E.K
"The atmosphere and welcome are friendly and relaxing. I just wish, at the moment, I had the time to come in for more cosmetic acupuncture as I felt it really did work."
C.W.
"Comfortable environment - a bit of a sanctuary in nice surroundings.
Easy to feel relaxed and at ease.
Don't feel rushed or just another patient.
Very personal approach.
A wealth of knowledge and lots of advice for all sorts of problems.
Positive and very helpful approach from all the staff.
Mixture of services e.g. acupuncture, herbalist, nutritionist, so a 'one stop shop' for any problem.
I do a 2 hour round trip to visit the clinic and always come away feeling positive, rejuvenated and with a relaxed and calm feeling. Well worth the trip!"
K.W.

Sir Paul le Rock is welcoming, relaxing, knowledgeable, supportive and tattoey!

Relaxed, informal atmosphere. Being offered a cup of tea! Attend for Facial Acupuncture.
Joan
"Paul is an exceptional therapist, highly professional, empathetic and all of the sessions I have had have been successful. For instance, when I had a persistent cough last year, which had gone to my lungs, after one session with Paul the cough shifted. So, I have confidence in him as a therapist which is the most important.
Although the therapist is the crucial agent of course. I also like the way the clinic is organized, the therapy room is beautiful and again Paul's professionalism shines through."
J.P.
"Paul is an absolute treasure, he provides exceptional service at a time which is convenient for me to attend, and with a person in pain, that is exactly what you need. I have no hesitation in recommending him, and have booked another appointment!"
Marilyn
Pleased with the results...
"...we now have a baby! ...thank you so much for all the infertility acupuncture, I really think it made a huge difference."
L
"I decided to try acupuncture to lose a few pounds, and slowly but surely I lost half a stone which I was really happy with. Not only that, but after each session I felt really awake and energised so I'd definitely recommend a few acupuncture sessions if you're feeling a bit run down and in need of a boost.
The thing that blew me away the most though was the facial enhancement taster session that I had to rid some eczema that had developed under my eyes. Immediately it took effect and the very next day, the eczema had reduced and the redness and soreness has disappeared. I was just amazed.
The Mitchell Hill Clinic is a lovely and relaxing place and Paul is really friendly and professional, so if you're considering acupuncture for whatever reason, then my recommended choice would most definitely be The Mitchell Hill Clinic."
Jo
"In February 2005, I was discharged from hospital with an immobility problem.
Although, this improved slightly by exercise, I was only able to walk using 2 sticks.
About 18 months ago arthritis attacked my knees which was very painful. The beginning of 2008 the arthritis moved to my arms, hands, thumbs and neck. The pain factor was so severe that I was taking 2 paracetamol 4 times a day (this being the maximum dose).
In desperation I turned to The Mitchell Hill Clinic. The first treatment gave me immediate relief for 3 or 4 days then the pain started to return. The next treatment a week later once again gave me respite for a few days. After each treatment the pain factor improved tremendously, so much so I started to reduce the number of paracetamol I was taking. At the end of a month Paul Adkins suggested that I did not have treatment for 2 weeks. I was concerned that the pain would return, but did as was suggested and found the pain was reduced for 10 days.
Subsequently, the amount of treatment has been left for a month, I sometimes only take paracetamol once a day, but usually it is twice a day. Needless to say I am very impressed with the treatment received from The Mitchell Hill Clinic."
Doreen
"Thank you for your very exacting work on my Ba Zi reading. I was amazed at the level of accuracy you achieved in my personality and history especially."
R.D.
"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
"The treatments I’ve received at The Mitchell Hill Clinic have been skilful, professional and highly effective.
Paul Adkins has somehow combined complete professionalism with a reassuring and friendly manner that makes patients feel comfortable and relaxed. The clinic itself is chic and tranquil - a little oasis in the middle of Truro!"
Catherine
"I have noticed an improvement in my energy levels over the few weeks I have been having acupuncture. I have been sleeping better - I particularly notice this the first 2 or 3 days following treatment.
Facial acupuncture has subtly improved the overall appearance of my skin - it somehow appears 'brighter'. I feel generally more 'in balance' physically and emotionally."
Lindsay
"Dear Paul, thank you very much for the amazing treatment I received yesterday. I feel very much more "balanced" and will continue treatment."
Ann
"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."
Amanda
"I had suffered several miscarriages before being treated at The Mitchell Hill Clinic in January 2007. My GP had no answer for these miscarriages and despite being very distressed and down about the whole thing I was told that there was probably nothing wrong with me and I should just try again, I didn't feel that this was good enough and so decided to take things into my own hands.
At my initial consultation with Paul Adkins, he explained to me about the 5 Element Acupuncture he practiced. To determine which of my elements was out of balance Paul asked me questions concerning my medical history, emotional well being and lifestyle, although some of these questions were of a sensitive and personal nature, I immediately felt at ease due to his emphatic gentle approach.
We agreed on a treatment plan and each session that followed was always proceeded by a consultation to determine which pressure points he would be working on that week. Paul had an uncanny knack of gauging my well being and he put this down to the way my voice sounded, the colour of my skin and how my pulse felt. He always explained to me about the procedures he would carry out and I can honestly say that due to his professionalism I was rarely aware of feeling the very fine needles.
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.
As well as the treatment, I found being able to talk about my feelings and experience in a non 'hospitalised' environment hugely supportive and I have no doubt that he has played an important role in the successful arrival of my beautiful son."
Sally
"I first visited The Mitchell Hill Clinic approximately two years ago when I started acupuncture treatment with Paul for a thyroid condition.
I chose to combine 'conventional' medicine with acupuncture in a bid to avoid surgery and I am happy to say that my thyroid condition has been symptom free, and well under control, for the past year, without the need for surgery or any medication.
Paul is currently treating me for the symptoms of menopause and after only two treatments I am already noticing a definite improvement in my symptoms. I am confident that acupuncture treatments with Paul will continue to improve things further, and I have no doubt that the treatments have also contributed enormously to my general feelings of well being and positive energy levels over the past two years.
Paul is a very dedicated and friendly practitioner with an infectious zest for life. He always goes to a great deal of trouble to take the time to talk to his patients and to get to know them and understand their needs. I have every confidence in his knowledge and expertise and I am very happy to recommend him as a trusted acupuncture practitioner."
Angela
"At 57 I found I was putting on weight at an alarming rate.
I decided to cut alcohol from my diet for a start. One visit to The Mitchell Hill Clinic 13 months ago had the required effect. The painless acupuncture made me resolve to stop smoking too at the same time.
3 visits were enough to make a major change in my lifestyle. I got more accomplished, lost 1 and a half stone and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
Keep up the good work, a major contribution to the national health."
Philippa
"Dear Paul, I'm writing to thank you for the session of acupuncture last Wednesday. Brilliant! It was just the job - the next day, my energy was back, no catarrh, amazing!
It has certainly loosened my chest which I think is very positive."
Jane
"I commissioned a Ba Zi reading with Stacey George because I thought it would be good fun, I hadn't tried anything like this before and was curious about what might be revealed. I certainly wasn't convinced of its efficacy but I went into it with an open mind. However having completed the reading and the following meeting I was astonished with the accuracy of it, I was amazed at how much the reading had painted an extremely precise picture of my life going into very specific detail.
I learned a great deal about myself and the reading helped me to fill in many previously unexplained gaps in my life and resolved many unanswered questions in a neat and satisfactory way. In addition the reading provided many practical, and in many cases quite simple, ways for me to move forward and was presented professionally and expertly.
I would recommend anyone with an interest in self-discovery to commission a Ba Zi report with Stacey George."
J.B.
"I had acupuncture for the first time on Monday 16/11/09 and when I entered the clinic I already had the beginnings of a migraine. Anyway after the acupuncture the headache disappeared and I woke the next morning with a clear head, not with the normal muggy head I usually get. This lasted up until the Wednesday before wearing off. I am certainly going to return next Monday for further treatment. It was wonderful.
Paul was very calming and I did not feel nervous at all. He explained the process and talked me through what he was doing including how the acupuncture works."
Tracy
"I just wanted to drop a line to mention that I don't know which points you targeted yesterday but today has been one of the best days I've had in a long time - in terms of mood and pain. It's really strange but at one point I thought - I don't have any pain - and it was such a fantastic feeling... So if you could make a note of the 'needle points' (if you haven't already) - I'll have some more please."
C.L.
"I just want to report back to all the ladies that came to the Dermaroller demonstration workshop at the Mitchell Hill clinic last week.
It was a fantastic facial treatment and my skin was glowing, it really did knock 10 years off my very old age! Now over a week later, my skin looks and feels so good. The treatment has really brought my skin to life and I have lost the tired, wintry look I had. I would recommend it to anyone and I am looking forward to the next treatment.
Also there is such a lovely peaceful atmosphere in the clinic, and it's great to spend an hour in Paul's warm and humorous company."
Joan
"Hi Wonderman and sidekick Wonderwoman,
Cannot wait to tell you that you are acupuncturist supreme!! I have not taken one paracetomel since 7 am yesterday morning, had the best nights sleep for weeks. A bit stiff to start this morning, but that gave up once I got going and I can cope with this volume of pain after what I have had. Many thanks look forward to next week."
D.H.
"Dear Paul,
I'm writing to thank you for the session of acupuncture last Wednesday. Brilliant! It was just the job - the next day, my energy was back, no catarrah, amazing!"
J.P.
"I have now used a lot of their services and have been amazed by all of them in such a friendly and welcoming environment.
Paul who runs the clinic is a brilliant acupuncturist and is someone who I regularly see for general well being (he is also the pioneer of facial acupuncture!!).
Before Christmas I had the most amazing La Stone massage by Therese there and I have also seen Angela for hynotherapy there with wonderful results.
Having had a great massage from Kathryn before at Mandarin, I am also pleased to see she is now at The Mitchell Hill Clinic - a wonderful little gem in Truro."
