Tracy, Lawyer, North London
I came to see Sharminee after my husband and I had tried for a baby, unsuccessfully, for 18 months. Before exploring medical options I wanted to try acupuncture because I had read that it could help with fertility. At first I was apprehensive about the thought of needles but Sharminee instantly put me at my ease and soon I began to look forward to my weekly sessions. As well as being a great listener, she explains everything clearly, and I would leave her clinic feeling calm and deeply relaxed. After 10 sessions we discovered I was pregnant!

I have a tendency to suffer from insomnia in times of stress, change, excitement and even happiness! I have tried conventional medicine and hypnotherapy over the years and whilst both were mildly effective at the time, they did nothing to provide long-term relief and I continued to suffer regularly. When a recent bad bout of insomnia left me exhausted, desperate and having to take days off work I came across Sharminee. The day that Sharminee treated me I slept more soundly than I can remember doing in the last decade and this continued for around 10 days. I went back a couple of weeks later for more treatment and the effects were similarly dramatic.

It is such a huge relief to have found something (and someone) that really works. Sharminee is so sensitive and gentle whilst obviously extremely intelligent and thorough that she makes you feel 100% relaxed and confident in her ability. I recommended Sharminee to friend who told me that after seeing her she has slept through every night since her visit - something she also hasn't done in years.

I was pregnant and in the early stages when I first visited Sharminee and she also provided relief from the symptoms of indigestion on my first couple of visits. I would thoroughly recommend Sharminee to everyone.


Claire, Housewife, London
I have suffered with heavy periods and premenstrual tension (including severe anxiety) for several years and turned to Sharminee about 6 months ago for some help. I have felt enormous changes in my cycle and mood since I have been having acupuncture and this is wholly down to Sharminees expertise in this field. I am far less tired than before, my periods are definitely lighter and I generally feel more positive.

Sharminee is not only extremely professional and knowledgeable, but she is also very easy to talk to and allows me to fully relax and unwind during my hour of acupuncture.I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

My sessions with Sharminee have been extremely useful in my quest to feel less stressed about work and my battle with infertility. After only a few sessions, I felt better able to cope with the difficulties I am facing by regaining more of a sense of control. Sharminee has an extremely professional approach and is able to deliver a bespoke treatment to her patients.

Jane, Jewellery Designer, London
From time to time I suffer from aching joints and muscle stiffness. A few months ago my elbows and fingers started giving me a great deal of
discomfort and as I make jewellery this was causing me quite a few problems so I decided to see if acupunture could help.

I found Sharminee at Balham Therapy Rooms and she has helped alleviate much of the pain and stiffness. I find my hourly sessions with her are very relaxing and extremely good value. She is very nice to spend time with and patiently listens to all my moans and groans. I shall continue to visit her to keep my condition at bay.


Sam, London
I first visited Sharminee after trying to get pregnant for a while with no luck and found her very sympathetic and understanding. The sessions were very relaxing and I'm in no doubt that they helped incredibly, as after a month, I got pregnant and our baby is due in November!

M, Health Promotions Officer, Balham
I had acupuncture weekly for three months to help with really bad painful periods and I saw a great deal of improvement in that time and since. I was never really interested in acupuncture until a teacher I really respected talked to me about how she thought of it is as the 'best' therapy for balancing the body both physically, emotionally and energetically. Because I was doing a lot of all the right things nutritionally but was still in a lot of pain each month I thought I would give it a go.

Sharminee is good at explaining what she sees after looking at your tongue and reading your pulse without making you self-conscious or anxious. I'm one of these people who likes to know, so for me her willingness to educate and explain whilst treating was very helpful. I was expecting the needles to hurt and was surprised in my first treatment that it was not at all painful.

It's about six months since I finished my course of treatments and I still have some cramps but nothing that i need to take pain killers for which is a great improvement for me.


Jeff, Network Manager, London
I broke my elbow joint a few weeks before Christmas in an accident and
required substantial metal work to pin it back together. Sharminee's
acupuncture therapy proved to be a very effective compliment to the ongoing physiotherapy undertaken to rapidly recover range of movement and reduce swelling. Thoroughly recommended.


Rachel, Curator, London
Sharminee treated me for pain from RSI. It was extremely effective and I can now do things that had been very painful before. Sharminee's friendly and professional nature means that she is very approachable. She is very good at answering questions and clearly explaining the treatment. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
