My partner and I used acupressure, under Tom's guidance, for pain relief in labour and found it to be tremendously effective, and nicely complemented the Hypnobirthing practice we'd been using as our main guide through labour. In the end my partner did not find it necessary to use any other form of pain relief. As well as the effectiveness of the pressure points at directly relieving pain, there was a significant benefit in me having an active (and useful) role to play during labour. The constant physical contact between us helped strengthen our bond, and let my partner know that I was present and engaged in the process, even when she was deeply internally focussed. My partner found my presence reassuring, and the active role of performing acupressure helped us both feel part of a shared experience.

Tom is my favourite therapist in Bristol!! I've been seeing him on and off for around 6 years now and his mix of acupuncture & tuina really works well on my body. He is extremely intuitive and knowledgable which gives me utmost confidence when I'm explaining my latest physical issues. What can sometimes feel complicated on my arrival, Tom will have simplified and set the healing in motion by the time I leave. He's treated me for everything from hormonal inbalances to a trapped nerve & tension in my jaw, plus much more... he always connects with any deeper issues, considers emotional and lifestyle contributing factors, whilst his gentle approach inspires total relaxation and trust in his healing abilities. I can't recommend Tom enough!

I have been seeing Tom for my migraines since July 2012. Having had regular headaches for some years, I was at that time suffering from a severe bout of very regular headaches. After a couple of sessions they reduced dramatically and I now have very few headaches and each one is much less severe when it does come. I'm so glad I tried it. I seem him every 4-8 weeks now I haven't had a day off work for a headache for over 6 months. I also rarely lose evenings and weekends like I used to. Tom is respectful and friendly and always explains things thoroughly. I strongly recommend him.
