"Zoe was recommended to me as a fertility expert by a friend. I had been trying to get pregnant for 2 years and was (reluctantly) considering IVF. After the first month of treatment Zoe asked me to get my thyroid function tested and I was diagnosed with an UNDER ACTIVE THYROID. For the following 2 months Zoe treated me for both my hypothyroidism and general fertility after which time I became pregnant and my thyroid function had returned to normal. I continued seeing Zoe at various times throughout my pregnancy - having both acupuncture and massage she was able to deal with all my pregnancy issues. At the end of my pregnancy I did the pre-birth treatments and was able to have the water birth I hoped for without any intervention.

I had given up hope of conceiving naturally until I came to Zoe - I can hardly believe that I am now the proud mum of my beautiful boy." Rachel

"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries at 18 and as part of the condition had severe acne for which I was put on the pill. When I decided to start trying for a family 15 years later I came off the pill but my periods were irregular and infrequent. When I first came to Zoe I could go for 5 months without having a period and had only had 8 periods over the 2 years since coming off the pill. Over 4 months of treatment I had 2 periods and during the following cycle I fell pregnant with my son Oscar. I'm always recommending Zoe to people. She gets great results and is so sympathetic and supportive that you always feel better after seeing her." Nina

"I was experiencing hyperemesis gravidarem (extreme morning sickness) and my obstetrician suggested acupuncture as a possible treatment. I have to be honest and say I was somewhat sceptical, plus I have a rather healthy dislike of needles; but feeling so desperately ill, and as though I was going out of my mind with the sickness, I was willing to try anything.

Even after the very first treatment I felt better. More important than even the gradual improvement in the nausea and number of times vomiting (sorry to be graphic!), was the feeling that I was back in control. I still had morning sickness but I was controlling it rather than the other way round. The acupuncture also relieved other symptoms I was experiencing such as the constant salivating, constipation and the inexplicable inability to sleep, to name but a few.

I couldn't recommend Zoe as a practitioner highly enough; reassuringly thorough and professional, yet warm and relaxed in the delivery of her care. I looked forward to my acupuncture sessions and will always be incredibly grateful for both the physical and mental benefits it provided. Fiona

"Am finally at home with my angels you helped create! How can I ever thankyou? I'm so happy I'm still crying and can't quite believe my twins are finally here" Anna

"I was experiencing great bladder discomfort exacerbated by a prolapsed womb The specialist examined me and wished to undertake an exploratory operation and gave me to understand that he considered that a hysterectomy would appear to be the most obvious solution to my problems. At that point I started series of treatments with Zoe. Even afar a few visits I felt almost as if my womb had been ‘yanked’ up. After a few weeks, I felt able to cancel the original exploratory operation. On revisiting my specialist, it was decided that I would no longer need a hysterectomy!! Alongside this wonderful result, I also found that, not only had my bladder problems improved, but so also had my IBS and accompanying haemorrhoids problems. Thank you Zoe!" Angela

"I went to see Zoe after she was recommended by a friend. I had been suffering from IBS symptoms for many years and was fed up with the lack of support I was getting from my GP. My treatments, plus the dietary and lifestyle advice she gave me made a huge difference. I loved Zoe's holistic approach of getting to the cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. My body feels so much healthier and happier now and I have a lot more energy. I wish I had come to Zoe sooner." Helen

"I initially went to see Zoe as I was recommended to her by a friend who knew she would be able to get to the bottom of why I was constantly getting heavy colds.

My main issue was that I had a really low immune system and would always be picking up colds and flu. After initial consultations with Zoe she was able to draw out other issues that were contributing to my low immune system namely that I suffered from bad constipation (would only go to the toilet about once a week). This was really starting to make me feel slow with not much energy.

In addition to this I had mild asthma and hayfever. Zoe has made such a difference as before I would have to take anti histamine every day in order to keep my hayfever under control; now I have not had any hayfever for the last two seasons.

I also had acupuncture with Zoe for my sinus issues as well as my constipation. This has helped me massively and I now rarely get colds and am no longer constipated.

Would definitely recommend Zoe as she has really made such a huge difference in my quality of life – I have more energy and don’t need to always carry round a box of tissues with me!" Amber

"I have to deeply thank Zoe Lake for the treatment I received. Professional and sweet, Zoe gave me treatments for hayfever. I live in Wimbledon close to the Common and I am a garden designer so as you can imagine spring is both my preferred and most hated season. For many years I suffered from a strong hayfever, but I did not want to follow any chemical treatment in the past.

I was very impressed by the lightness of Zoe's handling with needles. I must admit that it was for me something magical seing that after only two treatments I did not feel anymore the pain of the hayfever.

One year later, this year, my hayfever is still better. I deeply suggest anyone struggling with the hayfever to have treatments with Zoe." Manfredi

"I have had various ailments over the last few years that were not particularly successfully treated by my local medical health centre.

However, I received some excellent results when treated by Zoë Lake. Some years ago I suffered a severe bout of sciatica which could be raced back to a longstanding injury. Treatment by Zoë, both acupuncture and tui na massage has meant that this problem appears to have now been fully resolved. At the same time, the massage has completely resolved the severe upper back tension that I have suffered from over many years. However, it is not just the treatment, it is also the very sympathetic approach and, for someone actually terrified of needles, the almost painless insertion of the acupuncture needles." Sonya

"Zoe helped me tremendously with my asthma, and helped to reduce my addiction to cigarettes which I gave up with the help of acupuncture. Zoe's acupuncture and tui na were also very effective in treating my headaches, stress and back pain. Zoe is friendly, highly competent and very professional, and I would recommend her to any of my friends or colleagues." Peter
