I first came to Kara when 7 months after a miscarriage and 2 years of trying to conceive my husband and I were very discouraged. We had been to a fertility clinic where no problems were found, other than my age of 39 years. I just couldn’t believe that they were not able to give us a solution other than medication with strong side effects, or the more invasive and costly IVF. We sought out a more natural approach, based both on cost and perceived health benefits. Kara was able to turn things around with changes in diet and lifestyle, acupuncture treatments, and the addition of herbs and vitamins. We are now happily expecting our first child! Not only were we able to conceive, but I feel younger, stronger and more positive about my health than ever. Kara was gentle, patient, and thorough in her approach. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with similar issues.

I arrived at Kara’s office a mess: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and a very swollen thyroid. An endocrinologist wanted to remove my thyroid, and condemn me to a lifetime on medication that gave me high blood pressure and a fast heart rate.
Kara set about to treat the autoimmune condition at the very root of the problem. Combining acupuncture with her extensive knowledge of nutrition and diet, and an eye on the latest research, she restored my thyroid levels to a healthy range, and gave me back my health. I look and feel better than I have in years, all without any medications! And some bonuses too: I lost weight, and my allergies have almost disappeared. Most astonishing is how little time it took: under two months!
I see Kara infrequently now, and it’s only been five months since my first visit. Kara is kind, competent, effective, and honest; she responds quickly to emails. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

For many years I have suffered from major menstrual cramps, to the point that I have almost passed out a few times. My friend had referred me to Kara since she went there for the same problem and had positive results from her. I was reluctant to go at first, however after taking different medication for so many years, I wanted to try something different that would help me. On my first visit to her office, I was extremely impressed from the start; from the very first time she greeted me, Kara made me feel very warm and relaxed with her friendly smile and calm demeanor. She was very professional and thorough; she really took the time out to figure out what plan was best for me.
I have only used her services twice so far, but the results have been amazing! It may be hard to believe, but after the first session I felt a major improvement already. I can honestly say from my experience, that the last time I had my period, I didn't even realize it, because I didn't feel any cramps! I was shocked myself. This was actually the first time since I was 14 years old that I did not have to take any medication to relieve my menstrual cramps, and I am now 30! Kara, I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me and for all of your help. My only regret is that I didn't find you earlier in life; My quality of life has improved remarkably! May God bless you and all the work that you do for others.

A little over two months ago I became the victim of the dreaded "Shingles." Well, I was delighted. The actual Shingles weren't that bad, but the "Post Herpetic Neuralgia", which left me drained, was another story. A friend recommended that I go to see
Eating was difficult for the past seven years as I had experienced such severe Gastroesophageal Reflux symptoms that even lifestyle changes such as exercise and the use of prescribed medications did not resolve my digestive ailments. I would develop heartburn after most meals and could not socialize without feeling bloated and uncomfortable through the night. I knew it was important to conquer this naturally without the use of medications so the past five years have been a rollercoaster ride of dietary restrictions and a sense of frustration that my condition did not improve on its own.
Melissa R,
I came to Kara with a severe digestive problem. I had my gallbladder removed to help but I fell into the 10% that don't get results from the surgery. Kara took me through a gentle process that has completely transformed my life. I say 'gentle process' because she took things at my pace and worked within my comfort level. After the first month, I felt so much better and after 10 months, I have no digestive issues whatsoever and I feel like I have my life back. I've changed what and how I eat – and I've never felt better. Kara is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and she really cares. I'm a bit sad that I am cured because I will miss seeing her every week!
Jodi Murphy,
Initially, I sought out acupuncture to alleviate my winter allergies. Little did I know how comprehensive it is to calm down/alleviate symptoms of other maladies I was experiencing. Kara was very thorough in her inquiry of other ailments I was experiencing. I was a little forgetful due to experiencing "foggy brain" due to my peri-menopausal symptoms for the past 2.5 years. With this "wonderful" change of life, there have been many changes among those: hot flashes, forgetfulness, sleeplessness, lack of energy and...decreased libido. Not fun!
For me, after my very first treatment, I no longer experience hot flashes at any level; sleep soundly; my

Kara creates a wonderful environment that helps the patient work towards optimum health. I have been under the care of six different acupuncturists in the past 15 years and she is my favorite. Well versed in both nutrition and acupuncture, Kara provides the following things to her patients: Ample time and attention during appointments--I never feel rushed or pressured. Handouts, e-links, and emails to keep the patient informed and connected. Email contact--I can email a quick question or symptoms/progress and she communicates when appropriate over email. Willingness to treat whole person--nutrition, mental, and physical. She is very patient and genuine and I have had great health success since seeing her.
