"I felt the benefits of acupuncture almost immediately. The pain in my knees (from arthritis) got less and less with each treatment -- it is amazing because now I am completely pain free. Diana is great!"

“After learning that a co-worker of mine had visited Diana for nausea during pregnancy and had experienced very good results, I decided to email Diana to see if she offered any help for PMS. At that time I was experiencing about 1.5 to 2 weeks of the following symptoms during PMS: extreme tension in my neck and shoulders, a complete sensation of vulnerability throughout my body, headaches, body aches, extreme anxiety, irritability, and general confusion – which sometimes inhibited my ability to even be at work- I would just go home and curl up in a ball on the couch! After seeing Diana 3 times and taking the herbs she recommended, I barely even noticed experiencing PMS the next month!!! I really could not be more pleased with the results I’ve gotten. I am just amazed, I had no idea acupuncture would be so helpful. If I’d known I would have these kinds of results I would have gone to Diana years ago and gladly paid three times the price! (Don’t tell Diana that!) I’ve already recommended Diana to many of my friends!”

“Just wanted to let you know how energized I feel after my treatment yesterday! While I did not sleep all night through, I slept very soundly until 4:00, which is better than my recent sleep experience. The neck is still a bit stiff, but the shoulder is vastly improved. I will take my ailing shoulder to the golf course tomorrow, to assure you of a dilapidated condition come next Wednesday. I would say remarkable results after only one treatment.”

“At the age of 24 I was diagnosed with Proctitis. After a year of sporadic flare-ups, increased rectal bleeding, and the use of suppositories, my condition worsened and I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I had tremendous pain with bowel movements and I was losing the ability to control my bowels, combined with an increased frequency to go – up to 12 times per day. In the fall of 2003, I entered the emergency room and remained in the hospital for nearly a week. Upon leaving the hospital, I began another regiment of prescription drugs. I was willing to try anything…that is if it wasn’t acupuncture (boy do I regret that decision). My fear of needles kept acupuncture as an absolute last resort for me. I began altering my diet strictly and seeing a naturopathic doctor. However, again I would have temporary relief and then my symptoms would continue to increase. Finally, in the fall of 2004 I had yet another colonoscopy and was told that the colitis was active in over half of my colon. The pain I was experiencing at this point was quite unbearable and worse than when I was hospitalized the previous year. I was told that I had two options. I could either be on six prescription drugs to try and mask symptoms or I could have my colon removed. I needed to find another option. I finally gave in to the requests of my husband and a friend to try acupuncture.
After my first appointment with Diana I had 30 hours of no symptoms. I had not felt that good in 2 ½ years. For the first few months I had acupuncture treatments three times a week. As my symptoms improved, I slowly decreased my intake of Prednisone. At the beginning of 2005, I was able to go off of all the prescription medicines, including Prednisone that I had been on for nearly 2 years, completely. I am proud to say that my colitis has been in remission for over four months now and I absolutely attribute it to the acupuncture treatments combined with herbs and natural supplements. While I am now able to go three weeks in between appointments, I wish I were back to three times a week simply because I find the sessions to be extremely relaxing. My new health is in its infancy stages, but I am so thankful to be on this path!”

“I suffered from wrist pain that was so bad the doctor told me my “potato-salad-making days were over”. That was disheartening news because I am German and I make potato salad for every family and social event I attend! I was actually scheduled to have surgery for what was diagnosed as tenosynovitis in my wrist. I decided to try acupuncture to help deal with the pain until I had the surgery. After 4 treatments my wrist pain was gone. I postponed the surgery. After 2 months of no pain in my wrist, I cancelled the surgery altogether. It has been 8 years now and the pain never returned.”
