"I had wrecked on an ATV, breaking both my right wrist and foot. Along with the cuts, scrapes and breaks in my body from the accident, my personal life was in chaos, heaped with emotional stress. I felt horrible, in pain from the accident and anxious about my current life events.

"As soon as I saw her, Gloria gave me a hug and then began asking poignant questions that queried me as a whole system rather than studying only the bruises and broken bones. She then presented a plan to address my pain and healing. She offered immediate trauma treatment that flowed into the next day with acupuncture and herbal medicines.

"Three days later I flew to Oregon, armed with herbal tools. A doctor set my broken bones and expressed sheer amazement at my lack of bruising, tissue trauma or pain. The few areas untreated by Gloria bruised and swelled dramatically while the areas she had treated looked and felt nearly normal. My recovery exceeded my doctor's expectations."

"My husband and I were referred to Gloria Garland by our primary care physician, several months after a rear end collision that had left us both in terrible pain, in spite of ongoing physical therapy. Garland treated us twice a week for seven weeks with acupuncture and traditional herbal medicine. We were referred back to our primary care physician for reevaluation and consequently released from disability to return to our full time jobs."

"After a motorcycle accident I spent four months in a hospital with initially only a ten percent chance of making a recovery. After getting back home I spent months learning how to stand and walk again.

"When my advancements seemed to come to a halt with traditional medicine and physical therapy, I was still left with the challenge of balance and walking without a cane. I went to Dr. Blodgett in Oakhurst, seeking alternative medicine. He explained that my problems were the same as people who suffer from strokes. He referred me to Gloria Garland because of her advanced studies in acupuncture.

"Six months after I began weekly treatments with Garland, I could walk without a cane and cover two-and-a-half miles a day. The numbness in my back and leg continue to make a slow recovery, but now I am sure I will return to hiking the trails in the Sierra in summer."
