- Testimonials
The pain in my neck and shoulder had been so bad for four months that I couldn’t even walk my dog. When drugs didn’t help, my doctor gave me a referral for acupuncture. Katarina told me that she thought her treatments would help and that I should be better in about eight weeks. She was right! Eight weeks later I was pain free and walking my dog.
Thanks, Kararina.

Katarina is my life safer. Severe back pain, she’s the only one that can kill it for periods of time. I will follow her wherever she goes!

She accommodates one’s request to be comfortable during the procedure. This is very important for me, as well. Due to my post operative spine condition, it’s always difficult for me to get comfortable lying down without proper props for under my knees. I surely am recommending her to my family and friends.

Used together thoughtfully and safely they’re often paired to help pain move from “sharp and guarded” to “dull and workable,” and then to “resolved or manageable.” continue reading
