“I visited Anna when we were trying to conceive our first baby with no success for almost two years. Anna was so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable she instantly put my mind at ease that I was in good hands. There’s so much information available that it all becomes very overwhelming and I found acupuncture with Anna such a relaxing time. The release of tension and anxiety during every session was amazing. I highly recommend Anna. I will definitely be back again when it is time to start trying for baby no.2″

“Anna has a lovely way of making you feel relaxed and I really looked forward to my sessions with her. Anna really has healing hands and she helped soothe My painful sciatica with both acupuncture and massage. I was also mourning the loss of a loved one and I felt so uplifted and light on the feet after her treatments. I highly recommend Anna for anyone who needs to balance their body and/or mind. A truly holistic experience.”

“I would highly recommend Anna. I was 36 weeks pregnant when I booked an appointment with Anna to help turn my baby that was lying transverse in my tummy. I wanted to release what was stopping my baby from getting into proper position for birth. If by 38 weeks my baby wasn’t head down, then I was going to be admitted to hospital. I had 2 sessions of acupuncture, pregnancy massage and was given moxibustion and moxa sticks to continue at home. Pelvic pain went away and I felt so much more relaxed after the sessions. I had a scan at 38 weeks and my baby is head down. Thank you so much Anna.”

“I went to see Anna in a very fragile state, I suffered with panic/anxiety attacks for most of my life! I find it hard to express what I am saying and as a result bottle it up and I end up very upset or worse still having a panic attack. Anna and her acupuncture skills taught me how to express what I am feeling and as a result over three sessions, over three weeks, I feel like a different person. I communicate much better and I realize when I need to express how I am feeling.
Anna taught me things that I didn’t realize about myself and made me feel at ease and comfortable at all times.I would never have considered acupuncture before but I am most definitely converted and I most definitely will be back to see you Anna!

“Anna Goodere has treated me for a number of years now, initially for shiatsu and latterly for acupuncture. She is an excellent practitioner in both areas but of late she has treated me with acupuncture. She can relieve both acute pain and deeper underlying problems. My energy, and my general health and wellbeing are greatly improved as a result of her treatments. I suffer from chronic back pain and the relief she has afforded me is immense. Over the years, many different acupuncturists have treated me and Anna is without doubt one of the two I would trust completely. Her instinct and skill are of a very high standard and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“I’d been having headaches ever since I was a teenager. Sometimes more often, sometimes none for a long time, but every time my head started to ache, ordinary pills wouldn’t help. I gave up on trying doing something about it when my GP said that I just needed stronger painkillers. Then I met Anna. At first I came to her for shiatsu massage for my back and shoulder problems. When she mentioned she was doing acupuncture as well, I thought this might be my last chance to get rid of my headaches that became more frequent recently. For first six weeks I was receiving the treatment every week and could see some little improvement. After another couple of weeks of bi-weekly treatments my headaches almost disappeared and now, after 4 months of regular treatment they are completely gone. Acupuncture also improved my sleep, which might have had negative influence on the headaches, too. Nowadays two hours of shiatsu and acupuncture every other week are kind of a special treat to myself. I want to continue with acupuncture although I got rid of my problem, because not only it has positive effect on health but it’s also a great relax.”

“Anna is a brilliant shiatsu therapist. She is a very intuitive and empathic person and her treatment reflects this style. I always feel extremely relaxed and nicely stretched after my treatment with her. I know her treatments have a very deep effect and that my body feels more in tune and connected with itself. I would have no hesitation recommending her to my family and friends.”

“I went to Anna for Shiatsu and Acupuncture treatments during my pregnancy. During the Shiatsu sessions the main feeling was relaxation and I found I could completely let go of myself and felt a very emotional and almost spiritual connection with myself. After the sessions I felt like a different person more energised and calm and much lighter in my step and more ready to cope with the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy. Overall, I felt rebalanced and energised and felt more deeply connected with my body and most importantly more deeply connected with my baby. I went to Anna also for Acupuncture as I suffered acute heartburn during pregnancy. I found no amount of prescribed medication could help with it. The Acupuncture sessions were amazing. Anna made me feel at ease and her confidence gave me hope. I couldn’t believe number one, that I could relax while I had needles in my body and number two, I got immediate results. The heartburn subsided and I got great relief. It also gave me a general feeling of wellbeing and fitness in pregnancy. I would recommend both Shiatsu and Acupuncture treatments with Anna to anybody. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to continue treatment postnatally”.

“Anna Goodere assisted on the birth of my daughter Ena on 17/12/08. She used acupressure to induce labour and also taught my husband acupressure points to use during labour. The acupressure points on my back made a huge difference and helped reduce the pain felt in my lower back. On the few times my husband had to leave the labour ward to use the bathroom or grab a bite to eat I struggled with the labour pains but while he was there pressing into my lower back I was able to remain calm and deal with the pain. My daughter had a wonderful natural and drug free birth and both myself and my husband were on a high after the birth. I felt great! The acupressure during labour had the added benefit of including my husband in the birth as his presence was vital to my ability to deal with the labour pains and at the end of it all he was as exhausted but as exhilarated as I was! Thanks Anna! We’ll need you now again for the birth of our second child in September!”

“I’ve tried many masseurs in my company, but Anna is my favourite by a mile! I am lucky to enjoy her treatments on a weekly basis and every time I look forward to my appointment with her. Anna has a great knowledge and sensitivity for the body and it takes her a look – before even a touch – to understand the problem areas a person might have. I always say that Anna can ‘read’ my body and act wonders with her strong but still delicate hands. Anna constantly helps me relieve the pain I have in my shoulders and when she’s massaging me it’s like she can read my mind by knowing exactly which are the spots I need her to work on. This makes a massage perfect, cause you can complete rely on her expertise. I definitely encourage everyone to let Anna massage you, you won’t be disappointed!”

“I find my shiatsu sessions with Anna greatly beneficial. I always feel lighter and more aligned with myself after a session. As well as being deeply relaxing and nurturing, shiatsu also alleviates tension and digestion problems and helps me to sleep better. Shiatsu always reminds me of how important it is to pay attention to my body.”
Laura
“I wasn’t sure what to expect from Shiatsu, but I’m a real convert. I’ve felt better after every visit, chronic problems have eased, and I feel more comfortable and balanced. And Anna is lovely – she is both very respectful and very warm, and I have happily recommended her to friends.”
