Testimonials

What patients and students have said about working with Victoria — in the clinic, through fertility treatment, and in the Qi Gong classes.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine

Victoria approaches consultations on an emotional physical and spiritual level. She's also caring, intuitive, deeply knowledgeable and trustworthy. She resolved my auto-immune condition that Harley Street's best had decreed incurable.

I am very grateful that I've been lucky enough to work with Victoria for the last seven years. She is a remarkably perceptive, kind and skilful healer, and I notice a distinct increase in my wellbeing each time I see her, both physically and emotionally.

Working with Victoria has made a bigger impact on my life than any doctor I've ever seen—she truly embodies what it means to care deeply and live a life of longevity. She's helped me with an endless list of things, from menstrual cramps and fertility to stress and GI issues, always treating the root rather than chasing symptoms. Her knowledge of her craft is remarkable, but what sets her apart is how genuinely she listens and takes the time to know you as a whole person. Beyond her treatments, she offers qi gong and has built a warm, welcoming community that makes you feel truly supported. I couldn't recommend her more highly—she's simply one of a kind.

I originally came to see Victoria after a head injury, and what started as treatment for my recovery has now evolved into ongoing treatment as an important way for me to look after myself. From the moment I arrive, I feel listened to, cared for, and completely at ease. I always leave feeling calmer, more balanced, and with a renewed sense of wellbeing. I'm so grateful for Victoria's kindness and expertise, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

For the past eight months I have had regular consultations with Victoria, as well as acupuncture she has given me advise about my diet and lifestyle. Over these past months I have lost weight and as a result feel more positive and energised. Victoria possesses a wealth of knowledge about acupuncture, health and wellbeing. During our sessions I feel listened to and her practice addresses both my physical and mental wellbeing.

Going to these acupuncture treatments has been such a grounding experience for me. Victoria's warmth, kindness, and thoughtful guidance make every visit feel so welcoming. She has such a gentle, nurturing presence that immediately puts me at ease. I can sometimes arrive feeling overwhelmed or anxious, but the moment I step into the treatment room, I feel myself settling into a sense of calm, balance, and stability. It's a truly restorative experience, and I'm so grateful for the care and support I receive.

I have had acupuncture for over thirty years when I first had it, out of desperation, for shingles. Since then I've had it on a regular basis for general wellbeing if there hasn't been a specific health issue I've needed treating. I have been seeing Victoria for 10 years when she was recommended by my previous practitioner who returned to New Zealand. Victoria is a very gentle lady with the most kind, sensitive and understanding manner. She is a very experienced practitioner, a good listener and will give advice if necessary. She was a miracle worker when I saw her with a rotator cuff issue when I could barely move my left arm — after her expert treatment I was left pain free and able to move my arm without issue. Amazing. She has also treated me for ongoing anxiety and stress due to work issues and severe bereavement following my husband's passing. I firmly believe that I didn't suffer a bad menopause due to my regular acupuncture sessions with her and I recommend any woman who is suffering with hers to see Victoria. Without doubt Victoria is a safe pair of hands and I recommend her most highly.

I was recommended Victoria by my yoga teacher and started seeing her as I was embarking on a detox from all medication for migraine. This was a huge task as I have been on prescription and over the counter medication for 32 years! The very first session was amazing in that I was recovering from a full blown attack and the acupuncture definitely speeded up my recovery and helped me feel much better quicker. In addition my IBS has vanished and throughout the four months of acupuncture so far I have had no bowel problems. My migraines have been less severe and the frequency is reducing. I have every confidence in the role and benefits of acupuncture and would recommend Victoria to everyone. She is very sensitive and thorough and I trust her skills and techniques.

Victoria has opened my eyes to what acupuncture really is - I've previously has a few experiences which haven't really impacted my life. This has been an utterly unique experience. She has a way of seeing things in a completely different light. I leave feeling like it has been an incredibly powerful experience.

Anyone who is struggling - physically, mentally, emotionally - I tend to send Victoria's way knowing that her wisdom and expertise will be a life-changing solution

I have seen Victoria for a while and I find her approach extremely supportive. She always adjusts her treatment to what is going on at the time and I found the treatments of great benefit physically as well as emotionally.

It has been one of the most wonderful experiences to have been having acupuncture with Victoria. After many months of chronic pain and doctors having different opinions over the reason of the pain, Victoria's approach has been a healing and given me relief and hope for the future. And only after three sessions.

Fertility and IVF

My friend recommended that I contact Victoria after a year of trying to get pregnant with no success. From the first moment I met her I felt instantly at ease and confident in her ability and caring nature, even though I didn't know much about acupuncture and how it could help. She supported me through months of infertility tests for both myself and my husband which identified problems on both sides, and it was a very emotional time for us both. My husband also started attending for treatment and we both looked forward to our weekly treatments. Victoria not only provided acupuncture but holistic advice and care too which helped us enormously. We were overjoyed when we found out that I had become pregnant after 6 months of seeing Victoria and our darling daughter was born in September 2009. I continued my treatment throughout pregnancy and I'm sure that contributed to a positive and healthy experience. We are eternally grateful to Victoria for the care and compassion she showed us and we have no doubt that our daughter would not be here today without her help. I would happily recommend her to anyone.

My husband and I have both received treatment from Victoria Conran. We had been trying for a baby for a couple of years when we first went to see her. We both have very demanding jobs as well as some other difficult emotional challenges. Victoria helped us both with our stress levels and to achieve a stronger and more balanced system.I became pregnant while having treatment with Victoria but unfortunately had a miscarriage at three months. Victoria supported us through this both with acupuncture and with her generous and spiritually motivated advice and care. Victoria has an incredibly strong conviction about acupuncture and what it can achieve. However, in my experience acupuncture is not a magic wand, it is about taking responsibly for your life style and making positive changes which along with treatment will help you achieve better well being what ever your medical problem.

Victoria Conran has been my acupuncturist for about 6 years. During this time I have seen her on and off for various reasons ranging from depression to insomnia caused by stress, and hormonal changes; she has helped me enormously with all my symptoms. She is the most amazing lady, who is not only totally dedicated and excellent at her job, but an extremely kind, generous and wise person...I cannot recommend her highly enough!

My husband and I undertook acupuncture treatment with Victoria on the run up to and during ICSI (a form of IVF). Having suffered a previous miscarriage and obviously anxious about taking so many drugs for the treatment I felt that the acupuncture really benefited us, both emotionally and physically. Prior to the acupuncture my husbands sperm count - motility, morphology and volume was all on the low side. Having received treatment and invaluable advice from Victoria the sperm count was much improved. We have become parents to a wonderful baby boy after only one attempt of ICSI. Needless to say we will be going back to Victoria again as we plan for our second child.
