Holistic Coaching and Acupuncture for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Infertility

"I have been seeing Kathleen for three years now and can't express how grateful I am for her as an acupuncturist, spiritual guide, life coach and friend. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through the past several years without her - between going through fertility treatment, multiples losses, surgeries, crazy hormone fluctuations and ultimately pregnancy and postpartum, she has been such a huge source of support. I have walked in her office at rock bottom physically, spiritually and emotionally and she has an amazing gift of healing and grounding. Also, as an added benefit, past seasonal allergy symptoms have all but disappeared. I can't recommend Kathleen enough!" -Kendra

Holistic Approach for Menopause

"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." -Maureen

Health Maintenance with Calming Monthly Acupuncture

"I have been seeing Kathleen on and off for 2 years, and committed to monthly recurring appointments in 2020 for my health. I enjoy the calm nature of my appointments and Kathleen’s style of considering all the ailments and conditions that need balancing for me." -Jenny

Pregnancy Support with Acupuncture

"Kathleen has been an amazing part of my journey to motherhood. I began seeing her while we were trying to get pregnant, as I had convinced myself it was not going to be possible. She not only introduced me to the benefits of acupuncture and herbal tinctures while we tried to conceive, but also provided nutritional guidance, and gave me invaluable counseling that helped change my perspective on conceiving, and helped me find a much more positive state of mind. I became pregnant shortly after beginning my treatment with Kathleen, and continued seeing her throughout my pregnancy. She continued to provide amazing support through acupuncture, nutritional guidance, and counseling. I looked forward to my appointments with her as time I could truly focus on my pregnancy. Leading up to my due date, Kathleen helped me build the confidence I needed, and provided me with tools to help me through the labor process. We welcomed our baby girl into the world, and I cannot thank Kathleen enough for the wonderful support she provided throughout the whole journey. I highly, highly recommend her!" -Rachel

MS 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

Reiki Helps Mother Cope with Daughter's Illness

"My daughter has a connective tissue disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome); which is a chronic condition, without a finish line, and can at times be debilitating. As a parent, it is so hard to see someone you love hurting so much. I had really been struggling and was stuck in a place of fear and protectiveness. Working with Kathleen has helped me step away from the injustice of this condition and come back to the present moment. I really appreciate her energy work and mentorship as I work on letting go of my fear and control. I truly feel lighter after a Reiki Healing Session. This work doesn’t change my daughter’s condition but it does change how I respond to it and as a result, I expend far less energy on counterproductive thoughts/emotions/actions. For anyone that is feeling stuck, or energetically trapped, I’d highly recommend reaching out to Kathleen." -Catherine

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

Natural Labor with Acupuncture and Acupressure
“Kathleen Stoneman provided first rate acupuncture and acupressure care, along with nutritional and herbal supplement counseling, throughout my pregnancy and subsequent natural labor and delivery of a healthy nine pound boy. Her kind professionalism and expertise, together with her genuine concern for my well-being were key components to my healthy and relaxed pregnancy. I cannot recommend Kathleen enough to anybody seeking an alternative (or complement to) Western medical treatments for either general health or prenatal/postnatal care.” -SV

Menopause, Hot Flashes Acupuncture and Herbs Bring Relief

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

Multiple Sclerosis Bladder Control, Balance Improvement

"I have been seeing Kathleen for a little over a year now. When I first went to Kathleen, I had gone for acupuncture only. I had received the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Through my acupuncture appointments, I have seen an improvement in my balance, in my bladder control and my speech. For this alone, I am eternally grateful. Kathleen performs acupuncture for neurological concerns, but it doesn’t stop there. As my journey has continued, Kathleen has worked to open my eyes to multiple avenues on my healing journey. I have never felt pressured in this journey. I have been learning throughout the past year, never more than I can fathom. I have taken both Reiki 1 and Reiki 2. Both classes have helped me so very much and I can’t imagine my life without them. In general, I feel calmer and I truly think my stress level has gone down." -LK, 2019

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 Vicodin and Flexeril 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

Transverse Breech Resolved with Acupuncture and Massage

"During the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy I received news that my baby had turned from head down to transverse - a condition that nearly always necessitates a cesarean delivery. I was so disappointed as my goal was a natural delivery. I was determined to do anything I could to avoid the standard medical treatment for this condition (a "version" where an OB provider manually attempts to turn baby in a hospital setting and under medication). Kat was very accommodating and saw me that weekend for acupuncture. In under three days that little baby had turned with the help of acupuncture and maya abdominal massage! I sincerely appreciate the expert skills and utmost calmness shown to me by Kat during my pregnancy journey." -JK

Moxibustion and Acupuncture Treatment Turn Breech Baby
"I had an acupuncture session with Kathleen Stoneman to help turn my baby from breech position. She gave me moxibustion sticks to use at home. I used them twice and the next day had an ultrasound and the baby was turned head down. He is still head-down and doing well! Thank you very much for helping us!" -TS

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 (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 Metamorphosis 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 metamorphosis 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

"I have been seeing Kathleen at Metamorphosis Holistic Health for the past two 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

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

Acupuncture Re-Energized Me

"My acupuncture treatments have been very beneficial and re-energizing. I look forward to coming back for each session. Thank you!" -AA

At Ease with Acupuncture and Herbs
“Kathleen Stoneman has been my acupuncturist/herbalist for several years. She is very knowledgeable and capable as an acupuncturist/herbalist. Kathleen has the ability to put an apprehensive patient at ease. Her knowledge of herbs has helped me out several times over the years. 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

Kathleen Listens and is Passionate about Helping People

I started seeing Kathleen about a month ago and I am so grateful I found her. It is clear she is very passionate about helping people and takes the time to really listen. She has been helping me after my miscarriage to ensure my body is a state to successfully sustain a pregnancy. I couldn't recommend her enough!" -KN, 2020

Fertility IVF Success with Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture
"I had tried IVF twice and we were unsuccessful both times. We had enough money and embryos for one last try when our physician suggested I try acupuncture. I started acupuncture with Kathleen in May of 2007. I was unsure about the procedure, but thought I would give it a try. After just a few sessions I was feeling better and the side effects of all the hormones were less. I thought by the end of June, 'This just might work.' I kept up with the diet restrictions and vitamins suggested. On July 7th we transferred our last four embryos, had acupuncture – then prayed and waited. Two weeks later we had our pregnancy test. It was finally positive. Two weeks after that I saw our son's heartbeat for the first time on ultrasound. The pregnancy went smoothly and we delivered a healthy boy at 37 weeks on March 6, 2008. Thank you, Kathleen for being an integral part of bringing us our boy. He is a joy and we are grateful for everything you did." -SH

Acupuncture for Infertility Unique and Supportive

"I have been working with Kathleen for almost a year as part of my fertility journey. Although I am still in the midst of this journey, Kathleen has helped me so much in many aspects of my life. My original intention when going to see Kathleen was to receive acupuncture treatments, which I have found Kathleen is very talented at. After each acupuncture appointment I feel very relaxed and refreshed. Each acupuncture treatment is unique based on your needs at the time. However, after my first appointment with Kathleen I realized that I was going to get so much more out of my appointments than acupuncture. Kathleen gets to know you and treats all aspects of your life – diet, exercise, lifestyle habits, and mental and emotional health. A visit with Kathleen is like seeing a therapist, nutritionist, and acupuncturist all in one. At each appointment she takes the time to talk with you to see how you are doing. I never feel rushed like I do in a doctor’s office. Kathleen puts a lot of effort into getting to know you personally. She is so in touch with me that sometimes I think she knows more about how I am feeling than I do. Kathleen has helped me become a better person overall, beyond my fertility issues. She has helped me learn to listen to myself, taught me breathing techniques, and helped me manage stress. Kathleen truly cares about the well-being of each person that she works with." -AM, 2018

Second Time with Infertility but Now Pregnant and Connected to Baby

"I wish I had met Kathleen when I was struggling with infertility the first time. However, I met Kathleen when I was struggling with infertility the second time and felt quite hopeless. I was having issues with prescription fertility medications and felt that time was running out and that IVF was going to be my only option. Kathleen helped me transform negative and hindering thoughts such as age, egg supply scores, etc. One of the most helpful things she said to ease my anxiety was that “babies come when they are ready”. This statement was so powerful and transforming for me. It really helped me let go and stop trying to control everything which is a struggle for me. Kathleen has so many useful tools and is highly skilled, empathetic, honest and knowledgeable. She has a very special gift. Also, I can’t put into words how amazing it is to make a connection with your baby who hasn’t been conceived yet. I am happy to report that I am 5 weeks pregnant! Thank you Kathleen for everything you did for me and my family." - BP 2017

Healthy Baby Boy and Mother after Multiple Miscarriage

"When I first met Kathleen, my primary concern was fertility. I had suffered two miscarriages within a year time frame. Kathleen was a true Godsend. She took a lot of time with me, and listened. She not only understand what I was struggling with, but also had the ability to provide me with an explanation that made sense to me. I started to feel as though I had some control over my body, and that one day I would carry a pregnancy to term. After I started to see her for acupuncture, she began to make diet recommendations. I will admit, this was the most difficult for me to do, but once I started making the recommended changes I started to see a vast improvement in my symptoms. She prescribed some herbs which did help with some of the diet changes. Also, Kathleen encouraged me to use different types of oils, and meditation, and energy work to help manage other pain and mood symptoms. I use all of these tools to this day. Kathleen helped me to reconnect with my spiritual side. I no longer felt I was on this journal alone. I started to open myself up more to my angels, and I learned more about my life path. I began noticing changes in my mind, body and spirit. Toward the end of my work with Kathleen, I was off all medications, sleeping through the night, and feeling more healthy than I ever have. Most importantly, I did carry a pregnancy to term. I now have a little boy who means the world to me. I truly believe I owe this to Kathleen. Unfortunately, we had to move away. So, I no longer am able to see Kathleen. I am hoping to try for another baby soon, but am nervous to do it without Kathleen. If you are fortunate to live in Kathleen’s area, I hope you seek her out if you are struggling with any of the issues I mentioned above. She is one of a kind, and your life will be forever changed." - HB

Struggle is Over After Recurrent Miscarriage
"Kathleen has been instrumental in helping me get my life back. After years of struggling to conceive, then multiple miscarriages, and switching between different prescription medications, she suggested hormone and gastrointestinal testing. The results that came back helped to explain why my body wasn’t functioning optimally and why I had been exhausted for so many years. Under Kathleen’s care and individualized treatment plan, I feel better than I have in years and have hope again that I can live life to the fullest and someday have a family of my own. [Note: 14 months later she gave birth to a healthy baby boy] Kathleen’s expertise, along with her encouragement and concern about my well being, has helped me to begin healing." – Kristy

Progress and Successful Pregnancy after Miscarriage
"I received my first treatment from Kathleen one morning after I started spotting 6 weeks into my pregnancy. Her quiet reassurance and professionalism were as instrumental as the acupuncture needles in calming my nerves, and helping me to believe that everything was okay. She is a perfect fit to the caring, supportive atmosphere that is an integral part of the treatment. Six weeks later, I'm delighted to say that my pregnancy is progressing wonderfully, and I continue to see Kathleen for my first trimester weekly appointments when my schedule allows." - SV

Natural Cycle and Pregnancy after Birth Control

"After several years on birth control my husband and I decided I would go off the pill so we could start our family. Four months after going off of the pill I still had not gotten my period. My doctor gave me progesterone and said this would "re-start" my cycle. After several months and attempts to get my cycle re-started and two rounds of Clomid, I had not become pregnant or gotten a period naturally. I turned to Acupuncture and was lucky enough to be placed with Kathleen. After less than thee months of seeing Kathleen, I got my period naturally and was pregnant the next month with my beautiful baby girl! Kathleen not only got my cycle back on track, but she also provided emotional support and guidance on how to live a healthy life. I am confident that without Kathleen's help I would have resorted to fertility treatments that were not necessary. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Kathleen for helping me through my pregnancy process!" - ST

Holistic Skeptic to Believer

I want to start out by saying that prior to my experience with Kathleen I was the type of person who would have laughed at the idea of someone doing Holistic medicine. Kathleen has turned the skeptic in me into a believer. I started seeing Kathleen to help with infertility. She has helped on this front, but also helped with other issues I have been dealing with. One of the ones we have made the most improvement on is my allergy like symptoms (post nasal drip/congestion). In the past I was told by western medicine doctors that I should use nasal spray X, but not much could be done. After starting acupuncture and diet coaching with Kathleen, I have seen significant improvements. I will say, this is not an quick fix, it has required diet changes and work on my end as well, however it is well worth it. Both my wife and I see Kathleen and I would recommend her to anyone. She tailors every treatment to ones unique circumstances. She is open and upfront so I recommend that if you have questions or are unsure just make an appointment and have a conversation with her. - Mike

Success with Acupuncture after Recurrent Miscarriage
"After suffering repeated miscarriages I decided to open myself up to alternative treatments. When I first decided to try acupuncture I was unsure of what to expect, or if it would help. Kathleen Stoneman was very informative as well as compassionate and caring regarding my situation. Right away I felt hopeful after meeting with her. She educated me not only about acupuncture, but also about other things I could modify in my life to help achieve and maintain a healthy body and pregnancy. I spent several months following her instructions and doing acupuncture treatments. Soon after I discovered I was pregnant. Her care and attention throughout the whole process was a great support for me. I continued to have regular acupuncture appointments throughout the pregnancy. Kathleen always treated me based on what I was experiencing at the moment - everything was customized to my situation and me. She also spent a great deal of time with me trying to make sure that she addressed what was needed. I felt cared for on both on a physical and emotional level. I feel so indebted to Kathleen for her care during this challenging period of my life. The result was a healthy and beautiful baby girl. I never could have gotten to this place without Kathleen's care. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathleen to anyone who is facing fertility issues or any other type of health issue." - EF

Beautiful Baby Girl after Customized Acupuncture
"I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone who is facing fertility issues or any other type of health issue. I started seeing her after suffering recurrent pregnancy loss. Kathleen was very informative as well as compassionate and caring regarding my situation. Right away I felt hopeful after meeting with her. She educated me not only about acupuncture, but also about other things I could modify in my life to help achieve and maintain a healthy body and pregnancy. I spent several months following her instructions and doing acupuncture treatments. Soon after I discovered I was pregnant. Her care and attention throughout the whole process was a great support for me. I continued to have regular acupuncture appointments throughout the pregnancy. Kathleen always treated me based on what I was experiencing at the moment - everything was customized to my situation and me. She also spent a great deal of time with me trying to make sure that she addressed what was needed. I felt cared for on both on a physical and emotional level. I feel so indebted to Kathleen for her care during this challenging period of my life. The result was a healthy and beautiful baby girl. I never could have gotten to this place without Kathleen's care." - LC

Thanks for Holistic Approach and Acupuncture

"Having being seen by Kathleen for acupuncture for infertility, I am amazed by how my life has changed. She has changed not only my energy and body, but also my mind. She has positively challenged me to be the best person I can be and to focus on my whole self. Kathleen takes a holistic approach that I haven't experienced at other providers and I cannot thank her enough for teaching me important life lessons."- Anon, 2015

Acupuncture On-Site for IVF Transfer Calms & Comforts Traveling Client 
"Kathleen was referred to me by the Wisconsin Fertility Institute for additional support for the day of my transfer. Traveling from out of town didn't allow for us to meet and work with one another until the time of our appointment, but that didn't stop me from having one of the most transformative experiences to date! From our very first contact, Kathleen's professionalism impressed me. Her streamlined business processes (prompt return call, online scheduling & clear instructions) went above and beyond my expectations. During a time that is emotional and stressful, compounded with the frustration of commuting several hours from out of town, Kathleen's demeanor and compassion were such a comfort for me. I was a bundle of nerves before my transfer but the hour that Kathleen and I spent together changed everything and allowed the calm me to resurface! She was sensitive yet focused. Her attention to the ambiance (dimming the lights, playing relaxation music and covering me with a blanket to keep me warm) was greatly appreciated as it all was pivotal to the success of the acupuncture treatment. Her guided meditation allowed my mind to let go of any fears and insecurities, any self-judgment or pain that I was holding onto in order to make space for positivity and goodness which is so critical, especially during this time! Her presence, kindness, calmness & expertise completely shifted my experience and I am beyond grateful. I cannot imagine my transfer without the assistance and tools provided by Kathleen. And the fact that she comes directly to the Clinic is such a bonus! I would recommend to any women who is living with fertility issues, whatever they may be, begin a relationship with Kathleen immediately. My only regret is that I don't live in the same town! She is truly a gem." –Jenni Jo, Wausau, WI in July 2014

Successfully Treated Shoulder Pain with Acupuncture
“Kathleen Stoneman is extremely proficient in acupuncture, and successfully treated my condition of shoulder pain in less than 10 sessions. She is also very knowledgeable in a large variety of Chinese herbs, and custom blended a formulation just for me. She is very friendly and communicates well with her clients.” - SM

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.

Acupuncture Reduce Anxiety and Improve Symptoms in Pregnancy

"I have gone to Kathleen Stoneman for several years for various health issues: low energy and various issues throughout pregnancy (nausea, insomnia, anxiety). Her approach is very holistic and individualized. Her treatments are very relaxing and over time I could see a considerable improvement in my symptoms that I received from no other treatments. Her acupuncture, in combination with the essential oils, Chinese herbs and other supplements she recommended made me feel like a million bucks! She is a very thoughtful, considerate, and attentive caregiver. I recommend her treatments and professional knowledge to anyone looking to feel their best and/or anyone that is having difficulty with health problems not otherwise managed. Thank you Kathleen for all the health and happiness you have afforded me through your care!" - TS

Fertility, Emotional Support and IVF Success
"I highly recommend Kathleen. For our second pregnancy, my husband and I had to use IVF after failed IUI attempts. A few friends highly recommended supporting our efforts with acupuncture. Through regular visits and Kathleen's expertise and emotional support we are happy to say that IVF worked on the first try. I continued to visit Kathleen during my first trimester to support the pregnancy, as well as the final weeks of the pregnancy. We have a beautiful baby boy now and can't say enough about the experience I had with Kathleen." - SW

Relief from Constant Headaches with Acupressure and Magnets

"I came to Kathleen Stoneman after multiple failed IVF attempts. I was at the end of my physical and emotional rope and searching for any kind of help. I had been hesitant to contact an acupuncturist because of the needles. But, when I spoke with Kathleen she assured me that she could use magnets instead of needles. I didn't know what to expect at my first appointment. I was feeling depressed, anxious, and dealing with nearly constant headaches. Kathleen spent the appointment addressing my physical, emotional, and spiritual health. We discussed everything from my diet, to dealing with stress, and getting rid of negative thoughts and memories. Kathleen changed my life drastically in our first meeting. Not only did my body physically feel better, but also I began to heal emotionally. She gave me tools for dealing with the turmoil of IVF. She set me on a path toward forgiveness, peace, harmony, and acceptance. Since that first meeting she has worked with me on a variety of spiritual and emotional issues that affect my whole life. She has taught me how to change my perspective to find joy in every part of life." - Liz

Acupuncture Promotes Natural Ovulation after Birth Control Pill
“Within 3 months of acupuncture and herbal treatment with a 90% gluten-free diet I ovulated for the first time after discontinuing birth control for a year. I got pregnant immediately and there is no doubt in my mind it is a result of the thorough and professional care of Kathleen. Kathleen was amazingly patient, thorough, and optimistic. I am convinced I had an "easy" pregnancy because of the acupuncture support. Not only did acupuncture help with fertility, but my back and neck felt better than ever. I did not need to go to the chiropractor as often while receiving acupuncture." - JG
