| Sally was recommended
to me by a friend as myself and my husband had
previously had a failed IVF treatment and also
3 IUI failed treatments. My initial reason to
try acupuncture was to prepare myself for the
next IVF treatment and to help me relax. I had
3 or 4 one hour sessions with Sally and I fell
pregnant naturally after the first month. I have
since recommended Sally to a few friends and work
colleagues.
Tom & Alison Pattison-Turner |
| I was about to give
up and was pretty depressed. Now I'm sixteen weeks
pregnant and telling everyone I know about this
wonderful miracle worker. Sally's holistic approach
is both helpful and reassuring especially when
you’re terrified of doing something wrong.
She's available, kind and genuine, a rare person
with a great talent for making dreams come true.
Tamara Cottrill |
| Sally truly is a wonderful
lady with a miracle touch. The first time I met
Sally she put me at ease straight away. She is
so easy to talk to and down to earth, and so professional
but also approachable. I have been having acupuncture
to regulate my hormones and alongside IVF. Throughout
all my treatment Sally has been a rock to me.
I truly believe without Sally’s expertise,
knowledge for acupuncture and support I would
not be the proud mummy to a perfect baby boy.
Sally will be a friend for life; she has made
our dream come true."
Michelle S |
| I’ve been having
regular treatments with Lissaman Acupuncture for
some months. I became a patient because I had
had a virus which had left me with severe headaches
and post viral fatigue. I was very low and could
not seem to shake off the headaches and lethargy.
Sally was entirely realistic which I really liked-
no promise of a quick fix. Most importantly Sally
recognises the inner tensions which affect what
happens to our bodies. After a few sessions I
began to feel much lighter and my energy levels
started to return. I still get sporadic headaches-
as Sally says, ‘no quick fix’- but
they are much less intense and cope without medication.
Overall there is no comparison with how I felt
a few months ago.
The treatments are wonderful. Sally is very warm,
understanding, non judgemental and fun. I return
regularly for maintenance and I can’t imagine
a time when I won’t!
AT |
| I had been trying for
a baby for six years and was about to go through
my fifth IVF cycle when I read in a newspaper
about Sally’s success with infertile women.
I had tried acupuncture before without success
and I found the needles painful, but I decided
that I was prepared to give it another try. Sally
was amazing: she was so down-to-earth and friendly
that I couldn’t wait to have my acupuncture
sessions, and her needling technique actually
tickled rather than hurt. Most importantly, I
had only been treated by Sally for six weeks when
I found out that my IVF had been successful and
I was pregnant! I carried on with treatment all
through my pregnancy and labour. Sally was a great
support and a mine of information. Thanks in part
to Sally I am now the proud mum of a beautiful
baby boy. I can’t recommend her enough.
CS |
| Sally is my monthly
tonic! She listens to both my physical and mental
woes, interprets things really well and treats
accordingly. Although I feel a bit sluggish the
evening of my treatment, I'm a new woman the next
day and feel like I can take on the world.
AC |
| 'Sally always takes
the time to listen to me at the beginning of each
session building up a record of physical and mental
symptoms, for me this has meant an individually
tailored treatment programme to an extent that
I haven't experienced elsewhere. This conscientious
approach coupled with her warm personality means
visits are always something to look forward to.'
LB |
| "I first visited
Sally for some craniosacral therapy for my newborn
after a difficult birth. Since then every member
of the immediate family, and a few not so immediate,
have had some treatment! I have also made recommendations
to people I have met through my work. My oldest
son now asks me if he can go to see Sally whenever
he feels even slightly under the weather."
CB |
| I had regular acupuncture
with Sally before and during my fifth and only
successful IVF attempt. The treatment was relaxing
and almost totally painless. This had been a worry
for me, as a needle phobic!
Sally made the sessions more of a social outing
than a treatment! Sessions were always relaxed
and informal. I laughed my way through most visits!!
Sally is a wonderful, kind practitioner. She always
makes time to fit her clients in wherever possible.
She has a genuine interest in each of her clients
and is extremely caring and considerate, at what
is often a very trying and stressful time. I would
recommend her to anyone.
Proud mum of a beautiful baby boy.
Donna Harrison |
| I am so grateful for
all of the support I received during my fertility
treatment. After years of trying we have a beautiful
son who has changed our lives for ever. Acupuncture
gave me a space to be calm and pause and think
about what was important to me. Sally always listens
hard and remembers. She has helped immeasurably
AT |
| I have been having
acupuncture with Sally for the last three years
for a long standing neck and shoulder complaint.
This enables me to enjoy a mostly pain free life,
I have complete faith in Sally's ability and I
always leave the treatment room with a smile on
my face.
AE |
| 'Sally is a lovely
lady. She makes you feel that very at ease and
is always there to lend an ear whatever the problem.
I wouldn't miss my monthly appointment for the
world. I can go into the appointment feeling fed
up, but always leave with a smile on my face,
even after the needles and I never thought I would
say that! I always feel so much better after my
appointment and sleep like a baby......roll on
my next appointment'
Helen |
| Facing the prospect
of IVF and willing to open our minds to alternative
treatments we turned to acupuncture - despite
being terrified of the thought of having needles
placed in my toes, ears and just about anywhere
else it took just a conversation with Sally to
realise that perhaps things weren't going to be
as bad as I had imagined. The road that takes
us on our fertility journey has many bumps along
the way and it is with much fondness that we thank
Sally for always being there to guide us and support
us along the way. We are now blessed with a beautiful
baby daughter.
Mr & Mrs H. |
| Sally has helped me
in so many ways during the year that I have known
her. She is an expert in her field, particularly
in fertility but she is also a great support and
goes out of her way to make you feel relaxed and
happy during and also in between appointments.
No question is unimportant and no favour to big
to ask of her. She is a lovely person and you
will feel instantly at ease as soon as you meet
her. I promise you, you will be booking your next
appointment before you walk out of the door at
the end of your session
SG |
| ‘Coming to Sally
to get acupuncture treatment has been one of the
best things I have done in my life, now I am 5
months pregnant and really happy and excited,
it is not just the treatment that is relaxing
and fruitful, Sally is like this friend who can
read your mind and understands your feeling and
emotions and be there for you always. I am so
glad I went to her and I am sure many other people
will agree with me on this.’
SG |
| After trying to conceive
for over 2 years, I got pregnant pretty much straight
away once I started acupuncture with Sally. I
believe the treatment she gave me helped to maintain
the pregnancy and keep me healthy throughout.
During the second trimester I suffered dreadful
migraines and these only stopped when I started
weekly visits to Sally. She is a fantastic practitioner
in acupuncture who has extensive knowledge of
fertility problems. She is also a lovely person,
who helped to calm me when I had worries and celebrated
with us the arrival of my beautiful son Flynn
on 2nd January, 2007. I will definitely be going
back when we want another baby! Thank you Sally!

| Sally Lissaman –
Truly amazing!!
We read an article in a women’s magazine
about acupuncture treatment for fertility and
then from an online directory contacted Sally.
Prior to the first consultation and treatment
we were a little apprehensive and sceptical about
acupuncture. All apprehension and scepticism were
quickly dispelled, in that the pins are so fine
you don’t notice their insertion and acupuncture
really did take effect from the onset of treatment.
My husband had a number of treatments to make
sure his little swimmers were in good order. He
was fully supportive however a little sceptical
at first as to the effectiveness of acupuncture,
I’ll never forget the moment when he commented
on the feeling of energy flowing up his leg. My
husband, bless him is now a big advocate of acupuncture
and has recommended it to many people.
Acupuncture corrected my hormone levels for conception,
sorted my husband’s sperm out and critically
maintained the environment for the development
of the embryo into a foetus then finally our baby.
Sally is really the full package, with an immense
knowledge of fertility treatment and assisted
conception, a true professional, a confidante
that gave 110% to the cause. Sally’s knowledge
has enabled us to verify and co-ordinate the treatments
that we received throughout the 6 years of assisted
conception from the medical sector, this is pretty
fundamental to success.
Fertility treatment is a rollercoaster of emotions
so we can fully empathise with patients and their
partners whom are undergoing treatment, Sally
has been a rock throughout and gave us the courage
and determination through her support to succeed
.
We are now the proudest parents in the world
and we now have a truly beautiful little daughter.
Sally you are amazing, Thank you so much !!

After several failed cycles
whilst trying for my second child I turned to acupuncture
and more importantly Sally. By this time I had been
told that after so many failed attempts my chances
of getting pregnant were 15% per cycle at best.
I genuinely believe that treatment with Sally strengthened
my ability to cope both emotionally and physically.
Thanks to this I am one of the lucky ones…
I am now 26 weeks pregnant!!”

I have now had a baby girl
and this is due to the fact that I was having acupuncture
with Sally Lissaman and listened to her advise on
what I should and shouldn't do - she was me life
savour while I was pregnant. I previously had 4
miscarriages and my problem was not conceiving but
keeping it and now I can keep my little one for
ever. Even if you hate needles it is worth going
to see Sally because in the scheme of things it
is nothing and she is the greatest listener and
I can now call her a friend.
Em L |
| At a very low point in my
life nearly 10 years ago, I met Sally.
I was at rock bottom and feeling very desperate
and completely trapped. I had been through several
very bad relationships, had been involved with
drugs and my depression was so bad that I’d
had suicidal feelings. Through acupuncture treatment,
Sally’s kindness and friendship I have managed
to rebuild my life.
I am now in a very healthy, happy relationship
and have a 3 year son. I am also stepmum to my
partners 3 older children. If you had known me
years ago, none of these things would have been
believable! I can’t thank Sally enough for
her support, her caring and understanding and
of course her practice of acupuncture, without
which I wouldn’t be where I am today. Over
the years we have built a close friendship and
she has me helped through all the changes in my
life, both happy and sad.
In case I have never said this ‘properly’
– THANK YOU Sally, I wouldn’t be here
today without you.
I would highly recommend acupuncture treatment
to anyone.
Jill |
| If someone asked me 10 months
ago whether I would recommend acupuncture, I'd of
said "NO" as I never believed it could
work. Well here I am 10 months later & can safely
say that if it wasn't for acupuncture or Sally,
I'm not sure where I'd be! It's hard when the one
thing you want more than anything in life, is so
difficult! But Sally has made all those bad times
more bearable and I know that with her help I will
get the family I crave.
You're the nicest person I know Sally and have
helped me so much & I class you as a great
friend & someone I can confide in! So for
all those cynics out there just give acupuncture
a try and I promise you won't look back.
Paula Harvey |
| We have been struggling
for several years with infertility (without Sally's
help) and were getting to the stage of not knowing
what to do next and feeling very negative. We
were introduced to Sally recently by a close friend
and since meeting her, our attitude has completely
changed. She has supported us through lots of
different emotions and helped us to still feel
positive in continuing our journey of becoming
parents, also advising us of other options we
have which we would never have known about. I
do not know what we would have done with out Sally's
support. Thank you Sally for all your time and
help throughout the last few months we really
do appreciate it.
K & C |
| I have been having treatment
from Sally for a few months now. I actually feel
like I know more about my body, myself and fertility
than I ever have done. I have certainly learnt
more from Sally than I have from any other source
including the fertility experts at the hospital.
Sally has time for you whenever and wherever!
She treats everyone as individuals and that means
a great deal to me. I have complete faith in her
and the treatment and so do many others. Sally
advises you on the questions you need answers
for- which I'd have never have known.
The acupuncture doesn't hurt (in fact I forget
the needles are there and sometimes knock them
out!)
Visiting Sally is more than just acupuncture and
you'll realise this after your first visit. It's
the best thing I've ever done medically- I now
feel very positive and it's only a matter of time
before I'm expecting.
Clair |
| I have been visiting Sally
for over 12th months for either Acupuncture or Reiki.
She has helped me conceive, to deal with anxieties
and to overcome many challenging situations. I am
confident that her treatments continue to contribute
to my wellbeing and I regular refer many of my contacts
to her, all of whom have shared the same positive
experiences.
Sally is a close confident of mine and she will
someone who will be in my life for a long time
to come. Her relaxed approach and friendly nature
means that she can also offer solution that you
won’t find elsewhere

I approached acupuncture
with a little scepticism but can honestly say this
was completely unfounded. Not only did the treatment
help me become more aware of my body and that there
were reasons for certain feelings, but Sally became
a friend, not just someone I went to for treatment.
Sally certainly knows her stuff and makes the sessions
fun and relaxing. Even after a successful pregnancy
I continued with my treatment, as something for
my general wellbeing, not just for getting pregnant.
I cannot recommend Sally highly enough, and have
sung her praises on many occasions. The best phone
call I ever made!

Sally has literally changed
my life. Not only are her diagnoses and treatments
accurate every time, proving she is an extremely
accomplished and professional acupuncturist, but
she is also easy to talk to and confide in, making
her sessions both thorough and fun. She has helped
me through the aches and pains of fertility treatment,
conception and pregnancy, not to mention all the
other issues surrounding normal family life. I regularly
recommend Sally's services to friends; she is a
blessing.
AH |
Sally Lissaman has treated
my whole family for anything from a cricked neck,
tennis elbow, blocked ears, carpal tunnel to a frozen
shoulder (plus lots more!!!). You couldn't ask for
a friendlier or more knowledgeable practitioner!
Sally goes above and beyond just treating the problem.
I would highly recommend a visit.
PK |
I couldn't do this journey
without Sally. She has been my strength when I have
been at an all time low. Sally helps me to keep
positive and gives me hope that I will get the result
that I want. She is there in the capacity to advise,
and more importantly as a friend who genuinely cares
what happens. I really don't think that I would
ever find anyone else quite like her, and know that
whatever the outcome, she will be there for me no
matter what.
Esther Pemble |
I was fortunate enough to
be introduced to Sally via a friend. This friend
had been celebrating the positive impact acupuncture
had had on her life. She had recently become pregnant
after 7 years of trying.
I received treatment
initially to overcome the grief I was suffering
following a number of miscarriages. Prior to meeting
Sally, I unfortunately lost a baby, when I was
22 weeks pregnant. The medical profession were
unable to give me the support I required at this
time either through information about possible
causes or to deal with the immense emotions I
was experiencing.
From the moment I began my treatment with Sally
I felt at ease and able to talk openly for the
first time with somebody who had real empathy,
compassion and knowledge. I have a fantastic relationship
with Sally. She is an incredibly gifted practitioner,
who has a true understanding of the people she
works with. I would have no reservation in recommending
all aspects of her service to anybody who required
them. Sally is caring, considerate and always
gives her patients 100%. The acupuncture treatments
I have received from Sally have had a major impact
on my life. As a result I now have a gorgeous
healthy 2 year old daughter and am 19 weeks pregnant.
Thank you Sally for the support and kindness you
have given me.

When Sally first started
treating me (4 years ago) I wasn't in a particularly
great place. I had lots of little things on my mind
that were niggling at me, which I knew were affecting
me physically. I was also putting myself under a
lot of pressure about taking the step into motherhood
(due to the biological clock!!) and kept panicking
about it. Sally came to my rescue!! At the beginning
I saw Sally on a regular basis for the first couple
of years and together we dealt with everything that
the treatment picked up. It was lovely to be able
to talk to someone who I had built up a trust with
and made such a difference to me.
Sally also treated me before, during my pregnancy
and after my daughter arrived, she was so supportive.
If I ever need treatment, I know that I can pick
up the phone and book an appointment and we just
pick up where we were last time!! You're the best
Sally! xx |
| I have been having acupuncture
treatment from Sally for quite a few years now and
cannot praise her highly enough. She is one of those
few people that you rarely have the privilege to
meet, let alone become friends with. She is totally
honest and very kind and genuinely wants to help
everyone. She goes out of her way and does far more
than she needs to, but that is her nature.
The treatments I have received from her over
the years have made my life much more enjoyable
than it would have been and although she is excellent
at what she does, the chats and her fantastic
sense of humour have certainly helped too. Thank
you Sally. Love from Carol Malin. |
Sally's business card
was given to me by one of the staff at the hospital
where I was receiving fertility treatment - my
fiancé and I had being trying for years to start
our much wanted family without any luck and had
now started on an IVF cycle. I had no previous
experience or knowledge of acupuncture, but wanted
to try everything that would give us an extra
chance of success. So I went along for my initial
consultation without any pre-conceptions thinking
that even if it made me more relaxed through treatment
that would tip the balance in our favour.
Sally as a professional, dedicated and highly
talented acupuncturist has given me so much more
than I ever anticipated as a complete holistic
practitioner. The acupuncture that Sally has administered
to me has prepared for and supported my body physically
through nightmare drug regimes. In addition, to
this to have someone so knowledgeable, experienced
and caring within the fertility world to support
you emotionally through this very tough path is
invaluable.
I am now the very proud mum-to-be of twins and
my now husband and I thank Sally from the bottom
of our hearts for helping us make our biggest
dream become a reality.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Sally,
acupuncture is a vocation for her and she knows
her subject area so well, the wall of baby pictures
given to her by her patients in her study is testament
to her unrivalled success and track record.
