It was a pleasure to work with Martina for acupuncture treatment. She helped me with my right hip pain. I would recommend her to others for pain relief. She was professional, pleasant and easy to visit with. Thank you.

Read MoreI sought Martina’s help for a non-serious injury.
After reading my history and realizing that I had multiple problems, she suggested some intensive therapy. Martina said it was an opportunity to make some breakthroughs. I was reluctant as my husband and I had not expected to make this financial outlay.
I agreed as I was stressed by my problem and not enjoying the cruise and also it was a strain for my husband.
I do not regret having intensive therapy as Martina has helped me and I feel a lot happier. Martina is professional and has a very endearing manner.

Read MoreI wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the fine care received from Martina Sturm. Shortly before leaving for our first and highly anticipated cruise, I developed a low back problem which could have compromised the quality of our Princess Cruise experience. Martina’s acupuncture work with me salvaged our holiday plans.
Martina took the time to thoroughly review my current situation and medical history to develop an excellent treatment protocol. She was kind and gentle in the application of our agreed upon treatment. Martina worked a schedule which minimized the impact on our planned activities both on and off the vessel.
I am exceptionally pleased with the service received at the Lotus Spa and in particular Martina.

Read MoreWe have found Dr. Martina Sturm to be a most professional and dedicated acupuncturist. Her treatment of us was above expectation, and we would highly recommend her to whoever is fortunate enough to be treated by her.
We found her to be extremely knowledgeable and her attitude very caring. We wish her continued success in the future.

Read MoreMartina is a total professional, she knows acupuncture inside out and shows her knowledge so readily. I was very impressed with the way she handled a power point failure. She made the topic interesting and pointed out pros and cons in acupuncture versus conventional medicines.
I signed up for an intense treatment plan and had a positive reaction after the first session. Martina was treating me holistically and the 3 areas of concern responded positively right from the beginning. I am delighted with the results and will continue to have acupuncture on a maintenance basis when I return to Australia.
The bonus is that I have also shed 3kg without trying!
Meeting Martina has changed my life, after a long standing back problem I feel whole again. Thanks Martina for your expertise and friendship. Great job, well done!!

Read MoreBoth my daughter and I received multiple acupuncture treatments from Martina. Here are our stories.
Both of us suffer from PTSD from the result of an abusive relationship from my ex-husband, her father.
When I came on board I was, at 39, taking 6 different meds for allergies, high blood pressure, severe stress-related TMJ, chronic back pain, and for a recent car accident injury. In spite of narcotic pain meds, I was in constant pain.
After the first acupuncture treatment, I was able to stop taking the heavy pain medicine. Upon the subsequent treatments, my overall physical well being increased significantly. I am very happy with my experience, as prior chiropractic NeuroSoma massage, physical therapy and pain meds treatment never really alleviated my pain.
My daughter, who’s 14, struggles from significant socio-emotional issues. She was molested by her father repeatedly, but has a very difficult time verbally expressing herself regarding everything she’s been through.
Through her acupuncture treatments, which initially leave her sad, angry, exhausted and deeply disturbed, she was able to release a lot of the pent-up and repressed negative energy that’s been trapped in her physiologically since the abuse happened. She has since then become much more verbally expressive, even more age appropriately rebellious/assertive and more social.
After my experiences with Martina and acupuncture, I am a firm believer in the treatment and believe that it is well worth the financial investment.
