'Three years ago, I sought Rick's help for an ongoing health issue that was not responding consistently to other therapies. As a busy mother of 3 I have treatment that maintains my good health, my sleep and my energy levels.

 'Now in my sixties, I find that energy levels required for active grandparenting are a challenge, and aches and pains from lifting small children , gardening and life in general start to present themselves. Over the last two years I have undergone an acupuncture regime which helps keep me fit and able to live as I want. Beyond the physical symptoms, Richard has treated me for emotional stress, grief and problems with sleep, all of which has been highly beneficial.' - Judy
