Patient Testimonials
"When my osteopath suggested acupuncture, to be honest I was a bit skeptical. I had had a painful shoulder for about six weeks though, and was willing to try anything. I had my first session, and that night slept well for the first time in weeks. I woke up and I was pain free. I could not believe it. I am sold."
S. Watson – Khandallah, Wellington
"After just one treatment from Belinda I felt much improved both mentally and physically. Various aches and pains I had either disappeared completely or were not as troublesome. After the second treatment my energy levels started really picking up and I could feel the change in my mind and body. I like Belinda's holistic and very caring approach and the general health advice she gave me. She also goes "that extra mile" to make sure you are the best you can be. I would recommend her to anyone seeking treatment."
