Testimonials:

“I developed severe inflammation of my shoulder joint in my right arm. This caused very painful arm movements and I was unable to lift my arm without excruciating, throbbing pain. …. MR.Marshall performs Japanese Acupuncture, uses very fine needles, which one does not feel at all. I immediately felt relief, within few days the severe pain has gone. …. I have recommended him to my family and friends. I will not use another acupuncturist.”

Mrs L. (Fibromyalgia and Tendonitis of the Shoulder)

Dr D (GP) Chronic Migraine
“I have been treated with acupuncture in the past and always dreaded the sessions although it did help me with my migraine.
I have suffered for more than 30 years and since receiving Anand’s care I have started feeling much better.
Not only was I able to have longer pain free intervals but the attacks were less intense. As for the pain and the fear of needles, this is history! Using Japanese Acupuncture and his particular technique the needling is really not a problem anymore. But where Anand has surpassed my expectations, is his attitude and care he provided me with, session after session; he was there when I needed him and he perfectly played the role of a health advisor…”

Mrs “C” Infertility
“At the time of my first consultation with you, undue stress and a recent history of prolonged illness had resulted in a debilitated immune system. Coupled with an irregular menstrual cycle, I was keen to try alternative medicines practices to improve my ill health and health and hopefully overcome my ‘unexplained infertility’…
… following your regime of acupuncture and prescribed herbs, my health experienced a complete turnaround.. translated into a sustained period of exceptionally good health for me, culminating in a long awaited pregnancy and the birth of my first child.”

Testimonilas:


"A while ago what looked like a simple lower back issue very quickly turned into a real nightmare - I could barely walk! It was Peter’s dedication, patience but above all quality of treatment that played such an important role to my overall recovery. I will not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends and families."

Raj H - Accountant


“Peter's relaxed yet friendly manner set me at ease straight away and allowed me to fully appreciate the treatments. I have experienced hot stone massage, Swedish massage and sports massage, all of which have been excellent. Most importantly I left each treatment feeling relaxed and relieved of a great deal of tension and pain. The treatments have rid me permanently of some of the discomfort and pain in my shoulder, neck and back. No doubt this will only improve in the future.

Peter always gaged the correct amount of pressure, neither too hard or too soft and his attention to detail meant the environment was always comfortable and clean. The quality of treatment was excellent and this was matched by the prices. I recommend Wood Green Complementary Health Centre and Peter unreservedly.”

Felicity has also completed training in the Metamorphic Technique which has its origins in Foot Reflexology.

Testimonilas:


"I came to Felicity with a range of symptoms which had been diagnosed as post-viral-fatigue, on top of an underlying endocrine disorder. She offered a series of sessions of facial reflexology, along with sensible lifestyle advice and some instructions for self-administered reflexology at home, which together assisted a much more rapid recovery than the NHS medics had predicted. I noticed an immediate effect even after the first session, but by the fifth session, recovery was significant. Felicity combines excellent technique and knowledge with a thoughtful and sensitive approach to her client which added to the restorative effect of the sessions." J. Sloboda

"I am utterly amazed at the impact reflexology has had on me. It's far more relaxing than a massage and has helped ease shoulder pain I've had for years. I would highly recommend it to anyone." S. Waldron

“I came to Felicity after suffering post natal depression. I have to admit to being a little sceptical, even during the treatment itself which was rather ticklish. However, the results were amazing and I couldn't stop laughing once the treatment was over! I came to Felicity feeling tired and melancholy but left with a broad smile and a feeling of lightness and brightness that stayed with me for a long time afterwards. I am now going back to work and have booked further treatment to help me cope with the change.” K Gayton (Metamorphic Technique)


“I underwent a series of treatments with Felicity Reflexology at a time when I was stressed at work and experiencing problems with irritable bowel syndrome. I found Felicity to be very knowledgeable and professional. The treatments were extremely relaxing and over several weeks I noticed that my stomach problems improved. I’m grateful for the help that Felicity gave me in coping with a stressful time at work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering Reflexology.”

D.K.


“I found that reflexology helped to reduce my stress levels, reduced occurrence of headaches, improved immune system and improved sleeping patterns, through a holistic approach- including treatments but also diet and exercise. I found treatments relaxing, but amazingly could also feel different parts of my body relax and respond.”

L.R.


“I found that 'Felicity Reflexology' helped me deal with my stress. I always felt more relaxed following sessions and after my course of treatment I found I had new techniques to help me deal with my stress. I found it to be a holistic approach to dealing with my problem.”
