Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in Oakland

Kirsten, I wanted to send you and official thanks for all your help this year!
I really feel the herbs and treatment are working beautifully. now that I'm taking the herbs regularly, I'm feeling so much better, calmer, less moody. -MM

As an acupuncturist myself, Kirsten is one of the few practitioners I seek my own treatment from. Her deep understanding of the medicine is profound, she has a caring bed-side manner and gentle touch, and she has countless pearls of wisdom to share. -PC

I'm convinced that Kirsten is a miracle-worker. I came to her with persistent migraines that had resisted all sorts of serious medications. Within a few months, Kirsten eased the pain and stopped the migraines from coming back. I was new to acupuncture -- and more than a little fearful of the needles. Kirsten was infinitely patient, oh so calming, and gentle with those little pointy objects. I'm so grateful to have discovered her practice.

Kirsten is a remarkable healer, thoughtful and deliberately she helped my menstrual cycles regulate, my stress levels ease and enhanced my overall well-being. -MF

For most of my adult life, I have suffered from severe and often crippling allergy attacks - constant sneezing, sore throats, headaches. Using treatments, dietary consultations and herbal prescriptions, Kirsten has helped me all but eliminate my allergy attacks. Even when an allergy attack is unavoidable, she has helped me lessen the duration and severity of the attack through use of herbs and acupuncture treatments. Being able to go outside without fear of a major sneezing fit has been liberating. -JS

Kirsten treated my mother with acupuncture for several months, with very good results. Kirsten seemed to have an instinctive knowledge of what would work for my mom and what would not, although I'm sure it was as much a result of her knowledge as of her intuition. She is very friendly, very gentle, and very caring. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking acupuncture. -LM
