One week prior to our trip my left hip started hurting. The morning we left for our vacation I was in a lot of pain – It hurt to walk. We heard from our bus driver of her experience she with the acupuncturist on her Alaska cruise. By the time we boarded the ship the pain was so bad I should have asked for a wheelchair.

That was it, there was no question, I had to give acupuncture a try – I am so glad I did. I was able to get to dinner with my husband

Martina was the best, she explained how it all worked and what I should consider to continue the healing. If it wasn’t for Martina, I would have had to spend my entire vacation in my stateroom with room service – thank you Martina.

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!
