"Last fall I developed a searing pain in my left heel. I went to a foot doctor who diagnosed it as plantar fasciitis, more popularly known as a heel spur. I was treated with ultra-sound once a week for several weeks but there was no improvement. I changed my diet, eliminating sugar, empty carbs and saturated fats. I did foot exercises and foot baths as recommended by the doctor, bought special supportive shoes and added foot pads for good measure, but the pain did not subside and my mobility was seriously impeded. (I live in the city and usually walk a great deal.) This painful condition went on for many months.
In January, I made an appointment to see Maureen. I never had acupuncture treatments before but I thought I'd give it a try since I had tried everything else. The results amazed me--they were fruitful and fast! After only three treatments the pain in my foot was completely gone and now, eight months later, I am still pain free and able to take the long walks I love to my heart's content.
I am very indebted to Maureen for her skilled technique and deeply spiritual approach to her work. She was always fully present during the one-hour treatment--not only physically, but more importantly, consciously. Her gentleness and sensitivity created a soothing and comforting experience which, I feel, had all to do with the successful results. "

"I lost the vision in my right eye while on vacation in 2004. The result was a scarred optic nerve that limited the blood flow to the eye giving me limited peripheral vision.
The diagnosis of a bevy of experts in Waterbury and Danbury, Connecticut, and Philadelphia, PA, was optic neuritis or mini stroke. Western medicine was a steroid IV series that restored peripheral vision from no vision.
After two years of limited vision I took a supervised Field of Vision test then undertook a series of acupuncture treatment with Maureen to increase blood flow to the optic nerve.
After five weeks of treatment once a week, my vision improved 50%, obvious to me; documented by the subsequent Field of Vision test."

"Thank you, Maureen Goss. You are an angel! I never thought that my health problems could be fixed so simply. Acupuncture was my last thought and I got so much more out of it than I expected. You have changed my way of thinking about the possibilities of natural body healing. I feel incredible. Thank you so much."

"I am severely allergic to poison ivy. This summer I got it on my arms. For six weeks I was treated traditionally. I lived on Benadryl round the clock for the itch and swelling and I smothered my skin with topical ointments. It would not go away. Being a teacher, I knew I had to get rid of it by late August when school began. I would not be able to tolerate the "exhaustion" and "fogginess" from the Benadryl while trying to teach school. Since I always had positive results with acupuncture before, I decided to try it for this.
So, I made and appointment with Maureen. First, she inspected my tongue and took my pulses. I felt very much at ease with her suggestion that she could treat me with acupuncture and guasha. I think I was comfortable and confident because she was so comfortable and confident and she spent so much time explaining to me what was happening in my body. She said the poison ivy created a lot of heat in my body which she was going to release. Although Maureen was very confident that this could be easily treated, I must admit--I was a bit skeptical. After all, I had been fervently working on getting rid of it for six weeks!.
Suffice to say, Maureen was correct. The next day, the itch was gone. Within several days, the poison ivy was gone. It was amazing! It's with deep gratitude that I say Thank You."

"I have been to many chiropractors, done physical therapy, used pain drugs, and have had trigger point injections for the chronic neck pain I have had due to a serious accident many years ago. Nothing helped. I felt helpless.
The first time I had acupuncture with you it helped a lot! I don’t trust many people, but when you started treating me, I felt very comfortable and had a HUGE sense of hope that I could get over the chronic pain. You are very gentle and know a lot of different ways to make someone comfortable and not fearful of treatment. My muscle spasms eased.
It is nice to see that you really care about people. Thanks again for all your help."

"Thank you for the acupuncture treatments you have provided to me over the past four months. In terms of my medical history, I had a facial trauma sustained at the age of ten. I had stitches on my jaw and also, it affected the lumbar spine. I fell seven times, fractured my left hand, and have a rotator cuff tear on my left arm. From the falls, I also have a problem with the cervical spine. The last fall was on my face and I had to have stitches on my jaw again.
Despite having sought medical care with numerous health professionals in the past, I did not feel significant improvement until I began working with you. It has been tremendously helpful, and I intend to also pursue water therapy and further tai chi classes.
Again, many thanks for your assistance. "
