TESTIMONIALS FOR KRISTI
“With sleepless nights, daily unrelenting hot flashes, and incredibly difficult and irregular menstrual cycles I went to Kristi, who had been recommended to me. At my first appointment with her, I felt heard, and that I was in capable hands. With compassion and understanding, she normalized what I was experiencing. That alone was so incredibly comforting. Over the course of several visits, my menopausal symptoms greatly reduced. I felt more in control of my body, and the few symptoms that I occasionally experienced were manageable. Three years later, I still see Kristi regularly, sometimes for managing minor menopause symptoms but mostly to help maintain balance. Kristi is warm, welcoming, incredibly professional, and puts you at ease. I can’t imagine what my life would have been like during that time without her help.”

“Kristi is a wonderful practitioner: an insightful diagnostician, with gentle needling skills and an extensive understanding of Chinese herbs. I have seen her for several years now and I refer my own patients to her as well. Each of us have valued and benefitted from her expertise. I always know when I refer my patients that they will be well cared for, just as I have.”
— Krista H.
“After three years of infertility, I finally tried acupuncture. Kristi came highly recommended. She asked a lot of insightful questions, and put much thought into an individualized treatment plan for me. After trying nearly everything else, I was initially skeptical about spending the time and money, but it was so worth it. I’m glad to say I am now the mother of a healthy baby boy, and Kristi’s thoughtful treatment was a part of the success.”
— Laura F.
“I have been to Kristi for so many things over the years! She has helped with headaches, sore joints, colds, sinus infections – you name it. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
— Julie C.
“I appreciate how well Kristi listens, and her attention to finding solutions. I started seeing her specifically for stress and sleep issues and the results far exceeded my expectations. I fall asleep and stay asleep so much better now.”
— Dan C.
“I feel grateful to have met and worked with Kristi both on back pain and in preparing my body for pregnancy. In both cases, I enjoyed feeling that I was taking the time to do something positive for my health and well-being. During the time we worked together, my back pain improved and I became pregnant. I was also going through an emotional time following the death of my father and Kristi’s sensitivity and care for mind, heart, and body were incredibly helpful. Kristi effortlessly blends compassion and professionalism. Fourteen years later, I went back to Kristi for help with perimenopausal mood swings and hot flashes. I have always felt I am in good hands with Kristi, and am very grateful.”

“I had knee replacement surgery and was looking for inflammation and pain management. Kristi helped with both. I am in my mid-50s and very physically active, and wanted to get back to working out as I wanted. I had never tried this kind of treatment before and with each week I improved, getting me closer to my former, active self. She is professional, knowledgeable, and I feel very comfortable with her.”
— Tracy C.
“At age 40, I had been trying to conceive a third child for 4 years with several fertility treatments, and no success. I have two healthy children and had no issues getting pregnant before, so we expected an easy road for #3. I was losing hope and time. Kristi listened, understood my situation and developed a natural treatment plan for me. My sessions guided me to become healthier overall, and I began to feel more relaxed about my circumstances. After 7 months of treatments, I became pregnant!”
— Katie B.
“When trying to conceive, I realized that I was likely not ovulating. About 48 hours after an acupuncture treatment with Kristi intended to promote ovulation, it occurred and we conceived. Kristi took a thoughtful, compassionate approach to my treatment and I feel lucky to have had her help in 2004. Since then, I have seen her for treatment whenever I am stumped about a health issue. She is so smart and effective with acupuncture and herbs. Treatments are a relaxing refuge and I always emerge feeling wonderful. My husband, daughter, and mother- in-law have all been to her for treatment as well.”
— Tera S.
“I can’t say enough kind and credible things about Kristi! I have been a patient for 3+ years and recommend her to anyone I know. My initial reason for seeing her was to give my body the best possible chance to conceive naturally. Since seeing her I have given birth to a healthy baby girl and have another on the way. You don’t need to have fertility issues to see Kristi. She even helped me get rid of a nagging sinus cold with one treatment!”
— Amy O.
“I came to Kristi with a variety of health problems, including asthma, menstrual issues, digestive issues, and joint pain. My treatment included acupuncture and Chinese herbal pills and teas. I have a very sensitive system, and Kristi did an excellent job selecting herbs that were gentle and not irritating, and that worked with the medications I take. My health continued to improve over the year I worked with Kristi, before I moved out of state. I’m very thankful for Kristi’s support and for her treatments!”
— Mariah M.
“I’ve experienced debilitating menstrual pain where I couldn’t be out of bed for the first two days of my cycle. After my first visit, and one month of herbal remedies, I felt a profound shift. After 2-3 months of treatment my cycle shifted significantly for the better. Currently, I can work during my menstrual cycle, hormonally I feel more balanced, my general PMS and cramping has drastically decreased. I’m so grateful to Kristi, for her healing work and knowledge.”
— Heidi B.
“I came to Kristi for help with terrible insomnia. Through her acupuncture and Chinese herbs I was able to get back to healthy sleep! About a year later I returned when I had been trying to conceive. I am now happily pregnant with twins! I am so thankful for her help.”
— Illana
“My first acupuncture experience was with Kristi and I could not imagine going to anyone else! She is kind and compassionate and has a way of putting me at ease, even if nervous (which I absolutely was at first). After her treatments, I always leave feeling great – calm, relaxed, and happy. In fact, I usually feel better as soon as I walk into her office, which is peaceful, comfortable, and immaculately clean. One of the things I love the most about her is that she looks at the big picture and tailors each treatment to my needs. I can’t say enough good things about Kristi.”
— Ashley A.
”After years of feeling like I was getting worse with fibromyalgia, with Kristi’s help I am getting better. After four months of treatment, my leg and shoulder pain is significantly improved, I feel a sense of joy and hope that had been absent, I am sleeping better, and I have energy to get through the day. I am continuing treatment, and believe I can return to my active self. It’s such a shift in my outlook, and I am so grateful!”
— C.L.
“I came to Kristi feeling discouraged and hopeless after failing to sustain early pregnancies. Kristi provided a safe and nurturing environment coupled with skillful clinical care. She normalized my anxiety and maintained a hopeful stance. Again, I became pregnant but this time the outcome was different. Throughout my pregnancy, Kristi masterfully partnered with me to provide excellent care. I looked forward to our visits which also served as reassuring focal points throughout my 41 weeks of pregnancy. At approximately 37 weeks, Kristi’s treatment enabled my breech baby to move into the correct position. This transition allowed me to have a successful vaginal delivery with no medical intervention. Today, our son charms and delights. We are so grateful for Kristi’s dedication and compassion.”
— Abigail A.
“During our first visit, Kristi was the first and only medical professional ever to study the basal body temperature charts I had been keeping monthly for several years. She was the one who noticed that the first phase of my menstrual cycle was quite long. Thus, the typical 7 day ovulation test kit wouldn’t pick up my LH surge. Genius! We then worked on normalizing my menstrual cycle and preparing my body for conception using acupuncture and Chinese herbs. After receiving excellent care and finally conceiving, I decided to stick with Kristi for my entire pregnancy. Throughout our sessions, she demonstrated her expertise time and time again with compassion and understanding. I am indebted to Kristi, not just for helping me conceive, but for helping me have a healthy pregnancy, and today, a beautiful, healthy young boy.”

“Kristi follows a truly holistic approach in her treatment. She is incredibly compassionate and personal yet never lacks thoroughness in her research and preparation. She always went the extra mile, providing me with materials and different treatment options.”

After trying unsuccessfully for over a year to get pregnant, we went to my gynecologist for help. She suggested several things, including a referral to Kristi. I had never tried acupuncture but was willing to give it a go. I started seeing Kristi and she prescribed a combination of acupuncture and herbal remedies. Kristi was very thorough in her work with me. She took an extensive history and closely monitored my body’s response to the treatments she was giving me, making changes as needed. After 4 1⁄2 months of treatment we found out we were pregnant, and I am now in my last trimester! Working with Kristi was very easy. She was extremely sympathetic to our situation and the emotions involved in trying to get pregnant, took time to explain what she was doing. I highly recommend her services to anyone.”
— Julie H.
“I came to Kristi having severe difficulties with hives. I’ve seen dozens of doctors and been on myriads of medications without effect. Within two sessions, Kristi had halved the number of hives I got and within a month they were under control again. Her acupuncture treatments and herbal formulas work. Plus, she has a lovely, relaxing facility. I continued to see her for general wellness, and then as I was trying to conceive, and after an early miscarriage. I got pregnant again, and saw her throughout my successful pregnancy. I recommend her to anyone looking for an acupuncturist.”
