Multi Generational Support

“To those who have tried Acupuncture and not got on with it, I’d say you haven’t been to the right acupuncturist! Lily is amazing. Our whole family – 3 generations – use her services when required, although she’s so good, we don’t often require them!”

Lower Back Pain

“Lily has helped most of my family. First my wife, then me and then my Mum. I was suffering with lower back pain and within half a dozen sessions and some exercises it was completely sorted. I would recommend Lily to anyone.

Thanks Lily.”
