigate through early pregnancy and all the anxiety and emotions that go with it after loss. It helped me attending the clinic and I would leave feeling relaxed. I think these sessions helped me to keep the baby and also helped keep me sane. Caroline celebrated every milestone with me and I know she was genuinely happy for me and my family.

I have also attended some appointments with other members of the Calverley and Rawdon Acupuncture team over the last few months and all of the women were extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and supportive.

I cannot thank the clinic enough and I will always been grateful for the support and guidance they provided me. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a similar experience.

I can not recommend Caroline and Rachael highly enough. I had already suffered four miscarriages when I first contacted the clinic and was really struggling to imagine how I would ever manage to carry another baby to term. Caroline did a thorough assessment and was confident she could help; I was bowled over by her knowledge and expertise in fertility.

Over the next nine months I visited the clinic regularly for treatments which I am sure were instrumental in me keeping this baby. I had a very anxious pregnancy due to my previous losses, and further complications in this pregnancy, and acupuncture helped me to relax and gain a sense of calm and perspective each week.

As my baby was breech, then oblique, up until 36 weeks, I opted for the moxa treatment in clinic, which was successful. I also had the induction treatment on my due date and, sure enough, I went into labour the next morning, giving birth to a healthy baby boy at home. Success all round!

Both Caroline and Rachael were incredibly kind, compassionate and supportive. They really cared, and it meant so much to feel like I had someone else fighting my corner when I felt let down by the consultants.

I will be forever grateful to them both for helping me to finally complete my family.

I have been going for accupuncture now for over a year and can honestly say I love it. Caroline and Rachel are like my therapists and are so lovely to talk to and always listen to how I'm feeling and work with that. I highly recommend and have told so many people about it!
