White Lotus Acupuncture & Holistic Services

I’ve been seeing Kathleen to treat chronic neck and back pain resulting from a car accident. Before having acupuncture, I had tried numerous chiropractors, physical therapists, pain management injections, and was even recommended/​considering major surgery. For over two years, I was in pain every. single. day. and had major issues doing everyday activities. With Kathleen’s help, my life has completely changed for the better. Most days, I experience no pain. Some days I have minor aches and stiffness but am able to bounce back to a «no pain» state relatively quickly. I can do work and participate in normal social activities without worrying about how they will affect my neck and back (and without taking muscle relaxers and pain killers). She is very gentle and reassuring in her practice– helping not only through acupuncture but also by offering advice on nutrition, stretching, and exercise habits.

Great acupuncture sessions with Kathleen!

Kathleen is incredible! Over the past 3 years it seems as though I have suffered with one ailment to another. It started with wrist pain in 2008 and then a couple years ago the pain with my menstrual cycle started to become so unbearable I was losing sleep, missing work and had difficulty even getting out of bed! Just recently I started to become dizzy, nauseous and extremely fatigued. Also, my hands started to turn orange. And then a little over a week ago I ended up injuring my neck and now have a herniated C7 vertebra, plus I’m having issues with with my T6 on top of that. For every one of these conditions (except for my back) I went to my doctor, had different tests done and was told each time in a nutshell that I was fine regardless of how I was feeling! Needless to say, I have increasingly become more and more frustrated with traditional Western medicine. A couple months ago a friend of mind suggested acupuncture and through another friend I was highly referred to Kathleen. I could write all day about my experiences with Kathleen, but to sum it up, she has changed my life! With regards to my back alone, I had 4 sessions with a chiropractor, which resulted in very little relief and improvement. I had one session with Kathleen and I can move my neck like nothing ever happened! It is truly AMAZING! Plus, in that week in between the time of my injury to when I saw Kathleen, I was getting little to no sleep because I was in such pain. After my visit, I felt as though I had slept for years. I can’t tell you the last time that I felt this good and it is completely because of her. She is one of the most incredible people I have ever encountered and has a true gift for what she does!

I found White Lotus through Unilocal and figured the only review seemed pretty decent. Like Randa K, I also wanted to quit smoking after approximately 16 years of heavy smoking. In addition, both of my parents died (Dad at 53 and mom at 69) of cancers precipitated by cigarette smoking. I am 31 and had tried everything but Chantix. I was very skeptical, but went regardless. Katheleen was very professional and soothing, which put me at ease immediately. After we talked about the reasons I smoke, reasons to quit and what to expect, the hypnotherapy commenced. Today was my last (third session) and have not had a cigarette since day one (approximately a month ago). Furthermore, what has surprised me the most has been the lack of cravings. I expected the therapy would aid with how to react/​manage cravings, and not to virtually eliminate the thoughts of even smoking altogether. That is what has made this much easier than what I had anticipated. Highly recommend her and do not regret my decision to use hypnosis as a tool to stop this nasty habit.

I went to White Lotus to help myself quit smoking through hypnotherapy and acupuncture and was a little unsure what to expect. Kathleen was amazing — she put me at ease and we talked through it, followed by a hypnotherapy session. I didn’t go completely under, which is good apparently, and she gave me a CD of the session to listen to at home. A week later I haven’t even felt the need for a cigarette and I have 2 more sessions, which I think will cement this forever. I would highly recommend this holistic service…
