Testimonials

I have received acupuncture treatments for over 10 years by a variety of acupuncturists, all wonderful, but the insight, awareness and results that I have experienced with Kristin was a notch above. I am a business owner and travel extensively. My treatments with her have always achieved a level of a quicker return to a sense of balance for me. I am also a “cancer” survivor that is indeed thriving; it has been of the utmost important to incorporate acupuncture treatments for my overall very intentional self care, health care program.

Kristin is a very caring and talented acupuncturist who also is educated in Chinese herbs to complement her treatments. My personal situation was one of crippling arthritis. My belief in energy work led me to Acupuncture and Kristin. With an evaluation she was able to suggest a treatment plan to relieve the pain, tightness, and strengthen all parts of my body. A combination of acupuncture needles placed perfectly, gently, lovingly, aromatherapy, oils, soothing sound healing and cupping. Within a few months I was feeling better than ever. I highly recommend Kristin she is an amazing acupucturist with so much knowledge.

Recently I suffered from what could easily be called the worst headache of my life. I have been no stranger to migraines for most of my adult life but this was definitely different in many aspects and no matter what I did I could not escape the relentless pain. Finally, in desperation, I contacted Kristin who has treated me successfully over the years for a variety of concerns including Rheumatoid Arthritis and severe digestive issues. But headache? No. never headache.

I explained my symptoms including the fact that this headache was left-sided, a new experience for me. Kristin asked me a number of questions and then instructed me to find a particular point on my ring finger and to press it HARD with my nail. I did so and yelped with surprise at the resultant pain. Kristin then asked if my head pain had abated. I had suffered for hours and did not think such a seemingly easy thing could produce such instant relief from pain. But as I was massaging my finger ( well, she said press HARD !!!) I realized that my headache was…………………nearly gone at that moment. Within less than an hour I was free from pain all together..

Kristin is a warm, caring, extremely competent acupuncturist whose goal it is to provide surcease from pain to her patients. If she doesn’t have an immediate answer for a question posed to her she will research until she comes up with one and then, thoughfully explain a course of treatment.

Before I sought treatment from Kristin, I was suffering from back spasms that were at times really agonizing. Through the use of acupuncture, micro current and chinese medicine I am now pain free. Kristin is professional, very knowledgeable and creates an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable experience. I always feel as though I am walking on air after one of her treatments!

I have had the privilege of having Kristin as my primary care practitioner for over five years now and I can honestly say that the level of health I am currently experiencing is due in large part to the compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough care Kristin has provided. There is no condition I have come to the table with, chronic or acute, that Kristin has not been able to address with acupuncture, herbs, dietary or life-style recommendations. Her wealth of knowledge, kindness, and non-judgmental, service-oriented approach creates trust in Kristin as a practitioner and trust in my own body’s ability to heal. Don’t wait until you’ve tried everything else. Life is too short! Go straight to the medicine that WORKS.

Working with Kristin has been extremely beneficial in reducing several of the nagging symptoms – including some significant pain – that I had been dealing with for years. I am ever so grateful to benefit from not only the top quality medical care she offers, but also from her aptitude to provide the caliber of compassionate health care I prefer as well. Thanks Kristin for helping me feel SO much better!

Kristin,

You have helped me so much that words can’t describe. I started working with you shortly before my complex migraines started. As soon as you found out what health complications were facing me, you came to my aid with such dedication and care it was remarkable. You saw me at all times that fit my schedule. Your advice and guidance as of what to do, what supplements to take, how to eat, and get to live the new chapter of my life are golden. You care about your patients with such dedication and devotion and it becomes a lot more than just a patient acupuncture relationship.

You truly never over loaded me with supplements, or too many things to do for my health. You truly customize the health program to me. I truly owe my health to you. Your dedication touched me and you truly healed me.

As far as your acupuncture abilities, I have been treated over the years by numerous practitioners, yours was the most sensitive and fastest response I have experience. I could feel the healing progress in my body almost after every treatment. Rare were the times I left feeling worse only to find shortly after that the treatment needed more time to heal.

Truly I don’t know where I’d be now health wise without your support and helping guidance. You are a vast source of health information.

Kristin, from the bottom of my heart, thank you again and again.

Acupuncture to me has become the means to having a productive, pain free life, and having Kristin to help me has made it all that much better.

I have realized that we are a community of people who need relief from the stress and pain of everyday life and chronic illness, and traditional medicine, though helpful, does not fill the whole need of the body and traditional Dr’s don’t have the time to offer 100% of the needs we have. What I have found in Kristin is all that and more. Kristin has been a listener to my heart and feelings and healer to my hurts and pains.

I have been very blessed in my life to have caring traditional medical care but I must say that having Kristin offer me alternative care has been the best thing to happen to me.

Thank you Kristin, I look forward to many more years of working with you.

Kristin is a gifted herbalist who understands that herbs are one complex, essential dimension of Chinese Medicine. Kristin knows that without an awareness of herbal therapy, the delivery of Chinese Medicine is incomplete. I struggle with persistent health issues including fibromyalgia, allergies and chronic, daily headache. Kristin’s treatments make me feel better in the moment as well as build my capacity for strength, function and pain management. She has an amazing ability to assess a complex situation, like mine, and break in down into manageable pieces. For example, during my first appointment she honed in on the fact I have struggled with digestive issues since childhood. I was always nauseated, bloated, and otherwise struggled to enjoy food. After a few weekly treatments with Kristin, my nausea was completely gone and my digestion was, finally, normal. Better still, Kristin empowered me to make better choices about what and when I ate, making me feel like I can enjoy all the foods I like without having to feel sick every time I eat. She truly used acupuncture to help me help myself. Acupuncture with Kristin is a productive, worthwhile investment in my present and future.

Acupuncture and Good Medicine changed my life!

One year ago I was on pain pills, anti-depression and anti-anxiety pills regularly. My doctors suspected fibromyalgia as well. I knew life was better than this, so I gave Kristin a call. Slowly and surely I am now off all medications and feel better than I have since I can remember. With steady treatments, vitamins and herbs, my life has been transformed. Kristin is a wonderful healer, she takes time to listen and gently guides toward a healthier lifestyle.

July of 2010 I was in a motor-vehicle accident involving myself and truck. When I say myself and a truck, I mean a Ford F-350 striking me while walking threw a crosswalk. As you can imagine I was in a great deal of pain after this event. My spine was shifted out of alignment, I had nerve pain/damage starting in my back and shooting down to my fingers causing me to lose strength in my arms, and muscle spasms so bad in my neck, back, and shoulder area I could hardly even move my neck from side to side or even raise my left arm over my head. I first met Kristin in February 2011 and fell in love with acupuncture instantly. After just one appointment I could already feel the nerve pain relief and was able to sleep more throughout the night. It’s almost been a year since I started my treatment and I can honestly say I’m almost back to 100%! I virtually have no nerve pain, the muscle spasms have mellowed allowing my range of motion back in my neck and shoulder joints, and I am rarely waking up at night due to my uncomfortable back pain and stiffnes. At this time I would just like to say thank you to Kristin for caring so much about me and my well being. Thank you so much for understanding my situation and being able to work with me. And thank you so much for introducing my life to the healing powers of acupuncture.

Kristin’s acupuncture facials are the best I have ever received. Once a month
I get a tune up and I am constantly told I look 10 years younger than my age.
Definitely a healthy safe approach to keeping wrinkles at bay!
