PAIN FREE! Amazing!!

I have been battling severe pain in my left hand and thumb and wrist since Sept 2019. I have tried everything- even an orthopedic hand specialist. There were times it hurt to touch the skin on that wrist. Kim did it!!! My hand doesn’t hurt – after only 3 treatments. I can make quilts, pick up my 2-year-old grandson, clean, paint, sleep- PAIN-FREE! Amazing!!

I met Dr Kim Filkins at Studio You’s Yoga Nidra + Acupuncture workshop. I have been practicing holistic feeding and veterinary medicine for my pet companions, but I hadn’t been doing any of that for myself. I am a scientist employed by Big Pharma, so I always assumed that was the solution for my medical issues. However, after seeing the results of TCVM for the animals, I decided to try it for my own health. After only a couple acupuncture sessions and the knowledge Dr Filkins shared with me for a holistic remedy, my GERD had finally calmed down. While continuing acupuncture, understanding more about the foods I eat, plus taking the suggested herbal concoctions; I have been able to get off of Big Pharma pills – for GERD, high BP and Cholesterol. I’ve also been able to lose some weight, while under the care of Dr Filkins. I am now on a journey to be free of the psychotropic pills for my GAD (general anxiety.) Kim is extremely knowledgeable with Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy and practices. She is very good at explaining it, so it’s understandable. She’s very patient and personalizes her patients treatments. Her nutritional suggestions helped me to switch to a healthy plant based diet; which was something I was wanting to do because of my love for animals. Acupuncture gave me more physical energy, beginning immediately after my first session. The points that Dr Filkins targeted – helped me medically, but also resulted in feeling of being more connected spiritually with universal energy. Big Pharma was only treating the symptoms of my issues. That only led to adding another prescription pill and that was only stressing me out. Kim gets to the root of the issue(s) and was able to help me with my whole self. What she does is not “woo woo”, it’s true true and I am a believer! Also, I would like to mention, I appreciate the free educational newsletter and her invaluable connection to the holistic community.

Chronic Pain Relief!

No other doctors have been able to help me with my chronic ailments from my 21 years of service in the military. Until I met Dr. Kim. She has been the only one that has given me any type of relief. She makes you feel like you are the only patient she has. If you’re looking for a doctor that isn’t trying to rush your treatment and truly cares about improving your life I recommend Dr. Kim.

The therapy I receive from Kim has been a game changer in my life. Through Kim’s treatments, I am able to better manage my chronic conditions.

Patient

Arthritic Fingers

My knuckles were pretty painful and went for 5 treatments of 30 minutes each. I was very skeptical but the end results were great. I have no pain and am able to make a fist with more power. Other areas of my body also improved. Recommend this for pain in joints, muscles etc. . As needed I will continue to use Kim.

You’re a Life Saver!

I have been in constant pain in my knees, back, hip and sciatic from osteoarthritis, with cortizone shots in my spine and hip. A coworker mentioned that her friend Kim has an acupuncture practice, that it would help. After 6-7 treatments along with cupping and IT band work I am practically pain free. It is amazing how much much better I feel because of Kim and acupuncture, cupping. Thank you Kim, you’re a life saver.

Absolutely Outstanding!!

Kim is absolutely outstanding as a practitioner and as a human being. I have come to her at my most vulnerable — when in screaming pain with a sciatic nerve injury, and after a crush injury to my foot that left me in pain for many months. Everything about her approach is thoughtful, expert, compassionate and tailor-made. She has helped heal my body and renew my spirits when times were tough. I recommend her every chance I get.
