“I made faster progress with Mandy’s treatment than I had with any medicine that I’d gotten from my GP for Long-Covid.” - Lily’s case study

Lily came to me in the summer of 2021 after suffering for over a year with Long-Covid which had resulted in her having to move back home from London to Wales so that she could be cared for by her parents.

Long-Covid is the terrible aftermath that a small percentage of people suffer with after contracting Covid-19. Symptoms can affect the respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, psychological and psychiatric systems. 

“I had extreme breathlessness, heart palpitations, tinnitus, arm pain, joint pain, neuralgia and general body weakness from being in bed for over a year and I was quite anxious about going out” 

Lily

Lily was suffering from a multitude of physical symptoms as well as anxiety due to not being able to go out for such a long time.

Thank you Lily for sharing your extremely tough story. I am so pleased that I have had the honour to work with you and help you reach a much healthier place both physically and mentally.

Carry on reading to hear Lily’s full story…

“I reached out to Mandy specifically as she seemed extremely well qualified in what I was looking for and very experienced. When I looked further it was her excellent reviews online that finally made up my mind.

I was a little apprehensive as I’d never had acupuncture before and the prospect of a stranger putting needles in you is slightly concerning, however as soon as I had my first session with Mandy the nerves fell away.”

“Before seeing Mandy my progress had been extremely slow and I felt like I was getting nowhere, but there were huge improvements week on week from seeing her.” 

Lily

“Physically I believe Mandy gave my body the space it needed to begin healing itself. I couldn’t seem to turn the breathlessness off and I was extremely jumpy to loud noises, surprises etc. Every time I left Mandy’s clinic, I felt deeply relaxed and even though I had been talking to her the breathlessness and palpitations seemed to switch off.

I believe it was Mandy herself who really healed me psychologically. Having a long-term sickness from a disease that is mostly invisible is a lot to deal with. I had lost my life, my future plans, prospect of a job, all independence, a social life, etc. Mandy could not have been kinder. She created an extremely safe space for me to share my thoughts and feelings in a judgement free confidential environment.”

“Mandy and her five-element acupuncture treatments completely exceeded my expectations and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

Lily

“Going to see Mandy gave me a lot of confidence back that I had lost, through her acupuncture she showed me that my body was still strong and would be able to get back to where I was. This was proved in the week between appointments where I was able to do a little more every week.

When I first went to Mandy the list was so long I couldn’t even remember them all. Having five-element acupuncture calmed and reoriented my body so a lot of the symptoms fell away. From starting with about twenty by the time I left her care I was only dealing with approximately two to three.”

“I would definitely recommend Mandy and her treatments. Her care is nothing like I have ever experienced before.”
