Kathy
I have had eight treatments with Caitlin and the benefit to my wellbeing has been outstanding. On my first visit when assessing my general health, Caitlin looked at my tongue and said there was a lot of heat there, explaining that this accounts for the palpitations and hot flushes that I had. Caitlin asked if there were any particular problems that I had. As a part time employee and student with a large family, I informed her that I struggled with my energy levels.
When Caitlin was inserting the needles she informed me of what they were being used for which I found interesting and reassuring and this helped me to relax. She then let me know that she was going to ‘twiddle’ them which helped them to work better. Then, after checking that I was ok, she said that she would leave the room for ten minutes and then check back with me that everything was fine. This she did twice, giving me plenty of time to relax to the music that she provided before removing the needles. Before leaving, Caitlin would check that I was feeling fine and advise me to rest a while as the treatment would continue to work for a while.
Caitlin has a lovely, friendly manner combined with a way that instantly put me at ease although I had never had acupuncture before. The course of acupuncture has greatly increased my energy and concentration levels and my hot sweats (due to the menopause) have reduced while the night sweats have ceased.
