Exeter Quayside Acupuncture

Having endured the debilitating fatigue of Long Covid for almost a year, I then developed severe muscle pains and lost strength in my arms and hands. In desperation I decided to try acupuncture and did a lot of online research before choosing Patti.I totally endorse all that other reviewers have said. Patti is a very special person. Not only does she have wonderful healing skills in both traditional Chinese and Japanese medicines, but with her holistic approach she carefully gets to know you as an individual and adapts her treatments accordingly. Her kindness, skill, commitment and moral support have been invaluable. I cannot thank her enough for the help she’s given me on the long road to recovery. It sounds daft to say it, but now that I’m restored to good health,, I shall miss my weekly treatments. That says it all really!

What can I say,what a lovely lady Patti is.Very calming,took time to listen with patience and compassion.Highly recommended. Xx

Patti is fantastic. She is patient, takes the time to listen and really puts you at ease. I’ve been seeing Patti for a few weeks now and there is definitely an improvement in all symptoms, some of which I had been told by GPs there was nothing that would help. Could not recommend Patti highly enough.

Patti is fantastic! She’s warm, caring, knowledgable and brilliant atwhat she does. I highly recommend her.I came to Patti, suffering from gastritis, being in pain on a daily bases. Up to this point, none of the medication I’d been prescribed was helping.I sensed the reason why the medication wasn’t working, was because the cause of the gastritis was emotionally based.The treatment I received focused on releasing and digesting stored emotions from the past. During treatment, a lot of past memories and emotions arose. I was able to process them and let go, feeling lighter in myself. In tandem the gastritis got better and better.I finished seeing Patti, free from pain and feeling a lot better as a person.My experience is an example of how emotions can cause physical problems. Because of its holistic approach, Chinese medicine is brilliant at treating these problems.

Patti is simply amazing. I first went to see her after struggling with morning sickness in 2020. I had tried every medication going and nothing was working. Two sessions with Patti changed my pregnancy. The sickness drastically improved, I didn't need medication and I was able to function again! I saw Patti again in January 2023 following a bereavement. Again Patti helped me so much and taught me techniques which I still use. I am so grateful for Patti's help and appreciate the time she spent with me, making me feel comfortable and reassuring me. Thank you Patti!

Patti visited me when I was bed bound and presenting very complex and difficult severe M.E. symptoms. Patti was so kind and had such a breadth of knowledge and acupuncture skills which helped physically, mentally and emotionally to help me through the very worst of the M.E./Chronic Fatigue and was an important part of my recovery. As a result of my experience I would say that Patti's work would be helpful with Long-Covid.

I first came to Patti in July suffering from a variety of complex symptoms including long term pins and needles, numbness, and nerve pain in both arms and legs. After a year of working with a GP my symptoms had worsened and I’d all but lost hope. Patti immediately made me feel comfortable, at ease, and genuinely took the time to try to better understand my symptoms, experiences, and medical history. Over the course of 8 months my symptoms have continued to improve and I’ve now been completely pain free for 2 months. During my treatment with Patti she has also supported me through Covid and an emergency surgery (and offered advice to share with my sister during her pregnancy). I cannot recommend her enough!

Patti is amazing! I cannot recommend her highly enough. I went to her with numerous problems but mainly for my skin condition. I suffer with nodular prurigo which is extremely itchy and uncomfortable. I saw such a vast improvement from my first session which I think speaks for itself!Patti is such a warm, welcoming lady that I felt at ease from our first appointment. She not only has treated my skin but also my back and shoulder pain, headaches, thermoregulation and anxiety all of which has made my life so much more comfortable.I honestly can't thank her enough and if you contemplating getting Acupuncture then Patti is definitely the lady you should get in touch with!

I have been seeing Patti for acupuncture to help reduce anxiety and manage hormones. I sent a short email to Patti with a bit of background and what I had been experiencing, and heard back from her very quickly. She put me at ease on our call & was very generous with her time & guidance prior to the first appointment, making me feel very comfortable & supported from the start.Ive had lots of accupuncture in the past with various practitioners, mostly for physical pain, so I'm quite familiar with what a treatment involves in general terms but every practitioner has a different approach. Patti spent time getting to know my experiences and lifestyle, making a kind of map of my energy - & was able to very quickly shift some of the excess. I felt better almost immediately with no extreme reaction. I felt very relaxed when the needles were in, and its very difficult for me to relax! She has a wonderful gentle manor and wealth of knowledge, as well as intuitively picking up things about me that I hadn't shared but were spot on. Its not often that you feel so seen" so quickly by a practitioner. The environment of Patis practice is beautiful and calming which adds to the experience. I would highly recommend."

In January, I had Bell’s palsy and doctors in RD&E hospital told me that they had nothing for my face melting down. I was devastated.I came this place with last hope. With deep knowledge of acupuncture and kindness, Patricia not only treated my Bell’ palsy but helped me maintain my overall health. After 3 months, I can smile and have a big bite of burger again. Moreover no one notices that I had Bell’ palsy before.If you have Bell’s palsy or any problem with your health, please do not hesitate to knock on her door.
