General Health

I’m a GP and first saw Marian four years ago following a miscarriage. Soon after starting treatments with her I was pregnant again and continued with the sessions throughout my pregnancy, resulting in safe delivery of my daughter.

This year after five months plus of terrible health following presumed COVID 19 infection I returned to her for treatment. Having never been seriously unwell in my life I’ve had months of exhaustion, shortness of breath, exertional palpitations, dipping oxygen levels, headaches, dizziness, and all sorts of neurological symptoms. Standard western medical approach confirms some physiological issues but no specific diagnosis or effective treatment has been found. So I returned to Marian to see if acupuncture would help.

I’ve had two sessions so far, after the first I felt immediately calmer and happier, and my symptoms have improved day by day since. My energy levels are better and I’m more able to function in my day-to-day life. My body feels good after my second session today and I feel my heart rate is behaving more normally since I started the treatment. Overall I’m definitely making progress now and I’m hopeful I will make a full recovery in time.

As a doctor I’m fully aware there are myriad issues that traditional western medicine can neither explain nor fix in our lives and incorporating other approaches such as acupuncture can be enormously powerful (and empowering).

Marian is kind, thorough, holistic and knowledgeable, I have great faith in her expertise and would highly recommend her to others. She creates a safe and healing space in her sessions in addition to the specific treatments she offers. Thank you!

Long Covid/Post viral symptoms - Emily

I started to see Marian when suffering from a longer form of COVID 19. My symptoms included difficulty sleeping, chest pains, feeling of low mood & anxiety, bodily aches and extreme fatigue. When I started the course of acupuncture I was having to rest in bed for usually 1 or 2 days a week. After seeing Marian quite regularly over 2 months, my symptoms had dramatically reduced, in particular difficulty with sleep had gone and my general energy levels greatly increased. I have no doubt the sessions with Marian were the key to my recovery, and after 3 months I was able to feel a calmer version of myself, even than before suffering from COVID. The sessions themselves were extremely relaxing and returned my body and mind to it's rest state. I am extremely grateful for my time with Marian.

Long Covid - Caroline

I had been suffering from fatigue and a whole host of other unpleasant symptoms after contracting the Covid virus.

I felt utterly terrible and frightened that my life would not return to normal.

After receiving my first treatment of acupuncture from Marian, my symptoms heightened. But something extraordinary was happening.

Congestion that had been stuck for months started to move and leave my body. I endured this for three days. It was physically very powerful.

As a result everything improved, my chest and breathing, my sinus pain, my fatigue and my overall wellbeing. I continue to see Marian and my health continues to improve.

I’ve been having acupuncture with Marian periodically over the last few years to help with a number of problems including insomnia, musculo-skeletal problems, and peri-menopause. It has always helped me and therefore it was the obvious choice to help with my on-going Covid-19 recovery.

I had a ‘mild’ version of Covid, but it has been a long illness with symptoms going on for months, including fatigue, chest pain, breathlessness, sore throat, loss of taste/smell and muscle pains. I’ve had only four sessions so far and happily I am finally starting to heal. The chest pain, breathlessness and sore throats have abated, my energy levels are increasing and the muscle pains are disappearing. It’s been steady progress and a welcome relief after months of suffering. I’d highly recommend Marian’s expert help to resolve on-going, stubborn Covid symptoms.

The treatment I received from Marian helped me recover from lung surgery both medically and psychologically, using her expertise in acupuncture and the EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) that helped me feel more in control of my pain and recovery. Highly professional wiht a good dose of empathy and humour, Marian helped me feel that I was being cared for as a person as well as a patient.
