There’s 2 parts to this page on personal recommendations.
At the top is where you can write your own personal recommendation.
And below are testimonials from patients I have treated. I’m really grateful for my patients who take the time to tell others about acupuncture and about their experience of having treatment with me. I hope these reviews inspire others to seek out treatment, so they too can reap the benefits of acupuncture.
If you would like to write a personal recommendation, you have several options:
Hand-write your review and hand it to me or reception at Beauty Oasis.
Fill in the form below
It’s even more helpful if you choose to write your review on Google / Yell / Facebook (links above) as this reaches a wider audience
You can write a few words, a few sentances or a few paragraphs!
Sometimes it’s hard to know what to write, so here are a few simple questions to help.
Feel free to answer them in your own way, or write something completely different if you prefer. Even just a star rating would be great! 1. Did you have any worries before booking with me? Did the things you were worried about come true, and if not, what happened instead? 2. How did you feel after the treatment? 3. How has having treatments helped you? Can you share any specific results? 4. If you were telling a friend about me, what would you say?
Thank you so much for your time!

“I first visited Dee for acupuncture treatment about 10 years ago, for arthritis which was starting in my hands. I have consulted her many times since and continue to see her when needed. She has helped me enormously with arthritis, joint and muscle issues particularly but also with my tricky digestive system. I would unhesitatingly recommend her 100%. She is wholly professional, kind, sympathetic and extremely knowledgeable. I have always felt that my treatments are beneficial in all sorts of ways, directly but also more subtly in overall wellbeing. Thank you Dee!”
– JR
“Dee has been very helpful to me through various injuries and ailments. She is always very sympathetic and understanding, and her treatments have been very effective.” – HS
“Dee is very thorough and does an extensive pre appointment . I have to say I was very skeptical going into this type of therapy. I had exhausted every avenue for my injuries through NHS. My problems were an injured wrist and elbow sustained through my working life. My wife talked me into going to see Dee as she benefited from acupuncture in the past. Dee explained the whole process and put me at ease. After the first needle was put in I felt no pain however as it was manipulated by Dee she asked when I could feel any thing? and I have to say I did fell a buzzing as she got to the right spot.
I have had 5 sessions of acupuncture and have had electrical current (electro-acupuncture) passed through my arm and wrist. I have benefited hugely from my treatment and looking forward to my session tomorrow. As a skeptic I would recommend going to see Dee as she is a true professional and I am a convert. However I still don’t know why she looks at my tongue.” – SW

“Endured Shingles for 11 months reaching a pain plateau with traditional medicines I sought further help. NHS website mentions Acupuncture as a possible source of relief. Dee was recommended and from the initial appointment I haven’t looked back. Subsequent sessions have noticeably reduced the pain level allowing a cut back of the traditional medicine. My aim is to have the Shingles completely under control by mid September and I’m relying on Dee to help get me there. Thoroughly reccommended.”
– RW
“Before visiting Dee I was really struggling with allergies; I was taking a lot of antihistamine with diminishing results. Although initially sceptical, after a few months of Dee’s care I am amazed at how much better I feel. Dee really listens to how you are feeling and provides a relaxing and calming environment in which to receive treatment. As well as the acupuncture itself she offers great lifestyle advice, which is easy to incorporate into everyday practice. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
