It is with a heartfelt thank you that I would like to give Aliya. She offered a friendly, confidential, professional service and supported me through an extremely difficult time. This enabled me to feel relaxed during our sessions and for days after. I had treatment before, during and after my IVF journey. I became pregnant and had a beautiful little girl. I truly believe my acupuncture sessions contributed to my successful, healthy pregnancy and a perfect baby. Thank you x

I had acupuncture with Aliya to assist with fertility. After a number of years with unexplained infertility, I became pregnant and had a baby from our 5th IVF cycle. During the time that we were trying to conceive I found acupuncture to be so helpful as not only were the sessions very relaxing, Aliya would give suggestions of what I needed to focus on. The sessions improved my cycles noticeably and gave me something within my control to focus on which I found so useful when going through infertility which feels so out of your control. I believe that Aliya really helped me not only through the acupuncture sessions themselves but also with general well-being and minimising stress and when I became pregnant I knew how to prioritise that above all else.

Aliya made a huge difference, not only to my physical health but to my overall well being. I highly recommend acupuncture with Aliya!

I started seeing Aliya in July 2019 due to some mild but persistent MS symptoms. Whilst I still have some symptoms, they are definitely much improved. Also, my monthly cycle now no longer rules my life, as it has done since I was 13. Aliya makes sure I don’t suffer with my periods in any way and this has massively improved my physical and mental wellbeing. Aliya is absolutely amazing and I can honestly say she has changed my life! Thank you Aliya, you have a client for life and I can’t recommend you enough x.

I had a number of sessions with Ali to support me through a fertility process. Ali was always so kind and compassionate and I found the sessions really relaxing during a difficult time.

On Oct 18 2018 I first consulted Ali for treatment to my right hand trigger finger and neck pain. Both of these are now almost completely cured. On Nov 13th this year I sought help for pain in the hip and right knee, which was almost continuous and unbearable. I have now reached the point when I rarely take pain relief. The acupuncture treatment was really beneficial and I would certainly recommend it highly.

I booked 2 treatments with Aliya at Meridian Acupuncture, with the hope that it would help with inducing labour. I was overdue at the time of my appointments.
Aliya was thorough and patient throughout the initial consultation while we established the additional areas I wanted to help and work on.
She appeared knowledgeable and confident in her practice, yet focused and guided by the in the moment ques of how my body responded to the treatment.
I would whole heartedly recommend Aliya to anyone considering acupuncture treatment (and I have already bought a gift voucher for a treatment for a family member)! I am also likely to attend further treatments to help nurture and realign my body and its ailments.

Over the last three years I have seen Aliya twice for acupuncture to help induce labour for both of my pregnancies. Both times I have seen Aliya to try to steer clear of a medical induction (due to having too much fluid in my bump – polyhydromnious – the hospital said they would medically induce me on my due date if I didn’t begin the process naturally by then). With my first pregnancy I had my little boy three days early and I definitely think this was because of acupuncture (I had two treatments the week before my due date). I did the same this time around. Baby boy was booked in for an induction but as I arrived on the ward I actually went into labour naturally and didn’t require the induction which I do believe was down to the acupuncture readying my body in advance. Aliya put me at ease straight away and talked me through everything getting a thorough picture of my history and only doing treatments that I felt comfortable with. I strongly believe in acupuncture with Aliya and would recommend it to anybody.

I have been seeing Ali for over 5 years. She is absolutely Wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She takes her time to listen, often asking questions about issues you never think to mention…Then explains how everything is connected. I started seeing Ali when preparing for a second pregnancy at the age of 45. The IVF worked first time, despite a history of five previous miscarriages!She is a wonderful gift to the world and I would urge anybody reading this and struggling with fertility, to please go along, listen and believe! Thank you Ali, see you soon xx.

After suffering from anxiety and undetected postnatal depression for some time I knew I needed to rebalance myself. I wanted to try everything I could before taking medication (which seemed to be the only answer when speaking to anyone in the western medical profession). Aliya was recommended and I knew that her practice which incorporates five elements, not just TCM, would rebalance me in readiness to tackle the next phase of my life and to be a calmer more grounded person. After the first session the feeling and weight of that elephant sitting on my chest had disappeared. I felt calmer and less on the edge of my emotions, without the constant feeling of bursting into tears. My husband also noticed the instant change in me and the positive benefits it had. So much so that he also started acupuncture sessions by the time I had my next session. I’ve been seeing Aliya for almost a year now and notice how much she has helped me feel like me again. I can’t recommend Aliya enough.
