Acupuncture Reviews & Testimonials in Lewes
Choosing an acupuncturist is a personal decision. It can be helpful to hear from people who have already experienced treatment and to understand what they valued about their care.
The reviews and testimonials below are from patients who have shared their experiences of acupuncture, Chinese medicine and therapeutic massage with me in Lewes. They have been grouped according to the concerns and experiences they describe, so you can more easily find accounts that may be relevant to you.
These are individual patient experiences. Everyone is different, and testimonials should not be taken as a guarantee that another person will experience the same results.
Pain, Back Pain & Mobility
“Esaias’ experience and expertise have been a game changer for me, in successfully treating back and hip pain, broken sleep and helping to alleviate anxiety. I only started have acupuncture two years ago, and cannot recommend Esaias’ holistic approach highly enough.”

“After many years of knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, I had both knees replaced four years ago. To be honest, I expected the result to be better than it is. My knees are still uncomfortable and I’m unable to walk very far without pain. I tried all the usual things – painkillers, physiotherapy, Aquatherapy, mindfulness – to no avail.
Someone then recommended Esaias as he had helped them with their pain and anxiety. I’ve now had several sessions with him and I can honestly say that I’m feeling optimistic for the first time in years.
He practises traditional Chinese medicine but his talent lies in getting to know you as a person. He listens with empathy, is extremely generous with his time as well as being a skilled acupuncturist. I feel less anxious and my knees are definitely feeling more comfortable. I can definitely recommend Esaias if you’re struggling.”

“I would always recommend Esaias as an excellent and professional Acupuncturist.
I came to him with painful plantar fasciitis, underwent 3 sessions of acupuncture and haven’t had any recurring symptoms ever.”

“I went to see Esaias for shoulder and neck pain, along with stress and anxiety. He’s a really friendly and approachable practitioner, and I felt relaxed in his company and felt listened to, which makes a big difference to me.
I booked a course of treatments and found it really helpful — I came away feeling looser, more relaxed, and with much less tension. Booking a course also saved me money, which I appreciated. Personally, I believe acupuncture works best over a few sessions, especially for ongoing issues.
I’ve had plenty of massage, osteopathy, and acupuncture in the past, so I speak from experience — and I can honestly say this was a really positive one.
Highly recommend!”

Stress, Anxiety & Emotional Wellbeing
“Esaias has such a calming presence, any anxiety was left at the door. After a thorough chat through my many symptoms of angst and stresses of life, the treatment was very much needed. Lots of constructive advice to help with daily stresses and nutrition information, all very welcomed!
Feeling fresh and energised the day after treatment. I will be back, for sure.
Thank you Esaias”

Fertility & Women’s Health
“I had acupuncture quite some time ago now but I had been struggling to maintain healthy early pregnancies so gave it a go. I didn’t need that many treatments before falling pregnant and the result was a healthy baby girl – she’s now 6!
Professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.”
Megan – Google Review
“I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for all you have done with regard to my acupuncture treatment. At all times I felt in really good hands and positive that the outcome would be a good one. Your approach is friendly, relaxed and above all professional. After 3 miscarriages, I was beginning to wonder if all would come good for me.
Kitty’s happy arrival is one that I will be forever grateful for and weighing in at 9lb 10oz it’s clear my body was in tip top flow and condition to ensure she was so good and healthy. I put that down to my treatment with you so thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Sue – Patient Testimonial

Helping my wife recently with a difficult pregnancy, his needles have proved invaluable. Highly recommended!”

New to Acupuncture or Nervous About Needles?
“After trying most things, I called on Esaias to help me with my sciatica. I wished I’d called on him sooner – but I guess my anxiety about needles put him on the back burner. I needn’t have worried – the needles are so fine, I didn’t feel a thing, only the blessed release of my sciatic pain. An extremely professional and expert therapy conducted by a really calm and understanding man.”
Ann – Patient Testimonial
“I was a bit unsure about acupuncture to begin with, as I generally have a strong aversion to needles, but Esaias with his calm manner and sensitive way of working made me feel listened to safe and completely at ease. I also brought my son to see him which speaks to the level of trust I have in his approach and the benefit of his treatments.
Highly recommended”

Feeling Listened to and Understood
“Esaias immediately put me at ease; took a full and incredibly detailed history of my complaints; and treated me accordingly. He talked me through his thoughts and reasoning so that I felt fully involved and respected throughout.”
Emma B. – Google Review
“I first started coming to acupuncture when I was at quite a low point with my health. These acupuncture sessions have been so uplifting since I started them a few months ago. I leave every session feeling stronger both physically and mentally and I am so grateful for how caring and understanding Esaias has been. I’m usually quite an anxious person especially around new people, but since the first session Esaias has always made me feel comfortable and listened to and reassured me with his incredible knowledge about everything. I can’t express how grateful I am for all that he’s done to help me🙏❤️”

“I’m very grateful to Esaias for a wonderful summer reset treatment today.
Esaias’ comprehensive knowledge of Chinese medicine is so helpful in explaining the causes of my problems and following the treatment I am already feeling lighter in my spirit and more balanced in my body.
It is so refreshing to feel really heard and supported.
I thoroughly recommend.”
