Testimonials — In The Patients' Own Words"An orthopedic surgeon told me I needed both knees replaced. I'd already undergone bypass surgery, arthroscopic knee surgery (left and right), a hysterectomy, and partial removal of my thyroid — that was more than enough for me! A shiatsu practitioner told me to find a good qigong practitioner and shortly afterward I was introduced to Walter. The fact that he also practiced acupuncture was a bonus. I enrolled in an eight week class, but I avoided acupuncture — I just didn't see how sticking needles into my body could help. But when it came down to knives or needles, my decision was clear. Walter spent a great deal of time explaining how the principles of acupuncture and qigong worked and I grew more comfortable with the idea. I'm a regular golfer and my knees now give me very little trouble, but when they do, I realize it's my body's way of telling me to make that phone call, to pay attention to what's happening in my life, and to get back in for another appointment. Thanks Walter!" "Acupuncture with Walter Hayley was recommended to me by a friend who also suffered from chronic pain. After some intensive sessions, using both traditional acupuncture and some gigong, I began to get relief that no physician or therapist (there had been 27 in the last five years) had been able to achieve. I have even been able to discontinue taking prescribed anti-inflammatory medication which, though helpful, brought unpleasant side effects. I am not cured, I still need periodic treatment, but I am more relaxed and have a significantly improved quality of life." "Acupuncture and qigong have been a way of life for me for many years. I was having a great deal of difficulty walking and eventually found I had a muscle disorder, one with no cure. In fact, I was told it would more than likely grow increasingly worse. Now I am walking better than I thought would ever again be possible. My mind, body and soul have been renewed because of Walter and what he has shared with me through acupuncture and qigong. He is the best!!!" "I developed a little stomach problem and eventually went to the doctor. The doctor diagnosed a possible gallbladder problem. Further tests showed that my gallbladder was working at about one half of one percent, 0.5 percent! Not good. We agreed to wait a few weeks and then talk about having it removed. In Walter's weekly classes and during my qigong practice at home, I concentrated on my gallbladder getting better. My stomach began to feel better and after six months I had an appointment with a surgeon to discuss removing my gallbladder. I requested a follow-up test to determine the output of the gallbladder and, lo and behold, the test showed the output level had gone from 0.5 percent to 60 percent. Not full efficiency but good enough to stay out of surgery. Do you believe in 'mind over matter'? Or better yet 'mind over body'? I sure do!" "I have found Walter Hayley's acupuncture and qigong treatments to be very
beneficial on many levels. They have helped me overcome TMJ, digestion problems,
depression, mental confusion, and pain. The positive effects have been felt
on an emotional, and mental level, as well as physical. He takes the time to
explain the background of the treatment and I find his approach calm, patient,
and well-skilled. He educates me on how I can accelerate my own self-healing,
along with the treatments, for a truly holistic experience. Part of that self-healing
involves qigong classes which prove to be balancing, centering, and energizing
for me. I find his teaching style informative and relaxed. His sincere desire
to help us help ourselves is evident in all of his work." "Never have I met someone as giving as you. You have been a teacher, a healer,
and most of all, a friend. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incessant
generosity, kindness, and humor. You have provided me with knowledge that I will
keep with me for life, and taught me to have confidence in my ability to heal
myself." "I came to Walter's class with a neck problem and a quirky personality. Qi
Gong has completely cleared up my neck problem and Walter is still working
on the rest." "Both acupuncture and qigong have been absolute godsends for my sciatica, torn
rotor cuff, severe vertigo, and stiff neck. They're the only thing that have really
worked for me." "When I woke the next morning and there was no pain, I thought this is absolutely
wonderful." "I am happy to say that the results amaze me. Being pain free is super but enjoying
peace and energy in my body are at the top of the list of benefits." "I came to you very early in your career in Naples and had some acupuncture
while attending qigong classes all winter. I was having chemotherapy and was
severely stressed dealing with the whole thing — you helped me... I always
feel the connection of your helping ways... You presence was calming, especially
when I was in the storm of cancer." "I've had enough pain to last a few lifetimes. Walter, I always felt my
treatments with you were one of the most beneficial "meds" I had. I also want
you to know that I think you are one of the finest gentlemen I've ever had the
privilege to know. You are a kind and gentle person with a very generous soul. I
look forward to seeing you when I return in April." "I really hope this move to Savannah works out, but if it does, I will regret
not having gotten to know you all better at Dragon's Gate as you all are the
best thing in Naples and you, Walter, are the most kind, considerate, caring and
together person I think I've known. I'm not saying that to flatter you because I
don't say things to flatter people. Your skills are wonderful and I would
recommend your services to anyone and everyone. I will keep in touch." |
