Did ya ever get catch a cold and think “maybe I should have eaten more then just chips and ice cream for the last few days?” Do you ever pick up something heavy in the morning and think not long afterward how a good stretch would have prevented you from the daylong backache you’re about to endure? Maybe I’m forgetful, or maybe I’m just getting older, but I need a little help from a healing heart every now and then.
After growing up in a family that relied on regular old take-a-pill-if-you’re-sic western medicine, I wasn’t ready till just a few years ago to start seeing healers that practiced anything other than standard U.S. medical school procedures. Sometimes I figure I’m one lucky guy. I think I’d still be going to the take-a-pill doc for my various ailments if it weren’t for the very lucky fact that so many years ago I was blessed to meet Katherine Krumwiede. I knew right away that Katherine would be a lifelong friend, but it wasn’t until after I made the leap of faith and called her for help, that I would come to know her as a trusted healer.
I remember calling her office for the first time a few years ago when I was suffering from a back pain that was keeping me from moving. I had mostly had bad luck with western doctors, spotty luck with non-western doctors and this time I wanted to talk to someone I could trust. While I knew she’d been in practice for a couple of years, I don’t get sick a whole lot and hadn’t yet visited so I still had no idea what was in store for me.
Now at this point I’m used to seeing the doctors who want to have me take a pain pill and go see a specialist, or tell me something less then reassuring like “I’m not sure what it is, but it will probably go away.” Looking back, it’s silly to think that I’d pay to go to a doctor and not expect healing, but that’s the space I was in. So when I visited Katherine and the pain in my body went from stifling to entirely manageable in one treatment, then entirely gone in two treatments without chemical drugs or side effects, I was sold, hooked, and permanently changed. I’d seen the light, and I wasn’t going back.
Since that first magical treatment I’ve gone to Katherine for every ache I can’t shake. Not only is she an ace with the acupuncture, but Katherine’s understanding of the plant world and use of the healing power of plants never ceases to amaze this gardener.
