I can’t say more positive things about my experiences with Bina. I had a pinched nerve that wouldn’t unpinch, and by the time I saw her, I had resigned myself to the fact that I MIGHT HAVE THIS FOREVER. Through about 2 months of cupping and acupuncture, my nerve COMPLETELY unpinched and I haven’t had to go back. I am so amazed and so grateful that my neck feels better. Thank you Bina! — Fiona C.
