Her practice embraces East Asian medicine for its holistic lens of the body. Her goal as an Acupuncturist is to restore normal functioning to the body based on an individuals constitution addressing the root causes of disharmony while honoring the intelligent and ordered design of the human body. Her technique is gentle but powerful. She sees her role as an acupuncturist as creating the space and reminding the body to do what is it is already so good at doing— healing!

Karen enjoys hiking, getting creative in the kitchen, and practicing yoga & meditation.
Reviews
“Tried the cupping massage since I heard good recommendations from a few friends. Absolutely LOVED it and signing up for acupuncture next! Karen was knowledgeable about the history / process of cupping / acupuncture and answered all of my questions with ease. She also was always making sure I was comfortable since it was my first experience with cupping!”
“Wow! Incredibly healing experience. I felt listened to, cared for, and received an amazing treatment. I did the acupuncture & cupping, and it was worth every penny. I feel relaxed & like my tension has melted away. Karen had helpful recommendations for at home care. Beautiful & serene space that I will for sure we coming back to very frequently. Thank you!!!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Mount Sunny. Walking into the space is instantly calming. Alyce was absolutely wonderful. She was professional, knowledgeable, and I felt comfortable with her immediately. I rebooked and scheduled an acupuncture session for my mom as well because my experience was that good. Can’t wait to visit again.”
