Karen, 40, Durham "I would like to thank you for the treatment, you gave me at your clinic, on my back, which i have had trouble with for over 20 yrs.

I would have no problem recommending you to anyone wishing to have an alternative treatment and wish you every success. Thank you." Mike, 72, Seaham " The treatment and service was impeccable, Laura was apropriately qualified courteous and offered as much exsplanation as was asked of her. I would reccomend Oriental Health." Olwyn, 57,Durham Fertility "Dear Laura, I really appreciated your enthusiasm, professionalism and eagerness to help me to get rid of my fear (or imbalance) of not being able to get pregnant. Through your acupuncture sessions i found my inner rest, which i believe led to my pregnancy. I have experienced our sessions as pleasant and interesting, this was my first encounter with acupuncture, and it has certainly changed my views on using alternative medicine/acupuncture. Thank you very much." Sharon, 37 "After 1 1/2 yrs trying for a baby with Laura's help i was pregnant after 3 months of treatment. Her thoughtful and gentle approach helped give me a very personal series of treatments and changed me from a confirmed skeptic about complementary health to a regular user. Thank you."
