IBS and Anxiety

"I first learnt about Ruth through recommendation from a friend. Initially a bit nervous and perhaps a little skeptical, I soon felt as ease with Ruth. I felt that I could relate to her and talk openly about my concerns. She listened carefully and asked appropriate questions at the inital consultation in order to put together a treatment plan. I felt that she was caring, understanding and sensitive person who was interested in me. She has always been happy to answer any questions and to explain the treatment that she is doing. She is always gentle and careful when using the needles. The treatment has made such a difference to me. I now visit every six to eight weeks and this keeps things under control. I am happy to recommend her to my friends."

Fertility and Pregnancy

"My husband and I have been trying for a baby unsucessfully for several years, I had a very irregular cycle and after numerous blood tests and scans I was diagnosed with Poly-cystic ovaries. A friend recommended Ruth to me and I liked her from the start, she put me at my ease, always genuinely concerned for my well-being, is never judging and always explained what she was doing and why if I wanted to know more. Ruth also suggested slight changes to my diet and lifestyle which had a big impact. Shortly before having to resort to IVF I found out that I was preganant. I still see Ruth and look forward to my appointments, as I always go away feeling so much calmer and relaxed. I cannot recommend Ruth enough, I know she treats many different ailments and has a real passion for what she does."

Back Pain and Insomnia

" I first went for acupuncture with Ruth 2 years ago when I was suffering with a bad back. I was impressed from the offset as Ruth took time to talk through my symptoms in depth and came across as having a really calm, professional and highly personable approach.  I was a little apprehensive about having acupuncture (fear of needles!) but Ruth took time to explain how it worked and reassured me of my fears.  It was not what I expected and despite having a fear of needles I was pleasantly surprised at how relaxing the treatment was.  I was amazed at the results from even the first treatment as I had walked into the treatment room and struggled to even get on the couch because of the pain in my back; but by the time the treatment had finished the pain had eased completely.  I have continued to have acupuncture several times over the last 2 years and as a local business Director and with the stress that the role brings (especially in the downturn) acupuncture has been brilliant in helping me to cope better with the challanges that I have faced in these difficult times and also helped me when I have been suffering with insomnia."
