I recently started to see Kathy monthly, and I wish I could go more often! I get so excited because it truly feels like an escape. I love that she addresses quite a few concerns at one time and will tell you what points correlate with what you're working on. I especially appreciate she's so adaptable if there is a tender spot you can't quite handle yet. I love this so much because it is the closest I have ever come to meditation and the most relaxed hour of my month. Stress, anxiety, and fear melt away under Kathy's care.

I have been seeing Kathy Nordgren for several years for everything from lower back pain to allergies to foot pain. She's an experienced practitioner who listens to you, asks questions and designs a plan for you. I recently had a session that made a world of difference in my pain level and I am so grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.

I was in a serious car accident several months ago and was referred to Kathy for acupuncture. Kathy is very skilled in her craft and also is incredibly kind, professional and present with every session. I have had tremendous results in pain relief and anxiety from my time with her. She is really invested in the healing of her clients and she really listens and then applies her knowledge with much love and skill. After leaving a session with her I always feel incredible. I am so grateful I found her healing skills. Having her treat me has also lead to favorable results in other areas of my health

I saw Kathy for the first time two weeks ago. I had been having frequent and excessive hot flashes for months that were interfering with my sleep and leaving me tired, irritable, and unable to concentrate. After the first treatment, the hot flashes were far less frequent and would fizzle out after 2-3 minutes (I was previously having them every hour or two and they would last 15-20 minutes). After my second treatment last week, my hot flashes are GONE. I can hardly believe acupuncture worked so well and so quickly! Kathy is extremely gentle and thorough, the treatments aren't painful, and
