He is truly fantastic at what he does &#8211; careful, considered, professional and very talented. Before each session he takes care to ask me how I have been feeling that week, so that he can tailor each treatment to my exact requirements. This means that I haven&#8217;t ever had the same treatment twice &#8211; whether I have been struggling to sleep or had pain in my knee, each appointment is completely bespoke and incredibly effective.<br \/>\nI find the practise incredibly interesting, and Steve takes the time to explain exactly what he is doing and how it fits into the wider treatment, which is fascinating.<br \/>\nI would recommend him to anyone, and will be continuing my treatment for a long while yet.&#8221; &#8211; ED<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been very impressed with my treatment, which is showing positive and beneficial results. Steve is very professional and empathetic and I would not hesitate to recommend him or his services.&#8221; &#8211; M<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Went in to labour naturally on the Wednesday evening&#8230; so I think you can probably use me as an example of acupuncture assisting with the induction of labour.
