  • "Pascal was a fantastic acupuncturist. He takes a very thorough history. He’s a very knowledgeable professional and has really helped me number of different times with various problems. As a client and a GP I highly recommend him."

  • "Pascal is a very gentle and compassionate Acupuncturist. As an Acupuncturist myself, I am very selective about who I would get treatment from or recommended. I can highly recommend Pascal."

  • "My go-to person whenever I feel in need of a health or energy boost. Pascal has been keeping my going for over 12 years."

  • Having been an osteopath for 13 years I’ve become very picky about who I get treatment from! Have had treatment from Pascal many times for various issues including PMT, hip pain, headaches and nerve impingement pain all with great success. He’s thorough with his questioning, examination and explanation, always very respectful towards patient modesty- leaving the room while you undress and using blankets throughout.

  • I went to see Pascal after being diagnosed with PCOS and being on progesterone for two months which made me feel awful. Pascal takes a very through history and is very professional. I already felt better just after one session and now after three months all my symptoms of PCOS are completely gone and I have a regular cycle, I am so grateful that I found an alternative way of treatment that actually works and would highly recommend this place.

  • "I cannot rate Pascal’s acupuncture highly enough. Without fail I feel so much better after my acupuncture session, more so than from any other treatments I have received from other practitioners. And I always find Pascal to be genuinely compassionate and present with whatever I have going on."

  • "I have been seeing Pascal over the last 7 years He helped so much when I was going through difficult emotional times. I also see him just to stay connected body, mind and soul. He is insightful and compassionate. Would recommend him to all."

  • I first visited Pascal while feeling horrendous after gallbladder surgery. I was really struggling with anxiety. After the first session I noticed a huge difference. I was far more relaxed and my anxiety was much improved. After 3 sessions it was gone. Pascal knew that I had iron issues before my doctor did and gave me Chinese medicine to help. After hating needles I’m looking forward to another appointment soon. Pascal has been a massive help and I really appreciate his time and effort. He’s always on time, polite and friendly.

  • It’s almost 2 years now since I first went to Pascal with sciatica. I could barely stand up straight. Almost instant relief. Since then I have visited regularly when the sciatica returns, and also get treatment for arthritic knees. Pascal is professional, passionate about what he does and is very respectful. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

  • I was more than happy with the treatment I received from Pascal and am regularly recommending him to friends and family. He listens, understands and explains clearly what he is doing, why and how it will help and it did help.

Acupuncture and Herbs, the two treasures of Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is one of the longest established forms of healthcare in the world. Acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for thousands of years. The focus is on you as an individual, not your illness, and all symptoms are seen in relation to each other. Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate your body's own defences.

The herbal tradition of China is valued scientifically, as well as being a fascinating and popular tradition. Scientists working in mainland China, Taiwan and Japan during the past four decades have demonstrated that herbal materials contain active components that can explain many of their claimed actions. Modern drugs have been developed from the herbs, such as treatments for asthma and hay fever from Chinese ephedra.
