“I am so grateful to have found Kelly. Not only is her room a healing oasis, with the comfiest treatment table, heated lamps, soft blankets, natural lighting - her practice and intuition are so impactful. My body relaxes while I feel so safe, seen and heard and supported. I feel a deep sense of trust that she holds my body's needs with the highest regard. She truly cares and is also a wealth of knowledge.Thank you so so much Kelly. Highly recommend!!”Michelle A
“Kelly is as intuitive as she is kind. She uses her gift to not only address what is physically ailing you but work as well on grounding your nervous system and helping you recalibrate and find a sense of ease that lasts for days if not a week following a treatment. I originally went to her to deal with the acute pain of a TMJ problem and found overnight relief after having worked with her. But even when that problem subsided, I have been going back faithfully because she is just so settling to my system and general sense of wellbeing to my busy days. The icing on the cake is that her space is so inviting and full of warmth. You just feel like you're being hugged every time you walk in. I couldn't recommend working with Kelly more!!”Anya

Your path to renewed health
1. The first visit
You will be given a questionnaire to fill out that will help determine your diagnosis and treatment plan. We will begin with your health history and a complimentary treatment of either cupping, gut sha, or moxibustion followed by acupuncture.
2. Wellness plan
Many people start to see a significant difference within one to two treatments but some take longer to respond, especially if the condition is chronic. In this case, it’s recommended that you start with two treatments a week for two to four weeks to make the most of the cumulative benefits of acupuncture.
3. Maintenance
This step is key for preventing relapse: A treatment at least every two to four weeks is recommended. Acupuncture is also beneficial every change of season for immune and mental health issues. In the case of injury, seasons can play a dramatic role in relapse of symptoms.
