discover Personalized acupuncture in Meridian, Idaho that treats the root of pain, not just the symptoms
At Sage Mountain Acupuncture, we believe that healing is about more than relieving symptoms, it's about transformation.
Founded by licensed acupuncturist Kristin Planinz, L.Ac., Sage Mountain is a space where you're invited to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom.
Our work blends the time-tested principles of Chinese medicine with a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, helping you shift out of chronic stress patterns and into lasting wellness.
In a world that often treats symptoms in isolation, we walk a different path, one that honors the emotional and energetic roots of disease just as much as the physical.
We're a great fit for you if you are:

Licensed Acupuncturist | Nervous System Specialist | 22+ Years of Experience
I bring over two decades of clinical experience, and a lifetime of curiosity, to every treatment. People often come to me for help with pain,
stress, insomnia, or emotional burnout, but they stay because they feel seen, heard, and deeply supported.
What sets my work apart is my ability to recognize the emotional patterns and unprocessed thoughts that often lie beneath physical symptoms. I work intuitively and gently to clear the body’s energy pathways and calm the nervous system, allowing true healing to unfold naturally, deeply, and sustainably.
“I’m here to help you get out of pain, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your body.”
What To Expect
Our Philosophy
We take the time you need
Every session is grounded, efficient, and focused. Some visits are longer and some are quicker, but all are designed with intention.
We listen without needing the whole story.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, you don’t have to rehash everything to get relief. We tune into what your body is showing us and meet you there.
We hold space fully.
This isn’t a 10-minute drive-by. You’re not one of 12 people being treated at once. We create calm, connected care, even if on that day it only takes 30 minutes.
“I’m here to help you get out of pain, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your body.”
