What People Are Saying

“I attended the clinic after years of living with chronic refractory migraines, Clare helped me by using acupuncture to treat them. Since the treatment the frequency of migraine has reduced significantly and would highly recommend Clare as a practitioner, she is very professional and approachable, making the treatment as relaxing as possible.”

“A week ago I hurt my back and was in considerable pain. I really struggled to get onto the treatment table but 25 minutes later it was like a miracle, I sat upright on my own and stepped off the table, stood up and walked away 10 - 12 paces completely free of pain!  How could this happen? All I know is that I crawled onto that table and stepped off completely pain-free! A true miracle.”

“I first met Clare in October 2023 with sciatic pain. I felt so much better after only 4 sessions and no longer felt any pain. Clare is a very friendly person and I am always greeted warmly at the Cottage Clinic. I look forward to my monthly acupuncture appointments, I certainly can feel the benefits. Thank you Clare.”

“Always a lovely treatment at The Cottage. Clare always made me feel at ease and seems to really care about helping you feel better. She’s helped with me with physical pain and stress and anxiety. I’ve been several times now and would definitely recommend Clare” Jessica Oliver

I had been suffering with persistent lower degenerative back pain for nearly a year. Clare recommended a 6 week plan and by the 4th week, I felt incredible. Clare is highly professional, welcoming and dedicated to her work. I am thankful that I gave acupuncture a try and cannot thank Clare enough for her continued services.

I have suffered tremendously with back pain, from a fall, for 11 years, tried absolutely everything, unable to operate on my spine too. But since being recommended acupuncture here, I have got to say it has helped my pain definitely, and by quite an amount most days. I’m so grateful and thankful, although it will never be fixed, this treatment will help me lead a higher quality of life, as it also treats the whole body to heal and function properly. I’m amazed to be honest. Richard Scott

I went to the clinic with ankle issues from an old work injury I’d had these issues for over 5 years. In a few sessions, the problems have all but cleared up highly recommended.

Tom Williams

From the minute I pulled up I felt so relaxed, the location is beautiful and very calming away from the hustle and bustle! Clare instantly puts you at ease. The Clinic itself is lovely and comfortable. I was almost asleep throughout my first treatment completely at peace. I have been a further 2 times and my original complaint of migraine has disappeared. Highly recommend The Cottage Clinic.

Rachel Hicks

Helped me with back problems very good service highly recommended.

Neil Smith

Clare helped me with very painful muscles after 4 days of walking the Pennie Way. I stumbled painfully around but after an acupuncture treatment with Clare, I felt the pain fading away and it gave rest to my overused body. She has really wonderful skills.

Ine Hofman

One treatment for a repetitive strain injury/trapped nerve made an enormous difference! Just wish I lived closer by for follow-up treatments! Clare is very friendly and professional and she really knows her stuff. I highly recommend Clare.
