Kimen is a truly exceptional massage therapist. He is a problem solver and is committed to fixing his clients' problems. Kimen is incredibly hard working and ensures that every client he sees gets his full attention and his full effort. I highly recommend Kimen to anyone who has a persistent injury that other therapists cannot seem to figure out, or anyone who would like to stay injury-free.

Patricia encouraged me to try consistent acupuncture for my sleep issues, and it has worked! I had tried acupuncture twice before for sleep difficulties, so I was hesitant, but I followed her protocol and am sleeping well again! And the needles were completely painless, which isn't always the case the for me.....apparently its due to the quality of the needles! Thanks so much Patricia!

I have really been feeling rough the past few weeks. Went to see Patricia for a little TCM pick me up. It wasn't until the next day when I was out walking that I suddenly realized I felt WAY better. No more… pain, no more racing pulse, no more feeling like I couldn't raise the energy to move! I felt revived, energetic, and enthusiastic. Thank you Patricia for your wonderful ability to cure! Your very skilled hands and energy, caring nature and calming personality have made all the difference.

Patricia Petersen was just BRILLIANT at diagnosing and treating a digestive issue that I had for YEARS. No one was able to support me in healing from it the right way. Patricia had a handle on it immediately and has continued to be supportive. Amazing service and highly knowledgeable and with a gift for truly connecting :-)
