Mrs Melanie Cullis

I came to Melanie at The Acupuncture Practice struggling with severe anxiety and tinnitus. Melanie took a detailed inventory of my symptoms, medical history and recent traumatic events, before embarking on a tailored programme of acupuncture. Within a few sessions, I noticed some relief to my symptoms, in particular tension in my digestive system, ears and head. At times, I could almost feel the needles opening up my circulatory channels and aiding my recovery. Over time, her acupuncture treatment, in conjunction with other therapy, helped relieve my anxiety and reduce my tinnitus significantly. I would recommend Melanie for help with anxiety and any stress related illnesses - she is kind, gentle and patient, as well as incredibly knowledgeable. Her clinic is clean, airy and smells fantastic too!

I really can’t recommend Melanie enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, not just about acupuncture but about fertility and supporting the body through pregnancy. After experiencing two early losses, Melanie helped me understand what may have been contributing to them and gave me reassurance and support along the way. I also really appreciated her honesty throughout. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant, and I really feel that Melanie’s knowledge, care and support have been such an important part of my journey. Her treatments were also hugely beneficial during the early weeks of my pregnancy, particularly in helping to ease symptoms and making what was a very anxious time feel much more manageable. I’m grateful to her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone going through fertility or pregnancy difficulties.

Melanie opened my eyes to the power and positive energy acupuncture can have on the body. We came to see her after fertility and early pregnancy issues after a bad experience with our local doctor. The work she has done with us has been so helpful and has worked wonders! After two early losses, with her help and support we are now expecting our little girl any day now!! I would recommend to everyone and anyone who may need the help.

Melanie has a wealth of knowledge about all things fertility, and I found it incredibly helpful to gain a deeper understanding of the process throughout our journey. Her guidance extended beyond female fertility, and her recommendation for male fertility testing and knowledge around it ultimately proved to be a significant part of our path to conception too. Every session provided not only treatment but also reassurance and support. I always felt comfortable discussing any concerns with Melanie and greatly appreciated her thoughtful advice and encouragement. The clinic itself is beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming - such a calm environment where I could truly relax. Each appointment was both enjoyable and restorative, and I always left feeling more informed, supported, and positive. I also continued to see her throughout my pregnancy and found her support just as valuable at this stage. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone seeking fertility support. Her expertise, compassion, and holistic approach made a real difference during an important chapter of our lives.

I have been seeing Melanie for around a year now. The condition that brought me here was Lichen sclerous, a nasty skin condittion affecting the vulval area. I didn't really have high expectations but after seeing other professionals and trying many treatments to no effect it was worth a try. Melanie and I worked together to improve my lifestyle and diet and with regular acupuncture treatments I gradually began to feel a whole lot better. The condition is not curable but I hardly notice it now and on top of that I am healtheir both in mind and body

Melanie was incredibly warm and welcoming. As someone who was quite anxious about trying acupuncture for the first time, I felt completely supported by her holistic approach. Her professionalism and deep understanding helped me relax, and it was clear to see her passion and expertise in Chinese medicine. I became pregnant with my second child within just a few sessions! I am now looking forward to returning to continue my holistic journey and becoming the best version of myself.

I came to Melanie when I was in total crisis. I saw so many urologists and gynaecologists and noone had any answers. I had so many investigations and scans and different things eliminated. Melanie has made me have a life again and has made so many of symptoms go. It’s amazing at the progress I am making and I will forever be grateful for finding Melanie!

I came to see Melanie over a year ago for help with stress and acid reflux. I find the sessions very relaxing and acupuncture, together with other lifestyle changes, mean I now rarely take any antacid medication. Melanie is very knowledgeable and professional, and I would thoroughly recommend her.

Melanie is a wealth of knowledge and gives so much reassurance. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and offers the most invaluable advice and tips as well as the best acupuncture!
