Lesley is just the nicest person, as well as being a hugely well qualified acupuncturist, having studied in China, and she also provides a whole host of other treatments for which she is also extremely well qualified - her waiting room walls are filled with certificates and qualifications.
She offers a professional yet kind and understanding service, and takes a whole body approach to her healing services.
I was a little dubious about acupuncture before going to Lesley, as a scientist I have a deep need to understand all the medicines and treatments I get and I understood very little about acupuncture, it was recommended by my pain clinic doctor so I thought I would give it a go - and was rather surprised and impressed.
I would also highly recommend acupuncture with Lesley for digestive issues - which I had serious issues with and the GP advised there was nothing more they could do - a couple of treatments with Lesley and things already "moved" in the right direction ;-)
The pricing is very reasonable, I have looked at other services not just in the area but also further afield, and none of them had her qualifications, OK acupuncture is not cheap, it is available on the NHS but try getting your GP surgery to agree to it ( apparently it is up to each surgery, and my Newbury surgery said no), however the service that Lesley offers just includes so much, and is really effective.
The advice Lesley offers is so wide ranging and effective, all based on proven treatments - I just cannot recommend her enough, although as I am writing this review I hope I am not selling myself out of a slot with Lesley, as the treatments make such a big difference to my quality of life.
She will Listen to you, investigate, try to understand all your issues and work out how they interact and make a treatment plan for you, which she adjusts as and when you need it to - her clinic is a calm sanctuary, where you can be still and just take some time to benefit from the treatments, or have a chat about anything from issues and concerns, to how your children are doing - the choice is yours.
When it comes to medical care, especially something you have not tried before, qualifications and trust are important, as well as someone who will listen to you and take on board all of your symptoms.
Lesley is extremely trustworthy, hugely well qualified,offers a wide range of services ( not just acupuncture), and is genuinely interested in fixing what ails you, and if it not fixable ( like me) on making you as comfortable as you can possibly be.
