Acupuncture, nutrition and psychotherapy

“Since my mum died I’d been feeling really down. I’d put on weight and didn’t feel motivated to do anything.” Jim 47

“I read about acupuncture in a magazine and went to Viveka. I was surprised that it was relaxing and not painful. I felt a shift after one appointment, and after four there was a real difference – I felt positive for the first time in years. I now go every 4 weeks; it’s like maintenance.”

“The acupuncturist talked about my diet – I had been eating and drinking things that made me feel sluggish. So I booked to have nutritional advice. I’ve made some small but effective changes, and I’ve been taking supplements as my mineral levels were low. My weight has gone down and I’ve stopped craving sweets and fatty foods. It’s so nice to be enjoying food again.”

“When I was waiting in reception one day I overheard one of the psychotherapists chatting, and decided to book a meeting. I was nervous but as it turned out I talked about things I had no idea had been affecting me. I went four times. I feel so much lighter now and my creative drive has returned. I’ve applied for a new job.”
