That experience inspired me to make acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine part of my personal health care and to become an acupuncturist myself. Within a year I had moved from Wisconsin to Portland, OR and started attending Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.

It has been seventeen years now since I graduated and every year of practice teaches me more and deepens my respect for this medical model and the resiliency of the human body.

"I was suffering from some chronic conditions including stomach problems, low energy and yo-yo-ing blood pressure and blood sugar. Kathy's acupuncture work and the herbs she chose to prescribe to me really helped to stabilize my health and I felt much better. Kathy is attentive and thoughtful in her approach. I highly recommend her work!"
