Seeking an acupuncturist (or any health care practitioner for that matter) can be an overwhelming and uncertain experience, especially when one is in the grip of a challenging health situation. Like many folks who turn to acupuncture or other "alternative" healing modalities, I was feeling desperate for some relief and guidance amid a variety of distressing, overlapping symptoms, both physical and psychological. The regular health care streams were simply not helping me with my maladies.

Armin earned my trust as a well-versed and experienced practitioner (and as a solid human being) from the first time I met him. In the several years since that I have been seeing him as my primary doctor, he has helped me immensely with many various conditions, including digestive issues, PMS symptoms, musculo-skeletal pain, and emotional trauma.
His intuition and adeptness in his practice, delivered with compassion, consideration and good humour, help establish a very comfortable environment in which to receive his healing touch.
