Karen came highly recommended by a colleague at work, and even though it meant I would need to travel about 1-2 hours for my appointment, I decided to go see her. Trust me, it was SO worth the drive! I have scheduled two appointments at her Seattle location, and one at the West Seattle office, and every visit with Karen has brought great relief right away. I had some chronic issues with a rash, also a raging yeast infection as well as neck and back pain. I was very pleased to experienced relief in all areas from my visits. Immediately when you enter the treatment room with Karen, there is a sense of calming, as she asks you to slip off your shoes for a wonderful foot soak while she gathers information from you. Karen's skills in acupuncture and cupping are the best that I have experienced! And her knowledge & vast array of training opportunities has formed her into an amazing practioner with very unique and special abilities & wisdom. I am SO very thankful to have received the recommendation for Karen when I did. I will continue to make the drive from far up North to see her, it is definitely worth it!
