Shine – Newington Green

London

Ewa is a fantastic practitioner. Facials with her are a massive treat, relaxing, therapeutic, refreshing and hugely beneficial for my skin. Highly recommend.

Ernesto and Bernadette and the assistant who washed my hair (she has dupe Long hair, sorry I didn’t catch her name) are absolute gems, I love the fact that they love their jobs. So skilled.

Always such a wonderful haircut, treatment and service!

A wonderful salon - I have been coming for 20 years. Cinnamen is an artist! Everyone is friendly and it is always a relaxing and spoiling experience.

I've been getting my hair done beautifully by Kate since I moved to the neighborhood in 2014. Such friendly staff and great quality products too.

Saw Beth for an amazing massage at shine on the green. Have been going to her for years for sports recovery, relaxation and restoring my posture after both of my children. Highly recommend!

I crown Lara the curl queen! I did not know my hair had this much potential & she understood my suppressed texture & worked it into the most cute curly style. Love it

Josephine takes the time to understand what is going on physically and emotionally at each session. For me, it has been related to perimenopause - changes in my cycle, fatigue and feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. The treatments have a wonderfully grounding effect and I feel more healthy as a result. Josephine also offers fantastic advice around nutrition and general wellbeing. She is such a caring person. I always come away thinking \"love that woman!\"

I\'ve been seeing Josephine for the last 20 years, she\'s been an amazing support through most of my adult life. I love every aspect of Acupuncture and Josephine is a truly wonderful Practitioner. She is so calm, kind and caring and always takes the time to listen to me and offers great advice. Her treatments take place in a lovely comfortable environment and I never feel rushed. She knows exactly what treatment I need and I always notice the benefit afterwards, I feel so much happier and healthier when I\'m having regular acupuncture as opposed to the periods when I\'m not. When I was struggling with my fertility, after having appointments with Josephine, I got pregnant, she was even able to tell I was pregnant from feeling my pulse! She then supported me throughout my pregnancy and even treated me when I was in labour. I travel from the other side of London to see Josephine because she is such a special person, I really cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have been a client of Josephine for over four years. Josephine\'s knowledge of acupuncture is of a very high standard. As she works with my body I feel this massive expansion and release. She knows just where to place the needles after listening to you. Her approach is inclusive, informative, kind and extremely gentle. Also her touch evokes healing which is empathic as the calming energy from her hands softly touches your body as she works.

I couldn\'t recommend Josephine highly enough. I walk away from every session feeling better. Josephine is pure magic. Her treatments have been transformative both physically and mentally for me. She seems to always know how best to approach whatever I am arriving with.

Josephine is a wonderful acupuncturist who delivers her craft with enormous care and compassion. In addition to the acupuncture skills and knowledge, Josephine has the gift of being a natural healer. This is a very powerful combination. You will find each session is tailored to your current situation. Be it specific health issues, emotional traumas or just working through the general stuff that life throws at us all. Everything will be covered and you will leave the session feeling enriched and regenerated. I highly recommend Josephine.

I had acupuncture with Josephine during two IVF cycles and found them so relaxing, not to mention during stims I felt that they encouraged follicle growth. That coupled with Josephine\'s very compassionate, calming and thoughtful personality really helped me through a stressful period. She was extremely flexible around sessions to fit in with the IVF and I would highly recommend her.

Not only is Jo a wonderful person, she is also someone with huge experience and extensive expertise. In the course of the last ten years, she has helped me permanently overcome several unrelated health issues, as well as gifting me with an overall sense of wellbeing. Honestly, I can\'t recommend her enough.

Josephine has a magic touch. She is very intuitive and incredibly gentle and my treatments are so relaxing. I always leave her feeling so good and the effect lasts for days and always gives me a great night’s sleep. I saw her when I was really ill with Covid and that was the only time I felt relief from the virus. I also believe the acupuncture helped my immune system to overcome the virus a lot quicker. I am so glad that I found her and will continue seeing her both for acute issues and for a monthly reset. Its like an MOT for my body and gets me back in balance immediately. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has a gift for healing.

Ewa is wonderful. I’ve been going to her for years — she’s not only an excellent therapist, but also a complete professional and a warm, caring person. She always puts me at ease, even during more intimate treatments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
