I came to Liferoot Acupuncture with the aim of going off birth control pills once and for all. I had tried repeatedly in the past, but each time I would stop the pill my face would develop terrible acne. On the pill my skin was perfectly clear, yet I had all sorts of GI issues, mood problems, and no libido. I had found some success with acupuncture in the past, but in the long term I would always end up breaking out and going back on the pill. Traditional dermatology did not help at all. It seemed I was doomed to a life of artificial hormones with terrible side effects, or a life of acne.
Not only has Kym kept my skin clear after stopping the pill, but it seems like she's done it effortlessly. I sometimes forget that is the reason I initially came to see her because it's actually never become an issue. During my first month off the pill I started to break out and thought, "Here we go again," but she took one look, adjusted my herbs, and my face has been clear ever since.
Kym is focused and intent during our sessions, and I feel that she uses the perfect blend of TCM and intuition to develop my treatments. Her technique is also excellent: I've actually stopped seeing acupuncturists in the past because of painful needling, but with Kym I rarely even feel the needles go in. Thanks to Kym I have gone from looking for a cure to my hormonal acne to the goal of becoming a more balanced person in all aspects of my life.
