The Giving Tree – Acupuncture in Brighton

I started seeing Nicky after I was recommended by a friend. First I came for my back problems (lower and middle back pain) which I had had for over a year. It was hurting when I would bend, sit or pick things up. This pain was completely relieved in 3 treatments. I felt great after those 3 sessions so I asked her if she could help me lose weight with acupuncture and she said she could. I carried on with acupuncture for weight loss. My weight was 202 ibs and I am 175 lbs now. It took a little over 3 months to lose the weight. She reduced my sugar cravings immediately with the first treatment and they stayed away throughout treatment and even beyond. It has been over 2 years and the weight has still not returned. With the back pain, I still get it every so often because I do a lot of lifting for my job. When I get it I go and see Nicky and she gets rid of it in one treatment. Nicky is very kind, friendly and good listener. She cares about her patients. I can highly recommended her. Thank you so much for your help Nicky.

Nicky is fantastic. She has treated me for several reasons... 1. Broken heart - using the Internal Dragon technique, which I found moving and emotional, leaving me with a warm and cathartic feeling inside. Highly recommend if you're still feeling a little blue about an ex-partner. 2. Tics - this has been temporally helpful, but far from cured. I have found a lot of benefits from this treatment though, and feel less tension after several sessions. Perhaps a third visit may get rid of them. I certainly have made some improvements and feel good about using a holistic method to treat this, as there are not many alternative treatments for tics out there. Overall, Nicky is very professional and takes the time to get to know you and what treatment is best for you. She gave me a really helpful list of foods which are good for the 'spleen', which I have implemented into my diet, and feel I have made positive changes through this. I have always felt comfortable and inspired during my visits and would recommend her to anyone who like to try an alternative therapy.

I can honestly say that Nicky changed my life for the better! I have suffered allergic eczema for years and have endured constantly dry and itching skin and anxiety. Prescribed steroid creams and courses of steroid tablets had been taken to no avail. It was affecting every aspect of my life and I really thought there was nothing left that would help me. Nicky was recommended to me and I gave acupuncture a try as a last resort. How I wish i had done it sooner! I would never have believed it before but Nicky has, with acupuncture and advice on diet, given me back healthy skin with no eczema, no dryness and very little itching. Not only that, but I look and feel better than i have done for many years. The compliments have been flowing! I advise anyone with eczema or allergies to give it a try. I know a lot of people who accept their skin condition as something they have to live with. Well, I am proof that there is an alternative. Plus, Acupuncture is surprisingly relaxing and energising in general and Nicky is a very gifted practitioner.

I'm a Cleft Lip & Palate patient and after years of trying different ways to get rid of my deep tissue scars left from surgeries I decided to try cosmetic acupuncture with Nicky. After just a few treatments I noticed a big improvement, I was so impressed I carried on. I couldn't believe the difference, my scars now have faded so much I don't notice them! Nicky has also treated my active acne and has significantly improved the appearance of my acne ice pick scars. Highly recommend, she works miracles!! x

A friend suggested that I visit Nicky and in all honesty at this point I felt like I had nothing to lose. After six sessions I had my life back. I had been prescribed antibiotics for six years at this point; it was the only way I could remain pain free. Not any longer. I haven't taken antibiotics in three months and I am pain/problem free. Everyone should try this alternative to western medicine, it sure has changed my life! Thanks Nicky
