“I can't thank Dr Olivia enough. After struggling to conceive for a couple of years with a low AMH (4.3), I tried acupuncture to see if it would finally be the answer to our desires. The initial consultation was very thorough and Olivia is very knowledgeable. In fact, she helped me to understand my fertility more than previous NHS doctors and consultants. She suggested my short menstrual cycle (24 days) could be the reason for our troubles and so we worked to reset my body and extend my cycle and give the lining of my uterus time to thicken so that an egg could stick. Olivia managed my expectations and said this could take months but felt confident that we could make my cycle longer. To our amazement, after a week of acupuncture, Olivia managed to lengthen my cycle by 3 days which in turn allowed an egg to finally stick. We tested positive and I continued with acupuncture for the first 6 weeks. This year, we gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl and I am so thankful to Olivia to her help. She is such a lovely human, very supportive and spoke to me almost daily during my treatment. I recently brought my daughter to meet Olivia which was such a beautiful full circle moment. We will definitely be visiting Dr Olivia when ready for the next baby! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so happy I met you ❤️”

“I highly recommend Georgiana, from our very first session she created a safe space where we both felt immediately comfortable. Her approach was gentle but full of wisdom, our session flowed effortlessly and was never reminded about time. Georgiana is full of empathy and words resonated with us, she didn’t even have to ask to many questions we just opened up and quite often she knew what we were going to say, this is how great she is at what she does. Georgiana’s kindness extended beyond our session, she took time out of her morning to check on us. To say Georgiana is a life coach is so accurate she made us understand so much about how got to this point in our relationship and has given us hope that things will be great going forward. Thank you to this special woman x”

“From my first appointment Lauren was so welcoming, knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly - I felt in such safe hands and can’t wait to see the progress with my skin!”

“By far the best barber in Camden, come to trap and let him change your life. Shop is good vibes and of excellent barbers!”

“Dillon was very professional, gave a great cut with great detail. He was very friendly! Thank you Dillon for the great service!”

“Charlotte is a fantastic acupuncturist! From the very first visit, I felt welcomed and at ease in her calming space. She takes the time to listen carefully and tailors each session to my specific needs. Her approach is both professional and compassionate, and I truly appreciate her expertise. After just a few treatments, I noticed a real improvement in my cycle and overall well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for skilled and thoughtful acupuncture care!”

“Just Wow! An absolute Gem of a place in Hayes. Just off from the high street. The brother welcomed me, guided me through and got the Hijama session done fairly quickly. Very friendly and very knowledgable. The clinic also accomodates for sisters . Highly recommended! Hope to see you again”

“I had a great experience at Paul’s Barbershop and can see why so many people recommend it. The staff are genuinely welcoming, and there’s a relaxed, friendly vibe as soon as you walk in. My barber took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and checked in throughout the cut to make sure everything was spot on. The attention to detail really shows in the final result — it’s one of the cleanest, sharpest cuts I’ve had in a while. The shop is tidy and comfortable, and you can tell they take pride in keeping everything professional. The prices are fair for the quality you get, and the service feels personal rather than rushed. Overall, it’s a reliable place with skilled barbers who clearly enjoy what they do. I’d happily recommend Paul’s to anyone looking for a consistently great haircut and a positive experience.”

“I cannot recommend Cornel enough. He doesn’t just work on the problem but works holistically and encourages you to help yourself with exercises and advice. He always explains what he is doing and why. I can feel a significant change in my body over the last 2 months through following his advice.”

“I'm a wheelchair user and have suffered from acute pain for several years. Someone suggested Acupuncture, so I did some research, and Po Yee of The Ivy Clinic came highly recommended, so I made an appointment, and to my delight, I no longer have to use the Lidocaine plasters on my feet nightly, so she's enabling me to put fewer chemicals in my body”

“I’ve just finished a course of shock wave therapy for a damaged Achilles and I can’t recommend this clinic enough. The staff are excellent, from the friendly, welcoming receptionists to the extremely knowledgeable chiropractor, Greg who administered the treatment, advised me on what I need to do in order to maintain a healthy Achilles and got me back walking normally again after just 6 treatments.”

“In my life I had a lot of issues that I considered resolved, because a lot of time has passed. I originally started to go to therapy, because I had questions about certain behaviours that I did. With the help of an amazing therapist Tania Turner I manage to find answers, but also more questions which helps me understand myself more. I also understood that even though time helps heal the pain it doesn’t necessarily make the traumatic experiences go away. I believe therapy is an excellent way to revisit and learn how to navigate through those experiences.”

“Alhamdulillah I had the wet cupping done by sister Wahida, I was so impressed and happy about the quality of the work she has been giving and giving advices in a nicely way. Every step she did she gave clear explanation, about what will happen next. She easily touched my heart because of her high quality of kindness. I was so scared at the beginning but later on in her way she’d make me feel more relaxed and happy. Jazakallah khair tata Wahida see you in a month inshallah.”

“Petite theatre tucked into the iconic Globe. Cozy and can get quite warm in the upper circles. I opt for the standing tickets and it's not unbearable with a bar to lean on and a decent amount of space”

“I received Brazilian laser treatment from Faten! Despite having a significant amount of hair at the beginning, just after half sessions, I now have 90% of the hair gone. She made a comfortable atmosphere during the treatment, allowing me to undergo the procedure without any burden. She is the best therapist I have ever met. I really highly recommend her.”

“I recently had the pleasure of getting a waxing service from MK, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. MK is not only a skilled professional but also a genuinely nice person, making the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, MK's warm and welcoming. Her friendly nature made the atmosphere relaxed, creating a positive and comfortable environment. MK's expertise and gentle approach during the waxing session were truly commendable. She took the time to ensure I was comfortable. It's evident that MK is not only passionate about their work but also dedicated to providing a high level of service. The choice of products used during the waxing was outstanding. The quality of the products enhanced the overall experience, leaving my skin feeling smooth and well-cared-for. I recommend Si Belle, specially MK for anyone seeking a waxing service that goes beyond the ordinary. Thank you, MK, for your expertise, kindness, and the fantastic experience. I'll definitely be returning for future services!”

“Hadn't had a haircut in literal years and wanted a dramatic change from having long hair for over 10 years. Also wanted to find somewhere local to my work and find myself 'my hairdresser'... Only taken me 10 years to do this! Found this salon through Google and Instagram as was impressed with the before/after shots and team looked really friendly. I got my haircut by Ashley - he was an absolute dream. Made me feel relaxed and gave me honest and helpful advice over how short to go based on my hair. Also had great chat and had great relationships with the rest of his team. Thanks Ashley! Will definitely be back again - hopefully sooner than 2 years this time! Perfect timing as just before my trip to Paris - felt incredibly glam!”

“We took our dog for a groom recently, it was his first one with us so we were a bit nervous. He came out looking amazing and was clearly very well treated given how friendly he was with all the groomers. I'd highly recommend this place.”

“Like all parents, I was anxious about sending my 1 yr old daughter to nursery when I returned to work but I didn’t need to worry – the nursery is a real gem & she loved it from day one. Little Aisha has a warm, friendly, family feel and the staff genuinely care about the kids. Our daughter really bonded with her key workers in butterfly and caterpillar room . We couldn’t ask for more in terms of the support, love & attention she receives.”

“Carolina was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Her communication was excellent, she replied quickly to all my messages and kept me updated every step of the way. Thanks to her efficiency and dedication, I managed to find a job within just a couple of days! I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a job through Little Ones.”

“I have never written a google review before. However, I felt compelled to do so because of the exceptional service received by all the staff at Goddard Veterinary in New Addington. This is the first kitten I have had as an adult, and I wanted to give her the best start in life, so I visited 2 vets in my location. I could not believe how I was totally ignored at the first vet I visited. I thought if they could ignore a human, then I didn't know what they would do to my kitten. So I then visited Goddard Veterinary and was so happy how Marie spoke to me and explained everything to me. First impressions really do count! Since then, I registered my kitten, and she has attended there and is now an adult cat. She has been looked after so well. I would like to say a very big thank you to Marie, Liz, Helen, and Paulo for all their hard work and how kind, caring, and professional they have all been. I chose to write this review 22 months after having my first visit in order to give a true perspective of the service I have received so far. I would not hesitate for anyone to choose this vet to look after their pets.”

“I went for a scam of the wrist. I thought the staff were absolutely wonderful. Everyone was warm and welcoming. The sonographer explained my scan in detail and made recommendations which were invaluable to me. Thank you guys.”

“Had a great 1-hr soft tissue massage session, Basically it's a full-body incluiding back, legs, head, shoulders and arms. Feel refreshed and relaxed. Great job! I'll defenetely come back.”

“I had an excellent experience with One Therapy, and Dwayne Jackson was incredibly supportive throughout. He provided a comfortable space to discuss my specific concerns, offering thoughtful guidance that truly helped me gain clarity on the specific issues I wanted to work on. Dwayne was professional and compassionate, making each session feel productive and meaningful. I highly recommend Dwayne to anyone seeking effective and empathetic therapy.”

“Great nursery! The staff are always caring and lovely and the facilities are great! They are working really closely with my daughter to speed up her language and emotional development and I couldn't be more happy of the results! She is now really chatty and much more confident! Absolutely recommended!”

“Best barbers I’ve ever been to. Been going for a few years now. The staff, all of them are amazing. Very friendly, very welcoming. You get what you pay for. Quality!!”
