The traditional medicine of China is based on regulating the energy of our body with the environment in which we live. Constant change is normal. As women, we experience change throughout our lives with menarche, pregnancy, birth and menopause. Our bodies are always changing and maintaining balance among the change can be difficult in our daily lives.
Each year more and more insurance plans cover acupuncture. Many individuals often believe they do not have any coverage and pleasantly surprised when they find out they have coverage for some of our services. Verification of benefits is tricky and one must ask the right questions and have the correct diagnosis and procedure codes available when calling an insurance company.
Karla provided me with all the help and guidance I needed to get through my battle with Plantar Fasciitis without surgery or steroids. By exploring the whole being, and not just my feet, she discovered needs I didn't know I had. Through a combination of several different types of treatment, ranging from acupuncture and magnet treatments to herbal supplements and more, Karla was able to bring me relief in a way I didn't know was possible.

Karla is a miracle worker!
I have been living with chronic pain for 26 years from neck, back, and fractured hip injuries incurred while serving in the army. The pain has been getting worse over the last 2 years since I turned 60. Last year a new VA Physiatrist, Dr. Terry Griffith felt that I might benefit from acupuncture treatment since I also… suffer from fibromyalgia as a result of the hip and nerve injury.
Within 3 treatments from Karla she was able to reduce severe tenderness & pain around my mid-spine & I was able return to work after being on a 2 month medical leave due to

Karla is so professional and personable. It is like being treated by your best friend. She truly cares about your health and comfort level during your appointment. I was so relaxed I think I feel asleep a few times. My son, husband, and I have all been treated by Karla. We all love her. She truly loves what she does. Would recommend her 100%!

I was experiencing sinus congestion and migraines, wheeziness and general dis-ease with my respiratory system when I first went to Karla. I had also experienced a loss in my family and there was a lot of grief and sadness that my body was holding on to. I felt relief from the first visit - my congestion is considerably lessened, just an… occasional mild headache and I feel happier with a lot more energy. My nightly foot and leg cramps are gone for the most part and my overwhelming addiction to sugar is in check and I make better food choices.
Karla is extremely knowledgeable and is so patient
