Testimonials

We take pride in our work and are thrilled to share testimonials from satisfied clients who have experienced positive changes in their health and well-being through our services.

"I look forward to seeing Lydia at her clinic. The space is warm and cosy and she is super friendly and I feel very comfortable and relaxed in her company. I have acupuncture or Tui Massage, depending on what I need on the day and she is always very accommodating. She is extremely knowledgeable and always explains the theory in great detail which I love as its a subject of great interest for me. I feel very safe with her and have had a lot of positive change as a result of my treatments and also practising the exercises I have learned from her Qi Gong classes which she runs weekly in Southbourne. I really can't recommend her enough." - M.O.

"Lydia is an extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and intuitive practitioner. She is also a lovely person and I have always felt thoroughly safe and cared-for during my treatment sessions. I have been amazed and delighted with the positive changes in my health, despite suffering from a life-long health condition for which there is "no cure" - or so the medics say! Lydia always explains everything that she is doing, and the reason for it, as your treatment progresses. Acupuncture and Tui Na seem to be able to address an extremely wide range of physical and mental/emotional ailments. I am therefore delighted to recommend Lydia as an extremely professional and gifted Complementary Health Practitioner." - D.R.
