Lucent Acupuncture

I have been seeing Sam for almost 3 years. He is an extremely adept and insightful practitioner. He has supported me through times of physical and emotional pain. His treatments are very powerful and I always experience instant and major shifts in my wellbeing after treatment. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. As a therapist myself I have experienced many treatments/therapes/therapists. I trust Sam implicitly and his accupuncture and consultations are the way I support my wellbeing, in my very demanding life.

I have been coming to see Sam May for 18 months, either in the multi-bed clinic but also for a number of sessions on a 1:1 basis. I first came with a muscle problem in the hip area after a fall. I was in alot of pain and Sam approached this difficult problem with care, great patience and thought. I also included aqua exercises, massage and now it is very manageable. I am 69 and in reasonable health but initially was very low in spirit which was affecting my well being. I hadnt expected or intended to address this in the acupuncture session, but Sam's sensitivity and intuitive approach to the whole person - mind, body, spirit - quite quickly revealed some things at an energetic level that needed attention. Very quickly with acupuncture at the multi-bed clinic, and some longer discussions and helpful insights about my spiritual path/life I began to feel alive again and see my way forward. Sam guided me in a gentle, perceptive and caring way without being intrusive. His openess and honesty were so helpful in getting to the the heart of the matter. In addition I have been overweight for a number of years and with acupuncture for weight loss and water retention, and combining that with Slimming World I have lost 2 stone in the last year. You are never too old to keep taking care of mind, body, spirit and Sam is a highly competent therapist and I would encourage anyone to go to his clinic and see for themselves.Moreexpand_more

I came to Sam for lower back pain, headaches and sleep disturbances - all issues were resolved in a couple of months, and he has helped me improve my diet and meditation practice too. Well done Sam, keep up the good work and many thanks! No hesitation in recommending him to others.

At the beginning of every session, Sam asks you about your well-being and any problems or improvements from the previous week. I happened to tell him that I had given up smoking 5 days before and was finding it hard to fight the cravings, I was using patches and nicotine lozenges at the time. He said that some needles in my ears could be helpful and asked if I wanted to give it a go. Having nothing to lose, I agreed and the session went on. Sam said that I might feel "high" after it but I didn't feel anything, to be honest. The day after, I went out and at the end of the day, I was like: "Hang on, there's something missing here and I just can't put my finger on what it is" I had this feeling nagging me until I saw someone smoking and I realised what the missing thing was: My cravings! Completely gone, it was as if I had never smoked ! I was waiting on my own for a bus at one point and I didn't have any cravings or anxiety; I was just happily waiting, doing nothing. I had tried to give up many times before, but this is it, I am a non smoker now! I can't thank Sam enough for this.Moreexpand_more

I can always rest assured that Sam will tap into his vast knowledge of Chinese Medicine, in order to choose the appropriate acupuncture points for me.

Thank you for all your help.

Sam is very professional and his patients comfort and care are clearly paramount to him.

Sam made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I was really nervous about the needles but Sam was so patient. As it turned out, I had nothing to feel nervous about! Acupuncture has helped me in so many aspects of my life and health. I have recommended Sam to so many people and everybody always has something nice to say.

Sam is a knowledgeable and compassionate acupuncturist, with keen insight and a kind and caring manner. I would highly recommend Sam.

Acupuncture from Sam has really helped me during my pregnancy and has made it a lot more manageable. Treatments leave me feeling relaxed and more in tune with my body. I have had Acupuncture for a number of years from different practitioners but Sam stands out in that I feel like the acupuncture is really working fully each time and I feel comfortable during the session.
