"Dear Guadalupe,

I want everybody to know how great I feel after experiencing just four sessions of acupuncture.

I came to you after my doctor told me that the knee pain I was experiencing was as expected for my age (67) and condition and that I should take Tylenol to ease it. No other treatment was considered necessary. However, walking consisted of rocking from side to side and swinging my legs forward with minimal knee involvement, which, of itself, curtailed my ability to enjoy any exercise.

It took just one session for the pain to go from my knee. The remaining treatments helped me to cope with other pain as I resumed a normal walking stride and needed all my muscles and tendons to be restored to their normal flexibility.

This is now February after I had my last treatment in December and I have no difficult walking normally, at a fast pace. I had no prior knowledge of the efficacy of such treatment beyond a few TV stories and was amazed that I should feel so good so easily. I did not even feel the needles beyond a slight tickle.

I recommend your treatment to anybody who is experiencing constant pain and restricted movement in their joints."

"Hi Guadalupe,

Here is my testimony on how Acupuncture has changed my life:

A few months ago I went to see Guadalupe because I had won a Gift Certificate for an Acupuncture Treatment at an event at the Riverside Theater. I was a little hesitant as I have never been or had a treatment. I had been having chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back pain now for over a year and it was steadily getting worse.

Guadalupe sat me down and we chatted about what the treatment entailed and where exactly I was having issues. She was kind, gentle, and reassuring as I was obviously showing my nervousness. She asked me to relax and think of a positive affirmation during the treatment. I did the best that I could.....but.....none came to .

My first treatment I felt some relief but it did not last long. My second treatment she worked on my hot spots and worked on a few others. My third treatment is where I noticed a tremendous shift in how I felt. Guadalupe gave me and affirmation that was short and to the point and I made it my mantra for the duration of the treatment. It was like my body had been released of all the pain that I have endured for such a long time. My neck, shoulders, and upper back were pain free, My muscles were relaxed and supple. I had full range with my neck and shoulders. My whole body felt warm and relaxed and energized. Guadalupe worked on my foot as I have a Bunion, Hammer Toe, and Morton's Neroma all on my right foot. When she such the needle in my foot I thought I was going to hit the roof......it lasted only a second and then all the pain dissipated. Since then all the issue with my foot have been decreasing daily. I am a Custodian at a Primary School and I am on my feet constantly.

I highly recommend Acupuncture as an alternative treatment for chronic pain. Guadalupe is gentle and explains everything in a way that is understandable. I am one of those people that has adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals and therefore must explore alternative treatments.

Thank you Guadalupe!!"

"I first met Guadalupe in August of 2014. I was suffering from plantar fasciitis, which I acquired as a running injury. I could barely walk and was in quite severe pain when someone recommended I try acupuncture. After the first visit to Guadalupe, I experienced relief instantly and my pain went from around a 9 or 10 to a 5 or 6, In the weeks following my first visit, my pain subsided to a 3 or 4 and I was able to stand for much longer than I had been able to before. Guadalupe also recommended homeopathic remedies for Inflammation, which aided in healing my feet."

"I have also gone to Guadalupe for work on my shoulders, neck, and jaw. I was experiencing tightness and clenching from stress and tension and she helped relieve this as well. On one occasion, I was suffering from a tension headache for two days. I went in to see Guadalupe for help and she used acupuncture to relieve my headache. The pain from the last two days was nearly gone and I felt much better. Guadalupe has also helped me with resetting my sleep patterns by providing me with a homeopathic remedy to fall asleep at night. In conclusion, I would recommend Guadalupe's services to anyone who is experiencing pain, trauma, or discomfort in their daily lives. She has made me feel so much better in such little time, and I am very thankful to have met her."

"I just wanted to thank you for helping with my shoulders. Since I had the acupuncture on my right I have never had a problem with it. Looking forward to more visits for other parts that need help without pain killers. Cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me. From Headaches to Carpel Tunnel. Also from the time I was 4 years old my left baby finger was numb from scar and nerve damage. You gave me a treatment on the scar of my left baby finger. Now I can feel the tip of my finger and the scar is nearly gone. Same with the scar from the carpal tunnel surgery. Looking forward to years of Alternative Medicine. As I am a supporter of both Eastern and Western Medicine as I feel that they should go hand and Hand in keeping good Health.

Thanks so very much, Guadalupe"

"A couple years ago. I had a very busy teaching semester. My commute to work is about 45 minutes each way, so I spend a lot of time in my car, The long drive, as well as several other factors caused me to get stressed out and it started to take its toll on my body. I started to get a sharp pain in my hip, and pain in my shoulders. That's when I started seeing Guadalupe. She was able to fix the pinched nerve in my right shoulder right away. With on treatment, I felt good for the following six months. That is a pain I have had for a long time. I still go back every six months or so, but I'm nearly pain free in that area between visits. More importantly, Guadalupe discovered that my hips were out of alignment, and readjusted them. Since there has been no pain! I have recommended Guadalupe to friends and family."

"I was having with my back and as I did not want to just mask it with medicine, I decided to try treatments from Guadalupe Gutierrez. I had acupuncture once a week for several weeks. It worked very well and since then I have not had any recurring back pain. I would not hesitate to have acupuncture again and I highly recommend Guadalupe Gutierrez for acupuncture treatments."

"My name is Jake, as of writing this I am currently 15 years of age. and in grade 10. From what I remember I I have had feeling of continuous growing pain within my upper and lower back, since I was around nine or ten years old. I first went to see the acupuncturist, Guadalupe in my home town of Princeton, BC around three to four months ago, and have never felt this good in the past years. Around a month ago I was walking my two dogs, (after the appointments) and a thought popped into my head, the thought was this is what it's like to not-feel pain. Since almost the first time going, I have noticed an improvement in my attitude, as well as that my grades have also went up. Personally, from me it is fair to say that this is the best I have ever felt."
