Krishna Avalon

After my first treatment I felt calm and relaxed for days! Can’t wait to get back from my trip and book another appointment! Thank you Krishna!

I have a herniated C6−7 vertebrae. In May it became unbearable, and I went to the ER where it was finally diagnosed. After weeks of physical therapy, tons of heavy painkillers, cortico-​steroid injections and feeling as though my life was over, my doctor referred me for acupuncture. If that didn’t work, my only other option was neuro surgery.
I was skeptical and I mentioned that to Krishna, she simply smiled and said she had a soft spot for skeptics. Three months ago I couldn’t sit in a chair, lift my head up, work, drive, sleep, smile, walk my dogs. My pain levels were so far off the charts and heavy pain killers didn’t touch it. Now I’m writing this review with a huge smile on my face while sitting at my desk.
She is the real deal and it works. I wouldn’t be walking or functioning right now if it wasn’t for her and the magic she works. I haven’t taken any pain killers or anti-​inflammatory medication for weeks. I’m sleeping comfortably in my own bed and not on the floor. I am no longer a writhing ball of agony. I have not have surgery and I do not want to. The way I feel now, I don’t have to.
If you are even considering acupuncture or energy work I highly recommend her.

It doesn’t get any better than Krishna! I’ve been seeing Krishna for about three years and during that time, I’ve moved out of state/​country and seen other acupuncturists who just don’t provide what I’m looking for in an acupuncture session. Krishna is great at listening to what my concerns are and I feel rejuvenated, relaxed, and clear in my mind after every session. I’ve seen Krishna for seasonal allergies, muscle tension and aches, stress, anxiety, and menstrual cramps, just to name a few. I highly recommend her!

When my friend told me to try acupuncture for my stress and anxiety, I thought that she was nuts. I have an insane fear of needles and I am usually pretty skeptical about these sorts of things. However I decided to try it once since I was desperate and tired of not being able to sleep and having migraines.
I got to Krishna Avalon’s practice and I found myself in a peaceful, clean, quite space. I drank a cup of tea while talking to Krishna about why I was there and what was I expecting to get from the appointment. Just listening to her voice started to calm me down. I didn’t feel pressured to try or do anything, and she was very welcoming and open to answer my many many questions.
I was very nervous and worried about the needles but I have to say I hardly noticed them! It was a tiny pinch and the pain was gone. Krishna explains what she is doing as she goes and her soothing voice and kind words help you get into a comfortable space. Then she performed sound therapy on me and I got into a deeper relaxation. It was just my first session and it was a little hard to empty my mind and concentrate on my breathing, but I am sure I will be coming back and keep on practicing.
That night I slept like I haven’t slept before, and I have been very calmed since. I’m still thinking about the stress of course, acupuncture is not miraculous. However I feel that I got rid of the heavy weight that the stress was putting on my mind and body.
Who would have thought that getting needles in your body could be so relaxing!
I can’t recommend enough Krishna Avalon’s services. She is just amazing!!!

Krishna is simply amazing. I first started seeing her in the winter of 2012 when I was suffering from chronic sinus infections and fatigue. After several rounds of failed antibiotic treatments I ended up on Krishna’s table where she worked her magic and elevated me place of wellness I didn’t know possible. Over the past few years, I have continued to see Krishna for a variety of reasons, throat issues, stress, wrist pain, a foot injury, hormone balancing, and immune support — after every visit I leave feeling like I am floating on a cloud. In efforts to spread the bliss that Krishna imparts I have referred countless friends to her and they have all become highly-​satisfied return clients as well.

Krishna has completely changed my life. I am more focused, calm, and centered after seeing her for treatment. Her sessions are powerful and masterfully intuitive. She is a healer through out her being and it shows in each session!

I decided to see Krishna after reading the Unilocal reviews, even though her practice is 40 mins (one way) from where I live, and there are other practitioners closer to me. At the time, I was dealing with migraines and back pain, in addition to a series of symptoms related to stress and post-​pregnancy hormonal imbalance. After completing six sessions with her, all of the pains and symptoms I originally went in for are gone. I also feel stronger, my energy levels have significantly increased, and I feel more balanced and clear-​minded. I have also noticed that I am more calmed and even-​tempered when dealing with stressors, and overall feel much more motivated to get things done.
This was my first acupuncture, moxibustion and vibration therapy experience, so at first, I was a bit afraid that the needles would be painful, but quite frankly, when she was working on me, there were times I didn’t even know she had placed a needle in a certain spot until she removed it. Vibration therapy was my favorite part of the treatment (I can’t even describe it; that’s something you’ll have to try on your own; all I can say is it made my whole body very happy), but the entire session from beginning to end was very relaxing, revitalizing and therapeutic. I left the studio looking forward to the next session every time, and I still am.
I think it is worth mentioning that at the time I started my sessions, my fiancé had been dealing with some foot pain that traditional doctors had not been able to tackle, so I made an appointment for him to start treatment with Krishna. He was super skeptical, but decided to go through with it just to make me happy. Much to his surprise, his foot pain went away after the first session, even though he had had it for months. I also noticed that he was a lot more energetic; he even started working out on regular basis and has shed a few pounds since then (I have too).
Even though the issues that I went to see Krishna for are gone, I am planning on visiting her for more sessions in the future. I find that her therapy helps me stay healthy, balanced and focused, and –in my opinion– a session with Krishna beats a day at the spa! If you are undecided about starting this kind of treatment, I would recommend making your first appointment with her, and take it from there; you will *not* regret it!

Krishna is a wellness magician of the first order and I wish that finances allowed me to come much more often to enjoy her healing powers! Skeptical at first, out of ignorance, I am now a total convert. Krishna has enabled me to relax at the highest level I yet know. I am a builder with a sore back from time to time, lifetime allergies, and some sleep trouble. She has helped with all of these more than the conventional western med guys. I didn’t think it was possible, Bravo Krishna!

Krishna is amazing. She is grounded in her deep commitment to healing and creating connection. She asks insightful questions and truly listens. Her approach to health is holistic and she has a gift for knowing exactly how to put the pieces of my mental and physical health together. I started seeing Krishna for help with stress and anxiety and her care and compassion and artful healing have helped me immeasurably. I can’t recommend her enough.

I have suffered from migraines for many years and I have tried a couple of acupuncturists. After meeting Krishna I decided I would try it again. She is like no one I have ever been to before. She spent time with me before my apt getting to know me and my entire background not just putting me on the table. She has such a calming aura about her and really concentrated on helping me learn to breathe. I will continue to see Krishna to help with my migraine pain. She is the best!

Krishna is fantastic. This is the first time I have tried accupuncture, and I have been seeing her for about 9 months. She listens, she asks questions, she spends the time you need with her, and most importantly my pain is gone.

Krishna treated me for a bunch of things but primarily for exercise induced asthma. It took approximately 5 treatments and now it’s completely gone. It felt like magic! I love Krishna’s calmness, the space, the smells and the sounds during the treatments. It’s an absolutely blizzful experience. Wished I could go back every week.

I went to Krishna to try something new for a sports injury. And to my surprise it work. The pain in my subdued significantly and I slept soundly throughout the night for the first time in days. I learned that Krishna has much experience treating sport injuries in the past. This was my first experience with acupuncture and am very satisfied. Thank you, Krishna!

I have been working with Krishna for over a year now. The first treatment made me feel so wonderful that I signed up for a series of treatments. These helped me to be a much healthier, happy and calmer person. I felt balanced, my mind felt settled & that feeling stayed with me for several days after. The treatments helped relieve some severe knee pain, helped me to start sleeping though the night & also helped with some night sweats I had been experiencing. I love the fact that Krishna includes so many different forms of healing for our senses; her touch, smells, sounds & of course her warm, loving personality totally makes you feel like you’ve just been treated perfectly. Krishna has a way of putting you at ease the moment you enter her office & is very in tune to what is going on with you, this is important to me because it’s not always the same thing that I’m experiencing from one week to the next. Another thing I love is that she has taught me about the things I could be doing on my own nutritionally to improve my health on a daily basis. I recommend her to my friends & family, my husband has also seen her. You will love her! She comes highly recommended in my circle of friends!

My first experience with acupuncture was by the skillful hands of Krishna. I felt at ease from the moment I entered her office. Her healing nature flows from her and it is very evident that she puts her heart and soul into her work. As a healthcare practitioner I have no reservations in referring my own patients to Krishna for her wonderful healing care.

Krishna has such a gentle spirit, and an aura of a natural healer. If anyone is ever hesitant about exploring acupuncture as an alternate form of treatment, Krishna will put you immediately at ease. Her space is inviting to all the senses, and strangely enough I equate my treatment sessions to the feeling you have after a great massage. Krishna is able to treat just about any ailment, don’t ever decide to just stick it out, just live with the pain, or think that medications/​surgery are the only forms of treatment. Luckily, I met Krishna at a networking group, and am so thankful for her treatment/​care, and I think you will be too!

My experience with Krishna has been outstanding. She has a gentle, confident demeanor and an amazing ability to see past the symptoms to the core of the issue, zeroing in on exactly where to place the needles in order to get the most positive results. I have found relief from several menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, dryness and irritability. My libido also returned and the quality of my life has improved immensely. She uses additional complementary modalities once the needles are in place and I have to admit that when I leave Krishna’s office I have a deep sense of well being along with feeling incredibly relaxed.

Krishna Bader, LAc has been such a tremendous resource for me in regard to my health & taking a pro-​active stance in maintaining wellness. When I had my first appointment with Krishna it had been a few years since I had had acupuncture due to relocating to Portland. I was suffering from headaches, right sided shoulder pain, on-​going tension in my neck, and a few other issues. After the first session I felt incredible relief. The atmosphere in the office is calming beyond measure, the energy work, sound healing practice, cranio sacral work, and a host of other modalities enhance the acupuncture above & beyond any treatments I have previously received. I got a little over confidant & neglected to maintain my occasional visits over the Holidays. I was recently hit hard by a cough & cold that seemed determined to get the better of me. ONE visit to Krishna’s office knocked the cough out! I cannot recommend Krishna highly enough! Truly a gifted healer & someone you can place your confidence in with your health. Do yourselves a favor by getting ready for Spring: be pro-​active! Don’t wait to suffer from allergies, or asthma or any other ailments typically referred to as ‘seasonal’. By being ahead of the game, health-​wise, you will be much more energetic & vital once we see the sun again!
