Appreciation

I want to express my appreciation for your helpful treatment, Maeve. Not only are your massages marvellous, but you have such a good understanding of the position of carers. I hope you are able to continue to treat people with caring responsibilities.

Thank God for Maeve!

Maeve has been a Godsend to me over the years as I am allergic to many of the regular pain-relief remedies you would get from your GP. In fact after major back surgery Maeve visited me to give pain relief and get me through a very difficult time. I have also learnt some very useful relaxation techniques to help in times of stress on the Mindfulness courses she runs. I would, and do, recommend her to all my friends.

The last resort...

I came to acupuncture as a last resort for dealing with stress and exhaustion, and now wish I had tried it years ago. It is helping me enormously. I find that after a treatment I generally feel much the same, but as the day goes on I improve very rapidly indeed, so within a few hours I feel completely different. The change is so strong that there's no doubt in my mind it's coming from the acupuncture and massage that Maeve O'Donnell does, particularly as I'm still a skeptic at heart! This is a wonderful warm practitioner, and I know that talking through my problems during treatments is helping as much as the treatment itself.‎

Help for MS

I have suffered for many years from Multiple Schlerosis and have found Maeve's regular treatments invaluable for maintaining my energy levels and controlling the pain associated with the condition. Last year I suffered a mild heart attack and feel sure the treatments helped accelerate my recovery on my return home from hospital.

Somebody understands!

I was caring for my elderly mum and my husband, who had Parkinson's disease. Mum not at all mobile, and my husband only mobile with help. I was physically and mentally exhausted; the Carers Centre (Oxford) gave me six vouchers to use for some support. I chose acupuncture because I thought I didn't know anything about it and it might just be right for me. When I met Maeve the first thing she said to me was, 'what would you like me to do for you?'. I felt at last somebody understood how I was feeling and that she could help me. That was ?years ago - I can't remember how many! I have been able to feel physically and psychologically well and happy ever since our first consultation. Maeve has been my lifesaver and I look forward to each session with great pleasure.

Menopause

I have been seeing Maeve for a number of reasons, the most debilitating thing being my hot sweats due to the menopause. She treated me with acupuncture and massage for this and also taught me a technique to be able to cope with them as they arise, this has helped tremendously. Maeve you have this very calming and tranquil way with your patients, I would, and have recommended you to other people - never give up what you do.
