Before this trip, I fell and injured my back and side. The treatments I received helped me enjoy the trip with much less pain. In addition, Martina worked on my colitis and diverticulitis, and I feel significantly better now than when I first came on board.

Martina treated me to relieve the burning pain in my knee that prevented me from getting a good night’s sleep. she has been successful even though I have still climbed and descended stairs on various excursions. Relief without more pills!!

What an unexpected “bonus” to have on our first cruise ever and to have had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Sturm.

Having never experienced acupuncture and arriving on board with a lot of pain in my hip, groin and leg, I was so pleased to “try anything” that would help. After 7 days I am much better in my body and mind. My body is not miraculously cured but I am much better with my gait, mobility and pain and most of all Dr. Sturm warm optimistic messages and education on the body made me feel hopeful.

I came aboard with a nagging heel spur which was problematic for the prior 7 weeks. After a short consultation with Dr. Martina Sturm I scheduled 10 treatments during the 7 day cruise. I was able to make some progress the first few days and after several shore excursions I was in worse pain than at the start of the cruise. I stayed with the schedule and now feel so much better. She was very helpful and encouraged me to be persistent and have a positive attitude. I will continue treatments when back on shore. Dr. Martina has true caring for her patients.

Martina Sturm was excellent at explaining acupuncture. I have never done acupuncture, she walked me through the process and I felt that the treatment helped me a lot. Started an ongoing herbal program to help me get healthy. The pain that I wanted addressed was. I feel my long-term health will be better.

Thank you, Martina.

8 treatments later I understand how acupuncture will benefit my life. Dr. Sturm was patient with us. My husband and I had joint treatment, and taught us how to take better care of ourselves and how to recover from some live changing events that we have experienced.

We will not forget you, Martina!

Thank you.

Decided to try acupuncture for intestinal problems of many years. After four days of treatment normal bowel functions resumed without pain and without the use of laxatives. Dr. Martina was always prompt and encouraging. Acupuncture is an experience, I hope to continue at home.

I have MS and I have been looking for different alternatives to make myself feel better. My mother told me to do acupuncture treatment. I had five treatments and can already see a difference. My walking has gotten better and so have my muscle spasms. When I get back home I will continue treatments. Dr. Martina was very helpful and knowledgeable about acupuncture, so it made me comfortable.

A very knowledgeable doctor. After receiving her service, I found I had better strength walking. Also helped with moving away from smoking as much as I was. Was helpful in selecting a massage that helped my back and shoulders. There are many qualities that are too numerous to mention.

Daughter of Patient: Dr. Sturm was very helpful explaining the process she would conduct via acupuncture on my dad. I would highly recommend this on-board service to others. Princess is lucky to have Dr. Sturm on their staff!

On the second night of our cruise to Alaska I suffered a muscle spasm in my back. I have suffered from muscle spasms for 20 years. They last about a week and are very painful. I decided to five acupuncture a try as I was going to be walking a lot on our tours. After my first treatment the pain had eased a lot and I was able to enjoy our next day in Juneau. It took several treatments but by the 4th day the pain and soreness had gone – much quicker than with the ray lamps I used at home.

Thank you, Martina, for enabling me to enjoy Alaskan Cruise with much less pain!

It was an eye-opening experience with acupuncture for me. I was introduced to alternative treatments for injury-related issues. I opted to try acupuncture and am very satisfied with the results to date. I will follow up with what was recommended in in the near futures. I felt more energy after the first couple of sessions and most of my pains were eliminated altogether. I strongly recommend acupuncture a try, especially if traditional remedies have fallen short or failed altogether. Relaxing. Invigorating. Rejuvenating!

I 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.

My acupuncture treatments have healed me to feel better mentally, emotionally, and physically, Years of emotional abuse and trauma built up toxins and anxieties in my body. I’ve worked for years to improve and feel acupuncture has opened a new pathway for me. I can now use this knowledge to face the remainder of my years with joy and peace.

When I came on board ship my difficulty walking, going upstairs and found it impossible to sleep on my side.

After a session or two this started to ease significantly and by the end of my trip I had no trouble at all with stairs and walking. I slept well for most of my cruise,

With out the help from Dr. Martina my cruise would have been very restricted whereas I was able to fully enjoy the activities without hip pain.

Thank you!

Arriving on the cruise from Vancouver to San Diego & return. I was quite stiff and unable to climb stairs. As I have my laundry room in the basement of my house, this is a concern. I have also been recommended to lose weight before knee replacement surgery.

Dr. Martina encouraged me to do a full session of 10 treatments each for pain and weight loss. Irma, a massage therapist did hot stone and seaweed treatment on my back legs.

Together, these two holistic specialists enabled me to climb 180 stairs of the court house tower in Santa Barbara after walking 16 km. The pain in my knees have lessened to the point I have cancelled the knee replacement surgery. The girls encouraged me to seek holistic treatment at home for ongoing improvement. Together with the herbal supplement capsules and both treatments I am confident I will continue to feel rejuvenated.

Thank you Dr. Martina!

Before I arrived on the ship I had been suffering from a knee injury and was in terrible pain. I was afraid I would not be able to be able to enjoy the excursions we had planned.

I went up to the spa and me Dr. Martina the next day. She started treatments that days and I was able to have a great adventure on our trip.

I continue a full session of treatment and would recommend anyone suffering from pain to make sure and visit her and they will benefit greatly from her care.

Thank you again Dr. Martina, I only wish you worked close by so I could continue to take advantage of your wonderful care.

May God bless you and your care for others.

I thought that my sciatica flare-up would literally ruin my trip! I had extreme pain in my left leg. I was so lucky to find acupuncture right here on the ship. In just a few days my pain had been reduced significantly! I was able to enjoy the cruise of a lifetime.

Thank you!
