“My husband has his fun, loving, happy wife back.” Marilyn’s case study
Marilyn's five-element acupuncture journey with me began after she had received physiotherapy for severe arthritis pain. Marilyn found that the physiotherapy treatment helped but not enough, so she decided to try acupuncture.
‘Emotions that come along with the pain, fatigue and other physical symptoms of Arthritis can be surprising and even overwhelming.’
Arthritis Foundation
Marilyn’s severe arthritis not only caused her physical pain, but she also felt as though she was losing her strength and love of life.
‘I felt it was a chore for me to continue living in pain.’

Thank you, Marilyn, for agreeing to open up and speak about your experience, I hope it is inspiring for other women to know that you don’t have to suffer, help is at hand. Carry on reading to hear how my five-element acupuncture treatments helped Marilyn feel more resilient and how it's changed her life for the better.
“When researching Acupuncturists in my local area, I was drawn to Mandy because on reading her website I felt she was understanding, professional and kind.
I was looking to have acupuncture treatment to help with my severe arthritis that was causing me a lot of discomfort and pain. I was also suffering with my mental health as a result of this and felt as though I was losing my sense of self.
Upon visiting the clinic, it was welcoming and extremely clean. The treatment exceeded all of my expectations and after just the first session, I felt so much better. After 6 sessions and regular maintenance sessions, physically, the pain is less and my mind is stronger.
I have found three main benefits of having acupuncture: ‘
A reduction of pain/being able to cope better with the pain
Being able to reduce my pain medication
Spending an hour in the company of someone who listens”
“The most important thing for healing is the relationship of the practitioner, the spirits, and the patient.”

“I would definitely recommend Mandy’s five-element acupuncture treatments. She is caring, professional and very passionate about what she can do to help.
Visiting Mandy changed me back from being someone who felt they couldn't go on, to someone who feels they can cope with anything.”
“I now look forward to a bright future being able to be a wife, mother and grandmother with strength and enthusiasm.”
