Health Maintenance with Calming Monthly Acupuncture

Acupuncture for Less Chronic Neck Pain, Gastrointestinal Issues and Stress

"I have been seeing Kathleen for a few years. I am pleased to be able to say she has helped make dramatic improvements in my health and well being that others were unable to accomplish. Kathleen is a wealth of knowledge and experience and I am grateful to have this caliber of a professional to work with. Kathleen's approach has effectively addressed significant GI issues, stress, energy levels and chronic neck pain. " - SR

Multiple Sclerosis support for Balance and Speech with Acupuncture

"I went to Kathleen as my balance and speech were really bothering me. Kathleen has started scalp acupuncture and I can't say enough good things. My balance and speech are SO much better. My handwriting is getting back to where I started. My (average for the past year) normal resting pulse is in the high 80s, I had a physical the other day and it was 60! I almost fell out of the chair with shock. I feel more relaxed and centered. Kathleen is helping me so much with MS symptoms. Not only am I eternally grateful, I would fully support anyone living with MS to see her as well!" -Lynn

Hormone and Neck Pain Relief with Acupuncture and Reiki

"Kathleen is a gifted and knowledgeable practitioner. She has given me pain relief and healing in many areas. I have had painful GI issues that no one else could resolve until her. She has assisted me with severe neck pain and hormone issues. Kathleen is intuitive and invests time with her patients to get results. I consider myself fortunate to have her as one of my most valued resources." -Stephanie

Acupuncture Helps with Irregular Periods and Low Back Pain

"I went in with several health concerns and after the first visit, my low back pain, stagnant blood (which had prevented me for a normal menstrual cycle) had been resolved. We have since been working on other issues like weight, mood, and high blood pressure. Working with Kathleen has changed my life for the positive. She also does energy work and teaches classes that have been very helpful. -AA, 2014

No Knee Pain and Dancing after Acupuncture & Diet

“I teach dance lessons for West Coast Swing and also competed in the dance. I hurt my knee in one of my dance routines. I wasn't able to dance any longer, even socially. I was very depressed, but since I was an officer of our dance club at the time, I still had to attend the dances. At that time Kathleen was taking lessons from our club. She told me she could get me dancing again. I never believed in acupuncture, but was desperate to dance again, so I agreed to let her perform acupuncture on me. Within a couple of months, I was up and dancing again. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anybody and everybody. Kathleen doesn't stop at just acupuncture; she also educates you on healing your body inside too. She taught me how to eat better and I have lost over 50 pounds because of her recommendations and her moral support. She is amazing!” -CF

Menopause, Hot Flashes Acupuncture and Herbs Bring Relief

"I have been working with Kathleen for 2 years. Most recently I came to her struggling with what I considered significant symptoms of menopause. Kathleen took the time to carefully assess my symptoms and learn what I had been trying. She created a treatment plan to slowly address my symptoms, not only for menopause, but to support healthy aging. She educated me every step of the way which not only made me feel confident in her treatment plan, but also helped me feel like an active part of my healing. I felt a shift in my symptoms within the first 2 weeks. I am so thankful for Kathleen's professionalism and expertise. The way she approaches her treatment is intentional and grounded in best practices. I greatly appreciate how she educates clients to empower us to make healthy lifestyle choices to support our health. I feel that she has provided me with a comprehensive, holistic treatment plan for success." -MG, 2020

Chronic Back Pain Can Breathe Again
"I had acupuncture with Kathleen Stoneman for chronic back pain. I’d had this issue for a year; it was constant and worsened in the mid-afternoon. It caused difficulty sleeping, depression, and irritability. It made it difficult for me to breathe without pain, vacuum, lift things, change bedding, and stand for extended lengths of time. After two acupuncture treatments, I began to feel improvements in my condition immediately. My condition is 80% better at this time. I can actually breathe without pain. I would recommend acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and essential oils. Thank you, Kathleen. I had forgotten how painless breathing can be." -GB

Acupuncture and Diet Strengthen Immune System with Chronic Sinus
"I am so thankful for Kathleen's help. I had a sinus infection that was giving me headaches and misery for a month. 2 rounds of antibiotics didn't clear it, but the acupuncture did! I was amazed, after the first couple sessions my sinuses completely cleared! Kathleen also gave me great nutritional advice that drastically improved my health overall. I suffer from Irritable Bowl Syndrome too, but with diet changes and acupuncture it has basically turned into a non-issue! I am so grateful for Kathleen and all acupuncture has done for me. Thanks!" -SS

Sinus Issues and Back Pain Relieved

"I felt very comfortable. You know your stuff and are very approachable and open. I've only had one session; I've picked up on one thing about you, is you practice what you preach, a positive roll model. Thank you for that. In you treating body, mind, & spirit, my session brought back my spirit and more calm and have been feeling stronger on all levels. Seeing as though I'm a baby about using sinus rinses, I choose to get the antibiotic and take along with serrapeptase. If I ever feel sinus issue in future I'll use the rinse right away. I also got more relief on the low back pain than I thought I would, seeing as though the focus of my session was immune/sinus. Thank you again and very nice meeting you." -Judith H, 2014

Back Injury Resolved without Drugs or Side Effects
"I injured my back trying to carry too much laundry down the basement stairs. I went to Urgent Care twice and they gave me pain medication and muscle relaxers to alleviate my pain. Neither of them helped! They just made me sleepy and gave me a headache. After seeing me in pain for almost a week, my husband, who is a massage therapist, suggested that I go to an acupuncturist. I was kind of scared of the needle aspect, but I was willing to try anything to get rid of my pain. Kathleen helped me almost immediately. I still had pain, but it was lessened as each day and week went by. She put me on a healing diet, prescribed cleansing vitamins and put little tacks on my elbows and legs. She also used magnets to help relieve my pain. I had more energy after each visit. My husband got massages while I was getting acupuncture, so he was happy to go along with me. I've been telling all of my friends about acupuncture and have suggested that they go instead of taking medication. Kathleen has helped me so much. I'm now going periodically for a "tune up" and I continue to feel energized after going. They have great recipes too!" -Helen

Acupuncture Supports Recovery Post-Surgery
"Kathleen Stoneman is an outstanding acupuncturist. I had suffered first from an extensive shoulder injury and second from ruptured spinal discs. My surgeons recommended acupuncture and Kathleen provided me excellent service. She takes great care to get to know her clients and provide the service that supports them the best. She helped me to relax - more than I had in months. Once Kathleen started working on me, I did not want her to ever stop. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of Kathleen's talent!" -SW

Hives Resolved with Acupuncture, Diet and Chinese Herbs
"I am so thankful for Kathleen. I had hives for 2 years. The doctors didn't know what was causing it. They put me on a steroid prescription that made it go away temporarily, but only to return again. A friend told me about acupuncture and gave me Kathleen's name. I thought I'd give it a try. She has helped me. I have not had any hives for 9 months. I feel better, have more energy and I am also sleeping better. What I appreciate most about Kathleen is if she doesn't have an answer she will research until she does have an answer. She is a very compassionate person. She really cares and wants to help people. I'm very thankful for her." -Traci K.

Acupuncture Helped Chronic Arm Pain and Discovery of Celiac Disease

"I very much appreciate Kathleen's caring and comforting demeanor during my recovery. I am also grateful to Kathleen for helping me learn the strong effect that diet has on one's ability to heal." -SE, 2009 (Note: This patient later found out she had Celiac Disease)

Acupuncture Relief for Severe Irritable Bowl Syndrome
"I suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and recently symptoms had become more frequent and severe. The medication was not helping and I was frustrated with the lack of relief. A colleague recommended the acupuncture. I met with Kathleen and was amazed at the results. After my first visit, my episodes went from daily to one over the next seven-day period. Over the course of the last three months, I have had a total of five episodes. I am very grateful to Kathleen; she has given me the ability to live a normal live without the constant worry of IBS episodes. Thank you, Kathleen." -Diana, 2008

Painful Digestive Issues Resolved with Acupuncture

Acupuncture and New Diet for Long Term IBS Complaints

"I have had digestive issues for a good portion of my life and was constantly being told that it was, “just IBS or stress” by my doctors/allergists. I soon learned to ignore these issues. Little did I realize some of the stress was caused by my chronic condition. A couple of years ago, I started seeing Kathleen. In time, she was able to figure out that I had Leaky Gut Syndrome and we would then have to figure out what was causing my issues. In doing some lab tests, it was found that I had an intestinal parasite, bacteria, food sensitivities and Candida. No wonder why I was having digestive issues! With the help of prescribed medicine from my doctor to rid me of the parasites, my treatment with Kathleen, and my change in lifestyle/eating habits, my journey to better health had begun. Now, a year later, I am feeling so much better! I am still healing, but I feel like a new person! Healing is a journey, not something that happens overnight. Patience is key and in time, the results are well worth the wait! If it weren’t for Kathleen, I don’t know where I’d be now." -Carla, 2010

Supportive and Committed to Assist with Acupuncture

"Talented, caring, compassionate practitioner Kathleen is fantastic to work with. She is very warm and supportive and committed to helping you be your healthiest self. She has excellent technical skills and provides unique insights into your well being. I highly recommend her." -Jay

Liver Detox Program Helpful

"I am so glad I challenged myself to participate in the liver detox program with Kathleen. She was so supportive and provided so much helpful information throughout the entire process. I know I did something great for my body, and I really don't think I could have made it through the week without Kathleen's help. I will definitely participate again, and I can't thank Kathleen enough for her encouragement and support!" -Jessica B.

Acupuncture Wonder!

"I have been going to Kathleen Stoneman for acupuncture for about 3 months and it is one of the best parts of my week. Kathleen helps me both mentally and emotionally. It's so relaxing and therapeutic, she really helps me focus on what is important. I can't imagine not going. I would recommend her to anyone." -Melissa B, 2014

Gets to Root of Health Concerns with Acupuncture and Herbs
“Kathleen Stoneman is a caring health care professional who is excellent at what she does. She goes the extra mile to get to the root of health concerns and is continuously reading and researching to identify treatment options whether focused on acupuncture, herbs, nutritional supplements, etc. Working with Kathleen has greatly improved my health and state of mind and has uncovered some of the roots of health problems that have been plaguing me for years.” -KC

Great Results for Overall Health with Acupuncture
“I worked with Kathleen for over 2 years while I lived in Madison, WI. I began acupuncture out of curiosity, but continued because Kathleen was fantastic to work with and provided great results. She focuses on your overall health and wellness and genuinely cares about you. I have highly recommended her to my friends in Madison and will continue to do so.” - JW

Dramatic Improvements in GI Issues, Stress, Energy, Chronic Pain

Kathleen is a wealth of knowledge and experience and I am grateful to have this caliber of a professional to work with. Kathleen's approach has effectively addressed significant GI issues, stress, energy levels and chronic neck pain." -SR

Feeling Better with Acupuncture
"I’ve been going to Kathleen Stoneman for acupuncture for quite some time. My experience has been wonderful. Kathleen has helped me tremendously with a variety of, what I thought were unusual and disconnected symptoms. One thing that is so helpful is that she is able to put a host of symptoms together to make sense out of them and find a connection in a way that Western medicine doesn’t do. This was not only comforting to me but provided hope that I might actually start eliminating the problems I was facing. Every time that I leave an acupuncture appointment I feel better, my symptoms are lessened and I feel hopeful that my situation is manageable. Kathleen communicates well, takes her time to understand my symptoms and issues and provides me with clear information. Her guidance has been most helpful to me in keeping me healthy and getting any problem areas treated." -SH

Ms. Stoneman is also a very caring individual worthy of a patients trust.” -TL

Feels Balanced and More Positive with Acupuncture

"I am a new patient and can honestly say that I already feel a difference in a positive way. I needed something natural to bring me back to "normal" and make me feel more balanced. Physically, I feel less stressed, but I also appreciate the support emotionally and spiritually. I have learned a lot about myself through this process and I look forward to continuing my appointments. Thank you!" -Monica

Hand Pain and Tendonitis Relief with Acupuncture

"Acupuncture for tendonitis and hand pain Kathleen treated a case of tendonitis I had years ago with acupuncture, helping to heal it within just weeks. So, I sought her out when another case of tendonitis accompanied by hand pain occurred recently. Her skilled acupuncture techniques along with her compassionate and patient manner has once again been instrumental in my healing process. I am grateful to have reconnected with her and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking acupuncture treatments! "- Stephanie M, 2015

Acupuncture Helped Stress, Mood, Joint Pain and More

"When I first met with Kathleen, I was experiencing extreme fatigue, foggy thinking, anxiety, heavy periods, joint pain, headaches, bloating, indigestion, and sleep problems. After she addressed the adrenal fatigue, my energy built back up and I didn't feel so tired. Having more energy, I didn't feel like I needed a nap everyday and didn't come home and fall asleep right after work. I was able to focus more at work, put more energy into my personal relationships and begin enjoying doing more activities for pleasure. I got my sleep pattern on track where I fall asleep quickly and if I do wake up in the night, I am able to fall back to sleep quickly instead of staying awake for a long period of time. Kat reviewed my diet with me and made me aware that pretty much everything I thought I was doing right was actually not right for me. The diet part took longer for me to adjust to but I am finally able to avoid gluten products for the most part. I don't eat so much fruit and if I do, I eat it later in the day so I don't crash from the sugar. I restrict dairy but do occasionally indulge but to a minimum. I am much more aware of what may be right for others in diet may not be right for me. I rarely have bloating or digestion problems and when I do, I can pinpoint what is what that I ate that caused my discomfort. I believe diet and sleep issues caused headaches, which I rarely have anymore. I also don't suffer from joint pain anymore. I don't believe any doctor would have treated my adrenal issues. Therefore, I believe I would have crashed. I give Kat all the credit to helping me get to where I am today. Feeling normal. I had been to doctors before and they just pushed antidepressants and expensive tests. I would have been financially broke and (without trying to sound too dramatic) physically and emotionally broke. It is important for me to have energy and good health, in order to live the best life I can." - VH

Fatigue Relief with the 10 Day Acupuncture Challenge

"I'm a busy professional and needed to get my energy and mood back up to top condition as quickly as possible. At work I had gone through a very intense prolonged period and needed to build my energy reserves back up quickly. Kathleen was open to trying what we called the "10 day acupuncture challenge". It did the job and a little over two weeks I was fast tracked to getting my energy back to normal saving months of time. Thank you Kathleen for the extra time and wiliness to find solutions outside the box." - Tony T.

Sports Injury and Pain Recovery with Acupuncture and Essential Oils
