York Traditional Acupuncture

I visited York Traditional Acupuncture two years ago with neck and shoulder pain. Tiziana gave me a 6 x once a week intensive course which has reduced pain almost 100%. Since then I have continued with a once per six week general maintenance session. Of particular note this year Tiziana offered me nutritional advice concerning long term digestive IBS-type symptoms. I followed this and it appears to be 100% successful. Tiziana is an excellent practitioner. She is professional and helps you feel at ease. I would very much recommend this practice.

Tatiana has been so helpful with my health concerns: stress and nerve pain. She is very professional and I have recommended her to family and friends. After 6 months I am now pain free due to her care.

Having suffered from sciatica, lower back pain and right tennis elbow, I decided to have a consultation with Tiziana, and despite being sceptical, I decided to book a course of six sessions, and I'm very pleased to advise that at the end of the treatment my sciatica has gone and the lower back pain is very much starting to disappear along with the tennis elbow. So I'm pleased to offer my thanks to Tiziana and would heartily recommend York Traditional Accupuncture to any one suffering aces and pains. Five star service and quality. Once again many thanks to you Tiziana. Kind regards. Philip.

I have suffered with lower back problems for several years taking handfuls of painkillers in the process! Tiziana is the only one who has given me some lasting relief. (I have told her that 200 years ago, she would have been burned at the stake! ) she is very knowledgeable, professional and charming. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

I had struggled with poor sleep and insomnia, which I attributed to menopause, for more than five years. I was feeling constantly tired and lacking in motivation and dreaded going to bed each night and lying awake whilst feeling utterly exhausted. My symptoms (hot flushes, rapid heart rate and feelings of anxiety) became more pronounced when I was prescribed oestrogen blocking medication to treat breast cancer. Not wanting to take more medication I began to explore the alternatives and decided to try acupuncture. At my first consultation Tiziana gave me dietary advice, which I have followed, and after three sessions my sleep began to improve dramatically. By the end of seven sessions I was sleeping soundly every night and falling back to sleep easily when I woke during the night. I now wake earlier and feel much more relaxed, energized and positive, far more like my old self. I wish that I had known about the beneficial effects of acupuncture on poor sleep years ago. I look forward to my acupuncture appointments with Tiziana as it is very a calm and relaxing experience with such positive outcomes. .Moreexpand_more

After months of increasingly debilitating pain in my knee, I decided to look online for an acupuncturist. I came across York Traditional Acupunture, was immediately struck by the professionalism and confidence of the website, and decided to give Tiziana a call. I have now had a few sessions with her, and I can happily say that my first impression was spot-on; my knee pain has reduced massively, to the extent that I am able to run my busy life as I did before, which is fantastic, and a massive relief. Tiziana seems, to me, to have a profound understanding of the intricate energy systems of the human body - it's as if she 'reads' her patients, and aims to re-tune them skillfully and organically back into energy equilibrium and harmony; which in itself is, literally, life-enhancing, and the absolute key to proper long-term health. I am so grateful to have found her and to benefit from her great experience and ability.

Attended several appointments for tennis elbow with Tiziana, made to feel very welcome in a nice relaxing environment, Tiziana asked questions with regards to my elbow and then explained everything that she was going to do. Very polite and professional throughout and I highly recommend. On another note my elbow is so much better. Thankyou.

I decided to try acupuncture as a whim after reading about alternative natural methods to help with fertility. My partner and I had been trying to conceive for 9 months with no luck. Tiziana is so experienced with incredible knowledge about so many conditions! I also mentioned about being borderline low thyroid and a lack of motivation. After a couple of sessions I incredibly fell pregnant for the first time! I sadly lost this pregnancy in the early stages. I continued with acupuncture and fell pregnant again after 2 months! I am now 14 weeks pregnant and have normal thyroid levels (after 5 years of being borderline). I cannot recommend Tiziana enough and I’m amazed at the results. Thank you again for everything.Moreexpand_more

Tiziana has been helping me recover my energy levels and general well being following open heart surgery last year. As well as the acupuncture treatment (which I have found very beneficial) she has also been able to advise me on associated lifestyle changes that are also significantly helping me. I would thoroughly recommend Tiziana as a very capable, knowledgeable and caring professional.

I have seen Tiziana at times when I’ve felt overwhelmed and exhausted and this has caused a flare up of skin conditions and problems with my immune system that traditional medicine struggles to treat. Tiziana works to clear the internal heat from my body and helps me to reset my body into a state of calm, an approach which then sees my skin conditions and immune system start to calm and settle. I’ve recommended her to several friends for a variety of conditions and they have all been very impressed!

I have been receiving weekly acupuncture sessions from Tiziana for almost a year to support my recovery from long covid, which I have had for over 20 months. Prior to getting covid, I was very fit and healthy - I enjoyed hiking, martial arts and went to the gym 4 times a week. I enjoyed an active social life and foreign travel. All of that came to a sudden stop when I caught covid and developed post-covid syndrome (long covid). For a long time I was housebound and struggled to cook meals for myself or carry out basic chores like cleaning. From the outset Tiziana explained that on its own, acupuncture would not be sufficient to heal someone from long covid but that it could be helpful as part of a multi-modality approach. Long covid is a complex illness, for which there is no known cure and very limited support on the NHS. It causes mass inflammation on a cellular level throughout the body and brain. Like many others with this condition, my symptoms include extreme fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraines, visual disturbances, tinnitus, muscle spasms anxiety and depression. There is no doubt that I have benefitted from Tiziana's acupuncture treatments. The acupuncture has helped put my body into a healing state by activating the para-sympathetic nervous system and calming the nervous system. I always leave feeling very calm and relaxed after my treatments. Tiziana is very knowledgeable and always takes time to ask questions to understand what has happened between treatments so she can tailor each session accordingly. She has given me helpful advice on diet, nutrition and supplements to complement the treatments and support my recovery. She is professional and always has a warm smile. For anyone like me who has spent so much time, energy and money in looking for a way to recover from long covid, the there are a few things that have been instrumental in my journey to recovery (there has been much trial and error and vast amounts of research to work this out): Acupuncture LDN (low dose naltrexone) - this is not available on the NHS so you have to get it privately. Melatonin - to help with insomnia and an anti-inflammatory. Magnesium - to help with migraines, sleep and muscle spasms. Meditation - daily, up to an hour. Vitamin B2 - for migraines. Qi Gong / Tai Chi.I have come a long way since I first started seeing Tiziana - I have gone from being unable to work for several months, to managing to return to work, first on a phased return, then full time. I have gradually increased my activities and recently have managed to go abroad on holiday. I am not yet fully recovered but am so much better than I was and confident that a full recovery is possible if I continue with the regime described above.Moreexpand_more

I was having lots of neck pain and decided to give acupuncture a try. Tiziana is great she has helped to relieve my neck pain and I left every session feeling so relaxed, almost meditative type state. She is also so lovely and easy to talk to which makes you feel so comfortable in her presence. Highly recommend!

I stopped breastfeeding my first child in February and was trying to get pregnant again. A started having regular cycles from April but wasn’t getting pregnant. Although I wasn’t desperate (yet) I didn’t want to wait too much longer to conceive so I booked my first appointment in October and got pregnant straight after. I have two other friends who had been trying to conceive and got pregnant after only one visit to Tiziana. I have continued to go during pregnancy because I find it so relaxing and it has helped me with morning sickness. And I’ve saved two sessions for later on in my pregnancy as Tiziana can also prepare you for birth. I honestly went in with a bit of scepticism having never tried acupuncture before but I really believe there is something to this and would go back with other health problems in the future due to Tiziana’s holistic approach and professionalism.

I had a course of acupuncture with Tiziana for my cold hands. As a freelancing musician, I was finding it hard to practice as my hands were constantly cold and aching. I really enjoyed my sessions with Tiziana. I found her to be very knowledgeable and a calming presence. I left every session feeling very zen, and had a brilliant night sleep after. My hand temperature has much improved and I would highly recommend Tiziana. Thank you!

Acupuncture sessions with Tiziana have been miraculous in easing the chronic back pain I had from compacted discs and stress fracture. I leave every session feeling in much less pain and in an overall state of calmness and relaxation, followed by a fantastic night’s sleep! I highly recommend Tiziana for anyone suffering with chronic pain.

Suddenly started to develop problems with my left knee. Doctor wanted to give me cortisone injections which I was far from being keen on. After researching online, decided to go with Tiziana and I'm glad I did. Other than sorting out the knee in question, Tiziana's managed to rid me of a few other ailments like muscle pain and neck pain. She is also a very good listener and great to talk to. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend York Traditional Acupuncture. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it’s helped enormously. Tiziana is professional, highly trained and knowledgeable in her field and her clinic is spotlessly clean and smells of essential oils! It’s a very relaxing place to be treated. My pain and inflammation levels are reducing and I believe that acupuncture is really helping me.

I went to see Tiziana after having fertility and menstrual cycle difficulties. Tiziana listened to my concerns and the symptoms I was experiencing and suggested a course of treatment. Tiziana clearly was very knowledgable in women’s health and made me feel confident that she would endeavour to provide the best care possible for me. She was professional, understanding, supportive and extremely skilled in her work. I noticed an improvement in my menstrual cycle and after two miscarriages I went on to successfully have my healthy baby girl. I truly believe the support and expertise from Tiziana contributed to helping me complete my family. I will forever be grateful and cannot recommend Tiziana enough. I will always turn to her if I have any other issues that acupuncture can assist with.

I use Tiziana for a serious plantar fasciitis problem that would not previously shift - despite trying everything that "normal" medicine could throw at it (cortisone injections, shock wave therapy etc. The consultant at the hospital told me he had run out of ideas and I would have to live with it). I tried acupuncture as a last, desperate measure to cure really horrible foot pain. I did not expect it to work, but had nothing to lose. I have been absolutely amazed how effective it has been, and my eyes have been opened to the benefits of acupuncture. I would genuinely recommend Tiziana to anybody - she really knows what she is doing, and is friendly and passionate about her work. The reviews don't lie!

I cannot thank Tiziana enough. I was in York on holiday, when I was struck down with the most debilitating ear infection of my life. Tiziana was kind enough to offer a cancellation appointment and my goodness was I grateful. I've been to very many acupuncturists and I could tell immediately how good she was. The infection after two sessions was well on the way out. Since this was the worse infection I've ever had, I was amazed how much she speeded it up. It really helps to feel so safe and understood. Sessions with her are fascinating, I'm just gutted that she is so far away as I'm based in London.
