“For years I have been suffering from sinusitis with very painful headaches especially at the change of each season. Cristina's acupuncture is the cure. One or two sessions and the pain is gone for weeks, sometimes months. I am now a regular patient as I find the whole experience very relaxing and soothing' ~ Marcella , Personal Organisor
“Our first session was very effective, it relieved bloating and constipation while improving to a great degree the quality of my sleeping. I felt an inner sense of calm and could concentrate on my work and my private life with a relaxed attitude and a positive outlook. My chronic pain got much better as a result of this peaceful state of mind. The therapy has been very effective so far at removing emotional blockages and coping with anxiety.” ~ Marcello, Photographer
