After two failed IVF cycles, my specialist suggested we try acupuncture alongside our third round. I was sceptical but desperate. Dr Christine was warm, thorough and genuinely invested in our journey. She treated me weekly for three months leading up to the transfer and we got our positive result. I truly believe the combination made all the difference. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone navigating the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatment.

I had been living with debilitating period pain for over a decade. By the time I found Dr Christine, I had tried every conventional option. Within six weeks of weekly acupuncture and a herbal formula, my pain reduced from an 8 out of 10 to a 3. By month three, I was experiencing my first pain-free periods in years. The difference to my quality of life and my ability to work has been enormous. I wish I had discovered this ten years earlier.

I had not slept properly in over two years. Chronic stress had completely disrupted my sleep and I was relying on medication just to get a few hours. Dr Christine took a completely different approach — looking at my anxiety, digestion and lifestyle as one connected picture. After four sessions the improvement was noticeable, and after two months I had fully weaned off my sleep medication with my GP's support. I now sleep seven to eight hours and wake feeling rested. Remarkable.

Perimenopause hit me hard at 48 — hot flushes every hour, terrible sleep, mood swings I didn't recognise as my own. I wasn't comfortable with HRT and a friend suggested I see Dr Christine. She explained the TCM perspective so clearly and my treatment felt genuinely personalised. Within two months my hot flushes had reduced dramatically in frequency and intensity, and I was sleeping through the night again. I feel like myself again. This is now part of my long-term wellbeing plan.

I developed severe tennis elbow that stopped me playing for three months. Physio and cortisone had given only temporary relief. A colleague suggested acupuncture and I was open to anything at that point. Dr Christine used a combination of electro-acupuncture and cupping over eight sessions. The pain reduced progressively and I was back on court at week nine. More importantly, she addressed the underlying arm tension that had caused the injury in the first place. I have had no recurrence six months later.

I was managing moderate anxiety with therapy and medication but still struggling with physical symptoms — tight chest, poor sleep, constant tension in my shoulders. Dr Christine's approach complemented my existing support beautifully. The acupuncture sessions were deeply calming — I would often feel the tension release during the treatment itself. Combined with the herbal formula she prescribed, my physical anxiety symptoms have improved significantly. I look forward to my sessions as genuine self-care time each week.

I struggled with IBS-type symptoms for years — bloating, irregular bowel habits, constant discomfort after eating. Dr Christine connected my digestive symptoms to patterns I had never considered, including my tendency to eat quickly under stress and certain food combinations that were weakening my Spleen Qi. The dietary changes she recommended made immediate sense, and after six weeks of treatment my gut felt completely transformed. I no longer dread mealtimes, which had become genuinely stressful.

My daughter had severe eczema from age two, affecting her sleep and causing real distress. We had tried every cream and elimination diet. At age five I brought her to see Dr Christine who prescribed a gentle herbal formula and made dietary recommendations. Within six weeks the eczema had cleared by about seventy percent, and by the three-month mark her skin was the clearest it had ever been. Dr Christine was wonderful with her — calm, patient and reassuring. We are so grateful.

I started seeing Dr Christine with no specific complaint — just a general sense of fatigue, low energy and feeling flat. I had a full medical workup and everything was "normal" but I knew something was off. Dr Christine identified a pattern of Qi and Blood deficiency that resonated completely with how I felt. After two months of treatment and dietary changes I felt genuinely energised and clear-headed for the first time in years. I now have monthly maintenance sessions and consider it essential healthcare.

I saw Dr Christine throughout my entire second pregnancy after a complicated first. She supported me through first trimester nausea, back pain in the second trimester and breech presentation concerns in the third — using specific acupuncture protocols throughout. My nausea was dramatically reduced, my back pain was manageable and my baby turned at 36 weeks. I had a calm, straightforward birth. I credited regular acupuncture as a significant factor in how well the pregnancy progressed. I recommend Dr Christine to every pregnant friend I have.
