“I was experiencing a bad migraine headache one afternoon and went to Sonora to see if she could treat it with acupuncture. During the entire session, she was very relaxed and calm which in turn made me feel comfortable and trusted in her care. As she started the acupuncture, I felt immediate relief. After she completed the treatment, I felt much better as the majority of the pain was alleviated as well as the nausea I was experiencing. Overall my experience with Sonora was excellent, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!” –YK
“Sonora’s gentle touch and comforting demeanor make every treatment a truly healing experience for me. Her vast knowledge and natural talent is apparent as she finds the ‘right spot’ for each needle, every time. Her confidence and knowledge put me at ease, and she always has an insightful piece of advice on how to live my life to its fullest and healthiest. I feel lucky to have her as my acupuncturist!” –EP
“I went to Sonora because I was feeling stressed & tired with low energy that prevented me from enjoying my life to its fullest. After only a few short sessions, I felt less stressed and seemed to have more energy since beginning the treatment. Also the exercise and diet advice from Sonora has left me with the knowledge to further improve my mental health and general fitness in the future. Thanks Sonora!” –AM
“Last week I wasn't feeling very good, sort of like I was coming down with a cold. I didn't want to take all kinds of medicine so I went to Sonora for a holistic treatment. I told her how I was feeling and answered some questions about my state. I have always been afraid of needles, but wanted to try acupuncture. Sonora told me what she was going to do, and I got ready for the treatment. She put two needles in my face near my nose, and I felt ok about them so she put two more in on my hands. The ones in my hands caused a surge of something that felt like a heavy dull weight. At that point I didn't feel like I could handle any more needles so she stopped. The needles were left in for about 20-30 minutes. After she took the needles out I felt very refreshed and almost euphoric, like when you just wake up from an intense dream. All in all I started to feel better shortly after getting treated, and will try acupuncture again in the future. Maybe next time I'll be able to handle more than four needles.” –JP
“I am an endurance athlete, racing in everything from 5K thru Marathons and Triathlons. I was having constant stomach pain that would ruin my workouts and most of all, my race times. I couldn't find any way to improve my times. So I went to see Sonora to see what she could do to help out. I spent a lengthy amount of time with her in my first visit asking about the treatment and she took all the time I requested to make sure I was fully informed about what was happening during the treatment. She also helped me with my diet and explained that I had a lot of stomach heat, giving me options of foods to eat to help cool this heat down. I followed her advice and it made a major difference in not only my endurance races and training, but also my personal life. No more stomach pain changed my energy levels, mental focus, and level of happiness. Thanks so much Sonora!” –NL
"I've always been open to the idea of acupuncture but never sought out treatment. I hurt my back two weeks before I was supposed to do a Tough Mudder (half marathon with 21 grueling obstacles) and my buddy at the gym said I needed to go see Sonora right away. What I loved most about my two visits with her wasn't just how great my body responded to the treatments but how she treated my whole body and mind and not just my injury. I think of her now as more of my "life coach" than just my acupuncturist. I look forward to my treatments not just because I know my body will feel better, but because I feel better mentally as well. The mind body connection is a powerful thing and she helps you tap into that." –BM
“Sonora is one naturally talented acupuncturist. I've gone to her both for 'normal' acupuncture (she took care of several pains and aches I had and, trust me, being a yoga teacher and contorting my body in the most unusual poses, that's no small task at all) and for cosmetic acupuncture (also fabulous results, pain-free and skillfully done, not only wrinkles got erased but I slept better for weeks after I did it). Besides Sonora's noticeable skills with the needles, the best part about her is that she's a true physician: she listens to you, to your needs and diagnosis on an individual basis. No two treatments are the same. She carefully crafts each one of them depending on how your body feels that day.... and that's the way it should be! I can't recommend her enough.” –CA
“I was convinced I would never be able to run again due to painful IT band syndrome. I had tried physical therapy, stretching, and foam rolling to no avail. After my first treatment with Sonora I began to notice less pain during daily activities and after about 1 month of regular acupuncture and cupping treatment I was able to run a 5k without pain. Four months have passed since my last treatment and I continue to run regularly without any pain.” –SF
