5 Star Client Reviews

“Krystal Couture is a ‘miracle worker’. I had nagging pain in my lower back and shoulder blade during the busiest season of my year. I called her and she put her magic hands on me, gave me some coping strategies and stretching exercises to do during the photo shoot. I was not only relieved of my pain but I have not had it again since. She is passionate about healing and you can feel that in her touch. Her energy is positive and uplifting. She has become my most trusted health care provider and friend. ”

— Joanne McDonough, Expert Make Up Artist & Skin Care Specialist
“After years of living with a chronic condition every day, I saw and felt results after my very first appointment. That alone would be enough to deserve a wholehearted recommendation. But the real magic lies in the way that Katherine and Dr. Krystal make sure that I feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Their focus on my whole being has led to improvements in my life that I would never have expected and didn’t know that I needed.”

— Jeff Robinson
“Words cannot express how incredible Dr. Couture is. She is the epitome of what a healer is. I was suffering from plantar fasciitis so bad I could barely walk. Dr. Couture listens to you, remembers you and even though she had many clients, Dr. Couture made you feel like you were her only client. Dr. Couture introduced me to “Dry Needling”. After my first treatment I was a little sore but I was able to walk! I was out for a run THAT NIGHT. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me, healing me on physical, spiritual and emotional levels. Dr. Couture is a true healer.”

— Timothy Thayer, Educator, Nature Lover & Creative
“If it wasn’t for Krystal I would had never completed another marathon. On Oct. 5 2016 at the end of my work day preparing for my last run before the marathon my right knee began to hurt. CALL Krystal she went out of her way to see me did her magic and I completed the marathon with a smile on my face and no knee pain. Four years ago I thought I would never run again, never mind another marathon. With Krystal’s persistence, expertise and loving being I healed and have now run ten more marathons.”

— Jeff Hatch, Marathon Runner & General Contractor
"Dr. Krystal fixed my back pain. I saw her both before and after back surgery. Seeing her before is what I believe helped make my surgery successful. Many years later, I am able to live without pain, doing the things I want to do to keep an active lifestyle. Whatever pain or ailment I come in for, Dr. Krystal is able to help me. I feel better physically, emotionally and spiritually. I would highly recommend her for all your Holistic needs!"

— Nikki Valcke
"My work with Dr. Krystal Couture has minimized my back problems to the point where I can routinely work out with my own body weight while weightlifting. It has resolved my sleep issues. It has calmed me emotionally. Our work has tremendously improved my overall awareness of my body and overall satisfaction with my life in general. I cannot say enough good things about her."

— Greg Litsios
"Krystal is a warm, supportive, and nurturing provider with a wealth of knowledge and skills. The variety of challenges that she can address in her practice will surely leave you feel taken care of and provided for. Give her a call if you are in need of a unique understanding and treatment approach to your challenges."
