Providing patients with long-term health solutions is essential. We don’t want you to spend your life taking painkillers or on someone’s treatment table.

Professor K. RadnerAfter suffering from a very painful C-section scar which didn’t improve over the course of 19 months and caused me pain permanently, I had five acupuncture treatments with Helen. The pain lessened significantly after the first treatment but amazingly, the appearance of the scar (very red, very uneven) also improved dramatically. It is now completely pain free and smooth. Thank you Helen!
