I was a new client and was given an appointment at very short notice. I found the acupuncture very relaxing and the massage afterwards was deep and just what I needed. I look forward to future visits.

Mary Chandler - Ashtead

Brilliant service! The acupuncturist even allowed my husband to sit in the room durin the treatment. The consultant talked through my health issues and took the time to explain the benefit of the treatment. Very relaxing atmosphere will definitely be going back.

RWilli - Coulsdon

I had both acupuncture and Chinese massage for my osteoarthritis and although aware the condition cannot be cured, was very pleased witrh the results - albeit. Temporarily. The young lady was very professional and very good at her job. I have a further appointment on Monday, 29 June 2015, so I must obviously have been. Pleased with my initial treatment.

Daniel Tait Millar - Banstead

First visit on 12/9/15 for Facial Acupuncture to help with migraines and TMJ (excruciating)! Had Acupuncture before so knew what to expect. Dr Li was lovely. I was in very capable hands. Procedure was relaxing. Felt benefits on jaw immediately. Pain has eased and left calm and stress-free. Provide appt reminders. Professional and friendly service. Would highly recommend. Already booked another session.

Lesley Meyler - Epsom

I went to the Dorothy Li Practice for acupuncture and Tui Na massage to help with tension in my shoulders and neck as well as digestion problems i have been having. The treatment was fantastic, I feel I have much more energy and my digestion is so much better. I will be going back again and would like to try some other treatments as well.

Emily - Leatherhead

I had 30 mins of acupuncture and then 30 mins of massage for a long standing RSI problem. Fair to say that not fully recovered from it but after one session I have so much more movement in my arm, neck and shoulder. Thank you Dorothy.

Dave Ebworth - Banstead

I saw Dorothy for acupuncture for three months after I had struggle to get pregnant and had noticed I ovulated very late in my cycle. Dorothy was always very helpful and friendly and made me feel immediately at ease. On the third month after balancing my energy she used some stimulating acupuncture. That month I ovulated much earlier in the month and I am now in the early stages of pregnancy which I believe was helped through the acupuncture I had.

Lucy Smith - Banstead

I had a tui na massage for an hour. The receptionist was very pleasant. The therapist was very professional and compared very favourably with massages I have had before. In addition the room was very relaxing and I will be visiting again.

Eleanor Bracken - Upper Norwood

I saw Dorothy for fertility acupuncture after almost 2 years of trying to conceive. She was professional, friendly and willing to answer all of my questions, however minor. After just 2 sessions, I fell pregnant and am now in the very early stages - I don't believe this to be purely a coincidence. Dorothy helped with my circulation and gave me hope at a time when I thought conceiving naturally wouldn't be possible for me. I still have a long way to go, but I owe getting this far to Dorothy and for that I will always be truly grateful.

Lydia Halliday - Banstead

I have only been to the Bodyworks just the once but have prebooked and paid for a long course of acupuncture on the back of my one visit. Karl is very friendly and knowledgeable and also very quick to reply to any communication and my treatment was carried out in an understanding and very professional way by Dorothy. All in all i am looking forward to returning on a regular basis to complete my treatment and improve my health.
