Zenith Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine — Local services in Columbia

One of the best acupuncturist I have ever had. I’ve had 5 and really only felt like 2 were beneficial. I saw Kathryn after surgery for an autoimmune disease that affects my skin (stage 3 Hidradenitis Suppurativa). Doctors told me that the condition would never get better, only worse and I would constantly need surgeries. I don’t agree with western medicine on that so boom I came to Zenith.

Problems before her: lost 25 pounds for no reason (severely underweight), constantly cold w/ cold extremities and extreme anemia, draining pus from HS (autoimmune disease) wounds that could not be surgically removed yet, no appetite and never felt full directly after eating, and more stuff I probably don’t know.

Within 3 sessions I began to gain back my weight which I couldn’t do in the 2 years I had been trying. It’s been a year and I’m back to 140 pounds and never lost it again. My circulation is great and my extremities are warmer. I can finally eat and feel full. And the greatest improvement was that my draining decreased by about 75% and I could wear colored clothes again without destroying the armpit area.

My issues are deep and chronic so I’m still working on them in various ways but I saw the greatest improvement with Kathryn and I’m so glad I started with her.

She listened to my health history, made me feel comfortable during one of the most vulnerable times of my life, obviously had some amazing diagnostic skills and really just improved my quality of life. Go see her! You...

I am so very glad that I found Kathryn. Her treatments have been lifechanging for me. Before coming to her, I suffered from chronic migraines and severe perimenopause symptoms. My primary care doctor recommended a uterine ablation, and I had one scheduled but wasn't looking forward to it. After just a few treatments with Kathryn, my migraines had stopped completely (which, coming from a place where I had 15-20 migraine days per month, to going a few months with zero migraines is really, really remarkable). Also, my perimenopause symptoms were reduced to the point where I canceled my ablation appointment because it just wasn't necessary anymore. When the pandemic hit, there were a couple of months where I couldn't get my acupuncture, and I noticed the migraines and perimenopause symptoms coming back. It was terrible! But then Kathryn was able to open back up and I noticed improvement after just one treatment (the perimenopause symptoms stopped almost immediately, and the migraines lost their intensity and happened less often). After three treatments, I'm pretty much back to migraine free, with no perimenopause symptoms to speak of. Now, I've been to other acupuncturists, who were also quite good, but none of them have ever had much of an effect on my migraines. It's really very amazing, and I recommend Kathryn to anyone who will listen, so great has the impact of her treatments...

I found Kathryn after looking for an acupuncturist in the Columbia, MD area, and I am so thankful that I did. After experiencing the loss of my menstrual cycle after coming off of birth control, my doctor recommended acupuncture as a way to support my body. Upon meeting Kathryn, I immediately felt at ease and listened to. She took the time to do a full intake of my health history in order to determine our best course of action. Within two months of acupuncture sessions and taking the TCM herbs that Kathryn recommended, my cycle was back. My cycle has continued to be regular and symptom free ever since. I continue to see Kathryn for regular acupuncture to support my body, and as a form of relaxation. If you are looking for an acupuncturist, or are wondering if acupuncture might be a helpful support for a health issue, I suggest reaching out to Kathryn to schedule a consult. I cannot recommend her enough, and continue to be appreciative of how she has...
