Kristi Stoddard L.Ac. - Licensed Acupuncturist, Seattle WA

As a licensed Seattle acupuncturist and certified Chinese herbalist, my goal is to find the most gentle and effective way to alleviate your symptoms and make you feel better. Depending upon your condition, your treatment plan may consist of one or more acupuncture treatments, and if appropriate, the recommendation of a Chinese herbal formula that is prepared especially for you.

You are not alone if you do not like needles. You can be assured that acupuncture needles are not at all like the needles you are familiar with from the doctor's office, and the sensation is markedly different. When people first experience acupuncture, they are often surprised that a needle has even been inserted. A patient new to acupuncture will often ask, “You mean the needle is already in my leg? I didn’t feel it at all.” Even the most needle-shy people typically find an acupuncture treatment to be a pleasurable and relaxing experience.
