What Our Patients Say!
Ciara Kilpatrick
I started my acupuncture journey with Siobhan back in July 2024. As I was preparing for another round of IVF, it was recommended by a friend so I said I would give it a try. It was one of the best decisions I made especially in the lead up to and on transfer day. I had weekly sessions up to the birth of my baby girl which helped hugely with my anxiety & stress. I’ve also had some sessions after.
Siobhan was so kind, caring & extremely supportive during my time with her. I’ve no doubt I will be back again in the future.
5* review from me. Highly recommended.
Jane Williams
I’ve been going for acupuncture with Siobhan for the past two years, and I can honestly say she’ been a huge support in my life. Her knowledge, experience, and compassionate approach have helped me in more ways than I can count. One of the things I really appreciate is her painless acupuncture approach it’s incredibly effective and has made a big difference for me.
I truly cannot thank her enough and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.
Rosin Ryan
Having attended Siobhan for a number of years previously and having had my first babies while under her care, I have restarted Acupuncture with her again recently.
Siobhan is a knowledgeable, effective and kind acupuncturist. She listens and addresses concerns and has helped to relieve pregnancy nausea amongst other symptoms I have attended for.
Her sessions focus on my well-being in her lovely, relaxing & comfortable clinic and I have always left feeling the benefits.
I would highly recommend Life Blossom Acupuncture Clinic.

Magarelli et al. in 2009 reported similar findings, noting that acupuncture was beneficial in the regulation of cortisol and prolactin during the medication phase of the IVF treatment.
