I was so happy and excited—my phantom pain was getting unbearable. After the second treatment, I had a 70–80% improvement, and after the third treatment, the pain completely subsided. It felt like a miracle—the burning and pain were totally gone. Martina also treated my knee pain, which disappeared as well. On one occasion, I had nausea, and within two hours of treatment, it was completely resolved. After completing 10 treatments, I can honestly say this is the first time in years that I am pain-free! Martina is incredibly skilled and professional.
Read MoreI came onboard with severe arthritis in both knees. As I’d had great pain in my left knee a feed weeks before I left, I did many things to improve this. Pain was mostly alleviated but I still walked with difficulty, my leg was stiff and I couldn’t bend my knee, I also wore a knee brace or compression bandage support. My doctor made sure I had many of supplies of anti- inflammatory and pain killers!
I was dubious at first to embark in a daily dose of acupuncture, but Martina and I quickly developed a close bond and I have to say that for most of the trip (18 days) I have not worn my knee support and found I didn’t need to take any drugs. The part I love the most is that I now don’t walk with a limp either! If I ever find that I am, it is very slight.
Thank you, Martina.

Read MoreI have been so fortunate to have tried acupuncture on this cruise after nearly 6 month of ongoing muscle pain following a fall. I have bulging discs, stenosis, osteoarthritis everywhere – hips, knees, feet, back, neck, etc. I could rarely walk the first few days of the cruise. I had tried packing Aleve for a couple weeks but stopped due to high blood pressure and edema. Trying acupuncture turned my pain around and it is more manageable. I can walk almost normally. I get up from a chair more easily and sleep much better. I am very thankful for all the help, encouragement and information I have received from a very caring acupuncturist. It made my cruise more enjoyable and I look forward to continuing acupuncture after return home.
