Some great feedback and testimonials from recent clients who've had CalmPoint Acupuncture.
Stress & Anxiety
"In April 2010 I was finding the stresses of family and work were impacting on my life in many ways, the usual issues that many of us have to deal with were taking over me and I felt unwell, miserable and unable to cope. My yoga teacher suggested I visit Adele and try Ear Acupuncture. At this point I had nothing to lose so I went along to meet Adele. I must be honest and say I was skeptical, I couldn’t grasp how a few needles could resolve the problems - and the short answer is they didn’t but what they did resolve was how I dealt with them. After the first session I was drawn to go back a couple of weeks later and during talking to Adele I realised that something had shifted, my attitude had changed, work colleagues had commented on my calmer nature so I continued the visits. At first I had a few appointments every two weeks but others 3, 4 or 5 weeks apart. Adele was willing to fit in with my schedule and I really started to look forward to the appointments. Anyone who thinks they ‘don’t do needles’ need not worry there is no discomfort or pain, the whole experience is relaxing and a chance to discuss progress with Adele. Last week I realised that I had achieved my goal, after a particularly challenging few weeks at work and with a family crisis I realised I had handled the whole episode with ease and confidence. I told Adele it was my last appointment but I know I could go back at any point for a ‘top up’ if I need it. I would certainly recommend anyone experiencing work/life stress to give acupuncture a try, it is non-invasive, subtle but effective, does not involve drugs which harm the body and Adele is a positive influence to help you."
"Hi Adele, I just wanted to thank you so much for my acupuncture sessions. What a wonderfully relaxing experience I had. Was a little skeptical to begin with however I'm totally amazed at how effective the treatment was not to mention your great advice and professional, but friendly nature. The treatments did help me to feel more calm and relaxed as well as reduced my sugar cravings. Thank you. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family!"
Neck & Shoulder Pain
"Adele you did more for me in one hour than GPs, physios and consultants did in one year, thank you."
Knee Pain
I'd been taking pain killers for such a long time and one session of acupuncture I didn't need pain killers for over a week and my knee feels really good! Wish I'd come to you months ago! Thanks again."
Depression, Anxiety & Confidence Building
“Adele was recommended to me by a friend. I had been suffering from depression and anxiety, had very little confidence, constant mood swings and had lost interest in life after several obstacles. I started seeing Adele in March, not really knowing what to expect or what I’d achieve from Acupuncture. Adele makes you feel at ease. After the first session I felt instant results. I felt more relaxed, tension headaches had disappeared and gradually I started to get my sparkle back.

Addiction Recovery
"Since I've had the ear acupuncture (I've had 4 treatments now) I've noticed that I'm not so agitated and not craving alcohol like before. I'm more calm and relaxed. I'm feeling better about myself and taking better care of myself too. I'm also taking the time now to cook proper meals for myself (my cravings for sweet, sugary food are also much less too!). I also use the acupressure points that Adele taught me to press when I feel agitated or anxious and I find these help me a lot. The main thing I've noticed is that I'm smiling so much!"
Addiction Recovery Group Work
"Adele regularly works with the Sunshine Recovery Cafe for people recovering from alcohol or drug issues. Adele has offered acupuncture and relaxation to our clients, which they have found to be incredibly beneficial and enjoyable. Adele is a joy to work with, I'd highly recommend her."
