Laurie was listed first on Yelp so I called her. In just two treatments I went from being unable to surf or really do anything to being able to surf 6 days in a row. She is the best and doesn't charge enough for her services. She called to check in on me and the whole experience was lovely. I'd give her 10 stars if I could !

He gave me an amazing topical cream that cleared it up in 2 days as well as herbs internally to stop it from recurring. It has not recurred since...that was 4 months ago. A year ago I had a bicycle accident and had very bad scrapes on my face and elbow and hands. Nathan gave me a powder that I mixed with water to put on the wounds. It healed the wounds quickly and also kept them from getting infected, without having to deal with bandages and antibiotic creams. And last but not least I was on a course of herbal treatment for the beginnings of arthritis in the middle fingers. I work with my hands and I really did not want it to progress...to my delight the condition went away and never returned....that was about 5 years ago. Nathan is thorough, has a wealth of knowledge, and is very dedicated to his work.

Nathan Kaehler is a profoundly gifted, knowledgeable, wise, sensitive, caring and intuitive…read morepractitioner of Chinese medicine/herbs and acupuncture. He was recommended to me as "the best" by a trusted somatic practitioner. His work is his passion--he really devotes most of his life to studying plants, herbs and holistic healing. And it is obvious that he cares deeply for his patients. (He also practices what he preaches, which is always nice too.) His psycho-spiritual background and education is invaluable for those whose pain or ailments have roots in trauma. He is also incredibly knowledgably in an array of spiritually- and psychologically-minded information that he freely shares. This can be very valuable to the healing/learning process. In this vein, his intuition is a major plus and has been very right-on. And his words often feel like messages from beyond meant just for me, which carry their own healing and are unlike work with any other practitioner. I love that his personality is easy-going and gentle, not at all pushy or ego-filled. He really takes time with you as well. I also respect that Dr. Kaehler is realistic and honest with you. He doesn't promise miracles, and he doesn't sell you a bill of goods before he gets to know you or your system. His approach is about keeping things in balance, getting to the roots of illness, and doing slow, steady healing (at least for complicated & sensitive cases like me) -- which can be hard, because we're impatient to heal, but I think he has the right idea. As for results, I wouldn't judge based on me, as I am an extreme case with deep-set chronic illnesses and major trauma history. But, I am in a better place now, and I have had some significant gains. It all came very slow and steady. In the least, this is the first practitioner who hasn't pushed any of my various conditions out of whack, which often happened with prior doctors/acupuncturists who'd help one thing but make another worse. He has also been successful at giving me acupuncture attuned to what my body can handle, whereas other acupuncturists would do a too-strong treatment, or help one thing but throw another out of whack. I don't exaggerate to say that I am blessed to have him as my doctor, and I am a better person for knowing him.
