Kind words
From patients
After a year of suffering through a nagging shoulder injury which would not fully heal I turned to William for acupuncture treatment. Through a series of acupuncture treatments my range of motion and strength have been restored.
— Hugh Martin, Encinitas
William is an incredibly gifted and intuitive acupuncturist. He truly believes in stepping back and allowing the body to heal itself, and he will convince you that your body has healing powers you never thought possible!
— Chris S, San Diego
I am jealous of you if you are near enough William to book a session with him. He is a man of great integrity, passion and purpose. It also helps that he is filled with humor and compassion.
— Adrian Danzig, Chicago
