Acupuncture Excellence David Thorpe

I first reached out to David on recommendation from friend whilst trying to conceive. The sessions supported me both emotionally and physically whilst I went through some fertility treatment which was successful and I continued to see him throughout my pregnancy. Each session David’s approach towards treatment was very holistic to improve any physical aliments, support the pregnancy as well as improving my general wellbeing and maintain stress levels. He is professional, calm and understanding and I feel his expertise played a key part in the success of my fertility treatment. I would recommend David to anyone seeking Accupuncture, especially linked to fertility.

I found David’s details in May 2023 when I was in a really low point in my life after just suffering miscarriage. David had an extremely empathetic approach and got to work immediately with his acupuncture and in the August I was found out I was pregnant again. David supported me throughout my pregnancy, even when I started to get hypertension and gall bladder problems in my third trimester, David continued to see me and always researched new acupuncture points to try to help with any ailments I had. My baby ended up arriving early in Feb 2024, but I’ll be forever grateful to David for helping me on my fertility journey and the care he took with my treatment.

David is absolutely amazing. I came to him feeling lost, sad, overwhelmed and anxious after having 2 early miscarriages and desperate to start a family. I write this as I cuddle my 1 week old baby. I worked with David frequently. He calmed my nervous system, regulated my cycle, helped my anxiety and helped make my dreams come true. I will forever be grateful for my sessions. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable! Will be back asap! Thank you so much David.

I’ve been having acupuncture with David for my anxiety and back pain this year and the treatments have helped me massively. My quality of life has changed for the better due to lower stress from anxiety. He has helped provide me with some tips and tools to help me get through the worst of it. I cant recommend David enough .

I saw David Thorpe for Acupuncture treatment to address osteoarthritis and tendon pain, and his caring, understanding approach made all the difference. He was always polite, respectful, and took time to listen. I’ve noticed real improvements in my pain and mobility - Highly recommended.

I would like to thank David for his professionalism and for his dedication throughout the period of time that I visited him. He was a constant reassurance and made me feel more and more confident in my treatment with every session. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

David is a very experienced and knowledgeable professional acupuncturist. He also has many other areas of expertise related to health amd wellbeing. He has a holistic approach to his treatment and looks to help beyond what you may have originally considered to be the problem. It was my first experience of acupuncture and I recommend David if you are considering going down this route.

I had acupuncture with David (Hemel Hempstead) to support me through IVF and early pregnancy. I found David very compassionate and reassuring. My husband and I were successful in our IVF journey and are expecting our baby shortly. I have no doubt that acupuncture with David played a huge part in this.

I've been seeing David for acupuncture for a couple of years now to help with a variety of health concerns and overall wellbeing. Initially I went to him with very low mood due to hormonal imbalance and felt I wasn't getting anywhere with modern medicine/the NHS. After a few appointments I started to feel more emotionally in control and within three months my hormones were back to normal. Five months later I conceived naturally and continued seeing David throughout pregnancy - I strongly believe acupuncture was the reason I didn't have any morning sickness or lethargy! I knew I would visit David as soon as possible postpartum to help my body repair from birth and assist with the hormonal crash. Once again the results spoke for themselves with the night sweats disappearing almost immediately and daily anxiety subsiding a few days later. I will be forever grateful that I came across David's work and had his support. Highly recommend for all women but particularly those struggling with hormonal imbalance, fertility or helping to sustain healthy pregnancy - it works!

I’m super grateful for the support that I received from David throughout my pregnancy journey. I first reached out to him last year after experiencing an early pregnancy loss, seeking both physical and emotional support. From our first meeting, I felt confident in his care. His treatments helped me to physically recover after miscarriage, and when I faced a threatened miscarriage in my subsequent pregnancy, David’s sessions gave me the support I needed. Something I really valued was the emotional support that David also provided. Each session offered the chance to not only address my physical health but also to process the emotions that came with my experiences. His understanding and calm approach made a real difference, especially during the more challenging moments of my pregnancy. I continued seeing David right through into my third trimester. I truly believe his care played an important role in helping me on my journey to having a healthy baby girl. If you’re looking for someone who offers both physical and emotional support, I highly recommend David. His guidance and expertise were a key part of my positive experience during such an important time.Moreexpand_more

Highly recommend. After a difficult pregnancy loss in 2023 I started seeing David earlier this year because of his amazing reviews on fertility. Before my first appointment I found out I was pregnant (4 weeks), but I was very low and anxious despite falling pregnant again and really didn't feel like myself, it felt like everyday was becoming a struggle. David was thorough in understanding how I felt, background and the support I needed. After a few sessions I immediately felt the weight of some emotions I'd be feeling - lift. He is very warm, welcoming, understanding and takes pride in his work. David supported me weekly through a difficult 12 weeks (weekly) getting to the 3 month mark with pregnancy and beyond where I am now 35 weeks and preparing for my new arrival. I look forward to continuing to see David postpartum to rebalance my hormones and keep on an even keel as much as possible! Thanks, David!

I went to see David for morning sickness in my first trimester and help after suffering two previous losses. David made me feel at ease straight away, he was kind and offered practical advice which I have continued to use in my pregnancy. David didn't just help with morning sickness but addressed the severe anxiety I was experiencing and it made such a difference. I'm very grateful to David for his help and experience. Thank you.

I came to see David to help me prepare for a round of IVF. I had been struggling with infertility due to an over active immune system, and I was on a combination of medications to supress my immune system. I wanted to ensure that my body was as balanced as possible prior to embarking on an ivf transfer, so came to see David on a weekly basis for Acupunture in Berkhamsted. I continued seeing David through my pregnancy to support me during a highly anxious period. David is kind, calm and highly professional. It is impossible for me to say whether the acupunture led to my successful pregnancy. However, I am certain it helped me emotionally and physically during a very difficult period.

I became a client of David's as I had been trying to conceive for a period of time and had experienced a miscarriage. I was looking for an acupuncture practitioner and found David after reading online reviews. From the first appointment, I was sure that the acupuncture sessions with David would assist with my fertility journey and more generally my overall wellbeing. David was personable and empathetic and I left the session feeling refreshed and positive. I was fortunate to fall pregnant a month after starting the sessions and continued regular sessions with David throughout my pregnancy. I found the sessions to be an invaluable support for me, both emotionally and physically, with David taking time to tailor each session by discussing any challenges I had experienced that week. I highly recommend David. I now have a one week old baby boy and I truly believe that the treatment I received was key to my successful pregnancy journey. .

David has been a huge help and support to. Me for almost a year now. I went to him for acupuncture after beginning chemotherapy for cancer treatment. When the chemotherapy treatment started I had terrible nausea from the medication, but after one round of acupuncture the nausea completely went away. I found it quite amazing how effective it was. Since then David has continued to support me through the rest of my treatment and it has made a world. Of difference. Even now after I have had a session, I sleep better and feel much more energised. David is also a very kind and insightful person, and I have found his emotional support so helpful through this time. I still go back to some of the mindfulness tools that we have talked about together, when I'm having a difficult time. I honestly couldn't recommend David highly enough and I'm very thankful to him for all his help.Moreexpand_more

I first contacted David after a friend recommended I try acupuncture for fertility (we had been trying to get pregnant for a year and had decided it was time to explore options. We underwent fertility testing and found out that there was nothing medically preventing us from getting pregnant so rather than go into starting any hormonal treatment to speed things along I decided to give acupuncture a try so I contacted David. I wasn't sure what to expect but found that from the first session even just talking about the journey I had been on was really helpful, and David was always a very calming presence making me feel comfortable and at ease from the first session. I then had weekly sessions (which I was advised would be needed for about 3 months as the first course of treatment) - it was great to feel like I was doing something to help my journey and I found that sessions helped to manage my stress levels and give me space to keep a positive mindset - essential when trying to get pregnant. At the end of the 3 months I was lucky enough to find out that I was pregnant so I carried on with weekly sessions for the first trimester to support the pregnancy - again so useful and reassuring as the first 12 weeks is an anxious time. I managed to avoid the main symptoms of morning sickness and tiredness which were a huge bonus. After the first trimester I then dropped the sessions down to once a month (or as they were needed) but I think that the foundation of the treatment that I had at the start helped to lay the groundwork I needed for a smooth and easy pregnancy. The mind is such a powerful tool and combined with the treatment and taking that time for myself each week it all contributed to me having such a positive journey. I will definitely seek treatment for any future pregnancies. I had a really good experience with David, who is professional, not pushy on treatment (it's always your choice to carry on with sessions) and provides a safe space for you to discuss any worries or concerns, so if you are curious about if acupuncture can help you - I would say give it a try!Moreexpand_more

The most wonderful personalised service. I am 8 months pregnant now following 2 rounds of IVF David helped me through the 2nd round and I really feel it made such a difference to my mood and to the treatment.

I have been coming to see David for treatment for migraines, tmj and insomnia. I have been very impressed with David, I am responding well to treatment, my sleep is much better, the migraines are less severe amd frequent. The tmj has improved significantly as I am not waking up with terrible headaches. David is very knowledgeable and professional and takes time to listen. I would highly recommend David.

I saw David for accupunture in Berkhamsted for fertility issues. Would highly recommend him. He was very supportive throughout my fertility journey and I now have a healthy 10 week old baby. I am very grateful for all the help and support I received from David throughout the process, which made the journey much easier.

David was very knowledgeable and empathetic. I came to him for fertility reasons and I got pregnant! He was approachable and professional. I highly recommend.
