Holistic Skeptic to Believer

I want to start out by saying that prior to my experience with Kathleen I was the type of person who would have laughed at the idea of someone doing Holistic medicine. Kathleen has turned the skeptic in me into a believer. I started seeing Kathleen to help with infertility. She has helped on this front, but also helped with other issues I have been dealing with. One of the ones we have made the most improvement on is my allergy like symptoms (post nasal drip/congestion). In the past I was told by western medicine doctors that I should use nasal spray X, but not much could be done. After starting acupuncture and diet coaching with Kathleen, I have seen significant improvements. I will say, this is not an quick fix, it has required diet changes and work on my end as well, however it is well worth it. Both my wife and I see Kathleen and I would recommend her to anyone. She tailors every treatment to ones unique circumstances. She is open and upfront so I recommend that if you have questions or are unsure just make an appointment and have a conversation with her. - Mike

Thanks for Holistic Approach and Acupuncture

"Having being seen by Kathleen for acupuncture for infertility, I am amazed by how my life has changed. She has changed not only my energy and body, but also my mind. She has positively challenged me to be the best person I can be and to focus on my whole self. Kathleen takes a holistic approach that I haven't experienced at other providers and I cannot thank her enough for teaching me important life lessons."- Anon, 2015

 

Holistic Coaching and Acupuncture for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Infertility  

"I have been seeing Kathleen for three years now and can't express how grateful I am for her as an acupuncturist, spiritual guide, life coach and friend. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through the past several years without her - between going through fertility treatment, multiples losses, surgeries, crazy hormone fluctuations and ultimately pregnancy and postpartum, she has been such a huge source of support. I have walked in her office at rock bottom physically, spiritually and emotionally and she has an amazing gift of healing and grounding. Also, as an added benefit, past seasonal allergy symptoms have all but disappeared. I can't recommend Kathleen enough!" -Kendra​

Fertility IVF Success with Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture
"I had tried IVF twice and we were unsuccessful both times. We had enough money and embryos for one last try when our physician suggested I try acupuncture. I started acupuncture with Kathleen in May of 2007. I was unsure about the procedure, but thought I would give it a try. After just a few sessions I was feeling better and the side effects of all the hormones were less. I thought by the end of June, 'This just might work.' I kept up with the diet restrictions and vitamins suggested. On July 7th we transferred our last four embryos, had acupuncture – then prayed and waited. Two weeks later we had our pregnancy test. It was finally positive. Two weeks after that I saw our son's heartbeat for the first time on ultrasound. The pregnancy went smoothly and we delivered a healthy boy at 37 weeks on March 6, 2008. Thank you, Kathleen for being an integral part of bringing us our boy. He is a joy and we are grateful for everything you did." -SH

Acupuncture for Infertility Unique and Supportive

"I have been working with Kathleen for almost a year as part of my fertility journey.  Although I am still in the midst of this journey, Kathleen has helped me so much in many aspects of my life.  My original intention when going to see Kathleen was to receive acupuncture treatments, which I have found Kathleen is very talented at.  After each acupuncture appointment I feel very relaxed and refreshed.  Each acupuncture treatment is unique based on your needs at the time. However, after my first appointment with Kathleen I realized that I was going to get so much more out of my appointments than acupuncture.  Kathleen gets to know you and treats all aspects of your life – diet, exercise, lifestyle habits, and mental and emotional health.  A visit with Kathleen is like seeing a therapist, nutritionist, and acupuncturist all in one. At each appointment she takes the time to talk with you to see how you are doing.  I never feel rushed like I do in a doctor’s office.  Kathleen puts a lot of effort into getting to know you personally.  She is so in touch with me that sometimes I think she knows more about how I am feeling than I do. Kathleen has helped me become a better person overall, beyond my fertility issues.  She has helped me learn to listen to myself, taught me breathing techniques, and helped me manage stress.  Kathleen truly cares about the well-being of each person that she works with." -AM, 2018

 

Second Time with Infertility but Now Pregnant and Connected to Baby

"I wish I had met Kathleen when I was struggling with infertility the first time.  However, I met Kathleen when I was struggling with infertility the second time and felt quite hopeless.  I was having issues with prescription fertility medications and felt that time was running out and that IVF was going to be my only option.  Kathleen helped me transform negative and hindering thoughts such as age, egg supply scores, etc.  One of the most helpful things she said to ease my anxiety was that “babies come when they are ready”.  This statement was so powerful and transforming for me. It really helped me let go and stop trying to control everything which is a struggle for me.  Kathleen has so many useful tools and is highly skilled, empathetic, honest and knowledgeable.  She has a very special gift.  Also, I can’t put into words how amazing it is to make a connection with your baby who hasn’t been conceived yet.  I am happy to report that I am 5 weeks pregnant!  Thank you Kathleen for everything you did for me and my family." - BP 2017

Healthy Baby Boy and Mother after Multiple Miscarriage

"When I first met Kathleen, my primary concern was fertility. I had suffered two miscarriages within a year time frame. Kathleen was a true Godsend.  She took a lot of time with me, and listened. She not only understand what I was struggling with, but also had the ability to provide me with an explanation that made sense to me. I started to feel as though I had some control over my body, and that one day I would carry a pregnancy to term. After I started to see her for acupuncture, she began to make diet recommendations. I will admit, this was the most difficult for me to do, but once I started making the recommended changes I started to see a vast improvement in my symptoms. She prescribed some herbs which did help with some of the diet changes.  Also, Kathleen encouraged me to use different types of oils, and meditation, and energy work to help manage other pain and mood symptoms.  I use all of these tools to this day. Kathleen helped me to reconnect with my spiritual side. I no longer felt I was on this journal alone. I started to open myself up more to my angels, and I learned more about my life path. I began noticing changes in my mind, body and spirit. Toward the end of my work with Kathleen, I was off all medications, sleeping through the night, and feeling more healthy than I ever have. Most importantly, I did carry a pregnancy to term. I now have a little boy who means the world to me. I truly believe I owe this to Kathleen. Unfortunately, we had to move away. So, I no longer am able to see Kathleen. I am hoping to try for another baby soon, but am nervous to do it without Kathleen. If you are fortunate to live in Kathleen’s area, I hope you seek her out if you are struggling with any of the issues I mentioned above.  She is one of a kind, and your life will be forever changed." - HB

 

Struggle is Over After Recurrent Miscarriage
"Kathleen has been instrumental in helping me get my life back. After years of struggling to conceive, then multiple miscarriages, and switching between different prescription medications, she suggested hormone and gastrointestinal testing. The results that came back helped to explain why my body wasn’t functioning optimally and why I had been exhausted for so many years. Under Kathleen’s care and individualized treatment plan, I feel better than I have in years and have hope again that I can live life to the fullest and someday have a family of my own. [Note: 14 months later she gave birth to a healthy baby boy] Kathleen’s expertise, along with her encouragement and concern about my well being, has helped me to begin healing." – Kristy

 

Progress and Successful Pregnancy after Miscarriage
"I received my first treatment from Kathleen one morning after I started spotting 6 weeks into my pregnancy. Her quiet reassurance and professionalism were as instrumental as the acupuncture needles in calming my nerves, and helping me to believe that everything was okay. She is a perfect fit to the caring, supportive atmosphere that is an integral part of the treatment. Six weeks later, I'm delighted to say that my pregnancy is progressing wonderfully, and I continue to see Kathleen for my first trimester weekly appointments when my schedule allows." - SV



Natural Cycle and Pregnancy after Birth Control

"After several years on birth control my husband and I decided I would go off the pill so we could start our family. Four months after going off of the pill I still had not gotten my period. My doctor gave me progesterone and said this would "re-start" my cycle. After several months and attempts to get my cycle re-started and two rounds of Clomid, I had not become pregnant or gotten a period naturally. I turned to Acupuncture and was lucky enough to be placed with Kathleen. After less than thee months of seeing Kathleen, I got my period naturally and was pregnant the next month with my beautiful baby girl! Kathleen not only got my cycle back on track, but she also provided emotional support and guidance on how to live a healthy life. I am confident that without Kathleen's help I would have resorted to fertility treatments that were not necessary. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Kathleen for helping me through my pregnancy process!" - ST

Success with Acupuncture after Recurrent Miscarriage
"After suffering repeated miscarriages I decided to open myself up to alternative treatments. When I first decided to try acupuncture I was unsure of what to expect, or if it would help. Kathleen Stoneman was very informative as well as compassionate and caring regarding my situation. Right away I felt hopeful after meeting with her. She educated me not only about acupuncture, but also about other things I could modify in my life to help achieve and maintain a healthy body and pregnancy. I spent several months following her instructions and doing acupuncture treatments. Soon after I discovered I was pregnant. Her care and attention throughout the whole process was a great support for me. I continued to have regular acupuncture appointments throughout the pregnancy. Kathleen always treated me based on what I was experiencing at the moment - everything was customized to my situation and me. She also spent a great deal of time with me trying to make sure that she addressed what was needed. I felt cared for on both on a physical and emotional level. I feel so indebted to Kathleen for her care during this challenging period of my life. The result was a healthy and beautiful baby girl. I never could have gotten to this place without Kathleen's care. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathleen to anyone who is facing fertility issues or any other type of health issue." - EF

Acupuncture On-Site for IVF Transfer Calms & Comforts Traveling Client

"Kathleen was referred to me by the Wisconsin Fertility Institute for additional support for the day of my transfer.  Traveling from out of town didn't allow for us to meet and work with one another until the time of our appointment, but that didn't stop me from having one of the most transformative experiences to date!   From our very first contact, Kathleen's professionalism impressed me.   Her streamlined business processes (prompt return call, online scheduling & clear instructions) went above and beyond my expectations.  During a time that is emotional and stressful, compounded with the frustration of commuting several hours from out of town, Kathleen's demeanor and compassion were such a comfort for me.  I was a bundle of nerves before my transfer but the hour that Kathleen and I spent together changed everything and allowed the calm me to resurface!  She was sensitive yet focused.  Her attention to the ambiance (dimming the lights, playing relaxation music and covering me with a blanket to keep me warm) was greatly appreciated as it all was pivotal to the success of the acupuncture treatment.  Her guided meditation allowed my mind to let go of any fears and insecurities, any self-judgment or pain that I was holding onto in order to make space for positivity and goodness which is so critical, especially during this time!   Her presence, kindness, calmness & expertise completely shifted my experience  and I am beyond grateful.   I cannot imagine my transfer without the assistance and tools provided by Kathleen.  And the fact that she comes directly to the Clinic is such a bonus!  I would recommend to any women who is living with fertility issues, whatever they may be, begin a relationship with Kathleen immediately.   My only regret is that I don't live in the same town!   She is truly a gem."  –Jenni Jo, Wausau, WI in July 2014

Fertility, Emotional Support and IVF Success
"I highly recommend Kathleen. For our second pregnancy, my husband and I had to use IVF after failed IUI attempts. A few friends highly recommended supporting our efforts with acupuncture. Through regular visits and Kathleen's expertise and emotional support we are happy to say that IVF worked on the first try. I continued to visit Kathleen during my first trimester to support the pregnancy, as well as the final weeks of the pregnancy. We have a beautiful baby boy now and can't say enough about the experience I had with Kathleen." - SW

IVF & Headache Support with Acupressure Magnets

"I came to Kathleen Stoneman after multiple failed IVF attempts. I was at the end of my physical and emotional rope and searching for any kind of help. I had been hesitant to contact an acupuncturist because of the needles. But, when I spoke with Kathleen she assured me that she could use magnets instead of needles. I didn't know what to expect at my first appointment. I was feeling depressed, anxious, and dealing with nearly constant headaches. Kathleen spent the appointment addressing my physical, emotional, and spiritual health. We discussed everything from my diet, to dealing with stress, and getting rid of negative thoughts and memories. Kathleen changed my life drastically in our first meeting. Not only did my body physically feel better, but also I began to heal emotionally. She gave me tools for dealing with the turmoil of IVF. She set me on a path toward forgiveness, peace, harmony, and acceptance. Since that first meeting she has worked with me on a variety of spiritual and emotional issues that affect my whole life. She has taught me how to change my perspective to find joy in every part of life." - Liz​

 

Acupuncture Promotes Natural Ovulation after Birth Control Pill
“Within 3 months of acupuncture and herbal treatment with a 90% gluten-free diet I ovulated for the first time after discontinuing birth control for a year. I got pregnant immediately and there is no doubt in my mind it is a result of the thorough and professional care of Kathleen. Kathleen was amazingly patient, thorough, and optimistic. I am convinced I had an "easy" pregnancy because of the acupuncture support. Not only did acupuncture help with fertility, but my back and neck felt better than ever. I did not need to go to the chiropractor as often while receiving acupuncture." - JG
