"Acupuncture has been really effective
in releasing areas of tension in my body. I have had neck and shoulder pain
related to sitting at a computer all day, and acupuncture
has really helped relieve that. More than that, acupuncture
has really boosted my immune system - for years I used to
pick up every virus going around and suffer from very
painful sinus infections, but now I honestly can't remember
the last time I was sick because it was so long ago. Before
I started visiting Tran I was prescribed four courses of
hospital grade antibiotics in a row, in an attempt to get
rid of a upper sinus infection which had been dragging on
for months - with no results. After one session of
acupuncture with Tran the pain was gone and I could breathe
freely. My only regret about acupuncture is that I didn't
discover it sooner. The sessions are very relaxing and
something I look forward to - my initial worry that the
needles might be painful was completely unfounded. I have
also tried Chinese herbs in conjunction with acupuncture -
they seemed to be a lot more effective than vitamins and
over the counter supplements. I don't think I would buy
commercial blends of supplements any more, given that I now
know that I can get herbs custom blended for me (for a
similar price) and feel a difference almost immediately. I
have recommended Tran to many of my friends and colleagues
with a variety of health problems, and they have all thanked
me for the recommendation after visiting her. Even the
people who were initially nervous about the acupuncture
needles have enjoyed the experience and returned for more
treatments because they saw an real improvement in their
health and wellbeing."

"I was referred to Tran by a friend who had suffered back
pain and RSI in her wrist, and found acupuncture provided
immediate and sustained relief. My initial appointment with
Tran was for lower back pain - the result was so successful,
I returned for neck pain and headaches, all of which were
very successfully treated usually in one acupuncture
session. I would not hesitate to recommend acupuncture to
anyone, and Tran in particular as an extremely professional
and competent practitioner."

"Having suffered migraines caused by neck and shoulder
pain for over a year, I casted my fears of needles aside and
went for an acupuncture and massage session with Tran,
feeling very skeptical indeed. However, the first treatment
gave me instant relief and my condition has improved and
stabalised. I have now been receiving treatment from Tran
for around 2 years, now just mainly on a monthly basis to
'de-stress and relax'!"

"I was a skeptic at first, but after experiencing severe
neck pain and stiffness from my sporting activity I decided
to take the step of having acupuncture. Thanks to Tran and 3
treatments later I was able to get back into full training
with a remarkable decrease in pain and more range in
movement in the neck area."

"I first visited Tran with a neck problem in 2001. After
several weeks of twice a week physio there had been no
perceptable improvement, I still could not turn my head nor
move it up and down. X-rays and scans had shown nothing that
could assist. Simultaneously both the Dr and the
physiotherapist suggested trying something else, and both
suggested acupuncture, and in fact my physio referred me to
Tran and had used Tran herself. I booked, and after the
first session of acupuncture there was probably 80%
improvement. Amazing ! Three more sessions got me back to
100%. Even more amazing ! And being a skeptic I quizzed Tran
on the underlying explanation for the treatment, and has
sound basis. I have referred several people to Tran and all
have obtained excellent outcomes. To not include acupuncture
as a form of treatment is like not flying because we do not
have wings! I now visit Tran maybe quarterly, for
revitalisation. I view acupuncture for this purpose as a
massage with turbo boost ! It makes me feel good, and I have
had no recurrent neck problem."

"Chinese medicine is tremendous! Being Asian, I have
always successfully relied on acupuncture and Chinese herbal
medicine for my health and well being. I maintain to use
Chinese herbs for my menopausal symptoms and relieving
arthritic pain in my knees and hips. Tran's holistic and
natural approach to attending to my health needs has led me
to eating nutritious foods and adopting regular exercise for
my condition. I now use acupuncture and herbs to maintain
optimal health and wellbeing."
