I had no energy at all and had been unable to keep working. Afriend recommended me to Lorna. I liked the idea of my body working to heal itself and the fact that acupuncture did not require me to take any medication at all. I went with an open mind and did not know what to expect. My energy levels and mental health began to improve after 4 weeks and has gradualy improved so much that I am probably in the best health in years. Any other problems that I have had since going have also been improved or solved with Lorna's help. I would recommend it to anyone whether you believe in it or not.

Janie reduced my joint pain by 90% in just one session! I have an arthritic hip and knee and…read moreendured this past year in constant pain walking with a limp. I saw various professionals in 2017 (incl. doctor, physiotherapist, chiropractor) with no lasting improvement. Janie really makes a difference! She is kind, experienced and intuitive in her work. As an osteopath, she had to advise me to consider a hip and knee replacement, yet equally respects my wish to avoid surgery. Working with me on this, she made a monthly treatment plan supported with daily specific exercises. In addition, she is a trained Cranio-sacral practitioner (gentle hands-on treatment, a form of deep tissue healing) which has a powerful effect on me. Janie moved to beautiful Eastbourne just 2 years ago and has (I believe ) a promising career here. A gifted Osteopath, I can only recommend her highly. With best wishes, Lisa. (January 2018)

Herbs & Acupuncture did a great job of helping my husband recover from a motorbike accident a few…read moreyears ago. After the accident my husband spent 6 months off from work with terrible back and leg pain, numerous visits to Physiotherapy and Doctors had little relief so we looked at having Acupuncture. His first visits were to the Strood branch which closed one week without any notice or cancellation of appointments and he was reluctant to carry on as it didn't appear to make any difference (apart from the brief relief during treatment) but we looked up another anyway and so glad we did. They suggested Massage alongside the Acupuncture and went through everything with us beforehand. They recommended some additional products to use at home as well us advising how and where extra massage / stimulation should be done too. Within a couple of months there was a huge difference. Where's before my husband couldn't even sit for any period of time without immense pain he was now able to do light activities. It wasn't cheap though and appointments were every week to start but we eventually got it down to every 3, treatment here went on for around a year and since emigrating 9 months ago he has not had any further treatment and the problem hasn't returned! At times we did feel they were a little pushy with having us buy extra products but they did actually help so I guess they were just doing what was best for my husband. If anybody is contemplating going here I would say ''go for it''. They did a great job and I finally got my fully functioning husband back!

My skin has been super dry and dull lately, plus I got a terrible night of sleep on the plane, so I was beyond glad Chi Yu was able to take me as a walk in. Noriko was so sweet and friendly, as was the lady who checked me in at the front (I didn't get her name). The facility is clean and cozy, offering tea or water when you arrive. The facial with products includes eminence products which all smelled and felt incredible. They also specialize in Japanese Cosmo Lifting Massages and Noriko integrated some of that into my facial, which was great and something new for me. The facial was so relaxing I'm pretty sure I fell asleep. I'll definitely make this my spot whenever I'm in London!

I was dreaming of some relief and started to do a quick search on Yelp for somewhere quite near my office. Nothing too laborious as my day was packed...so just a quick tune-up via chair massage was in order. Chi Yu to the rescue! Lovely staff and very welcoming. From making the appointment, to arrival, and situation all the way to checkout and bidding them adieu, everyone was so very nice. Somewhat sad that this is not a given, but in London it certainly isn't! This makes Chi Yu stand out. I made an appointment for same day with Rie, who was great. I was escorted downstairs to the treatment area, and given 30 minutes of chair massage. Brilliant, just what I wanted. She was very communicative and definitely helped ease the tension. I probably need one every day for a month to really work it out, but this really helped. I took a menu and will definitely be back. Really like the vibe of this place, the atmosphere (also SUPER clean), and the service offerings. Facials, beauty + Wellness massage, reflexology, Thai massage, etc. £15 (plus a bit extra for Rie) --- well worth it.

I can't even begin to explain how awful it was... and after about 24 hours of torture, I desperately searched for an acupuncturist. Since the only review for this place was written by someone who obviously knew nothing about acupuncture (WTF does chiropractic have to do with Chinese medicine?!) and didn't even use their services, I didn't let it deter me. Thank goodness for that! The woman running the place (I did not get her name) was very loud, and I wasn't positive she understood what I was trying to explain. It nearly caused me to leave, but I'm so, so glad I didn't. I have a lot of experience receiving acupuncture, and I know when someone knows what they're doing. And, to make a long story short, my pain was completely gone after that one session and ***has not returned***! It is a few weeks later now, and I have not had a single spasm! I cannot believe how effective this session was. She is a miracle worker! Even my very talented acupuncturist back home was impressed. If you have back pain especially, do not hesitate coming here. I would have paid triple what I did for this service. She is an amazing healer and comes with my highest recommendation.
