"I had been having trouble sleeping and had very low energy levels after recently starting a new job. I don't like taking pills or medication and so a friend recommended acupuncture to me. I was a bit sceptical about the benefits but I thought it was worth a shot.

Treatments with Pamela were fantastic – she was warm and friendly and this really helped me to open up and to be honest about how I was feeling. She was a model professional and I always felt that I was in safe hands! Despite her professionalism, it always felt as if I was going to see a friend rather than a practitioner. I think that this is just the way it should be.

By the third treatment, I had really felt the benefits of acupuncture. My sleep had improved and my energy levels had been restored. I can honestly say that after my third treatment, I felt the best that I had in many years. After this I just had to go for a couple of very small treatments to help sustain it. On one occasion, Pamela decided that I didn't need any treatment that week, so she sent me home without charge.

After experiencing acupuncture treatment first-hand, I would definitely recommend it to anyone, particularly those who feel they need a general boost in energy. In addition, I can without reservation, say that Pamela is a fantastic practitioner who made a real difference in my life in just a small space of time."

Having received acupuncture with Pam I would highly recommend her. I have had a series of acupuncture sessions with Pam and been very pleased with the results. After each session I have seen a noticeable improvement in my condition and have found the results to be increasingly long-lasting. Now I only need to visit Pam if I feel I need a top up!

Initially, I was apprehensive about having the treatment as I have a fear of needles, however, Pam’s calm and reassuring manner enabled me to feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. Pam is very easy to talk to and takes great care and attention in all aspects of treatment.

I am very grateful to Pamela, since going for treatment with her my digestive problems have improved dramatically. Pamela is very friendly, understanding and supportive of any problem I have or anything I want to talk about (sometimes I think I use her as a counsellor as well!). I find my sessions very relaxing and they have improved my overall general well -being no end.

Already convinced of the benefits of acupuncture after treatment elsewhere for sciatica, digestive problems, and menopausal symptoms; I had no hesitation in embarking on treatment for a minor knee injury which Pamela was easily able to relieve. However, during my discussions with her I became aware that I had also been experiencing chronic anxiety over a considerable length of time.

Both extremely professional and compassionate, Pamela demonstrated surprising maturity and concern for a burdensome responsibility which I had previously felt unable to share. With the help of her treatment, to which I always looked forward, I was liberated from the intensity of my worries and strengthened emotionally.

Pamela has an extraordinary level of commitment to Five Element Acupuncture which offers her the opportunity to work with all aspects of her patients’ well-being. She is an unusually gifted practitioner.
