I had been feeling down for a long time due to the onset of depression after a serious knee injury. I had never had depression before and didn’t recognise the symptoms creeping up on me; nausea, anxiety, breathing difficulties and tightness in the chest. I went to see Caryn for treatment as I was getting desperate for a solution to the blackness that had crept into my life. I had also never had acupuncture before and was sceptical about the procedure. Caryn gave me three treatments over the course of two weeks. I enjoyed the sessions and was surprised at how painless it was. As the acupuncture began to work, I felt better and better. My mood lifted and I was thinking more clearly and objectively. I found I was better able to deal with the physical side of the problem that had caused my depression in the first place.
