I was very doubtful whether I needed treatment, although I was certainly not a very happy person. I can truly say that my mental wellbeing/happiness went from a score of 2/10 to 10/10 during the first 6 months. My eyes were opened to how good life could be. Acupuncture is a complete and sophisticated system of medicine.
It is over two thousand years old and is based on accessing and changing the body's energy by placing fine needles in the network of energy channels. Traditionally, acupuncture is used to treat illness, and maintain people's health and wellbeing. Its focus is on improving the overall well being of the patient, alongside the treatment of specific symptoms.

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing traditional Japanese therapy. Literally translated, Shiatsu means 'finger pressure', but the hands, arms, knees and feet are used as well as, where appropriate, more dynamic rotations and stretches. Many people think of Shiatsu as acupuncture without needles. The treatment uses the same energy channels in the body (known as meridians) and the same pressure points, but with Shiatsu there are no needles.
Jonathan is simply very good at what he does and your wellbeing is his objective. I am grateful for his expertise, kindness and knowledge in alleviating my symptoms and in succeeding where orthodox medicine has failed. Jonathan is Joint Principal at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, he is also a lecturer in Chinese Medicine and Clinical Supervisor on the acupuncture degree course.
I came away feeling that Jonathan was treating me with a solution relating specifically to me and my general health. After five treatments over nearly three months my hands and hips are rarely painful and I have not needed to take painkillers for the last two months. It is difficult to say. Everyone is different and each treatment is specific to that individual, so the time it takes for recovery varies from person to person.
I would recommend Jonathan's skills to anyone. On top of my therapy he's offered dietary tips and lent me relaxation CDs to further encourage and aid my recovery, reflecting the idea that he is genuinely interested in your wellbeing. His bedside manner is also incredibly friendly and accommodating: he's always willing to hear what you are trying to say.
The children's first reaction to treatment was amazing, they were calm, relaxed and happy. Along with better skin they have been less irritable and sleep has been better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jonathan to treat anybody, but he especially had a great patient, but fun manner, perfect for treating children.
