My wife and I had been trying for a child for 4 years and had unsuccessful fertility treatments. Although there was no obvious problem we were among a growing number of couples that have an unspecified infertility problem. We met Richard through personal recommendation and had acupuncture over a number of sessions. When we had another course fertility treatment in the summer of 2008 my wife became pregnant and gave birth to our beautiful twins in March 2009. Not only are we sure that the acupuncture help with conceiving and ensuring the pregnancy was successful I also found that the sessions helped deal with a stressful period at work and general well being. We found Richard to be professional and informative, and whole heartily recommend his practice.

I first went to see Richard, when I was 38, on recommendation from a friend who also had fertility problems but went onto conceive naturally after being treated by him. I started having regular sessions when I was undergoing IVF treatment.  As one of our issues was male factor, I persuaded my husband to be treated as well, even though he was needle phobic! Just after 1 session, my husband’s count trebled and the morphology motility rates improved too. We were lucky enough to conceive via frozen embryo transfer in 2006.

In 2008 we tried for a sibling for our son and I had a few more sessions with Richard. My husband was also treated, and after just 1 session, we managed to conceive naturally. Our daughter was born in July this year.

We found Richard to be professional and courteous at all times & would highly recommend him – after all the results speak for themselves!

I was always delighted and impressed with Richard’s friendly and professional manner. I always felt comfortable with him and definitely greatly benefited from the many treatments I had.  The fluid retention I had has improved a lot, my digestion is much stronger these days, and I have not felt the need to have any more treatments so far.  I feel my constitution has strengthened as a result, so thank you very much indeed.

Three years ago, I first 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.  I often recommend Rick as he is a kind, considerate and gentle professional who has achieved excellent results for me and those I have introduced to him.

I have been a client of Rick’s for three years. He is always approachable and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I have been having acupuncture with Richard since 2005. I have always found him to be a professional, caring and insightful practitioner who is always willing to take time to explain his treatment and how that is related to physical and emotional vulnerabilities.  His treatment has helped a great deal in strengthening my constitution.

Karen

I have always found Richard to be an excellent practitioner. He emits a sea of calm and quiet authority, which combined with his genuine desire to help people, makes him a natural healer. He has aided members of my family and me to good health and I have no hesitations in recommending Richard to anyone who requires his services.

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 maintenance regime which helps to keep me fit and able to live life 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

I decided to see Richard for acupuncture treatment after discovering that I had fertility issues – 10 million sperm count, 5% motility, 96% abnormal forms.

From the initial consultation I have found Richard to be an exceptionally personable man. He instantly put me at ease and has really helped me to make sense of the position I found myself in. He also has been able to clearly communicate the complexities of the treatment in a way I can understand.

I have now had six sessions, all of which I have come away from feeling increasingly more positive about my situation. My latest semen analysis results show what I consider to be an incredible improvement – 44 million sperm count, 68% motility and 72% abnormal forms, which is considered to be ‘normal’.

I am in no doubt that acupuncture combined with a healthy lifestyle is an extremely effective process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard or indeed using his services to treat other issues.

Nick

I went to see Rick for an acupuncture treatment in desperation, after 6 weeks of terrible nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. I did not want to resort to prescription pills and had heard good things about the effects of acupuncture on morning sickness. It worked and I would highly recommend him to anyone else!

Ellie

I found treatment particularly helpful when I developed SPD, and was experiencing severe pain in my pelvis and pubic area. The acupuncture definitely eased the painful symptoms I was experiencing.
