Dr. Kristin changed my life!  I was so leery about acupuncture but decided to give it a try when other avenues of help didn't work.  I initially went for acupuncture for pain in my leg, but in talking with Kristin and her working with me, she helped put an end to my night sweats, an almost-daily upset stomach, and numerous aches and pains that have arisen over the years.  Her knowledge and compassion are just two of her many outstanding attributes.  I have and continue to recommend Dr. Kristin at Healing Point to many others for a variety of symptoms.

The first thing I thought of when I heard “you may want to try acupuncture” was there is no way somebody is going to poke me in the face with needles like a voodoo doll. Little did I know that receiving acupuncture and being healed by Chinese medicine would be one of the best experiences that I could ask for. I have been an alopecia patient of Dr. Kristin Ward for almost 2 years now and am truly amazed at the natural healing powers of this type of medicine and acupuncture. Chinese medicine energizes your body and makes you feel very wholesome and natural. Like many people, I was ignorant of the wonders of this medicine. Dr. Ward is one of the most kind-hearted and gentle human beings that I have had the pleasure to know. There is no other place that I feel more calm and relaxed than in her office. She makes her time that she spends healing all about the patient and is remarkably knowledgeable about her field. I am still amazed by how she knows exactly where to perform acupuncture based on the description you give about how you feel that specific day. This type of medicine is all about you. You are not placed into a general category like with most doctors. Nothing is considered “normal.” When you experience being healed by Chinese medicine, you will never want to go back to another doctor, and you will have gained an excellent friend as well.

I started seeing Kristin over a year ago; I am a runner who had been suffering from chronic back issues that had reached a point where I could no longer run. My husband, who has been a long time patient, suggested that I see Kristin. From my very first appointment, I was impressed with Kristin's demeanor and compassion. She took her time in asking me all sorts of questions about my overall health, and she actually listened! During the first treatment, she was aware of my sensitivity to pain and made sure to explain what was going on and why. I was surprised how easy it all was. I continued to see her, and my back and other assorted issues improved significantly and I was back running sooner than I expected.

I still run and I still to see Kristin regularly. The treatments, herbs, and other recommendations that she has made have continued to improve my health. I would tell anyone who was suffering from any sort of pain to make an appointment.

Dr. Kristin focuses on a whole body approach, not just on specific areas. I am seeing her for preventative treatment as well as for specific ailments. At almost 68, I don’t have much to complain about, and I look forward to keeping it that way with Dr. Kristin. This medicine not only identifies and treats illness and prevents disease but, just as importantly, optimizes health, well-being, and sustainability in our lives and in our world.

Having personally gone to 4 different acupuncturists, and tried 2 others with my now grown children, we can say with conviction that Kristin is the best. She truly has healing hands, following a deliberate and academic approach like no other. Kristin provided me with relief at a time when my life was compromised by Lyme Disease. Filled with gratitude.

I call Dr. Kristin my Shaman because being her patient can be both a magical and spiritual experience. Additionally, she has a way about her that makes you feel comfortable, even when she has to poke you with a few needles! Not only that, but Dr. Kristin doesn't make Chinese medicine unapproachable or mysterious—she uses concrete and relatable analogies to explain how the medicine works in your body. Having battled chronic pain for over a decade and having tried many other therapies, I can say that Dr. Kristin's method of treatment works! She has treated my whole body, not just the places where I hold pain. She's helped me to understand the relationship between my menstrual cycle and my chronic pain as well as my mood. She doesn't just treat symptoms; she treats the root of the problem.
