say about Bonsai Clinic..

I visited Bonsai clinic after having some trouble conceiving for the past year or so. I felt a little apprehensive about the treatment (acupuncture) but was made to feel at ease and very reassured. Nick was very attentive and professional. He was very informative and answered all of my questions beforehand. I found the whole experience from start to finish relaxing and I was made to feel super comfortable throughout.

I successfully fell pregnant after one session and cannot be anymore grateful to him. I would highly recommend him to anyone and looking forward to other treatments with him in the future.

Thank you SO much Bonsai!

Having suffered from ulcerative colitis for 9 years, I had lost all hope at any form of remission. The only route I had taken was medicine; immunosuppressants, steroids, anti-inflammatories, the list goes on. Ultimately, this was the only route I knew and the only one I surprisingly trusted.
My friend recommended Nick to me and despite my initial reservations, I booked my first appointment. I am so glad I did! Nick listened to everything I had been through and it quickly became clear to me that he was genuinely invested in my care and supporting me. His knowledge was incredible! I finally got answers to questions that were always left unanswered by the doctors and nurses I had previously seen. 

The treatments Nick offers were daunting at first, as I had never experienced any of them before. However, Nick explained everything he was doing, along with the purpose, which was very reassuring for me. His level of knowledge and expertise was enough for me to trust that this new path, away from typical medicine, may work for me. He also shared his knowledge of nutrition and supported me with a new diet. Pairing this with the treatment has no doubt left me feeling the best I have felt in years!

I couldn’t be more grateful for Nick’s support and I honestly wish I had found him earlier on in my journey. He is a genuinely lovely guy, with a clear passion for helping others and undoubtably an expert in his field of work. I will continue seeing Nick for treatment, reaching out for guidance and would recommend him to anybody going through health struggles or experiencing pain.

During London marathon training in 2018, I picked up a relentless knee injury that even while resting for a few weeks at a time, would just come back as soon as I started running again. I couldn’t seem to get past 10km without severe pain which was causing me real frustration. I got to the point where I would walk my dog for twenty minutes and experience the pain even then.

I therefore went down the private medical route and had a consultation with two very experienced orthopaedic surgeons who sent me down the route of physiotherapy. Despite really committing to the physiotherapy weekly sessions and at home exercises, these were only ever temporary fixes. I heard about Nick’s treatment and thought I would give this a go as nothing else seemed to work. Nick really focused on the cause of the pain as opposed to treating the area pain itself, which was completely different to the treatment I was getting through the physiotherapist.

I saw Nick for approximately 6 weeks, once a week and I couldn’t believe how quickly my knee injury improved. Nick is extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise; he is also extremely friendly and I would genuinely recommend him to anyone. I genuinely have not experienced any pain since and cannot believe what he has done, especially considering the orthopaedic surgeons I saw had over 25 years of experience in this field.

Thank you, Nick 🙂

I feel so lucky to have found Nick and can’t recommend him highly enough. He is a highly skilled and professional Practitioner of Japanese Medicine where he used acupuncture, kinesiology and visceral treatment on me with a body balance. He listens to all the aches I was having as well as fatty liver issues. Then he starts treatment on your whole body rather than just the part where you have issues with as he believes they are all connected as a whole.

By just having a feel where my liver is, he could tell there was a problem. I had two treatments with him and was planning a third one but then we went into lockdown. I travelled from London as it’s so worth it. He was recommended through a family friend and I would be ever so grateful to the friend who suggested I give Nick a go.

Nick is very knowledgeable and professional in his field of work, I’ve used him for a few aches and pains I’ve had over the past few months and now I’m back in fully working order, fully recommended and will use again.

I was given Nick’s phone number by one of my Gym friends. Nick helped me with his Japanese therapy, it was amazing help me relax and help my pain which I had do to several TIA (mini strokes he knew where my pain was coming from and helped reduce it in a few sessions I have recommended Nick to two of my other friends and they are very happy with the treatment. I would recommend Nick to any one who’s in pain.

Having been openly sceptical about acupuncture, Nick calmly explained the procedures he was going to be doing to me and why. Expecting to feel a sharp pain when the needle pierced the skin, I can honestly say I could barely feel them which surprised me.

Nick is happy to talk through what he is doing and eloquently explains the procedures and how the procedure links into the pain/issue being treated. He’s very knowledgeable about his subject and his relaxed approach naturally puts you at ease.

I’ve had various physio and osteo treatments over the years. The combination of acupuncture alongside the massage techniques has seen the most progress with my injuries by far and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick for a consultation.

I’m 45 years old and due to my physical job I’ve suffered with back pain for some time, usual daily discomfort and occasionally extreme pain. I used many different treatments before, and as they helped with the relief of extreme pain by means of aggressive manipulation, but never actually solved the underlying problem. I needed to try something different. And a friend recommended Nick, and after a relaxing consultation and made to feel at ease, we started on a course of healing the whole body, learning it was not just my back that was the problem.

I was a little apprehensive about the needles, but after a short while I felt their energy working and releasing tension. Nick was able to then soften my muscles and start to realign my body. And from the first day I felt better, he gave me some light stretches to do and another visit in a week. After every session I was feeling freer from stiffness and gaining more movement. I know I can keep doing this treatment as it’s gentle on the body and it’s a peaceful relaxed setting for your mind too. I’d recommend this for everyone. It’s changed my life for sure.

Due to some glowing recommendations, I came to Nick to get treatment an ongoing shoulder problem. The clinic is a very relaxing environment which makes the experience all the more enjoyable.He talked me through the acupuncture process very clearly and I learnt a lot about why it is so effective.

The treatment was brilliant – painless and very effective at releasing the tension in the muscle. He also corrected some misalignment and gave some deep tissue massage that really freed up my shoulder. After that treatment, I knew that for any future aches, pains or illness, I would head straight back to Nick without hesitation.

My 7-year old daughter has also received treatments from Nick for chest infections and for a sprain injury. Both treatments worked brilliantly at reducing the inflammation quickly.

I would highly recommend Nick’s treatments for a wide range illnesses and injuries. They are very effective and he has a wealth of beneficial knowledge to share
