"I had intense pelvic pain in the last few weeks of my second pregnancy. I was finding hard to walk and couldn’t lift or be as mobile as I wanted to be with my daughter. I had acupuncture to help the pain as well as to prepare me for labour. I immediately felt more relaxed and finally had relief from the pain. I carried on treatment until my due date and felt it helped the birth which went much more smoothly than the first and the post-natal recovery was quicker and more comfortable."
"I had my first child via IVF and came for acupuncture to help me after my daughter’s birth. I felt low and just had no energy. I soon feel much better and then would just come in and have a session whenever I had an issue such as back pain or hay fever. When my daughter was about 14 months old to my surprise I became pregnant naturally! I’m sure acupuncture had something to do with it and I carried on having treatment to relive my morning sickness and then to make sure I had a better labour than before which I did."
"I had had morning-sickness before…but this time it was worse. I was vomiting 4-8 times a day and could hardly keep anything down. I was eating very little and was worried that I might have to take time off work. Coinciding with commencing acupuncture my nausea and vomiting were reduced significantly and seemed better than at the same stage in my other pregnancies when I had no acupuncture. I had tried many other remedies in my last two pregnancies with little success…acupuncture is the first thing that really helped me."
“ I never knew having a baby was going to be as complicated as it is. No one really talks about the difficult parts so you are left feeling a bit mad a lot of the time. Having someone to talk to about those things without being worried about what they are going to think of you has been brilliant. I must admit I was sceptical in the beginning and thought only really crazy people went to talk about their problems but now I know that everyone, no matter what the problem, can benefit from a little one on one time with a therapist! Counselling is something I do for myself and I realise that I can be better for my husband and my baby because of it.”

"Having tried to get pregnant for two years it wasn't until I went to Natural Natal Centre that I realised how important it was to get your body and mind in the right condition for pregnancy. I was full of toxins from the pill, stress and alcohol and I wasn't eating properly, no wonder I couldn't get pregnant. Thanks to Malgosia, Kate and the team my habits have changed completely, their holistic approach has worked wonders. My feminine health has improved as my cycles became more regular and heavier greatly helped by homeopathic remedies, I am much calmer as a result of acupuncture and reflexology and I am eating well for the first time in a long time. Having successfully conceived on my first round of IVF, I am now 17 weeks pregnant with twin boys and enjoying a healthy pregnancy.
“ Counselling was the best thing I could have done for myself while going through the IVF process. IVF was the most intense experience I ever had and I felt very alone throughout it. Holli was an incredible support and without her I don’t know how I would have gotten through it all. I would highly recommend anyone going through IVF to be sure to have counselling alongside. There are so many ups and downs and no one should have to go through it alone.”
