Dear Sophie and the team at Wimbledon herbal world,

This is a very late thank you for your help when we were trying for our baby, and also leading up until his birth.

Sophie helped regulate my hormones after coming off the pill and being diagnosed with pcos, and we conceived within 4 months of starting acupuncture and acupressure treatment.

Before Jack arrived, I felt an urgency for his birth to be soon. Sophie gave me treatments for my energy and to induce labour from the due date. Within a day, I went into labour. I was so glad for this as it appeared that the placenta was calcified and gritty before term, so I don't like to think about if Jack had been late.

We are so grateful for all your help! I enjoyed coming each week and it felt like a positive step. Despite having moved away from the area, I hope to come back to introduce Jack to you soon.

Thanks again!

Clare

Dear Sophie Lu,

First of all I would like to thank you again for treating me and helping me in September 2013 to get pregnant with beautiful and healthy twin girls, Zara and Charlotte. They are now 28 months old and we have decided to try our luck for one last baby. The doctors said I can still have one baby but not twins. Could you help ? I live in Slovakia now and it's impossible to travel to London.

We are extremely grateful to you for our girls.

With kind regards

Petra Haragova

I have been getting acupuncture for various conditions for over 30 years now in many different countries. When I shifted back to Wimbledon and met Dr Sophie again I was so happy. She is the best Chinese doctor I have met.

This time I have been having treatment for menopause and after 6 weeks I feel much better. My symptoms have decreased and my strength is returning,

Hi sophie its emma mackay

Great news!! My waters broke this morning and it am in early labour! So I'm afraid I won't be able to make my appt tomorrow at 10.30am!

Please see below the little piece I wrote I hope it is what you were after!! Speak to you soon with an update!!

"I had read that accupunture could help with fertility treatment so I contacted herbal world in wimbledon before starting my IVF cycle. Sophie Lu put me at ease straight away after a thorough consultation and explanation on how the accupunture would work and what areas she would concentrate on etc. I found the accupunture and massage to be so relaxing and a great way to concentrate on myself for an hour. It was comforting to thinking I was doing everything possible to help the IVF cycle work. My clinic commented on how high the quality of my eggs were which I believe could have been helped by the accupuncture and massage. I continued with the accupuncture and massage following embryo transfer; in fact I had a session a couple of hours following it. The two week wait can be a very stressful time but I honestly believe the combination of accupuncture and massage helped keep me relaxed throughout this time! I went on to have a completely perfect pregnancy and am currently 40 weeks pregnant and am having accupuncture and massage to help the onset of labour. It feels great to have come in a full circle using accupuncture to become pregnant and accupuncture to bring our miracle baby into the world! Thank you very much for all your help and expertise! See you for our next child!"

I had irregular hormones causing issues due to cysts. Regular acupuncture sessions have helped regulate these and am now pregnant! The acupuncture and massage are both very relaxing and destressing and along with the medication support overall health. Thanks to the team here for helping me and always with a smile.

Kind regards,

I have been having acupuncture since June 2006 as a complement to the conventional treatment I have been receiving for inflammation of my knees and neck, and I can safely say that the combination did a great deal to relieve the discomfort. Furthermore, it made a dramatic improvement on my gout condition. Also, the herbal medicine helped me with restoring my hair. Finally, I had excellent massage services from Yang, Sue and Sophie.
