Feedback from our clients:

I have seen Lily for 4 sessions for Bell’s Palsy and I felt like it made a world of a difference. After each session I could see a visible difference in the movement of my face. She also gave me exercises to do at home and things to keep in mind which made me feel like I was able to contribute to my recovery. Each session was so relaxing and I looked forward to it every time.

I’ve seen Lily a few times now, have been suffering for months now with bad neck pain as well as constant headaches, GP gave me Norflex, wasn’t helping much. This is only my third appointment with Lily and I have seen massive improvements already. I’m sleeping better, I have barely any headaches anymore and my pain has almost fully gone. Not taking Norflex medicine anymore, which is good. I highly recommend Lily, she knows what she is doing, Excellent! Thank you so much Lily!

After only two visits to Lily for acupuncture and doing a simple exercise, my tinnitus is almost completely gone after several years of it. I couldn’t be happier! We’re working on a separate problem, and I have no doubt Lily will be able to fix that too. She’s a lovely, calm, gentle, friendly, and hugely knowledgeable practitioner and I very highly recommend her services.

I should know Lily earlier, I had chest pains, shoulder pain for more than a year, GP couldn’t figure out what is going on. Luckily, I known Lily by a chance, finally I got my chest pain fixed. She feels my pulse, which is exactly what all excellent TMC doctor does in China. I am very appreciating her skills, the way how she treated me. Thank you very much.

Tight neck, shoulder and elbow from my office job, after just one session the relief was instantaneous. One more session and pain/tightness was pretty much resolved. I am amazed at the results and will be heading straight back for any other future niggles!

Just finished a course of acupuncture for head, neck and shoulder pain suffered from a fall onto a concrete floor. Whilst I had acupuncture before I wasn’t really 100% keen (don’t like needles), but I can honestly recommend Lily at Amaranth Acupuncture. She is so gentle, I genuinely didn’t feel a thing! A very knowledgeable and caring lady who has cleared up my shoulder / neck and head pain to the point that I can now get on with my daily life tasks with no more pain and discomfort. So, a big thank you Lily.

I’ve had stress related neck and shoulder pain for at least half my life. Then I tried acupuncture by Lily and the pain felt like it just melted off me. This was on my very first session. I had returned to her a few more times when I have some pain in other areas, and it works! Each session is also so relaxing that I fall asleep during the sessions and feel refreshed and light after.

Cannot recommend her enough! Lily’s work is not only effective, she is also very professional and took her time to educate me on traditional chinese medicine.

Well, I’m just thrilled to be writing this review. I want as many people as possible to benefit from Lily’s healing. I can’t believe that I spent a whole year in discomfort, having been told my injury was difficult to heal from and that it would be a prolonged recovery. After being too sore to even do my physio and missing out on activities with my family, I heard about Lily and her amazing healing abilities. One session and I felt instantly better!

01/24 Charlie (NZ)

I injured my mid-back when falling off my bike. Suffered from muscle spasms across my back. Tried massage and heat with little effect. After 2 treatments of acupuncture, I found I had more movement and hardly any muscle spasm. Feel so much better now and I can get back to gardening and walking/tramping.

I can really recommend this type of treatment. Thankyou Lily.

12/23 Barbara (NZ)

Some months ago, I developed a painful TMJ disorder to which the only dentist/doctor solution was painkillers. I decided to try acupuncture and from reviews chose Amaranth. After one treatment, the pain reduced by about 70%. Following more treatment along with exercises and advice recommended by Lily, the pain has virtually gone, with the odd twinge now able to be self-managed by using the exercises and advice. I can totally recommend Lily, her painless treatment, and her sharing of knowledge to help the patient, if willing, to manage their own wellbeing.

I have been a long sufferer of back pain which cripples me for weeks at a time. I was spending a lot of money at the chiropractor and still struggling. After one visit, my back had no pain and I was working again. Lily treated me for more issues on my second visit and I was given Chinese medicinal herbs to help with my stress. Lily is very thorough and skilled, takes time to talk and explain in detail about her treatment. My sister in Australia recommended her and I’m pleased to have found Lily. Thank you for your understanding and skill.

09/2023 Anita (NZ)

I suffered with a tense neck and shoulder pain for many months and would get regular massages to relief the pain (caused by stress). After only one single visit to Lily, my tension melted away instantly. I now do not require regular massages. Very happy!

Lily, you have been amazing. After sessions with my GP and with the Osteopath, who encouraged me to rest the tendons in my arm, the pain was 24/7 and 10/10. After my first session with you where you treated me and encouraged me to use my arm, I had immediate relief! Now, 10 days later I have full function and I’m back to doing normal work and have no pain.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

11/2022 Josie (NZ)

I’ve seen Lily a few times now and for different issues and she is so incredibly amazing at what she does! Every time my issues resolve pretty much instantly! She is really good at asking questions and figuring out how she can support you. She is gentle and so skilled! I have recommended her to several people already! Thank you Lily!

I want to highly recommend Lily. I was advised to see her by my Gastroenterologist. I have suffered long term digestive tract and IBS issues together with interstitial cystitis and have been on heavy pain relief close to 20 years. After seeing Lily for only a few weeks I have seen a dramatic improvement in all my symptoms and am currently decreasing my pain relief considerably. She is extremely professional and very caring and kind. As a skilled Chinese Acupuncturist and Herbalist she obviously has great knowledge and experience to offer. I’m so excited to feel so much better and looking forward to the benefits of ongoing treatment.

I had acupuncture before coming to Lily, but nothing compares. She’s a magician! If you have anything in your body that ails you, go see her for some Lily Magic. She’s super gentle, I always walk out feeling recentered, grounded and energized. She’s simply the best!

I met Lily when she was living and practicing in the Netherlands. I was 43 and I was trying to get pregnant with my third child. Back then I read that acupuncture, also for those going through IVF (though it wasn’t my case), can have some positive impact when trying to conceive. So I decided to give it a try with Lily and I actually got pregnant. I really recommend Lily, she is a very nice and kind person. She is a very good professional and has lot of years of experience in acupuncture. Thank you from the heart Lily and wish you all the best in New Zealand!

Today I came here for treatment of my legs for numbness to my toes. I feel thatI have progressed a great deal and it has given me a new lease on life: no soreness in my legs, which I have put up with for many years. Thank you so much Lily.

Lily is a very good acupuncturist. She helps me with pain relief for my back and shoulder. She also gave me some herbs and helped improve my digestion. She follows protocols for health guidelines, is a fully vaccinated acupuncturist, her clinic area is very clean and she is very thorough.

In the time I have been receiving acupuncture, I have found so much improvement in the movement of my leg. And the pain level in my knee has dropped considerably. I will certainly continue coming to Amaranth Acupuncture to keep my optimum level of general fitness. Lily has certainly improved my general wellbeing.

I have been suffering from tooth nerve pain for a week and my dentist felt that a root canal might be an approach to fix it. I decided to give acupuncture a try for the first time. After two treatments the pain is completely gone. Very happy with that result. Thank you.

Had very bad headache and earache causing vertigo and Lily offered me acupuncture, wow! What a relief! Felt really good in an hour and same night I slept so so well! Awesome work Lily, thanks.

Amaranth Acupuncture was my first experience trying this millennial, simple and effective way to heal my injured knee. I had many physiotherapist session to get back to normal, but it was never really recovered. I stop running, cycling and even walking because of the ongoing pain. That’s why I went to see Lily, who provided me with a world class treatment and shared her deep knowledge of this legendary way to cure your body without using drugs/pills/painkillers and so on. I wish I had met Lily long ago. I would recommend acupuncture to everyone who suffers muscle or joint pain as an easy and relaxed way to get your body in harmony.

My stomach problems are gone and I feel calm inside again. That feels so good, makes me happy and gives me energy. I enjoy it every day. That’s because of the attention and expertise of Lily. She knows exactly what I needed with her knowledge. Acupuncture has made my pain disappear.

After surgery for oesophageal cancer, I got a lot of stomach and intestinal complaints. Our GP referred me to Lily. After a few treatments and using some herbs, I feel a lot better. I’m starting to have energy again. All in all, worth it to feel good again.

05/2020 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

My wife came to Lily with complaints of fatigue (already a 19 years old complaint). After two treatments there was already improvement. Her energy came back. Now after a busy week and five treatments later, she is experiencing a much improved condition. If only we had thought of, and discovered this sooner. We are pleased with this progress and thank Lily for her effort to “stimulate” the energy again.

03/2020 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

I came to Lily with various complaints. Now, two weeks later, I am very happy with the result. I feel fitter, my back problems have disappeared and as a “bonus” my varicose veins are also getting better. In short, Lily is my new best friend!

01/2020 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

Had another treatment today, for my back and left knee. Every treatment is wonderful. I always come away from Lily completely happy. My body feels younger and younger.

02/2020 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

Through the Dutch lessons of Humanitas, I came into contact with Lily. She talked about the open day of her clinic. Because I have always been interested in other than conventional medicine, I went to the open day. I had no specific complaints but was interested in a general check-up. After the intake interview, I made an appointment for a treatment. Because I’m afraid of needles, I wanted to try herbal medication. It worked so well and so softly, I was impressed. Then made an appointment for acupuncture. That treatment was also very nice. This way of healing works on the entire body and mind. Holistic. Some physical complaints have almost disappeared with this method. And herbs and acupuncture together work best for me.

Tuesday morning, I woke up and couldn’t get out of bed because I had hurt my back the day before. My left lower back hurt terribly, with every movement I felt a sharp stab and deep breathing was also difficult. I went to see Lily on Wednesday and the first session relieved my acute pain. I slept like a baby and my pain was a lot less. On Friday, Lily suggested using a different needle. I agreed and could hardly believe the effect of this needle. My back had softened and a lot of the pain was gone. The next session was then in three days. My body recovered quickly and I had more energy. Taking supplements (which Lily recommended to me) made me feel less stressed from the daily hustle and bustle. This time Lily also used the e-stim, cupping, moxa method with special needle to relax my muscles. And it worked, I can almost sit on my right knee without pain. I could hardly believe that after 3 sessions of acupuncture all the pain in my lower back was gone. Even my older blockage on my right leg is starting to ease. Thank you Lily for your professional help!

08/2019 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

My back is doing very well and the pain is completely gone. Thank you.

12/2019 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

Very competent and involved! A lot of knowledge in areas such as chronic pain, atypical complaints, tinnitus, child problems involving abdominal pain / headaches, CVA, chronic stress complaints and sleeping problems.

04/2019 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

I’ve always been interested in other than just the common medication, or “medicine”. During an open day I was introduced to Amarant Acupunctuur and subsequently made an appointment for a general check-up. During the intake conversation it emerged what was wrong and because I am afraid of needles, I wanted to try Chinese herbs first. That went very well, as the medication had a positive effect on my entire constitution. I am prone to winter depression and the herbal treatment worked on that as well, so that I could deal with it better. After that I decided to “let me prick”, which was not that bad! There is no pain from the needles, unlike when the doctor has to prick your blood, it is just a small pain sensation, which quickly turns into a warm pleasant sensation. The herbal medication works very gently on your problem areas and I recommend it to everyone. Lily is a very skilled acupuncturist, she is also very attentive and preceptive, observes very well, so that her analysis of your situation fits well.

06/2019 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

I received treatment for persistent backache at Amarant Acupunctuur. The acupuncturist, Mrs. Lily Yang, is knowledgeable, careful, kind and caring. She explains well what she does. After more than two years of treatments in the regular healthcare system, I made the switch and became acquainted with Chinese medicine. Within a few treatments, I experience a strong decrease in pain, decrease in muscle tension and an increase in energy.

04/2019 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

I came to Lily because of stress-related complaints. Jaw pain, spastic bowels, headaches and also a lack of energy. Now, after a few treatments, I am really much better. Acupuncture helps me a lot. What I like about Lily is that she is very involved. She gives you personal attention and is genuinely interested in your wellbeing. She is friendly, sweet and very important: she has a very good sense of humour. I am very happy with her.

02/2019 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

I recently started experiencing loss of strength and pain in my left leg. Lily has treated me once and the pain has gone and the strength has come back. The nice thing is that Lily always explains exactly what will happen in clear language.

01/2019 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

My back hurt a lot for the past 10 years and traditional treatments did not help me well. When I came to Amarant Acupunctuur, I received professional treatment from Lily. After only two treatments, I felt perfect and the pain was gone.

11/2018 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

Lily’s acupuncture and herbal treatments have significantly improved my health. Lily is not only extremely knowledgeable and experienced, but also a very involved therapist. Your way to health is her mission! There is a lot of personal attention and no rush. She is friendly, attentive, extremely professional and has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend her!

I came here for my tinnitus which I have been dealing with for 10 years. After a few treatments I had no problems for a few hours and later for a whole day! Unprecedented after so many years. I also feel energetic and regained my confidence again. I hope to eventually completely get rid of my tinnitus.

09/2018 – Amarant Acupunctuur (NL)

I love coming here. Despite the flu, mij back pain is almost completely gon end I don’t suffer from urine loss anymore, that’s great! Thanks to acupuncture I have much more energy. In short… I like going to Amarant Acupunctuur!
