"This morning as I was walking my dogs, I realized how very grateful I am to Bonnie and her acupuncture treatment. Several weeks ago walking my dogs was a painful and uncomfortable experience. I was planning a trip to Yosemite and had hoped to be able to hike while there, but it seemed impossible with the pain and discomfort in my feet. I sought treatment with Bonnie before my trip and I am happy to say i hiked 12 pain free miles in one day. I continue to walk comfortably, Bonnie's treatment has been a lifesaver. Thank you Bonnie." ~Lynne Goldberg
