Initial consultation
At Gin Sen, the highly qualified Dr Lily will carry out your consultation. On your first appointment a full case history is taken, including looking at you tongue and take your pulse. You are also given a thorough examination: blood pressure, body weight, blood sugar, and heart rate if necessary.
Everything discussed is dealt with in the strictest medical confidence. Once a diagnosis is made, Dr Lily will discuss with you the timescale and type of treatment necessary. This initial consultation, which includes treatment, usually lasts between 50 minutes and one hour.
Home visits available
If you are elderly or disabled, or otherwise unable to make your own way to us, Dr Lily can visit you at home or work. Time and travel costs will depend on location. Please call her on (07971) 388 617 to see if she can visit you.

Customer testimonials
Losing weight: "Thank you, Dr Lily, for the very effective, fast, natural slimming treatment that makes dieting easy. I felt energetic and was not hungry. After the first four sessions, I lost 4 kgs in just 10 days. After my course of 10 sessions, I lost 7 kgs. Two months later, I manage to keep to my routine and keep the weight off. I have tried many kinds of diets including macrobiotic diet, low carb diet, having diet meals delivered to my doorstep every morning, etc. These diets did not get me to lose any more than 2 kgs at best, then hunger sets in and I eat what I crave all over again. The treatment with Dr. Lily is the most effective and the least painful - it felt really easy. Dr.Lily's acupuncture treatment took away the cravings and hunger while keeping me energetic and satisfied. This then allowed me to easily follow the simply prescribed diet without feeling hungry or weak. This, combined with the acupressure treatment targeted at burning the fat in the problem areas around the waist, hips and thighs, helping me to lose inches in no time. An herbal remedy then flushes all impurities and keeps me cleansed from within. And finally, a very simple exercise routine firms up the loose skin around the belly. This is the most holistic and effective slimming treatment I have ever come across – and it's natural. Dr. Lily is encouraging and very experienced – I always feel like I am in good hands." - Patricia Lee
Neck and back pain: "Dr Lily has a unique gift. I first approached her for tuina massage, after finding her pages on the internet. I often experienced neck and back pain caused by too many hours sitting in front of a computer for my job as computer consultant. The first session was enormously benificial, leaving me with a glowing feeling for the rest of the day (actually leaving me feeling better than I had in ages). I repeated the visits a few times, and her treatment has had a profound effect on my life. Through her treatment she taught me how to look after my body better. These days I rarely suffer from stress related symptoms. She is a true healer in every sense of the word." - Pieter Theron
Stopping smoking: "I first met Dr Lily searching for help with quitting smoking. I had been trying to quit for about 6 years, to no avail. Dr Lily's acupuncture treatment helped immensely, and I've not smoked for 5 years now. Even cravings are very rare! Since then, I've relied on Dr Lily for helping with back problems, and I'm constantly amazed at how effective her treatments are, dissolving seemingly insoluble problems with ease." - Steve Taylor
