As someone living several states away from my aging father and stepmother,…read more knowing that my parents have a compassionate and competent caregiver gives me tremendous reassurance. My parents found Kara a few years ago, and working with her has been a gift for our family. She is reliable, methodical, and excellent in her ability to care for people; she is also kind and empathetic, and a daily light in my parent's lives. Kara is truly on a journey with them, through good times (birthdays! anniversaries! physical accomplishments!) and more challenging ones (injuries, surgeries, illness). She not only cares for my dad but helps with yard care and home projects requiring strength and/or height, walks and plays with their dog, runs errands as needed, and gives my stepmother a break and/or chance to catch up with friends. Some additional context: my dad was extremely active through his life up until his early 80's -- traveling the world, hiking/biking/skiing in the Rocky Mountains, and leading rafting trips on the Rio Grande and Animas. Kara is a former college athlete and now adult athlete, so I feel that she has extra understanding of the challenge for formerly active people whose capabilities are now more limited. Because she is so strong and physically active, my dad feels safe going for walks and doing his exercises with her -- he is more confident with her by his side than any of the rest of us. Little things like making him a nutritious and delicious sandwich each day (tailored to his dietary needs) help him stay as healthy as possible. Kara also spent/spends considerable time understanding who my parents were in their younger years, through both conversation and looking through photo albums and travel videos (even if she's seen them before). On the flip side, Kara shares what's going on her life, which has given my dad an additional "loved one" in his daily routine. We are thrilled to see her launching Nuturing Hearts and expanding her philosophy and practice to more people in the community. I am happy to provide additional details to anyone considering her services. Thank you Kara for giving my stepmother a partner in caring for my dad, for giving me and my brother peace of mind, and for giving my dad the dignity and joy he deserves at this stage in his life.

Kara has been caring for one of my close friends the last two years. Prior to Kara being hired…read moreseveral of us were trying to figure out her care by assisting her with doctor's appointments, prescriptions and medication dispensing. At that time our friend was grieving her husband's recent death; she was unable to mentally track what was going on with her. Her memory was garbled. Her sleep and eating were irregular and poor; she was unsafe and fearful. She did not have any family living in our community. With several of us providing what help we could there was not one person coordinating her medical treatment which resulted in missed appointments, inaccurate medication dispensing and poor communication concerning medical follow up. Reluctantly and with trust issues, my friend agreed to hire Kara. Her biggest fear was loss of control and realizing she could not keep her thoughts in order. Kara's first approach was to really get to know our friend and to listen to what she wanted and needed. With unending patience, Kara kept our friend in control; she encouraged our friend that she would get better and eventually be able to provide a lot of her self-care. Kara became the person she both enjoyed and trusted most; they had fun together and our friend felt very understood and accepted. Kara is very compassionate, encouraging and safety conscious. She did move in to coordinate doctor's recommendations and prescriptions dosing which made a huge difference. After two years Kara continues to provide support for our friend who has faced new medical challenges. She honors our friends needs first and encourages her that she does need to follow medical recommendations. Kara has a delightful personality with clear boundaries. She has been consistently dependable. from Susan McGinness

Ok, I will be the first to write a review of Kathleen, happy to do it. I saw Kathleen for almost…read moretwo years when I lived in the Four Corners. I liked her when I first talked to her on the phone and even more in person. She is very down to earth and human, and her experience and advice was helpful and sound. The Durango area is very 'local' when it comes to something as sensitive as therapy and to be honest I didn't like alot of the other therapists I spoke to. I guess I will just be honest and say that I found some of them a little cliquey. I'm sorry, but there it is. Kathleen is independent and knowledgeable and I valued her insight and support. Alot of what good therapy is, is having a healthy relationship in which to be yourself and voice your fears and concerns without criticism or control. We all have to find our own way and develop a strong trust in our own intuition. I felt that Kathleen helped me to do that, and I appreciated her time. No one is perfect, and that's not the point. Honesty, sincerity and safe connection are where it's at. I definitely got that with her, and always felt safe and supported.

I went to Dr. Susie Rosenburger in the spring of 2018 for neck pain that had gotten steadily worse…read morefor about two months. I had back surgery a few years ago and have not had good success with chiropractors. While I was initially very skeptical of acupuncture, my neck pain felt better after the first visit, and was almost gone after the second. I kept it up for a total of six visits over a couple weeks and several months later it has not returned. I am amazed, and will do the same next time my back or neck goes out. Maybe I will be able to avoid surgery! Can't hurt, might help. For me it definitely helped!
