  •  "Minerva is an excellent acupuncturist and I will recommend her to all my friends and relatives.   She is unlike any other acupuncturist --- She took  the time to hear my health problems and her needles are absolutely painless.   I've had carpal tunnel syndrome for more than 5 years and many times the pain is so terrible and I cannot sleep.  My doctor kept giving me more pain medications that irritated my stomach and made me feel so tired.      Even though at first, I wasn't such a believer and quite skeptical about Chinese Medicine, after a few painless treatments,  Minerva completely eliminated my carpal tunnel syndrome.   I'm doing basically the same activities as I did before I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel.  Minerva is a sincere, caring, and an amazing acupuncturist.   I would and continue to  recommend her to everyone."  ----   Female, Los Angeles, California

  •  "On the evening of Christmas day, 2004, while my wife and I visited my wife’s parents in California, I experienced severe lower back pain while getting up off the couch. I was unable to sit, stand, walk or do anything else without excruciating pain that gripped the small of my back and shot down my right leg. I couldn’t lie down without assistance, and I could not get into a car to see a doctor. The pain was so bad it literally brought tears to my eyes. This went on for two more days until a friend suggested acupuncture. 
    We were given the name of Minerva De Lauren. Two days after Christmas we called her and she agreed to do a home visit. I could not get into a car to visit her office.      This was the first acupuncture treatment I’d ever had, and did not know what to expect. Minerva came in, conveyed confidence in being able to help me, explained what she was going to do, had me lie on a table and proceeded to treat me for approximately an hour. At the end of the hour I was astounded! I was able to get up off the table, walk and sit with almost no pain. I was in disbelief. The following day I was able to get into a car and visit her office for a second treatment, and the day after that was able to fly home comfortably as if none of this back pain had even happened.
     The treatment was painless – I never felt the needles. Minerva was reassuring, gentle, professional and if results are any indicator, extremely competent! I have since visited with an acupuncturist in our home state for other issues and continue to experience success. Minerva was a godsend to me, and acupuncture has opened up a whole new world of painless healing. I could not be more grateful.  " ---

  • "Minerva treated my "acid reflux"  problem which I had for 3 years.  Almost anything I ate gave me all sorts of problems.  My doctor prescribed different medications but none of them really worked.   Minerva gave me about two treatments and now I can eat almost everything I want without any problems.   She is a great acupuncturist and I would definitely recommend her to anyone"--- Female Patient, California

  • "I went to Minerva for weight loss treatment.    I have tried "ear seeds" from other acupuncturists but they only work for a few weeks and then back to the same weight again.     Minerva gave me not only weight loss acupuncture treatment but also good dietary advice.   After six months,  I have lost 32 pounds and have not gained it back and its now been a year and half.    I'm extremely pleased with Minerva's  treatment and wish people would explore acupuncture  first than many other treatments out there that may not work in the long-run.    --- Female Patient, California

  • "Minerva continues to provide me incredibly successful Facial Acupuncture and Stress Relief Treatments.   I'm a Vice-President of an organization so beauty and stress relief treatments are an  important routine in my life.    I've seen major improvements in my facial appearance with many friends and relatives indicating that they see me younger looking with much less wringles.     I also feel energized and relaxed after each session with Minerva.    She is an excellent acupuncturist and I would recommend her to anyone especially to  women who are interested in natural cosmetic therapies and stress relief.   "--- Female Patient, California
