Laura’s case study on how Acupuncture helped her not only with her painful periods, but also so much more

“The whole experience has been hugely reassuring during a difficult time”

I first met Laura a few years ago, at a previous clinic. I was supporting her through her IVF cycle. Laura got back in touch this year because her menstrual cycles were causing her much pain and having such an impact on her. Laura explained that her heavy bleeding and intense pain was so bad that it was getting more and more difficult to carry out her day-to-day life.

“Over the last few years, I have had serious issues with my periods including heavy bleeding and intense pain. After two scans, a referral to gynecology and still no answers I started to think about approaching the problem in a different way. I have also had traumatic things happen to me during this time which had left me mentally and emotionally depleted”

“These issues were significantly affecting my everyday life. I had to plan my work and family life around my periods as I couldn’t function. Overall I felt really out of balance physically and emotionally”

Even right after her first visit, she felt calmer.  Laura confirmed that as the sessions went on, this feeling of calm remained and began to have an impact on her life more and more. 

“Do it with passion or not at all”

Laura told me that ‘After using a different acupuncturist, I didn’t feel I was getting a personalised experience. You were recommended by a friend because of your holistic approach and because of your experience with IVF patients. With my current issues many years later, it was important to me to use someone I trusted which is why I choose to travel to see you rather than use someone local to me.’

“When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.”

Laura has now had 10 treatments and she says that she cannot believe how life-changing the work we have done together was…

“After my introduction appointments, I felt calm straight after and for a few days but it wasn’t maintained. However, once Mandy began my treatment plan which included restorative sessions, I felt an immediate improvement in my whole well-being. 

My energy levels increased significantly, I felt calm, balanced, and able to go about my daily life with much more ease. 

The last period I had was completely different. I had less bleeding and a lot less pain. I was able to enjoy social activities which in the past I would have cancelled. I am so happy with the outcomes so far. I had hoped acupuncture would help but it has so far exceeded my expectations”

“The whole experience has been hugely reassuring during a very difficult time”

Laura

I asked Laura to reflect on what would be three other benefits of having five-element acupuncture treatments and how she has felt after her treatment, Laura identified the following as having the biggest impact on her:

A very personalised compassionate approach. I feel like I am being listened to and then the treatment is adapted to my needs.

How it can treat physical and emotional issues simultaneously.
It can be used alongside western medicine.

The whole experience has been hugely reassuring during a very difficult time. It is clear you are passionate about helping people feel better. You do this by combining a high level of skill and knowledge with a lot of compassion for your patients. 

From Mandy:

Thank you, Laura, for being open and happy to share your story to inspire other women to think about their own well-being.

I have met many women over the years who have suffered from this debilitating issue that has such an impact on their lives. I feel so passionate that this should not be the case and that treatment can be life-changing. In my experience just a course of sessions can make such a difference.
