Krissi is the BEST!  She is more than accommodating with her busy schedule and very informative about all the work she does.  Her acupuncture has helped me get my life back!  My back pain was reduced with just three treatments and her bedside manor is awesome!
I will continue to see her and recommend anyone who has never tried acupuncture to start here first!

My Wife and I have had many great experiences.  We have had multiple Acupuncture treatments from Krissi with great results.  Not only is she very knowledgeable, but also real nice.  At this point we must have referred at least a dozen people to Krissi and everyone thanks us later.

I received Acupuncture by Krissi for a few different things and really enjoyed it! I definitely felt much better afterwards, I also really liked that she took the time to explain exactly what she was doing and why she was doing it! I will definitely continue treatment with her.

I was in and out of doctors offices for a year, I had missed my entire sophomore and junior years of high school due to my anxiety. A teacher and mentor of mine recommended I see her acupuncturist, just to see if it would help, as modern medicine just didn't seem to do enough. I have now been seeing Krissi for acupuncture and Herbs for over two years and now I feel I can finally live and move on in my life. As well, I have been inspired to study alternative forms of medicine in college to someday follow in Krissi's footsteps.
