I first went to see Aliya in February 2015 after a traumatic ectopic pregnancy. My husband and I were keen to start a family and unfortunately we were dealt quite a rough hand! I was recommended to see Ali when speaking to my homeopath to help strengthen my body and prepare for another pregnancy, I have to say I was very nervous as I had never had acupuncture before, never known anyone who had done it so I didn’t know what to expect. On my first meeting my confidence was very low and my body was not in good shape. Ali made me feel right at home and even after my first treatment I left feeling very positive. The first few sessions Ali concentrated in clearing pains, sleeping better, easing anxiety and making my body strong and ready for a baby.
We soon decided to go down the IVF route and Ali was there every step of the way. She helped alongside the drug treatment not only with the physical but also the emotional. We chose the natural frozen embryo transfer cycle and Ali saw me just before the transfer and right after which I truly believe resulted in the positive pregnancy test on the 15th November! Ali then saw me every week (sometimes even twice a week at my more anxious times) throughout the whole of my pregnancy. Not only did Ali help in getting my pregnant she then became a very important support network for me. Being pregnant after a traumatic time was very scary and I was worried about everything! Every twinge and movement I would panic about but Ali was there to reassure me and keep little baby strong and safe.
When I was ready to ‘pop’ Ali then induced me and little Amelie Iva was born on the 15th July. She came into the world very strong, healthy and most importantly to a happy and healthy mum. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have been able to do any of it without Ali and we owe a lot to her for all of her support throughout a very difficult time. Ali will have a very special place in our family and I can’t recommend her enough! Now, if that hasn’t made you want to use Ali then this will…Amelie is a false advert for babies! She is so calm and content. She loves to sleep and feed and her development is fantastic. People can’t quite believe how calm and easy she is! That is also all down to Ali making her strong and chilled throughout the pregnancy…that or she was a Buddha in a past life! The last thing I want to say, is not only will Ali help you physically, you will receive such care and emotional support, and sometimes just a friendly rational person to let off some (usually irrational) thoughts too! I have never received such care from a professional in all my time. She is wonderful! I just wish that every expectant or hoping to be expectant mother has the privilege of seeing Ali.

A visit to Meridian Acupuncture was my first experience of acupuncture. Although I was apprehensive Aliya made me feel very welcome and I was soon at ease. Each session was deeply healing and has had lasting, positive effects.

My right arm was in incredible pain to the point that I couldn’t sleep or function during the day. My doctors had just prescribed painkillers which just was not working. One session with Ali and the right arm/shoulder pain was completely relieved. Cannot thank Ali enough for her amazing skill and ability to cure my pain. Ali is absolutely wonderful!

Hi my name is Mehak. I’m with Aliya from last 9 months, she’s a great human being. My partner and I were trying for baby from 2014. I had endometriosis which was discovered by doctors in 2014. I had cyst removal surgery in 2016 and started trying for baby again but no positive result. I met Aliya when I was totally fed up from my life seeing negative pregnancy test results. When I met Aliya for the first time I still remember it was 1hr and 45 min session. In my first session with her during initial assessment I cried for 45 mins before she started the treatment. Great thing Is Aliya never make false promises, in first meeting She clearly said she can’t promise the pregnancy but acupuncture does help in fertility related issues. From 2014-2016 every month my periods used to get delayed by 5-10 days and The discharge used to be brown colour. Aliya told me that my womb was not well oxygenated that’s why I bleed brown. She started treating me and within 30-40 days I started feeling great, no headaches, my periods got regular and the colour was bright red. I started feeling healthy and very very happy. I took pregnancy test in feb 2017 and it was positive. I was so overwhelmed to see that, the credit goes to Aliya. Today I’m 30 weeks pregnant, I’ve been regular with Aliya and Never missed even a single session. Acupuncture has kept me active and healthy throughout my pregnancy. My partner and I we are glad to have Aliya in our life. Aliya will always be first mother to my child and we are thankful to her and acupuncture for this beautiful blessing. I recommend Meridian Acupuncture, if anyone needs any help or want to discuss any thing about acupuncture feel free to contact me.

I had heard about acupuncture for the five elements from a friend who lives quite a way away and told me to research this treatment for imbalanced emotions. I first saw Ali in Oct 14 initially as I was having trouble getting upset about my father (for no reason – he was fine!) and after just one session I didnt cry since. I continued to see Ali on a regular basis to keep me feeling balanced and to also help with my Colitis – an ongoing digestive condition. Whilst I was there Ali would ensure my health was okay in other areas – one of which I was even aware was ‘normal’ was night sweats during menstruation. I continued to visit Ali every now and again to keep these ailments at bay, if I was going through stressful times or feeling low then this would keep me topped up.
In Nov 16 I unfortunately suffered a miscarriage and Ali performed appropriate acupuncture to nourish my body at a very low time and help also to help balance my emotions. I began seeing a therapist in January and returned to Ali in May 17 as I was struggling to get my periods back to normal following the miscarriage and was also dealing with my Dad being diagnosed with cancer. Ali performed the acupuncture and gave me guidance of things to do to bring things back inline. In June 17 my husband and I were finally ready to try again and Ali performed bi-monthly acupuncture to prepare my body to become pregnant and give me the best chances of a successful conception. After a few sessions and following her guidance/homework to the letter (she really knows her stuff, but you have to be committed and do what she says at home!) by the end of July I became pregnant!!!!! ? Upon seeing that ‘dreamed of’ blue line on the pregnancy test, I then visited Ali on a weekly basis until I reached 12 weeks. This was to keep the pregnancy strong, calm my expected anxiousness following previous miscarriage and also to treat my morning sickness. Not only did it do all of these things but it actually was such a relief to be able to visit someone on a weekly basis who is an expert in their field and so reassuring. In days when my anxiety was very bad, Ali would keep me calm and reassure me all of my symptoms were right on track and the pregnancy was going perfectly. Without this I am not sure how I would have got through the first trimester – she really is like a fairy godmother, always there in your times of need xx.
