I have polycystic ovary syndrome, which has always given me problems with irregular periods and mood changes. The acupuncture treatment provided here helped regulate these symptoms visibly: my periods finally were regular and my mood changes were under control. Dr. Zou always provided tailored treatment to my circumstances (where was I in the cycle, body temperature or anything else I might have been experiencing at the time). I sincerely appreciate her help, knowledge and professionalism. Istead of focussing on a series of symptoms, Dr. Zou provided an integrated and tailored treatment approach focussing on the root of the problem and offered advice for my day to day. Her expertise helped me regulate my periods and, with that, I also felt more in control of my day to day for the first time. Thank you.

I have benefitted from Dian's treatment physically and mentally for many years and, as 'an older person' she keeps me fit and active. She is also a kind and caring person.

I sought help for unexplained infertility, and Dr Zou asked me to give her three menstrual cycles. It was either this, or starting medical treatment. Sure enough, I am writing this with a 4 month pregnant belly! She was professional, kind but, most of all, she held me accountable for making sure I was listening to what my body needed. She told me about my body type and what it can and can't handle and gave me advice on what to do outside of acupuncture to further my progress. Within just a cycle or two my fertile signs had dramatically improved already. Thank you so much!! Can't wait to meet my baby!!

I broke my wrist just after Christmas. I had surgery and excellent treatment from the NHS. I did all prescribed exercises but did not regain full feeling in my fingers. My doctor told me that I may have severed a nerve and there was nothing that could be done. I am a strong, fit, active 76 year old grandmother who can touch type and loves to sew, craft and cook. A friend recommended Daian. Thank goodness I took her advice and had a course of treatment. I now have full feeling and strength back. It’s hard to believe the fracture ever happened. She is an excellent practitioner and a charming, intelligent, sympathetic person. I have had acupuncture in the past and greatly appreciate her skill.

I first received acupuncture when on a cruise last autumn and my back went causing great pain. I was surprised at how effective it was. On a recent trip to see my sister in Shropshire the pain returned and I saw Dr Zou several times. She was excellent and the pain reduced considerably. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Zou. She was really caring and knowledgeable and imparted her knowledge to both my sister and myself. It was so helpful and we are following her advice. I have booked to see her again when up in Shrewsbury again.

I went to see Daian a few months ago due to health problems caused by recent bereavement. I was suffering from anxiety and insomnia not responding very well to medication. I started seeing results after just a few acupuncture sessions and now I am anxiety free and able to sleep well without any medication. I found Daian to be a very experienced and knowledgeable practitioner, who takes the time to explain everything and to answer any questions I may have. She is friendly and kind and was very patient with me at times when I was very anxious. I feel she has given me my life back and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

  • ~ “amazing ” – Mrs Hambley – Shrewsbury

    "I began seeing a Chinese doctor, who was amazing, she worked in harmony with my medicated fertility cycles and would advise certain practices, food and habits at different points of the month, such as moxibustion, kidney warming, eating lots of sweet potato and having been vegan and then vegetarian I even followed her instructions to have plenty of bowls of chicken soup, I would also not go anywhere without my feet snuggled in a big pair of warm woolly socks, for the Chinese believe that by keeping the feet warm aids circulation, especially to the uterus and I would happily embrace the 45 minutes I did nothing except lie in a peaceful room, listening to relaxing music whilst I had acupuncture. Clinical research has found that receiving acupuncture alongside IVF treatment can increase pregnancy rates by 65%* and although this was still my goal, over the months of regular visits to Dr Zou I had also started to find that the grief that I had been carrying deep inside my stomach since the death of my brother started to lift and with it I had started to experience a new"
