Aelish Anderson Acupuncture - Melton Mowbray

Aelish was recommended to me shortly after my Fathers passing. As we began to unpack grief related symptoms, a lot of unprocessed trauma also surfaced. This felt really scary to dive into, to begin with, yet I remained curious as to how Acupuncture may support me.

With each session, I began to build a trusting relationship with Aelish and I felt I could be more open and honest, with each visit.

I have been seeing Aelish for several months now, although I still have a long way to go, I can feel my nervous system relaxing a little more. I have also noticed a reduction in seasonal allergy related symptoms, improvements with sleep and the benefits of making some dietary/nutritional changes.

I would not hesitate to recommend Aelish to others. She has a true gift in how she helps and supports her clients.

I started taking my daughter for treatment with Aelish in October 2024. Charlotte does not yet have a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder but has massive struggles with Sensory issues, high levels of anxiety and emotional dysregulation. After spending months of watching Charlotte in unbearable distress at the toilet (due to her sensory difficulties) and receiving no medical help due to such long waiting lists we were prepared to try anything. Aelish was recommended by a friend and her treatments have already made such a difference to Charlotte and the whole family. Aelish has spent a lot of time listening to and understanding Charlotte's difficulties in order to work out the best way of treating her. As a result her toilet issues are not resolved but are much improved, and she no longer sits screaming in distress! At times we are also starting to see some improvement in other areas such as sleep and better regulating emotions.

Aelish's calm approach has made Charlotte feel very comfortable to the point where she now looks forward to going and chats constantly throughout the appointment. Charlotte has expressed right from the start that she is not happy for needles to be used during treatment. Aelish has therefore worked with her and used other methods of treatment, always checking with Charlotte first that she is happy and gives consent. This has helped build Charlotte's trust and maybe one day she'll let you use a needle Aelish!
Thank you 😊

I found Aelish during a season of burnout last year, my number one concern being that my immune system was nonexistent from suffering through months of continued illness. The GPs only answer was a never ending prescription of antibiotics. I felt so desperate for someone to listen and help me holistically, which is exactly what Aelish has done. Slowly my health returned and I'm relieved to have not been ill once since I began treatment. But the benefits I've experienced from Classical 5 Element Acupuncture with Aelish have been immeasurable; my energy levels through the day are consistent, I'm sleeping better, she is constantly helping my cycles and reducing symptoms of PCOS, my mental health and anxiety are improved, and I know there are other things I'm forgetting to mention now too. I have felt so supported and cared for in clinic with Aelish, and I'm so appreciative of her inside out approach.

Aelish really is wonderful. She treats the whole body and works through all your issues methodically, offers sound advice and really puts you at ease. Every session with Aelish is just a great opportunity to refocus and rejuvenate. I’m very grateful I found her.

I started having acupuncture about 18 months ago after struggling with anxiety and insomnia due to issues at work. I had previously been on anxiety medication after suffering post-natally with my first born. This is something I wanted to avoid taking again and therefore I sought help from Aelish. Acupuncture has helped me rebalance and level out my anxiety. My sleep issues have also resolved. I feel I understand my body more and recognise when I am need of a treatment.

Aelish’s knowledge is excellent and she has supported me with my young family. She has showed me several routines to help my daughter with separation anxiety from starting pre-school and helped clear a respiratory virus which had been lingering for a number of weeks.

Aelish also helped me with conceiving my youngest daughter. It took me 3 years to conceive my first and I fell pregnant in the same month I mentioned to Aelish that we were trying and her doing a treatment to compliment conception. Aelish supported me throughout my pregnancy and acupuncture assisted with issues such as fatigue and morning sickness.

Aelish has gone on to provide me with support for my newborn baby who has suffered badly with colic and constipation. Aelish showed me a tui na routine. My baby now passes stools daily and is a lot more settled. Initially she was uncomfortable when I completed the routine but she now enjoys it and even passes wind as I do it.

I fully trust Aelish with myself and my two young daughters and cannot recommend her enough.

I’ve been receiving acupuncture now for approx 18 months. Initially as an attempt to try something new to remove a long-term nagging and sometimes excruciating sciatic pain. The first few treatments definitely improved things, and I haven’t had any back issues for well over a year now. I continue to receive acupuncture because of the all-round general health and well-being benefits it brings. The warm, friendly, professional, and detailed approach of Aelish means sessions always feel beneficial. She also shares her knowledge of the holistic nature of acupuncture generously, which has helped me to recognise mental and physical signs of fatigue or imbalance in myself, meaning I’m better placed to manage my own well-being between treatments. Highly recommended.

I began treatment with Aelish in January 2023, following a miscarriage and was having irregular cycles. Aelish was able to advise on things I could do at home to increase my changes of conceiving, from diet, vitamins and exercises.
By May 2023, we found out that we were pregnant. Aelish’s knowledge is amazing and she is kind and compassionate.
Aelish not only treated me for fertility but supported me with other ailments such as eczema, asthma and hayfever. Her holistic approach taught me lots about myself and my health and has helped me in all aspects of my life.
Aelish treated me throughout my pregnancy and has since treated my newborn son for colic.She has been amazing, giving us exercises to help our son at home.
I highly recommend Aelish!

Aelish has transformed my health and wellbeing over the last year that I've been seeing her regularly, and our appointments have become very special time. I came to her suffering from severe allergies, and a year on I'm not even experiencing hay fever symptoms, for the first time in over a decade. Of course my allergies are only part of a bigger picture, and I love how acupuncture encompasses the whole person, body and mind, and no condition is ever treated in isolation. It's been a glorious exploration of Chinese medicine and of myself, with an insightful and accomplished guide in Aelish. Long may our journey together continue!
