Daniel is an incredible healer and a true advocate of holistic health.
As soon as I walk in the door I feel completely comforted; my health
and wellness have his full attention. Allopathic health institutions
demand so much of their practitioners that I had gotten used to seeing
the doctor for all of 5 minutes before being diagnosed and heading out
the door. Daniel listens to my concerns and I ALWAYS walk out of the
door feeling better. Daniel's use of acupunture and herbs to treat my
health concerns has left me feeling much better in the time that I have
seen him. I recommend him to everyone I know. Visiting Daniel has
become an essential part of my self-care routine!
Daniel Martin is not only a kind and compassionate person, but an
intuitive and exceedingly generous healer. I have been seeing him weekly
for almost a year and a half, and in that time he has opened up a
series of holistic doors for me, physically and mentally, such as
treating stress and depression, a serious iron deficiency and weak
pulse, hormal imbalances, food cravings, auto immune diseases,
infections, concentration, and fatigue. He has helped me link symptoms
and sensations within my body to deep, embedded traumas I had previously
only been vaguely aware of, and of which we have directly targeted (and
continue to target) through acupuncture treatments and herbs. Daniel is
not just an acupuncturist you go to see to get some quick needles and a
moment to yourself (although he most certainly will help!); Daniel is a
real, engaged, constantly-learning and investigating healer who works
with you and your body on multiple levels in order to achieve YOUR
desired treatment and results. He really listens to you (don't be
surprised if you find yourself telling him your life story!), and has
the utmost respect for your concerns and comfort level. I have never
felt afraid to ask him questions, and because of this have learned so
much about the practice of acupuncture, and have a growing knowledge of
his approach every time I see him. I never feel like I go to him just to
have him work "on" me, but that we are constantly working together. And
I think this is a really rare characteristic of many doctors these
days, who not only are overworked and seeing too many patients each day,
but who are taught in school to treat a "problem" with a quick fix, for
instance popping a pill every time something hurts. Acupuncture can
bring very quick and amazing relief, but it is not a Western quick fix,
nor an instant solution to your pain, but part of a holistic lifestyle
designed to bring more peace, compassion, and health into your life.
Working with Daniel each week reminds me of this.
