"After only a few sessions, Melissa has significantly improved both my physical and cognitive energies and my anxiety levels through her positive, knowledgeable and understanding practice."  AT.

 

"I started seeing Melissa six months ago. The difference to my health has been startling. My migraines have diminished and my general outlook and well-being have improved dramatically.

Melissa is thorough and got to know me so that she could work with me and my idiosyncrasies. She

understands what I want, how I am feeling and would like to feel, and works with that.

I would recommend her to you as a professional, hard-working and caring person who really tries to get to the root of the problem, often identifying things I was unaware of. She believes in the science of acupuncture and, thanks to her, so do I."  CE.

 

"A safe space on every level, a reassuring mix of competency and empathy". RS.

 

"My treatment with Melissa has massively improved my well-being. I have more energy, less anxiety, reduced food cravings, and feel more grounded. I have recently experienced a breakthrough in a longstanding condition thanks to Melissa's treatment. Getting acupuncture has been transformational, and I thoroughly recommend Melissa's professional, friendly and methodical approach."  CN.

 

"When you get an appointment to see the doctor or a dentist, you may toss and turn and not get a good sleep the night before. An appointment with Melissa is completely different, get a good night' sleep and just turn up, unconcerned and leave her to ask question and investigate. She will soon diagnose the problem and start sorting you out, with an "ease and care" that is amazingly rare in our modern day environment.  Don't just take my word for it, try it yourself. Experiencing acupuncture has really helped with pain and stiffness in my osteoarthritic knee after only 4 sessions."  ACT.

 

"I went to Melissa after becoming diabetic and to loose weight. I was impressed by her approach to find out the right points for my treatment. I have now reached my goal of losing 15 Kgs and my blood glucose levels are almost down to normal. Of all the acupuncturists I have been too, she was the best and I would recommend her for anyone looking for treatment." MR. 

 

"I came to see Melissa to improve my general health and to help me with a recent diagnosis of an overactive thyroid.  I started on a course of medication alongside receiving acupuncture, whilst waiting to see the consultant.  After my first treatment of acupuncture, I felt nicely relax.  After the third treatment, I felt energy start to flow through my body.

I went to see the consultant and he was amazed at how fast I had responded to the thyroid medication.  He had expected to see a response in 6-8 weeks, and this had occurred after 2 weeks.  He asked me what else could have contributed to this improvement and I can only say that it was the acupuncture treatments. 

Since then, I have continued to have regular acupuncture with Melissa and my medication has been lowered twice within the first 3 months of treatment.  I am now taking a minute dose, and I am thrilled.  I cannot praise Melissa enough. She is a gifted practitioner that treats your mind, body and spirit.  I always feel uplifted after the treatments and know instinctively and physically that my health improves with each session.  For me I view acupuncture as self care and a gift." TS.

 

" As a Southend United Football Club fan watching them come from behind to win on penalties and qualify for the National League playoff final was a little stressful. Thankfully I had attended a NADA Protocol Group Acupuncture session with Melissa Shapland Acupuncture and so was feeling nice and relaxed beforehand. Would thoroughly recommend a visit if you're feeling stressed and it's a quick and affordable session as part of a small group. " JW.
