the kind things my clients say 〰️

  • Deborah at the Chi Flow Clinic has been amazing with my recovery of tennis elbow and nerve damage in my arms. She is so informative and walks me through the steps of how acupuncture helps with healing the body and mind. With passion and warmth she offers in her clinic I would recommend her to anybody.

    Mark Bott

  • Having never had acupuncture before, I decided to give it a go on a sports injury with my back and shoulders. Following the session with Deborah, my back and shoulder have improved markedly, with a range of motion not achieved in years! Highly recommended!

    Jeremy Taylor

  • Deborah is wonderful and my weekly treatments at The Chi Flow have been enlightening, validating and relaxing. I would highly recommend acupuncture/ TCM to all looking to do something for themselves.
