I would highly recommend. I’ve seen many doctors to try and find a solution for my random headaches and migraines. None of them really helped. Doctor started our session by asking a lot of questions, some expected and some not so much. He was very thorough and interested in the root cause. I learned more in one session than I did so far with all other doctors. Finding the nerve and piercing process was very quick. I didn’t have one of my headaches at the time so I didn’t feel huge relief, but my head definitely felt better. I got intructions about all that I need to do for aftercare as well as some other medical issues that I need to fix. It is really nice to actually have someone properly listen to you and offer real help.

We saw Mr Soper for my daughter, who experience lots of headaches & migraines. His explanation was incredible and not only did he give her the daith piercings in both ears, he gave her exercises to help with neck and posture issues. We would highly recommend. So far so good with the headaches.

Richard explained everything to me. From the reason that I could be having my migraines to exercises to help my posture and how the piercings can help. Was a very good experience and would recommend having these done. I had a migraine starting this morning and the pressure in my head relaxed during the acupuncture.

Really didn’t know what to expect, especially didn’t expect to talk about how bad my posture is! Had it done yesterday morning and had a brilliant nights sleep, cut the grass and my head didn’t hurt! (Long story, but brilliant news) Feel so much better and this only being 24 hours after the piecing!

Excellent communication and explanation of the reason for migraines and the medical terminology was broken down in a way we could understand

Richard was very knowledgable and explained everything in detail. The piercing itself was quick. Felt instant relief from the acupressure needles. Would highly recommend
