Chinese medicine combines both science and art; this ancient practice follows the natural changing of the seasons. Our bodies reflect what is happening in nature and are prone to imbalance as the seasons change. Utilizing Chinese and herbal medicine we can guide our bodies to find balance and optimal health by stimulating specific acupuncture points, using the practice of herbal medicine and the ultimate medicine, food.
Your initial visit will last between 90 to 120 minutes. There will be a detailed intake followed by a treatment. At the end of your visit we will discuss dietary and lifestyle recommendations, herbal protocols and dosage, and a detailed treatment plan. Your follow up visit will last 60 to 75 minutes.
How is your immune system holding up this year? This cold and flu season started off particularly rough and hasn't let up. If you have been able to ward off pathogens so far, keep up the good work, if not and if you're looking to boost your immune function for the remainder of the flu and cold season consider adding in more ginger to your diet!
Are you preparing for an IVF cycle? Whether you're just beginning the conversation with a reproductive endocrinologist at your fertility clinic or if you've already started stimulation medication, acupuncture can support you and improve your success rate. This can be a time of high stress and emotion, Chinese medicine can provide you with an extra level of support on many levels.
Have you seen this recent article from the Guardian on why it's unnecessary to have a period?
I saw a post responding to this article on instagram recently and immediately pulled up the article; at first glance I was annoyed and frustrated that someone could write something so misleading and as I sat with it I felt sad and disappointed for all the women who would read it and take it to heart thinking it is no big deal or of no consequence that they are on hormonal birth control thinking it will either "fix" their condition or remove the inconvenience of bleeding.

I am so grateful to have Kerry's support during my pregnancy. Kerry is intuitive, gentle, and full of wisdom. She always makes me feel seen and treats every symptom that I bring to her with empathy. As someone who has difficult pregnancies I have been so grateful for her non judgemental support. I also love that when she encounters something that she isn't fully versed in she immediately moves to learn more and shares her discoveries with me via email outside of our appointments. I am so grateful that Kerry is apart of our community and a resource for birthing people!

I am so happy my path crossed with Krystal's! She has been so incredible in helping me get more sleep throughout my pregnancy. I not only view her as my acupuncturist, but as a mom herself, someone I can share my feelings and thoughts with about motherhood. She listens, provides insightful advice and tips I can use throughout my pregnancy to help get through the tougher times. I highly recommend seeing her during your pregnancy to help with any ailments you may have."

Crystal's treatments are so on point and have helped me bring in balance- which has increased my patience, and overall resiliency with stress and relived physical pain in the my neck and shoulders. Her care and feminine grace brings me relaxation, and full trust. I highly recommend her work for women who are pregnant, or working with their fertility and Mothers, because she upholds Women's health and wellness with such devotion.

"My husband and I tried for two years to get pregnant and were starting to think we were going to have to take a medical approach to fertility. We really wanted to conceive as naturally as possible so we decided to try acupuncture. It only took two acupuncture treatments for us to conceive. Before we found out we were going to have a baby, I was slightly skeptical about the validity or effectiveness of acupuncture. Now I wish I had continued the treatments throughout pregnancy because during the last trimester I developed gestational hypertension. I now believe without a doubt that I would have

I immediately felt I could totally trust Krystal, and her gentleness and compassion are so nurturing. She did an amazing job getting rid of my upper back pain (that had lasted many days) using cupping in only one session! I really enjoy her acupuncture treatments and she totally listened to my request to do her amazing head and foot massage each time to help me relax and get into my body. All the lifestyle, food and supplement recommendations she gave me were solid (and I'm in grad school for health coaching and integrative nutrition). I highly recommend people check out Krystal's acupuncture practice

This was a truly unique acupuncture treatment, where I felt cared for and skillfully treated both physically and spiritually. Krystal is a true healer and attunes to levels beyond the physical symptoms. She provided a beautiful office environment which immediately began to allow me to relax and open. She then did a thorough intake in which I felt that I was really heard and seen. Her acupuncture was pain free and very effective. I left feeling reconnected to a part of myself that I had long forgotten...Thank You!

Krystal has such a gentle spirit and has been instrumental in my healing process, physically, spiritually and emotionally. I came in with a knee injury, back pain from a car accident several years ago and numerous other ailments. The acupuncture sessions with Krystal have helped minimize the knee and back pain and have treated other ailments along the way. I immediately felt a sense of connection and knew that Krystal was very knowledgeable and experienced in her work. She has helped me understand the connectedness of the energy throughout our bodies and during this process I have had spiritual
