Paul is very welcoming and creates a relaxing atmosphere. Very thorough initial consultation and informative during treatment. I have found Paul's fertility acupuncture a fantastic complementary therapy during my IVF treatment, helping me achieve a balance; both emotionally & physically.

Hi Paul,
My partner and I came to see you last week while we were on holiday in Cornwall. Just thought I'd let you know that the acupuncture seems to have done the trick.
We got a positive pregnancy test yesterday.
Very happy and very, very surprised that it worked first time. Thanks for seeing us both, it really helped.
Best Wishes,
B
"...I started to feel a huge sense of calm and well being very soon after my first acupuncture session, and in May 2007 I became pregnant.
Needless to say I felt extremely anxious about the prospect of miscarrying again but Paul was extremely knowledgeable about the subject and he used points to help strengthen and support my body and to aid my blood flow. He also used points to help relieve the symptoms of morning sickness and heartburn which enabled me to relax and enjoy a stress free pregnancy.
Alfie was born in January 2008, almost a year after my first consultation with Paul. The causes of miscarriage still remain unclear and anyone who has gone through this knows how soul destroying it can be, however my sessions with Paul became an integral and extremely valued part of my healing process...'

Dear Paul,
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your help in overcoming my infertility.
When I contacted you, my husband and I had been trying for over two years without success. I was very stressed and clearly out of synch. I started feeling better soon after the first treatment of traditional acupuncture as you were helping to re-balance everything.
After about four months of treatment (interrupted by my holidays) I was, at long last, pregnant. There is no doubt in my mind that acupuncture has helped.
I also have to say that your relaxed and friendly approach put me at ease straight away. I didn't feel pushed to take on treatment after our first (free) assessment appointment, and despite the needles (they're not that bad really!) I enjoyed our sessions tremendously.
I am looking forward to some sessions to help with pregnancy niggles!
All the best,
Gwendoline
Hi Paul,
Bryn was born on 31st May 2009 (2 weeks late!) at a very healthy 9.25 lbs.
We are all having a lovely time and he is a very zen baby who is very good and lets us sleep at night!
I want to say thank you for all your help, I am convinced the treatment made a difference in helping us to have a baby and not having to go through IVF, and we have been eulogising the marvels of acupuncture.
