Hi my name is Camille Monson. I am ten years old and in fifth grade. I have been going to see Miss Britta for acupuncture since I was four years old. She has helped me with my Asthma. I was using a breathing treatment machine and on a lot of medication. But three months after a started to see her I didn't need the breathing machine or the meds. I also had eczema soon that was gone too. I still see Miss Britta for tune-ups colds, and anything else that bothers me. Miss Britta and me are working together so that soon my seizures will stop. I trust her with all my heart and with my life she is my friend too! Miss Britta has helped me so much and I recommend her to anyone else. Thank You Miss Britta!

PS: Recently this sweet little patient came in to see me with her whole family to let me know the great news that her latest EEG shows no more seizure activity! She is now weaning off her medications slowly, as she continues to receive acupuncture treatments while doing so.
Britta is a friend of mine. We became acquainted at yoga where she teaches an Ashtanga class. Last week I gave her a massage and in return, she insisted that I have an acupuncture treatment. I did not know anything about this modality except that thin needles are inserted into the skin. I went there yesterday afternoon with no expectation whatsoever other than a curious mind about what I was going to experience. I had no ailment that needed specific attention. I climbed on a heated massage table, face up. She took my pulse, looked at my tongue, palpated my abdomen (which instantly beamed me years back when my godfather who was a doctor used to do the same thing when we were feeling under the weather). She then asked me if I was afraid of needles which I answered by the negative and she started inserting them in different parts of my body: legs, arms, abdomen, face, top of my head. We were having a light conversation when she began the procedure and by the time she reached my face, I was drifting into a very peaceful place and did not want to talk. She then covered me with a very light aluminum foil type of sheet, dimmed the light in the room, put on some relaxing music and left the room. I was very aware of the heat underneath my body, an incredible cocoony feeling of wellbeing, my hands getting heavier and I stayed in that state until she came back into the room some 25 mins later. OMG, it was FANTASTIC. And... it was not over. She pulled out the needles (which, by the way, I never felt them going in). I was asked to turn over and she ran her hands alongside both sides of my spine applying a bit of pressure and more needles went in on my back, at the base of my neck, behind my ears and in my cranium. My body was covered with the light sheet again and back into my cocoon. Trust me, I was in NO hurry to get out of that place, I could have spent the whole afternoon there. My mind drifted back to LALA land, peace, serenity enveloping my whole body, quieting my mind. I lay there savoring every second in a dreamlike state until she came back (too soon) to remove and discard the needles. She then rubbed my back with her hands using a rocking motion to bring me back to this world, my scalp was stimulated too and I knew that this little slice of heaven that I had just experienced had come to an end. I don't know if any of you have had an acupuncture treatment, it is WELL worth every little prick of a needle. I highly recommend it. Besides, you do not want to die stupid (as we say in french). I left her place floating on a cloud and marveling at what I had just experienced. I had a tentative plan of attending a talk but instead changed my mind and drove home. After checking my e-mail, I picked up a book on meditation and the next thing I know, I was in a deep sleep, as if sedated. At one point, I felt Natasya kissing my cheeks and caressing my hair, hearing her sweet little voice saying "You feel so warm grandmere". In fact, her cool hands were a contrast to this perfectly delicious warmth of my whole body. I must have slept for at least 2 hours. I had a bite to eat and this lengthy nap did not prevent me from sleeping like a baby all night long. In fact, I woke up past 7 this am (I am usually up between 5 and 6) totally refreshed, rejuvenated and so peaceful. What a deal!! When I think that people take drugs (with horrible side effects), they should invest in acupuncture. G. B., Hemet, CA



Although I had met Britta several years ago, it wasn’t until about a year ago that I had the courage to try acupuncture. I am now a true believer and fully embrace Britta’s philosophy: "before using drugs, let’s try to get the body to mend itself:. She has helped me with allergies, sleeping problems, sugar cravings and hot flashes. Recently she noticed my hair was thinning and has treated that with some success. My hair is noticeably thicker in the front.Britta has also helped my daughter with menstrual problems, knee pain and was able to cure an acid reflux problem she had, thus getting her off the drug Nexium. Recently I decided to try the acupuncture facelift. My face doesn’t look drastically different, just more refreshed and vibrant. My eyes are more open, the frown line is all but gone, and the deep wrinkles around my mouth are less deep. I then decided to try a neck lift. My neck certainly looks smoother.I feel so fortunate to have discovered acupuncture and very privileged to know Britta.

I began receiving acupuncture from Britta about 6 months ago for my menstrual cycle. She was very easy to talk to, and friendly. Before I had my first treatment I was a bit scared, but very soon after I was fine, because of how sweet and calm Britta is. I was afraid that the needles would be painful, but they ended up not being painful at all. About a month or two later, my menstrual cycle was lighter, with a lot less severe cramping. I am currently receiving acupuncture treatment from Britta to get rid of acne. I would definitely recommend Britta to anybody because of how much of a soothing atmosphere she has, and also because of how successful the acupuncture is.

Who knew that when my son was diagnosed with a seizure disorder December of 2000, that we would through ups and downs end up with acupuncture to help the process in the aid of not only to help clear his head and thoughts, but to decrease the amount of seizures he has had. When we first came to Britta 4 months ago, my son was having many seizures in a weeks time.  We never dreamed it could be possible to see many days pass without having seizures.  We had been through so much in the last several years: high doses of medicines, toxic levels and hospital stays.   When we first started to see Britta, 25- 30 seizures per month would be very common.  After a few weeks we were seeing his head clear and fewer seizures.  In these past couple of months we have seen more consecutive days without seizures than we had never seen before, and as I write this my son is in his 15th day seizure free and no seizures in sight!  We are talking about a plan of action to reduce his medicines. This is the huge break through we have been hoping for. Through Britta's kind and gentle approach with my son, we have seen so much accomplished in only 4 months time. We will continue to see her, with I'm sure more success in the future. Britta is a truly compassionate and wonderful person and I would tell anyone to give acupuncture a try, it really works!!! Thanks to Britta and acupuncture my son is getting his life back!
