I found out I had some fertility issues and she recommend doing acupuncture for fertility treatment. Doctors told me I had a very small chance of getting pregnant, after her treatment I was pregnant the following month! She has helped me with migraines, digestive issues, cold season, and much more.
I cannot recommend Karen enough! She is wonderful at what she does and I would not trust anyone else! I have been going to Karen for several months, so this review is a long time coming. She is an amazing, caring acupuncturist. She really takes her time to figure out what is going on in your body and mind, and only then proceeds with her treatment.

Applying acupuncture needles to particular points activates pathways that stimulate blood flow and the immune system. This effect will reduce inflammation, pain, and promote healing of the surrounding tissues. Therefore, acupuncture can be used to heal muscular injuries and improve the function of weakened systems such as: digestive, respiratory, and reproductive.
Your initial consultation and acupuncture session takes 75-90 minutes. Please complete and submit the new patient forms ahead of time or arrive 15 minutes early so there's sufficient time. During the session we'll discuss your chief complaints, health history, diet and lifestyle habits in detail. I'll then use diagnostic techniques from Chinese Medicine to select the best acupuncture points for your treatment.
Stress impacts digestion, immunity, and reproduction. Studies have shown stress speeds up the aging process, contributes to cardiovascular issues, increases risk of autoimmune diseases and causes digestive deficiencies. Acupuncture alters the body's experience of stress by triggering the release of hormones that relieve tension and worry, which regenerates our nervous system.
