Miss Lisa Milnes maintains a supportive approach with patients. She uses Five Element acupuncture for fertility, IVF, pain, hormonal issues, and digestive problems like IBS. Patients praise her acupuncture for its strong positive impact on overall health.
Lisa was highly recommended to me and had played such an important part in my life. After only a months of treatment with her, just as I was preparing to begin IVF, I fell pregnant naturally — something I never imagined would happen What truly sets Lisa apart is the depth of her experience and the confidence that comes from years of dedicated practice. From the moment I met her, I felt I was in exceptionally knowledgeable hands. She has supported so many women through fertility challenges, and her expertise, intuition, and calm approach made such a difference during an incredibly emotional time. Lisa supported me every step of the way with so much compassion, kindness, and genuine care. Fertility challenges can feel overwhelming and emotional, but she always made me feel hopeful, listened to, and completely supported. Her experience and knowledge are incredible — she is one of the best acupuncturists in Central London. I’ll always be grateful for Lisa and everything she did for me. If you’re considering acupuncture for fertility support, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Finding Lisa Milnes has been one of the best things I’ve done for my mental health. If you’re looking for a highly skilled Five Element acupuncturist in central London, Lisa is exceptional. Her treatments feel incredibly precise and intuitive. She takes the time to understand the full picture of your health, not just the immediate issue you arrive with. Each session feels thoughtfully tailored, and her treatments leave you feeling more balanced, more like yourself, and with a quieter, clearer mind.
After receiving a labour induction acupuncture treatment from Lisa (with approval from my midwife), I went into labour the next day and gave birth to my son shortly after. I honestly feel so deeply grateful for her care and expertise during such an important moment in my pregnancy. From the very beginning she made me feel completely safe, supported, and at ease, and her calm, compassionate approach meant the world to me. I will always remember how much reassurance she gave me at that stage. I can’t thank her enough, and I would wholeheartedly and warmly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced acupuncturist, especially for pregnancy acupuncture or natural labour induction support.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Lisa Milnes. I was looking for a Five Element acupuncturist in Central London and her name kept coming up. After seeing her for several sessions I completely understand why. Lisa has a calm, thoughtful approach and really takes the time to understand what’s going on with your health. The treatments are gentle but powerful, and I always leave feeling noticeably more balanced and relaxed. There are lots of acupuncturists in London, but Lisa’s care, experience and attention to detail really set her apart. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate acupuncturist in London.
I’ve had two Five Element acupuncture sessions with Lisa so far, and even though the changes are still unfolding, I can already feel a subtle but meaningful shift in how I feel. Lisa is highly skilled, profoundly intuitive, and one of those rare practitioners who makes you feel genuinely seen and safe from the moment you walk in. Her presence is warm, grounded and deeply human, and her work carries a level of precision and insight that’s hard to put into words. I’m really grateful to have found her and I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with her.
I was struggling with really severe back pain and couldn’t get to work. After just 2 sessions Lisa had me back on my feet. I’m incredibly grateful for the difference she made.
Lisa’s treatments have gently but profoundly changed how I feel day to day. I now attend monthly to help me reconnect with myself, restore hormonal balance, and finally sleep well. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her
I highly recommend Lisa. We were very sceptical about acupuncture to start with, and had been trying to get pregnant for over two years. We were about to begin IVF when, with the help of Lisa’s treatments, we conceived naturally. She is incredibly knowledgeable and offered excellent advice throughout the process.
I’ve seen quite a few acupuncturists over the years, but Lisa is by far the most experienced and intuitive. She really takes the time to understand what’s going on, and her treatments have made a huge difference to my insomnia and anxiety. I always leave feeling calmer and more balanced – couldn’t recommend her enough.
Seeing Lisa has made such a big difference to my life. I feel completely listened to and genuinely cared for. Each session feels personal and supportive, and I always leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more balanced. She really knows her stuff and has such a warm, reassuring presence. Her treatments have helped me hugely, both with hormonal balance and emotional wellbeing. I now see her every month and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her.
Brilliant practitioner. I have referred many patients to Lisa with excellent feedback!
