Acupuncture Excellence David Thorpe

I became a client of David's during an extremely stressful time. I was distraught and in trauma/overwhelm. David used his experience and skills to not only provide therapy for the crisis but, ongoing, for the underlying causes. The combination of talking to establish current issues with designing the acupuncture part of the treatment in response to this worked very well for me. It meant that every stage of treatment was based on what was happening at that particular time. Through frank and often enlightening discussion I have been able to understand my situation and change my outlook. David is a calm. Measured and totally non-judgemental therapist who I can recommend without hesitation. I have visited both Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead clinics. .

I have had 10 sessions with David - the main reason was to resolve an ongoing tennis elbow issue that had continued for 6 months despite both osteopathy and steroid injections. This issue was resolved within 6 sessions. But I have also benefited improved overall emotional wellness which has meant that I continue to see him (my choice not his) as I feel I continue to derive benefit. He has a calm, professional, considerate and understanding manner. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I looked into acupuncture because I discovered I had hypothyroidism and unbalanced hormones and heard it might help. I was also concerned about the impact this would be having on my fertility as I approached 40. From the outset, I felt at ease and comfortable with David. He has a calm and level-headed demeanour, and he took the time to understand my unique circumstances beyond the physical problems that could be affecting my wellbeing, before tailoring his acupuncture treatment to my specific needs. I continued to see David weekly at both his Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted clinics for about 3 months while he supported me through a difficult relationship I was having. I would notice a build-up of tension throughout the week, but that would disappear after his sessions, and week by week this tension left me completely. What I realised from my treatment with David was that the most significant problem I was having was more to do with my emotional conditioning as a result of past relationship trauma. I have no idea how his acupuncture treatment works, but it has literally changed my life and within 4 months, I felt back to the person I used to be before a significant emotional ordeal Id gone through a few years earlier. I continued to see David monthly, and without any medical intervention, my stress hormones had regulated, and my thyroid levels and antibodies had significantly improved. I believe that was the knock-on effect of Davids treatment, and that by healing my emotional state of mind he also rebalanced my body physically. Several months after starting my treatment with David, I was told that I would struggle to conceive naturally and that I would likely need IVF, so David spent my following session focusing purely on fertility. While I had begun to make peace with the idea of not ever having a biological child, I decided it was still worth trying a treatment with him. To my absolute surprise, I fell pregnant naturally that same cycle. Im now 41 years old and 32 weeks along with my first baby and so far, having a smooth pregnancy with no complications. I truly believe that Davids treatment has altered the course of my life for the better by rebalancing my mind and body and enabling me to completely move on from past trauma that Id learned to live with by staying in what I can only describe as a kind of emotional safe/sleep' survival mode. I had no idea his treatment was going to help me in such a profound way, and I can honestly say that putting my trust in him is one of the best decisions I ever made.

I was sceptical about going to see David, but did what my wife told me to do and was very glad that I did. David eased my shoulder pain but most importantly his holistic approach really helped process a recent bereavement. I will defiantly go back to him when the need arises. Very happy to recommend David to others.
