“[Krystal] helped me through my own chronic jaw and pelvic issues that were aggravated after having my kids and is an incredible referral source for my own patients who need additional care I am unable to provide as a pelvic PT. She is a wealth of information and truly understands the body. I’m incredibly grateful to have Krystal as a colleague and healer.”

You cannot go wrong with receiving the best care possible from Dr. Krystal!!”

“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!

— Rick Gilligan★★★★★
“With Krystal’s knowledge and care, I am able to continue to move, dance, skate and do the things I love.”
— Gail Milton★★★★★“Krystal is the most kind person I have ever met. I starting coming to her my senior year when I was in a very bad place. Regular therapy never worked for me and I gave up on it because of that. It was like a light switch was turned on after seeing her every week. She gives perspective on life that those in general therapy cannot. Her supplements are top notch as well as I had abdominal pain and social anxiety and her tinctures worked very well. It is 1000% better than getting to pills. I can’t recommend her enough. My whole family pretty much sees her now. She’s the best!”
— Georgie Troupe

“When I see Dr. Krystal, I feel grounded. She really listens to what I have happening in my body which helps me to empty my mind. Krystal shares her expertise and knowledge. The plan she creates for treatment serves where I am in the moment and my overall health goals. By the end of a session, I feel clarity in my mind, my body and my action steps.”
— Michael Parsont★★★★★
“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 can not say enough good things about her.”
— Greg Litsios★★★★★“Since being diagnosed over 4 yrs ago with PPMS I have been “looking” for a balanced approach with managing the progression of the disease while maintaining daily functional mobility. And after one year of receiving acupuncture from Dr Krystal I’ve found what works best for me! I feel that my monthly visits for acupuncture have “opened” my nerve communication. And the subtle yet amazing awareness came from noticing, in a year, the feeling returning to my right big toe! With patience and understanding, through discussion and application, Dr Krystal has help me with feeling balanced. Thank you ✨”

“Krystal is the absolute Best!!”
— Kelly Gilligan★★★★★“I feel blessed to have found Krystal Couture and Pure Balance Holistic Healing. Krystal’s healing ways are unlike any other provider. She has made me a true believer in acupuncture and dry needling. I could sit here for days and write a book on what Krystal has helped me heal in my mind, body and spirit. Krystal is magic.
I truly believe that her and her practice is the key to healthy living. If I had to choose between any self care thing I do for myself- and what I can afford - I would choose acupuncture with Krystal over anything. She is a genuine genius, a true healer, a beautiful mentor, and I recommend this practice very, very highly.”
