“My history was a case of chronic epicondolytis (tennis elbow), for which I suffered for over one year.  After trying many conventional therapies with little success, I then discovered acupuncture. Lori-Ellen does a thorough case history and for me, knowing I was truly being listened to, gave a sense of her being a kind and caring person therefore allowing me to be open and honest in a safe environment.  Lori-Ellen explains well her treatments and is gentle in applying needles.  Lori-Ellen exudes confidence and intuitiveness in her approach in treating the ‘whole body’.

In these past twelve months, each day with pain had created despair, isolation and at times, depression, but now, apart from  small reminders at times (depending on my use of elbow) the memory  of this injury has faded, from being so consumed with it to many days passing pain free.

The combination of trust, communication, acupuncture and massage, working together, has been a learning experience for the both of us and has made for a very special healing journey. My true self has re-emerged ……….”

Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere karohirohi i mua i tou huarahi. 
May calm be spread around you, may the sea glisten like greenstone and the shimmer of summer dance across your face.

“I went to see Lori-Ellen on a recommendation after I had spent over 6 months with pain and restricted movement. Now I feel so great I can’t believe I took so long to make that first appointment. I have never looked back. Not only does she work miracles with her needles and hands but she is such a wonderful person and so gifted. Always intuitive and empathetic Lori-Ellen is one of the great people that has been given a healers spirit. I have no issues now with my original injury but still go once a month for maintenance of the spirit and body. I always leave feeling refreshed and balanced. Rested and at peace. I cant recommend Lori-Ellen enough and happily tell as many people as possible about her great skills.”

“After several years and several IVF attempts I started going to Lori-Ellen 3 months before starting my last IVF. I found it extremely relaxing and helped get my mind and body in the right space. I am extremely excited to say that this IVF cycle was successful and I am 31 weeks pregnant. I have continued with the acupuncture right through the pregnancy which has helped relax me when I get nervous after past bad experiences. It has also helped me with morning sickness. Lori-Ellen has been my saviour and always takes time to listen and discuss my concerns before treatment and I leave feeling relaxed.”‎ (This patient has since had a healthy baby girl)
