I initially went to see Claire after I suffered a very painful spasm in my back shoulder muscle and was recommended to try acupuncture . It improved dramatically after only a couple of sessions. She’s not only a great acupuncturist but also provides remedies and advice on all types of ailments. I would highly recommend her and she’s a great listener too! J Haydon

In 2 years, Claire has really helped me with my lower back problems, when nearly a decade of conventional medicine, including 3 back operations hadn't. I can't recommend her enough! J Roberts

When I was in so much back pain Claire came to my rescue and sorted it quickly and professionally using just one needle! It was amazing! Claire put me at ease immediately she has a wonderful aura. I would highly recommend her. H Macaulay

Claire helped me so much going through the menopause. The support and treatment I received helped me function day by day. I didn’t want to take hrt so acupuncture has been the best therapy I could have taken. I strongly recommend acupuncture for the menopause, mental health or a physical injury. Thank you Claire.

I have been attending sessions for over a year and have been really pleased with the results.  Claire is friendly, extremely knowledgeable about acupuncture, as well as engaging in enjoyable conversations if you need.  She understands the issues quickly and provides solutions that work.  Recommended!   C Davidson

Claire is simply amazing! I was quiet apprehensive to have acupuncture as I hate needles but Claire was very reassuring from the start. I had a thorough consultation and it’s involves far more than just the needles. My back has been bad for years and after just 2 sessions with Claire I can already feel a huge improvement, not only in my back but my mental health too! I can’t recommend Claire enough, she goes above and beyond to give her clients the best experience and care. Thank you so much!  A Wills

I suffered with a foot injury in the lead up to the London Marathon which was treated by Claire at Salutary Life. I attended for follow up sessions and saw great improvement after each visit. I was at the start line come race day and was able to complete the race. Thank you!  Corin Ridout
