I had recently collapsed in A&E, been taken into hospital then discharged and I had then had a car crash on the morning of my first appointment. During my first acupuncture session I remember a calming, understanding experience and a discreet approach to my problems.
At the time, I had weekly sessions and I remember feeling that for about three days after each treatment my symptoms were lessened and I felt generally more comfortable.
I had slight concerns about potential pain but these were allayed by Jonathan’s thoughtful manner and careful treatment. Another concern was not really being willing to accept that it might help - as I didn’t understand how it could possibly work, but it probably doesn’t matter how it works as long as it helps!
I now have shiatsu massage and I have started to learn that time spent on oneself is valuable and not self-indulgent as I previously thought. I still struggle with understanding how and why it works though!
