“I was to a point with pain in my back, neck, and arm that I was considering surgery. That was five years ago. Since that time with the help of Kathleen and acupuncture therapy surgery is not even a consideration of mine. I would recommend acupuncture therapy to anyone… and have.” Don Adkins

" I am so thankful to Artemesia for introducing me to acupuncture and Doug Maclaren.  My life is forever changed for the better since I've made acupuncture a regular part of my wellness plan.  Doug is a professional compassionate practioner who genuinely wants to help others through his training and expertise. I always feel at ease and confident that I am getting the best care possible.  Doug listens attentively to my description of how I am feeling and adjusts each treatment to meet my current needs.  As a cancer survivor, I had many ongoing health issues resulting from cancer treatment.  Those issues have either disappeared or are manageable without all the medication and doctor's visits.  Acupuncture is an absolute miracle in my lilfe.  I love that I am an active participant in assisting my body to heal naturally with Doug's help using acupuncture."

“The pain in my feet was unbearable. Surgery had made it worse and the best the doctor could offer was more narcotics. My niece suggested acupuncture since twice having success reversing infertility. I remember my first acupuncture visit. I experienced a very pleasant sensation moving from my calf to my feet reducing my pain. Extremely pleased and hopeful I continued with treatments… Today the pain is substantially reduced without drugs or medical procedures. Kathleen is beyond extremely talented, she made the unimagined happen.” Barry Gerall

"Kathleen is truly a healer.  She begins each session by listening patiently to my concerns and then develops an individualized plan to meet my needs.  There is a spiritual element in her approach which enables her to reach beyond the realm of the merely physical to the person inside.  I began acupuncture treatments 5 years ago to relieve symptoms of chemotherapy. I continue to receive treatment bi-weekly to balance my system, enhance my immunity, and relieve assorted aches and pains." Katherine G.

"I came to Artemesia in 2008, after relocating from San Francisco to Lexington for a job. Kathleen and Doug have been wonderful new additions to my wellness support system.  I believe that bi-weekly acupuncture treatments, yoga classes (and my beloved neti pot) are key ingredients for my sanity and well-being. The value of having a balanced life is priceless, and any investment toward that end will be repaid many times over." Richard M.

"Kathleen, You're a miracle worker. It is truly amazing the renewed feeling and energy I get when I have a treatment.  It has been wonderfull getting to know you and it is always so peaceful and pleasant.  For the short time I'm there, it feels like a vacation in my body! Namaste," Joyce Green
