I found Julie through Yell.com and was relieved to see that she was a member of the British Acupuncture Council. I had been suffering with dental pain for over 3 months and although I was having treatment for this the pain seemed to be carrying on and even stopping me sleeping. The first treatment I found some relief but I had been warned by Julie that it might take a little time to really take effect. After my next treatment it was quite a lot better so I decided to continue until it had gone completely. Julie was very friendly and made me feel very relaxed and allayed my apprehension about having needles put into me!

I decided to try acupuncture to see whether it would help me following my pregnancy related nausea and sickness. I was really suffering badly and my midwife warned me that I might have to be admitted to hospital as I wasn't even able to hold water down. I couldn't afford this as I already have a little boy to look after! Julie had been recommended to me by a friend so I rang for an emergency appointment! She saw me the next day and the relief I felt after treatment was wonderful. I ate normally that day and the next then the nausea started to creep back so I went back for another treatment. This time I was ok for 4 days and after the third treatment I havent had more than a few moments of nausea when I first wake up. I cant tell you how pleased I am that I tried acupuncture and I can definitely recommend being looked after by Julie.

Julie Dakin's acupuncture treatments have been very beneficial for me. It is a very
pleasant and relaxing hour. I appreciate Julie's caring attitude and attention to my comfort.
My decision to try this form of therapy has been the right one
for me and has made a great deal of difference to my life.

I had a course of treatment and was amazed at how quickly it cured my pain. I have had no symptoms at all since.

I have arthritis for which I take anti-inflammatory tablets. I don't like taking tablets but they were keeping the pain at a bearable level until I had a really sharp pain in my knees - I could have screamed with the pain. I decided to try acupuncture and found Julie on the British Acupuncture site. I had a consultation with her then she gave me my first treatment. I had some relief within hours and after another three treatments I only had a dull ache if I laid in bed for too long! Getting up and walking around gets rid of that - top ups keep this under control. Acupuncture has done me the world of good and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't like taking tablets.

Before I met Julie Dakin I was a complete sceptic when it came to alternative medicine. Julie’s marketing material appeared to offer the solution for my situation so I resolved to give it a go. Following a very relaxing and comprehensive consultation, during which Julie allayed all of my doubts, I undertook a course of six treatments with her re-assurance that the acupuncture would give me results. It was the watershed I had been waiting for, for 5 years. The treatment completely transformed my well being. Now I’m no longer a sceptic and enjoy a monthly top-up session to keep me feeling fantastic. Thanks Julie.

I have suffered from migraines since a teenager but over a period of time these migraines had changed into a cycle which would last for weeks on end. I spoke to my GP who gave me some medication but because we were trying for a baby I was unable to take much to help. I then read an article about the positive effect acupuncture could have on reducing migraines. I knew Julie was an acupuncturist so spoke to her regarding this article. After our brief conversation I booked a course of treatment. Julie was very professional and took a full medical history and we discussed in length the type of headaches I was getting and side effects these produced. Due to the fact that we were trying for a baby Julie explained that certain points would not be used. This gave me a lot of confidence in her as a practitioner as this was one of my concerns. She also warned me that this treatment might cause a flair up of side effects at the beginning.
I completed the course and since that time the cycle of headaches has been broken and I have only had 2 headaches in a year when before I was having 4 migraines a month.
I had no side effects from the treatment and found it a relaxing and professional service from Julie.

I read that acupuncture can help with some of the symptoms I was suffering from so I contacted Julie who was recommended to me by my osteopath. After my first few sessions I experienced huge pain relief from my main complaint and over a short period of time I have been relieved of other problems I was also suffering with. After my treatment I always drive away feeling 'normal'.
Other benefits of acupuncture and my sessions with Julie are that my moods have improved and are now less erratic and my coping skills have returned much quicker than I had expected. I believe this is influenced by acupuncture and the fact that I can talk to Julie about any aches or pains whether related to my present complaint or past injury/trauma.
Julie listens - she is caring, professional and we also share laughter which is a huge benefit to me. The relaxation I experience once Julie has put the needles in place is wonderful and I often smile to myself when lying in Julie’s warm, comfortable treatment room in Wickham. Julie also shares her knowledge of acupuncture and good health when asked. My sessions started as weekly and are now every two or three weeks as I am accumulating better health.
With acupuncture, a healthy diet, medication, yoga and Physiotherapy I am managing the symptoms I have and I would encourage anyone suffering to visit Julie for a consultation and treatment.
