Tam is highly experienced and incredibly knowledgeable. Her warm and welcoming energy made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. It was my first acupuncture session, and I didn’t know what to expect, but she explained everything clearly and made the whole experience relaxing and reassuring. I felt I was in very safe hands and would highly recommend her to anyone considering acupuncture. I’ll definitely be back!

July 15, 2026I've been seeing Tam since February and can't recommend her highly enough. I originally came to her for relief from migraines, but from the first session it was clear she works holistically -we've since addressed sleep quality, stress, and muscle issues alongside the migraines.What sets Tam apart is how thorough she is. She took a full health history before my first treatment and checks in carefully at the start of every session. I've never had a health professional be so attentive to my history, not even my GP. She genuinely listens, and tailors each treatment to whatever is most pressing that day rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.She's incredibly knowledgeable and has a way of putting you completely at ease. We started weekly and have now moved to a monthly schedule timed around my migraine triggers, and those monthly sessions have become a non-negotiable part of my health routine.I always leave feeling better. If you're considering acupuncture, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

June 9, 2026I have seen Tam several times over the years usually for physical issues but even better of how calm I feel afterwards and the stress it releases. The first time I was a bit worried about the needles but Tams calm and soft approach made it so much better of an experience. I would definitely recommend her to everyone and you can see her passion and continues knowledge of diving deeper into it knowing I'm in good hands!

June 2, 2026I've have a series of sessions with Tam to help me with a chronic illness. As someone new to acupuncture, Tam made me comfortable and relaxed. She's holistic in her approach and takes the time to really understand my symptoms. She asks great questions before we start to target the treatment. I'd highly recommend Tam.
