I turned to Joy during the first IVF cycle as I had heard that acupuncture could help to alleviate any side effects from the drugs. Joy was amazing. The weekly sessions not only helped to reduce the side effects of the drugs (I didn't have any!) but also reduced stress and helped me to relax. Unfortunately, we had to abandon the first IVF cycle as the endometriosis had returned. I needed to have another operation and I continued to have weekly sessions with Joy. I was ready to start IVF again, this time the endometriosis hadn't returned and I do believe it was the acupuncture that had really helped to keep it suppressed. After our second attempt at IVF (our first full cycle) and within 5 months of seeing Joy I became pregnant - we were in shock and even my consultant couldn't believe it! I continued to see Joy throughout my pregnancy and on the 29th April, 4 years after we started trying, I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy Sonny. I really can't thank Joy enough as she made our dream come true. I can highly recommend Joy as not only did the acupuncture work for us, I also found a really good friend." Julie Landeman Thyroid Imbalance: Hypothryoidism I've suffered from hypothyroidism for many years with its accompanying lethargy and low mood. I was initially a massage client of Joy's and after a year and a half of gentle persuasion booked in with her for acupuncture. What a difference its made. I feel much more energetic and the "fog" that I used to wake up with is gone. My sugar cravings are significantly reduced - I can even let that last piece of cake go. I've been treated by Joy nearly weekly for 9 months now. Just as she said, in the beginning the treatment would only "hold" for a few days, but as we have progressed my periods of normality are increasing and I have more energy to get on with life. Joy sincerely cares about her patients and goes that extra mile to maximize the treatment. After a few sceptical attempts at acupuncture with other people, I am glad to have found a skilled and results oriented practitioner like Joy. Malika Depression If I hadn't experienced the benefits personally - some, almost immediately - I wouldn't have believed it possible. My first appointment with Joy was with complaint of agonising tennis elbow. The pain was exhausting and led along my arm to my shoulder, neck and upper back. Joy advised that these problem areas indicated issues with my large intestine! After just one session of acupuncture the pain in my arm was greatly reduced and my digestion improved enormously. Joy and I discussed too that I would often wake two to four times during the night needing to use the bathroom. I would return to bed and not be able to go back to sleep. Sleep and restful nights have resumed and I seldom even wake during the night now let alone need the loo! Incredibly heavy periods and painful cramps have vastly improved and I've stopped taking iron tablets for anaemia. Additionally, as my emotions are becoming more balanced I am thrilled to be reducing anti-depressants which have been prescribed to me since the late 90's. Joy is also working on my high blood pressure. This will be a longer process and one that we hope will show improvement after 6-8 sessions. I have every faith! L. Taylor Hair Loss and Fatigue I met Joy in August, with a complaint that included inflammation in both hands and wrists, substantial hair loss, and general fatigue. I found the initial consultation very enlightening and informative and helped me to understand how the whole body and its balance was the way she would treat my condition. After three treatments I felt 100% better, with all my inflammation gone, more energy than I had felt for a long time and my hair is now thick and restored with very little of the original falling hair. I now play tennis regularly which I was unable to do before and my general health is vastly improved. I visit Joy when I feel I need balance and harmony restored due to the stress of everyday living and pressure of this very uncertain financial climate. Joy is always positive and uplifting and a walking example of a life in balance and joyful. Margaret Tully Prostate Problems Joy is an incredible healer. For over 30 years I have been dogged by erectile problems linked to my prostate problem, painful stabling in my rectum and more recently haemorrhoids brought on by drugs prescribed by my doctor. Over the years, I've consulted numerous types of healers, including 5 different types of acupuncturist. All of them helped alleviate the pain for a short period. But Joy after only 2 month treatment has made an incredibly positive impact on my body and emotions. Her technique is so gentle and unobtrusive. I've hardly even noticed when she has actually put in her needles I now feel for the first time in 3 decades that I'm firmly on the way to recovery. Anonymous Joy's Endorsement I started to see Joy because I had a multitude of physical health problems. And was unhappy about having to take medication on a daily basis. There were so many problems that I think Joy wasn't sure what area to begin to work on first so she just graciously accepted the challenge and jumped right in It made such an amazing difference to me and really quickly. I was so impressed by my experience that I went back for more. Joy is a dedicated and skilful artist with a magical touch. She knows exactly where to go. She hits the spot every time! She knows just what you need ..... And ..... She knows just where you need it ....magic! Over the past year I have continued to visit Joy on a regular basis The benefits are enormous. My whole body has loosened up I've become extremely fit Im more focused in my life generally I've even reduced my thyroxin intake from 150mg a year ago to 75mg today. I think that's a pretty impressive improvement in one year considering I have been on the drug for at least 12years now. The only way to find out how good Joy is ... is to go and visit her, have at least 3 or 4 sessions don't make do with just one...save your money and go for a month those 3 or 4 sessions will make such a huge difference to you physically emotionally financially in every possible way your life will change in leaps and bounds. Quantum leaps and bounds! Moving the chi which is what acupuncture is doing however is pretty powerful .It can bring up a lot of crap which has to be brought up in order for it to be released. Like having a cold on your chest.....you have to let it come out in order for it to go. It's the same with acupuncture so don't be put off If after one or two of the sessions you feel a bit like you've just been for a fight with Mike Tyson! Or better still you get ill!!! Trust me go with it, your body is showing you how to let go of the crap by bringing it out of you. It needs to be released one way or another. Your body will settle down again with a noticeable improvement. You will be filled with energy and feel great. How do I feel when Joy gives me acupuncture? I feel magical, I feel alive, and I feel warm and secure and back in touch. Back in touch with me. Fizzingly alive tingling with energy, dancing with fun, like eating chocolate sitting in the snow. Like watching kids snowball fight squealing and giggling with delight. Or raindrops dancing through a rainbow to land gently on my eyelashes. Or diving down deep to the coolness of the ocean on a hot sticky day. Like eating candyfloss and watching the clowns. Or listening to the gentle tinkling of a piano down the street. A stream whispering along to bubble to a brook. The smell of a deep red rose or freshly brewed coffee. The kiss of a loved one whispering to your skin. A sense of being fully alive and taking control again. I hope you are lucky enough to meet her and brave enough to trust her. Your faith and your courage to dare to walk a different path will reward you with the best gift ever ..... The gift of life. An amazing lady.
