Treatment Type: De-stressing and balancing emotions

5.0 out of 5
I started seeing Ali just over a year ago, I was on the brink of a diagnosis of Fibro Myalgia and had been off work with chronic fatigue. My main symptom at that stage was a near constant fluey aching feeling, I have a demanding job and had started to wonder if I could continue working, I am also a single mum to a 5 year old so working (and an income) is a priority for me.
After my first visit to Ali, my achy painful symptoms stopped, in the past year I have had the odd days re-occurrence but nothing more, which is hard to believe given where I was when I first met her.
I see Ali most months and have had treatment for periods (which has stopped mid cycle bleeds), a painful back (the pain ceased that evening), for stress management and general health maintenance.
My treatment with Ali has given me back a life quality which I was losing, I look forward to the sessions and always feel an emotional un-lift after each visit. I will continue to see Ali regularly as a way of managing my health going forward. Thank you Ali:).
P. S I recommended my sister to Ali following an unsuccessful attempt at IVF, I’m pleased to say my sister is 14 weeks pregnant (through natural means).

When I first went to see Ali I was at quite a low ebb and dealing with a couple of health issues including IBS, painful periods, low mood and I had also been trying to get pregnant for about 6 years. After the first few sessions I noticed a definite improvement in my periods, the pain has lessened which was such a relief. The most startling outcome was a fell pregnant after a few months of treatment and I believe the acupuncture played a big part in this. I continued to have sessions to try and make sure the pregnancy was as strong as possible and think the definitely helped to get me to where I am now, which is 7 months pregnant. I would definitely go back to Ali for treatment in the future.

I have been having acupuncture for 7 years and have been seeing Ali regularly for the last 2.5 years. As a mother of 2 children with a full time, senior job my life is very busy! I use acupuncture as a way to de-stress, relax, and remain well.

Ali is an excellent Acupuncturist, she takes the time to listen and understand you and your body before providing the right treatment. She is happy to explain anything she is doing and why she is doing it (this differs from other acupuncturists I have seen). The results of Ali’s treatments are fantastic and the relaxation it provides is something that I cannot do without. It helps me to remain calm and stress free with the balancing act of my busy life.

Unsurprisingly Ali is in high demand…. I therefore always book in advance for my next 3 sessions, to ensure I don’t miss out!

I first came to see Aliya for acupuncture when I moved back home towards the end of my pregnancy. It had been a stressful period and I was booked in for a cesarean. The treatment really helped to keep me calm and prepare me for the birth. I felt the benefits quickly and have since been continuing treatment to help with my recovery post cesarean. Not only has Aliya helped to keep me calm during the postnatal period, but she has also helped my scar to heal, and has reduced the numbness. What I particularly like about Aliya’s approach is that she tailors each session to your needs, and she gives feedback throughout the treatment process to help you feel at ease. She has also given me great advice in other aspects of health and well being, and is very easy to talk to. I will be moving out of the area again soon, but I will continue treatment with Aliya whenever possible.

I found Aliya when my husband and I were almost at the point of believing we would never conceive and carry to term a baby. We had suffered the turmoil of consecutive miscarriages and then failing to conceive for over a year. I remembered seeing a piece about the benefits of acupuncture and much to our relief after some searching I came across Aliya’s name.

At my first treatment Aliya immediately put me at ease and gave me the confidence that we would get there. Aliya identified a number of areas we needed to work on and overtime we addressed them all. Acupuncture is a wonderful treatment method and Aliya is a gifted practitioner. Believe it or not Aliya knew I was pregnant before I did!

This wasn’t a quick process, it took time, but I believed in Aliya and trusted that she could help us. I think that for me was one of the most important things. Aliya is just lovely and I can’t think of a nicer person to help you through one of the hardest times of your life.

Aliya goes the extra mile and fitted me in for treatments to ensure that the pregnancy stayed strong and rooted. After some early bleeding I had a treatment and on the way home it felt as though our little embryo was burrowing deep into my womb. I continued to see Aliya throughout my pregnancy and I’m pleased to say the treatments all worked as I delivered a very healthy baby boy after suffering with gestational diabetes.

After our baby was born Aliya did a wonderful light treatment for him, which he loved.

I often hear people say they didn’t get on with acupuncture, to which I always say, well you should go and see Aliya.

We’re just so thankful that I found Aliya as everyday we now get to see our miracle baby enjoying life and growing happily.

I started seeing Ali in October 2015 after 5 years of trying to conceive and one failed round of IVF. She gave me hope and supported me through a stressful time. Within 2-3 sessions my almost daily migraines had completely gone and then slowly my periods started to get less painful and stretching to 28 days. I had my IVF cycle the following February and had some bleeding at 4 weeks but I continued with regular Acupuncture sessions and though we did have some bumps along the way (no pun intended) I now have a healthy baby boy. I will definitely be booking in to see Ali again and will continue to do so regularly. Thank you Aliya! F x.

I saw Aliya following a google search for pregnancy acupuncture and was not disappointed. She instantly made me feel relaxed and at ease. I had been booked in for an induction and had several concerns about this. However, as a result of IVF, my pregnancy journey had been difficult and I had almost resigned myself to the fact that the birth was going to be an overly medical experience I would have to endure too. After seeing Aliya though, I was able to become much more in tune with my body and had an incredibly positive birth experience with hardly any pain relief or medical intervention. As an added bonus, my heart burn also disappeared completely!
