What inspired me to dedicate my life’s work to acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine was a profound personal experience: the treatment of my own asthma through these two therapies in my early twenties. At that time I was working in a corporate setting, but gradually became more interested in the wonders of Chinese medicine. This led me to complete the three-and-a-half-year long Master’s degree program in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz, California. This program integrated the practice of Chinese herbal medicine with acupuncture, a breadth of training that the majority of acupuncturists in Washington do not have. Although acupuncturists are not considered primary care providers in Washington, I bring with me the knowledge and experience of that designation from my training and additional licensure in California.

In order to create a healing environment, it is my intention to be thorough, honest, and gentle. It is important to me to not only address your unique health concerns, but also to improve your overall vitality. I want you to feel good: to have abundant energy, balanced emotions, and improved resistance to mild and severe illness. I recognize that healing is unique to each person, and so in partnership, I encourage you to be an active participant in the healing process.

TESTIMONIALS
 
“Having never been to an acupuncturist before, I was hesitant and wary prior to my first meeting with Kristi. Almost immediately upon meeting her, I was put at ease not only by her professionalism and knowledge, but also the passion she exhibited for the world of Chinese medicine. Her words showed the breadth of her knowledge, and her actions exuded confidence and approachability. With that comfort level established, we immediately began a course of treatment addressing my ongoing digestive issue. This course of treatment involved acupuncture, as well as a Chinese herbal tea remedy. Within a very short amount of time, this issue that had been plaguing me for several years seemed to come under control. I cannot truly express the positive impact this change has made in my day-to-day life. I am extremely thankful to Kristi and would highly recommend her services.” - Neil V.
 

“I appreciate how well Kristi listens and her attention to detail. She is patient and always shows a true concern in finding solutions. Kristi's treatments have made a noticeable positive impact on my health overall. I started seeing Kristi specifically for stress and sleep issues and the results far exceeded my expectations. Falling asleep and staying asleep has improved tremendously. I would highly recommend Kristi's services to anyone!” –Dan C.

“My first acupuncture experience was with Kristi and I could not imagine going to anyone else!  She is kind and compassionate and has a way of putting you at ease, even if you are nervous (which I absolutely was).  After her treatments, I always leave feeling great-- calm, relaxed, and happy.  In fact, I usually feel better as soon as I walk into her office, which is peaceful, comfortable, and immaculately clean.  One of the things I love the most about her is that she looks at the big picture and tailors each treatment to your unique needs.  I can't say enough great things about Kristi.” –Ashley A.
