    I have been seeing Dom for a couple of months now, initially for help with migraines, and am already noticing some improvements. The initial, free telephone consultation was really helpful as I was able to give some information about the issues I was experiencing but also enabled me to ask questions which made the first session more relaxed. Dom actively and empathetically listened to my history and I quickly felt confident about the treatment. I find the acupuncture itself very relaxing and Dom always lets me know what each treatment will involve. I would highly recommend.

    I have been to Dom for 3 sessions now, and I can speak very highly of the outcome! I decided to try acupuncture for general anxiety, and I have found it very nurturing, and it has definitely made me feel much more grounded. I was and still feel a little anxious about acupuncture itself, but I left my third session wanting more and not wanting it to end, as the effects were so great.
    Dom explains everything very thoroughly, he always asks how you are before and after a session, and has a very calm, warm presence. I would 100% recommend Dom!

    I saw Dom following a diagnosis of a slipped lumbar disc with nerve impingement on both sides and in severe pain. I had very limited mobility and was on a large amount of pain relief including opiates.
    I am a relative sceptic when it comes to alternative therapies and treatments but wanted to explore all avenues before resorting to a surgical solution. Two months on, my recovery is far more advanced than I could have hoped for. Having had a similar injury several years ago I have a good comparison.
    Dom pays sensitive attention to your needs and works carefully with your pain threshold to adapt the treatment as you progress.The electroacupuncture treatment especially produced quite dramatic results and on several occasions took me from really uncomfortable prior to the session, to no pain at all by the evening of the treatment.
    He is confident using more invasive treatments (i.e. needles in more deeply etc) but does so carefully, checking in constantly on how you feel and creating a sense of ease which makes you feel like you are in the driving seat of the treatment which he has clearly planned with precision.
    Dom's clinic is comfortable and feels professional yet very welcoming. He has a good sense of humour and is good at explaining what he is doing which puts you at ease. I was quite nervous initially about both the level of pain to expect and side effects but now look forward to the sessions and still benefit. I would definitely recommend Dom for anyone with a similar injury who wants to explore a more health conscious recovery route without pain killers or surgery.

    I attended Flourish Acupuncture as I had TM joint and neck pain. The treatment Dom has given has really alleviated the discomfort I felt and I now have a regular maintenance treatment which I find very relaxing and beneficial.

    I went to Dom to help fix my alopecia and anxiety. Within the space of a few weeks and only so many sessions I can already see the improvement! My hair has started to grow back and my mood has improved massively! Dom is very professional, kind and I can’t thank him enough for his services!

    I can't sing the praises enough for Dom and his acupuncture practise. Very quickly Dom has become a key part of my health and fitness routine, and is really helping me with some knee issues. However there is so much more to this than just the physical side, Dom takes time to listen, and focus on whole body and mind improvement, his calm and relaxed approach is perfect. If you have any doubts please contact Dom and give it a go, it will really enhance your well being.

    We sought out acupuncture for our 10-year-old's severe stomach pain and vertigo. Dom was so kind and friendly and instantly put us at ease. He spent lots of time explaining to our son how it worked and what he was going to do. In the end our son found it quite an adventure and was very relaxed and brave. He came out of both sessions with reduced pain and feeling much more energised and positive. He also said how much he liked Dom and was happy at the prospect of seeing him again.

    I have suffered with pain in my lower back for over a year and it had gradually been getting worse and started to affect my life. I'd been to the Physio and Osteopath and felt like I'd tried it all. My initial consultation appointment was thorough and I felt like Dom really listened to me.
    I have no idea how acupuncture works, it's a complete mystery to me and at first it all seemed a bit strange and unfamiliar. But after 3 sessions I started feeling so much better. The aching pain has dramatically improved but more than that, I'm feeling so much happier and more positive. I'm sleeping really well, feeling clearer mentally and I have energy again.
    Dom has really helped me and I would highly recommend him. He is gentle, calm and kind and if your experience is anything like mine you will soon feel the benefits and start falling asleep in sessions!

    Highly recommend - Dom is considerate and caring in his approach and immediately puts you at ease. Also generous with his time and explains all. I’ve found that in addition to my primary issue, which always immediately feels better, benefits have a tendency to ‘spill over’ in to the rest of my life - so that I’m able to cope more readily in stressful situations without feeling drained. My energy reserves feel replenished each time to a higher level - which must lead to greater healing
  • Avatar CLAIRE SMITH ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I first went to Flourish Acupuncture due to my stress levels a couple of months ago. Having tried counselling, excercising, changing my diet etc. which were keeping my stress at bay for most of the time, I started having problems sleeping, pains down my side and a lump in my throat that I couldn't shift. After trying acupuncture for the first time, I could feel the effects within a few sessions, sleeping better, not being as anxious, and generally feeling calmer. Dom is excellent and explains everything as we go along, and really puts you at ease. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and genuinely wants to help. My sessions are ongoing and I would highly recommend for any one who is not looking to go down the route of taking tablets for stress and anxiety.
  • Avatar simon Young ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Highly recommended.
    For over 6 months I have been suffering from tendonitis on my Achilles. Over the last few months the pain has increased and I have been limping badly with severe discomfort when walking.
    I tried physiotherapy, ultrasound treatment and pain relief creams/gels - with no improvement.
    I was lucky enough to be introduced to Dom Walsh, who has really helped accelerate the healing process. Results have been achieved much faster than I had anticipated. After the first session I no longer felt any pain and following a second session a week later, the inflammation on my Achilles has reduced and I am no longer limping. Still no pain, even though whilst on a woodland dog walk, I stepped into a deep rabbit hole!
    Many Thanks Dom

    I’ve always been open to trying alternative medicine before reaching for pain killers and acupuncture is something I’ve been interested in trying for a number of reasons. The main ones being: The symptoms which come with the start of the menopause and my painful knees, which I’ve suffered from for sometime now.
    Dom was extremely thorough during my first consultation and I was made to feel very at ease. The treatment room is warm, light, calm and airy which helps to relax you.
    After my first treatment my knee pain had significantly decreased and I felt uplifted, less foggy and more energised.
    I’ve had 3 full treatments now and the discomfort in my knees has almost gone, just one plays up occasionally. My mood is so much better, I’ve no joint aches and brain fog which comes with the menopause, my energy levels have significantly increased and I’m sleeping so much better. I was surprised at how quickly it worked, I felt these changes almost instantly.
    I will be continuing to have acupuncture at Flourish as a preventative and therapeutic treatment. When you find something works for you it’s worth maintaining it.
    I’d highly recommend visiting Dom at Flourish Acupuncture. Be open minded to alternative medicine as it’s certainly made a big difference to my well-being.

    I went to see Dom specifically for an injury to my shoulder, in collaboration with hospital treatment, but also to help in general with my health and well-being. The atmosphere is always very relaxed as well as being very professional and Dom is always happy to discuss what we are doing during the session and answer any questions. I have had lots of benefits from the sessions as well as helping with my original injury. I would wholeheartedly recommend talking to Dom if you are thinking of acupuncture.

I have been having Accupunture with Dom for a few months now for night sweats, brain fog and headaches. Within a few sessions my brain fog was significantly reduced to almost none and the same now for the night sweats. If I ever arrive with a headache by the end of the session it will have gone. He is now helping me with my IBS symptoms and I’m sure this will also be a great success. I can’t recommend Dom enough!
