Acupuncture Testimonials

"I was recommended by a friend to try acupuncture because I had a difficult time at the beginning of my second pregnancy. ... and I thought I will give it a try to treat my symptoms, especially after my GP told me she couldn't really help me. That's how I met Atsuko. From the first moment we meet I knew I have made the right decision. During the initial consultation, we had a long talk, more then an hour, about me and my health. No GP would ever take so much time to talk so deeply to their patient. Slowly after one session we started to approach one symptom after the other. I very soon felt how acupuncture helped my body and my mind to get its balance and strength back. It was a great experience and big relief... Atsuko is a fantastic person, with a great knowledge not only about acupuncture but also about diet and exercise. Thank you so much Atsuko!" Jake Jarvis was born on the 31st of May, 2010.

"I went to see Atsuko as my energy levels were low, and I was constantly exhausted and wasn't sleeping well. I also was feeling very sad and a bit angry about life. I had about 6 treatments with her. After the first treatment I felt like the dark cloud disappeared within a few days. I started feeling Joy again. I continued with the treatment and am happy to say that I am now sleeping well most nights. I really think that she was an angel sent to me. I found that she had a very gentle approach and totally non-judgmental."

"I love going to my acupuncture treatments with Atsuko.  She is very professional,  skilful, and knowledgeable.  I am in late thirties and currently on my 8th session of facial treatment.  The results are very evident, specially in the forehead, where the expression lines have practically disappeared and around the mouth the lines have diminished significantly.  My complexion has improved from a mild acne to a beautiful, clear, even tone skin.  I am very satisfied and happy with the results, not only for the excellence (quality) of them, but also with the speed of the improvements."

"I have a great deal of respect for Atsuko as a Yoga teacher as well as an acupuncturist.  Her compassionate approach to understanding my chronic back problem not only helps relieve pains but also improve posture and that brightens my facial tone and expression.  Atsuko has a natural caring personality which lets loose my tension and gets down to the source of the pains.  I can certainly recommend her treatment to those with similar pains that medical doctors can not seem to find cure for."

Yoga Testimonials

"I am away in the USA now, but doing my practice. I believe you would be proud of me! I found a yoga centre very close to where I am staying and attended all the classes last week. Really enjoying it. And, now that I have seen different methods I can definitely see the benefits of having you as a teacher. The breathing techniques and the explanations that you've been teaching us helped me a lot. Regardless of the class level, I was able to understand and readjust the yoga poses as per my needs, applying the basics you taught me. I still have a long way to go until my practice would be self sustainable but I believe having had the start with you made the difference around how I practice and how I feel the benefits that yoga is bringing me."
(Anamaria Zsoldi / West Hamstead, London)

"... I will be coming to London regularly. I will miss your yoga. It was pure bliss and I felt like a baby after the session, clean and content. The quality of your presence, quite and assuring that naturally takes me to the relaxation mode. You are very special yoga teacher, I'll miss you. Also let me know about any yoga retreats I could join (I will fly from Prague.)."
(Klara Skorepova / Prague, Czech Republic)

" ... Atsuko is an excellent teacher. She is able to listen and assess clearly, is extremely sympathetic and empathic and able to clearly understand and act on the needs of the pupil. ...She specializes in working with people with physical health problems, and she has deep understanding of how very difficult it is living with a differently abled body. She works with great compassion and presence which is extremely supportive to the student."
(Dr. Y.K., UK)

"I attended Atsuko's yoga classes in the health club, and I looked forward to every Friday morning, because I knew that the class would make me feel more relaxed in mind and body. As the weeks went on, I also felt stronger and more flexible, and my balance and posture have improved. Atsuko is a wonderful teacher, with a clear and calm teaching style that allows everyone in the class to benefit, whether you are a beginner or an experienced yoga practitioner. Even better are the smaller private classes at Nelsons Pharmacy Clinic, where Atsuko has more time to give individual attention to each member of the class."
