Client Testimonials

I practiced acupuncture for many years in Montana, and I’ve been a recipient for almost thirty years. Yesterday I went to Susana for a session and was so happy to discover that she is well skilled and quite knowledgeable about the art. I found her needle technique to be gentle and I also sensed a knowingness in her touch.

I went in with a complaint of back pain, and Susana used a unique non-needle insertion technique that I’d never seen before. It was amazingly effective, and by the time I got on her table the back pain was gone.

I highly recommend Susana to anyone who could benefit from acupuncture.

My search for the right acupuncturist is finally over.  I had been through nearly 15 acupuncturists before finding Susana Byers, and I was resigned to addressing one set of issues with one practitioner before going on to the next.  They always say in Asian medicine that everything is related.  Susana quickly identified the threads common to all the relevant issues and treated them as a whole. Now, she is keeping me well-toned, and helping me prevent problems before they arise.  Susana Byers is a rare find in the vast forest of alternative health care practitioners, especially in New York City.

For the past three months, I was experiencing a great deal of pain in my right heel due to plantar fasciitis. The pain and discomfort caused me to severely restrict my exercise program of running and brisk walking. I have seen a podiatrist in the past and was prescribed orthotics. However, they recently stopped working and the pain was chronic and occasionally severe. I talked to Susana Byers and decided to try acupuncture. I was skeptical and did not understand how acupuncture could work. However, the pain was more than I was willing to endure and I succumbed. Much to my shock, I was and continue to be amazed at the positive results. I went through one treatment approximately one month ago and have experienced no pain within 24 hours. The treatment was painless and actually enjoyable. I have begun my exercise program once again. I am a true believer and highly recommend Susana Byers.

I would like to thank you.  The numb lower extremities that occurred as a consequence of chemotherapy 7 years ago disappeared after your treating me. I had given up and thought I would just have to live with it for the rest of my life.  Imagine my surprise when I would feel the earth under my feet once again and knew when my shoes were on my feet without looking down to check. Balance and gait improved also. I was inspired to try acupuncture because I saw the difference it made in my old arthritic Labrador Retriever’s life. And am I ever glad that I did. You will never know how much you helped me.
