Wow what a special place having studied here for the last 3 years this has probably been the hardest thing I have done. But I have loved every moment even the tears the support and expertise that you will receive whilst studying here is like nothing I’ve either experienced. Thank you ICOM xxx

I have received Acupuncture treatment at ICOM for 8 years. Prior to starting this treatment, Depression and ongoing severe stress were unbearable, with panic attacks and anxiety. Acupuncture has been the only treatment which has helped me - and I desperately looked for solutions as I was not coping! I now go for maintenance treatments, making appointments for 6 months in advance. I would not skip an appointment under any circumstances! I highly recommend Acupuncture to every person who wants to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. Thank you ICOM. More...

I graduated in 1992. I enjoyed my 3 years at ICOM and met lovely people. The course is exhausting and I remember spending the night in The Mayday Hospital, Croydon at the end of 2nd year (where I worked as a temp medical secretary), suffering from kidney problems due to exhaustion. I also have wonderful memories of my month in China with Pauline and Dr Van Buren. More...

Loved every minute of being a student there, even the days that I cried of exhaustion and love every time I am there as a practitioner. Such a warm and present place to be, it's the people there that make it what it is. More...

As soon as you walk through the door of ICOM you feel calmer; the whole vibe is lovely and so welcoming.
Vanessa, the receptionist always has a big smile and a friendly word and nothing is too much trouble.
I saw Kirsten and she is simply amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.
If you are open to the treatment it will help you without a doubt.
Thank you ICOM!

I have been using the centre for number of ailments & for several yearsI have MS & have suffered badly with my back due to the way I tend to walk. I didn’t want to rely on anti inflammatory drugs & went down the route of acupuncture I was delighted when they got on top of my sciatica the relief was tremendous,so I will always recommend the centre to anyone who needs help with pain.
