Time to reset

Barr tailors each treatment to his client's needs and his roster of clients is proof of his knack for gently treating all manner of emotional issues.

While the needles were uncomfortable, the experience brought me more in tune with my emotions. I felt at peace with myself and the tension in my neck and shoulders had virtually gone.

At a time when you can feel immensely out of control, acupuncture can make you feel sane again. It's also particularly supportive if you're going down the stressful IVF route, helping enhance its efficacy.

Barr specialises in fertility but also in grief and heartbreak. Being able to fix broken hearts is no mean feat but, judging by his testimonials, Barr seems to have nailed it, one needle at a time.
