Karissa provides affordable holistic support and compassionate care.

 

Karissa’s goal is to help people and their families live the life they wish for. Whatever the symptoms may be, Karissa takes the time to listen to your needs and provides treatments accordingly. With a background in psychology, and a belief in the mind-body connection, Karissa helps people achieve their best physical and mental health in an empathetic and non-judgemental way. 

Striking balance continuously presents itself as one of the most challenging, ongoing struggles for patients. In addition to acupuncture and its associated techniques, Karissa strongly believes in the importance of food therapy, community support, positive thinking, goal setting and listening to one’s body.  She drinks coffee and wine. She eats sugar. There are no forbidden foods in her diet (except olives, she really dislikes olives!) because our bodies need balance. You can be healthy AND happy!

  • I started seeing Karissa at the start of our IVF journey. Not only were we successful on our first round, but I saw her for acupuncture throughout my pregnancy to help with all of the side effects that come with pregnancy. It was such a relief and helped manage stress throughout the process. She was also an amazing resource prepping for birth and during labor. Karissa is extremely dedicated to her patients, taking time to ask all the right questions so she can treat you in the best way. I look forward to my appointments because of the positive energy she exudes.
