Karla came highly recommended to me from an acupuncturist colleague of Karla's who is a family friend. I have been attending weekly sessions for a couple of months and have felt reassured, cared for and my health is definitely improving to the extent that I am completely blown away! Thank you Karla

Karla has been great at helping me understand my cycle and how to improve the regularity alongside the supplements I’ve been taking. The combination of supplements and acupuncture treatments have meant my cycle has gone from a 15 day variation to 4 day variation in 5 months.

I saw Karla for plantar fasciitis. The acupuncture and laser treatment she provided really helped reduce the pain and improved my mobility. She’s very professional and the clinic is a great environment.

I saw Karla throughout my pregnancy in 2023/24 and have returned for further acupuncture sessions to help me feel more balanced. Karla is always so knowledgeable and explains how the use of acupuncture will benefit me, by working on areas of tension. I feel throughly relaxed after seeing Karla as she is very calm in her approach and provides comfort! Would always recommend.

After years of chronic migraines and relying on painkillers, I tried acupuncture with Karla at the Wandsworth clinic. It has been life-changing. My attacks are much less frequent now, and the tension in my neck and shoulders has finally cleared. If you want a natural approach to migraine relief, Nature Heals is the place to go.

Top marks for Nature Heals. I originally went in for chronic back pain, and Karla is easily the best acupuncturist in London I’ve worked with. She’s knowledgeable and the clinic has a great vibe. It’s helped my recovery and general well-being massively. Highly recommend for anyone looking for effective pain relief.

Karla was amazing, I was so eager to get pregnant Karla was so supportive and positive. I had one massage with her in March/April and fell pregnant in May. I've got a beautiful healthy child now and couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Karla for working your magic.
