Acupuncture for Chronic Pain
We combine traditional acupuncture with Electroacupuncture Medicine (EAM) to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and restore movement. This treatment is designed to target deep-seated inflammation, nerve pain, and chronic conditions that limit your daily activities.
Best For:
Electroacupuncture Medicine (EAM)
Electroacupuncture is a powerful treatment that stimulates nerve pathways, supporting pain relief and nervous system regulation at a deeper level than traditional acupuncture alone. Using gentle electrical pulses, we activate your body's natural ability to heal while rebalancing the vagus nerve.
Best For:
Nervous System Reset & Trauma Recovery
Chronic stress and past trauma can keep your body stuck in fight-or-flight mode, leading to pain, fatigue, and emotional distress. This specialized acupuncture treatment helps rebalance your nervous system, supporting deep healing, emotional release, and long-term resilience.
Best For:
Essential Oils & Holistic Healing
Nature provides powerful tools for stress relief, immune support, and energy restoration. Our essential oil therapy sessions integrate custom blends with acupuncture and breathwork to support your body’s natural ability to heal.

I am a 58-year-old man who has suffered from back pain for over 20 years sometimes to the point of not being able to walk across a room. I sought out relief from chiropractic medicine, epidural injections and physical therapy and even consulted with a neurosurgeon. Then through the advice of a friend, I gave acupuncture an opportunity prior to surgery. After 2 sessions I was functioning again.
Acupuncture and the “idea of all those needles” may seem scary, but during most sessions I went to sleep and experienced very little to no discomfort compared to the great relief. It took several sessions each with longer lasting relief. I now have NO PAIN.
I have and would recommend acupuncture to anyone with chronic pain. Kristin was very professional, listened to my concerns and pain complaints and then went to work on resolving them. It was always a pleasure to visit with Kristin and feel better after a treatment.

I was looking for answers, hope, something besides traditional methods. I wanted all natural with only good side effects. That's when Kristin showed up in my life, and I was invited to an Essential Oil Class she was hosting. I trusted she knew what she was talking about since she was an Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbs were her expertise. But I knew I was NOT going to see her for acupuncture because I did not like needles and was very skeptical.
I started on the oils first and with great delight I was getting relief, but needed more tools to help my body recover. I had been in pain (low back and joints) 24/7 for months so I was willing to try everything at this point. After just one session I could feel the difference immediately and with each session I got better and better.
I love how Kristin can tune into your body using her experience in both oils and acupuncture for the best outcome possible. I do recommend Kristin for whatever health issues you may have, even if you think there is no hope and you have "tried" everything....

Kristin is a skilled and gentle healer. One of the things I love most about her is that she combines her own knowledge, intelligence, and skills with the guidance of the Spirit to guide her treatments. I've been suffering from chronic pain in my shoulder blade for close to 10 years. In two sessions with Kristin, the pain has almost completely disappeared. If you have suffered from chronic pain and haven't received relief from either traditional medicine or chiropractic treatment, give Kristin a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
