Experiencing Acupuncture
Singing Dragon, 2020
"Unique and thought-provoking. If you're a practitioner of any acupuncture style (or indeed of any therapy of either body or mind) I defy you to read this book and not grow therapeutically from doing so. John's patient-stories (beautifully told and brimming with authenticity) offer us something truly special."
Merlin Young, acu-moxa practitioner/author/activist
"I found these stories intriguing. They were helpful to me as a patient because they illustrated how acupuncture works. Not so much by an explanation of mechanisms, but through revealing how possibilities for health and transformation can emerge from attentive and committed collaboration between practitioner and patient."
Kathy Doncaster, acupuncture patient

Energy Medicine
Vermillion, Random House, 2002
"In the area of holistic medicine and therapies there is a forest of books which will tell you why a particular therapy is the best. In this work, an experienced acupuncturist and Zero Balancer gives a clear account of the underpinnings of energy medicine... This book was an enlightening and easy read. Mr. Hamwee explains quite unusual and often ephemeral concepts in a clear and practical manner. Be prepared for a boost of energy from his writing. It will be a motivation toward balance and wellness. This is a highly recommended book."
Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn Magazine

Richard Beaumont (Editor) Kindred Spirit, Issue 50, Spring 2000
Acupuncture for New Practitioners
Singing Dragon, 2012

And yet, I can easily say that Acupuncture for New Practitioners by John Hamwee has had the most positive impact on how I practise since I qualified, and that these results have been immediate...Aimed primarily at the recently qualified, this book is recommended for any acupuncturist needing a bit of advice or inspiration."

Intuitive Acupuncture
Singing Dragon, 2015
"A John Hamwee book always has something of the gentle, discursive quality of a conversation with your favourite geography teacher, but don’t let that fool you. This is gripping, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat stuff, and I was totally riveted...I am enduringly grateful to John Hamwee for helping me to trust my intuition. Read this book."
