TESTIMONIALS
"I’m so glad that I found Emma! I got Bell’s Palsy, and right after our first treatment I could feel my face and managed to make a little movement in the corner of my lips. Acupuncture helped so much with my condition and Emma is very nice! I highly recommend!! :)" (Google Review)
"I went to see Emma because I was in a lot of pain with Tension headaches caused by stress. I was very anxious about getting acupuncture but Emma explained everything and she was very patient. After having three sessions my headaches became less severe and less often and after some more sessions my headaches stopped. Emma was very professional and easy to talk to."
“I had several affordable acupuncture treatments with Mary which was such a relaxing experience and I can't recommend it enough. Mary is a very gentle experienced therapist who was so understanding and really put me at ease I look forward to my next sessions with her again.”
"I highly recommend Emma, a really lovely person who is brilliant at her work. I have had shoulder pain, lower back pain and headaches for 15 years and have tried everything over those years. Thought I was going to have to live with the shoulder pain forever and give in to daily pain killers. I decided to visit Emma after a recommendation from a neighbour and Emma did in one session what I hadn't achieved in all these years of therapies. I attended a handful of times to make sure I was blasting it. I have told Emma she is so good she is doing herself out of a client but in true Emma style, she is very happy that I am needing her less. I am so happy to be free of the pain that was impacting on my life and I thank Emma for her expertise." (Google Review)

Mary was amazing very helpful listened to all what I had going on .very understanding. She was so gentle I didn't even fell needless going in.i was so relaxed.

But after 1st ever session I felt that area thobbing but late that night my pain eased of & havnt had it from then .also the day I went I had bit of sciatic pain which disappeared. Second day I started to go to toilet .bowels have moved daily which is like winning lotto for me .I cant thank her enough I have been sleeping till around 5am which is bonus I am hitting pillow and going sleep which I never do normally. I am less stressed in my job as a career on 12 hour shifts. Overall amazing highly recommend to go .I so look forward to go back on Monday. Cant thank you enough. In 4 days with 1 session and my own healthy eating I have lost 3lb .here to next few sessions. Thank you Mary x”
"My daughter contacted Emma of Belfast Community Acupuncture for me. She and all the family were at their wits' end watching me in pain over the past few months...Every minute was a struggle. I remember saying to Emma that, if you were to dream up a punishment for the worst criminal on earth, this would do! It felt like a constant beating with a claw hammer on the outside while the innards were being stabbed with a screwdriver! I had used the word "horrific" more in the last six months than I had done in the last 55 years. Emma listened. I immediately felt that I was not just another appointment...My first "needling" was painless in itself but I was very sore when I put my face on the couch! I had a weekly treatment with Emma for the next few weeks. After Week 2, I could sit and lie with much less pain. [Now] I feel almost normal. I think that I will go to Emma in the future for " maintenance treatments" , not least because, even if the acupuncture hadn't worked, her professionalism, her calm manner and her caring, beautiful nature are a tonic in themselves!" (5 x treatments for undiagnosed severe persistent pain).
"I highly recommended Belfast Community Acupuncture to anyone suffering from depression/anxiety. Mary is one of the most caring people I have ever met. Belfast Community Acupuncture definitely helped my recovery from a bout of depression and offers superb value for money."
"Emma very kindly fitted me in for an emergency appointment at 38 weeks pregnant when my baby was breech. I had a failed ECV the previous week and had completely given up hope. The day after my appointment with Emma, I had another ECV and my baby just slid round into the head down position, I barely felt anything! Thank you so much Emma! (Google Review)
"I had my acupuncture done by Emma and I can't recommend her highly enough. After 3 or 4 sessions my neck pain and headaches were completely gone!" (Treatments for symptoms of nerve pain with negative MRI for cervical involvement. We used electro-acupuncture and sliding cupping).
"Can't thank Emma enough! Had tight calves had immediate relief in one session. Great set up and very friendly and professional." (Electro-acupuncture)
"Emma took her time with me and didn't rush, she was very informative and compassionate and explained everything.
I liked the community atmosphere, and the acupuncture and cupping really helped my injury, an overall friendly and professional service!" (Acupuncture and cupping)
"Dear Emma, My mother has been coming to see you over the last couple of weeks for help with sciatica pain. She speaks so highly of you and the effectiveness of the treatments. Thank you for helping her get some relief at last! Your service is invaluable, especially as it is so affordable. Thanks again." (received by email)
"I have been suffering with achilles tendonitis in both legs for over 8 month, the pain I had was horrendous, on a daily basis. Stabbing, shooting pain and the back of my ankles were so tender that I couldn't bare touching them. 4 weeks ago I started a 1 hour session per week with Emma from Belfast Community Acupuncture. After the first session I couldn't believe the difference, I was nearly pain free and I could continue with my normal active lifestyle, pain free. I am continuing to attend for 1 hour per week to ensure total healing and I feel acupuncture has given me a new lease of life." (Electro-acupuncture) - From facebook review
"I can verify that statement about how painless acupuncture is... I recently attended the clinic having suffered from frozen shoulder and painkillers were not making any difference. I had heard about Emma's work through a friend so I thought I would give it a go. I have a real phobia of needles and was quite anxious. I can honestly say I never felt one of the needles going into my shoulder. Not only was it painless, the results were amazing. I am now totally pain free." [after 4 sessions]
"Over a period of time my anxiety levels reached a point where I no longer felt in control, which led me to seek out help through medication and counseling. Both have helped me more towards tackling my anxiety, however acupuncture has been an invaluable tool in this journey. Weekly acupuncture sessions with Emma provide me with a source of relaxation and help ground me during my hectic daily routine. From the first session I noticed an improved sense of physical and mental ease, which I lost at the height of my anxiety. Anxiety sufferers have to learn to deal with and challenge their anxiety; acupuncture along with other techniques such as mindfulness and yoga are excellent tools to regain a sense of control." [regular client who began weekly and continued for a period of time once/twice month]
"I am a keen runner but for most of 2014 had achilles tendonitis on my right leg. I tried physio and also complete rest for three months but the injury wouldn't heal. I was very much on the fence about acupuncture but i thought i would give it a try. After a few sessions with Emma the ankle was physically healing and the pain was reduced. I managed to injure my left leg as well when i didn't warmup correctly so Emma worked on that as well with more acupuncture and finished off with a sports massage. There is never a guarantee with any treatment but all i can say is it worked for me and im now back running pain free again. If i was asked to sum up Belfast community acupuncture in three words it would be super, smashing, great!" [after 6 treatments] (see facebook reviews)
