Testimonials

“  I first went to see Sean Heneghan as I was both emotionally and physically at an all time low. I had constant pain following surgeries during 2009 and felt I would never be ok again. After 1 session with Sean Heneghan, the pain was gone, and I was able to stop taking prescription pain killers. Within myself I feel much better and  felt this relief after only a few sessions, I now feel completely balanced, this is entirely down to Sean and his wonderful way of listening carefully and understanding my needs with acupuncture.”
Annie Mullane, Milton Keynes, April 2010

” My daughter suggested I have some acupuncture as she thought it may help me. I made an appointment with Sean and have never looked back.
After the first appointment I felt as if something had been lifted off my shoulders. My health improved immensely over the following treatments and my stress levels are much better, I feel much more patient. I can thoroughly recommend a visit to see Sean, he is a very kind and caring person.
I am so pleased I picked up the phone and made the first appointment.”
Mrs W, Hemel Hempstead

” Over the years I have experienced a lot of discomfort and pain. I visit an Osteopath regularly and take classes in Pilates which keeps me functioning well. However, after a particularly stressful eighteen months with a family illness and other of life’s drama’s, I was feeling that I was getting worse and feeling continually uncomfortable. Often thinking about, but never having experienced it before, I decided to try acupuncture on the recommendation of a friend. I found Sean’s website very informative and the testimonials heartening, I felt confident to make contact and book an appointment.

“I would like to say how wonderfully helpful it has been for me to be treated by Sean Heneghan. I had never tried acupuncture before, though I was curious about it. After feeling completely ‘out of balance’ I emailed Sean to see if he thought acupuncture might help me. After the first session, I felt almost immediately better and have had the best period of good health in months.
I am continuing with the treatment and would encourage anyone with similar concerns to try it. Sean is very caring and he takes time to explain the principles and reasoning behind the discipline. I am very impressed – and have recommended a work colleague and my partner to see him already.”
Miss M, Berkhamsted

“I have tried other “alternative” practitioners, and still see a chiropractor, but had always avoided acupuncture, for that popular reason of fear of needles. But when Sean joined the clinic at Milton Keynes I decided to give him a try.
The first appointment was for 1½ hours, and for the first 45 minutes we discussed my complete medical history in a very relaxed way before any needles were produced. I can honestly say I never felt any of these ultra thin needles being inserted in several points of my arm and neck. There followed a brief period of total relaxation, where I almost dropped off to sleep before the needles were removed.
I have returned for several further appointments, and I am happy to say there has been a dramatic improvement and I am able to continue playing golf with hardly a twinge of discomfort.
Sean has a very relaxed style of treatment and has that all important quality of communication between him and his patient, so often lacking within the medical profession. I believe he has a lot to offer many people seeking relief from a wide range conditions, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.”
John Ponsford, Milton Keynes

“My partner had seen Sean for a while and recommended I go along too. During my first session Sean was patient with my nervousness and made me feel at ease. I was amazed to walk out of the first session feeling amazingly calm, de-stressed and happy. Each session has got easier and easier and the rewards you feel by far outweigh the temporary feeling of the needles.
I can honestly say since the first session my emotional well being has shown dramatic improvement. I had a flare up of knee pain which I have had for some years. I mentioned this to Sean and after treating my knees the pain had gone and I never had to take any anti-inflammatory drugs.
Sean has always been highly professional and caring and genuinely appears to want to help. I would highly recommend Sean as a therapist to treat a wide range of conditions, and for general health and well being.”
J, Hertfordshire

“I had experienced poor health for a while. After trying many different therapies with little improvement, I sought acupuncture as a last resort and have been amazed with the results.
The pain I had suffered for a decade disappeared instantaneously, I feel more and more deeply relaxed and feel better now than frankly I ever realized was possible! This has in turn, had a huge, positive impact on my energy levels and other aspects of my life.
Sean has a very calm manner and is clearly passionate and focused on helping his patients achieve good, long-term results – I would certainly recommend acupuncture with Sean Heneghan.”
Sarah, Luton

“Like so many others, my first visit to Sean was made when I was at the end of my tether.
From the first, Sean’s calming and genuinely caring manner made me feel at ease, and somehow secure that there would be improvement.  And improvement there most certainly has been.
I have  been having a rather stressful time, and Sean’s holistic approach to treatment has most definitely helped me and how I feel about what is happening to me.  I am extremely glad I made that first appointment, and would recommend Sean to all!”
Jan Aps, Berkhamsted

“During my first consultation with Sean it seemed that at last someone was listening to me properly. After several weeks of treatment I began to notice I felt much better in general. Now after further treatments there have been remarkable changes in my wellbeing in many different areas. I feel that I have rediscovered my sense of self and I feel more relaxed and positive. The severity of all my symptoms has diminished considerably – even other people have been impressed by the improvements.  I am very happy with the results so far and am continuing with treatment.
Sean is professional, dedicated and intuitive in his approach and I have no doubt that under his care, acupuncture has been a life changing experience for me.”
Mrs Susan Bell, Hertfordshire

” My mother is terminally ill and the sadness of this has been alleviated with Sean’s quiet, kind, straightforward help. I have received huge relief for a number of health conditions which had not been helped by many other professionals
Oh if only he was available on the NHS!. ”
Jane Hay, Berkhamsted

“I initially visited Sean for lots of different reasons.
After my first consultation, I was advised that 6 sessions would be beneficial.  Within 3 sessions, I began to see a difference and after the full 6, I found that that my whole well being was greatly improved.
As well as acupuncture, Sean also provided advice on my diet and lifestyle which has proved very helpful. I find acupuncture a very relaxing experience and under Sean’s care it was an immense benefit.”
Mrs. S, Berkhamsted

“Acupuncture is for me tremendously calming in times of stress. Most helpful is the boost to my general well-being.
Sean is a truly professional practitioner.”
Mrs. Jefferies, Buckinghamshire

“For years I have had different treatments, including massage, and osteopathy. I found that I obtained immediate, but short-lived relief but many symptoms  remained. I was tired of this pattern, and wanted lasting relief so I went for an assessment with Sean to see if Acupuncture could help me. Sean’s calm manner put me at ease, and despite my fear of needles, I have had several treatments now with wonderful results.
I feel so much brighter, more relaxed and more alive! I had grown used to waking up to that “ho hum” feeling of getting ready to battle another day, but I now look forward to enjoying my day. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about having acupuncture to schedule a visit with Sean.”
Mrs W, Berkhamsted

“Having suffered with a number of problems related to stress for many years I was at a pretty rock bottom stage when I contacted Sean.  I had picked up a card at my Beauty Therapists studio and having had acupuncture a few years ago which was very successful I thought I would give it another go.

Sean was kind, calming and very positive about the help that he could give me.  After 6 weeks I began to feel better with no symptoms to speak of, no pain, and a fabulous feeling of well being. I am certainly no longer depressed.  I am enjoying life again and have a very positive attitude.  I am now embarking on a maintenance programme with Sean along with an improved lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise so that I never drop back to rock bottom again.

I cannot thank Sean enough for his kindness, patience and the treatment he has given. I wish I had contacted him at a much earlier stage in my illness.  For anyone who is reading this testimonial with reservations about needles and the stigma of alternative therapy I can strongly recommend it.  The minor sensation of the needles is small compared to the massive benefits in well being I’ve received”.
