“I’ve been seeing Dr. Cartwright for 20 years. He has kept me so healthy that I very rarely need to see my primary care doctor. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very caring. I especially like that he know’s so much about women’s medicine. Thank you for all that you do for me, Dr. Cartwright.”

I am nurtured and grateful in her healing hands.“

Acupuncture…
“My physician diagnosed the pain in my knee as arthritis and told me I would have to learn to live with it, but after several months of worsening pain and swelling that became bad enough to wake me most nights, I decided to try acupuncture. After the first treatment, the pain was reduced markedly and kept lessening for a couple of days. By the end of four treatments I had recovered most pain-free movement and the swelling was gone. I know I still have arthritic knees but feel confident I really will be able to live with them with Lauren’s help. She’s amazing.”

Massage …
“I have experienced other massage therapists, and have enjoyed them, but it was not until I met Kimberly that I truly understood how much healing could happen! I had a very painful rotator cuff issue. But when I combined her massage with my Chiropractor visits, pretty much all of the pain went away! Kimberly does not waste time “refilling” the oils she uses for the massage; she wears a belt around her waist so they are readily available. I appreciate that Kimberly makes the most of the time I invest with her; and her in depth knowledge of the body.”

“Lauren is fabulous! She is patient, calming, and really listens to your needs. I saw her for pregnancy related leg pain and it was the only thing that truly made me feel any pain relief. On the days she gave me treatment I would finally be able to get some sleep at night. Priceless when you are pregnant. I would highly recommend her! The office is pleasant, easy to get to, and ample parking. Call her if you are in pain, she can help!”

Massage…
“I met Kimberly through my long time chiropractor. She provided massage therapy for injuries sustained when I was rear-ended in a car accident (totaled my car). Between the two providers, I was healed and pain free within months! When I injured my arm in the backyard being a ‘weekend warrior’, I once again turned to Kimberly for massage therapy and relief. I have learned to never skip therapy with such a great practitioner. My husband and I also eagerly look forward to our total body massage appointments, as she is able to release stress and tension for hard working people! I highly recommend her as a massage therapist. Two thumbs up!”

“I was experiencing debilitating back pain for three months and went to a famous chiropractor and then my MD, then a couple acupuncturists… ugh, it was exhausting, nothing really helped. Until I made an appointment with Lauren, after just one treatment I felt much, much better. I will definitely be going back to her! I recommend you make an appointment with her for any of your healthcare needs.”

Massage…
“I reached out to Kimberly McKay after two months of physical therapy for a serious back issue – L5S1 rupture with spinal fluid leakage that was 250% above normal. I was in agony and knew that body work was needed to help me manage the recovery pain and help with the healing process. Massage has been a part of my life for over 30 years and I was eager to find a local practitioner who would come into my home, and who I felt comfortable enough to have in my home. In walked Kimberly; she immediately had a calming presence and I was put at ease. We talked about my health and goals for recovery and got to work. I had a 90 minutes session and she carefully and methodically went through areas of concern, checking in on pressure and explaining what she was “seeing” and feeling in regards to muscle issues. She is very technical, yet explains everything in a way that is understandable. She provided the perfect pressure and has the expertise to understand the mechanics of the body and associated issues, and will work to solve them for long term healing. I have been working with Kimberly for over two months and my fiance is now also working with her. We each have a weekly 90 minute massage and are confident that she is helping us with long standing back, hip and leg issues. My recovery is going quicker than my doctor anticipated, and I can confidently say it’s because of Kimberly. I cannot recommend her highly enough – massage for the pure enjoyment of it or because you have health or mobility issues and want a solution that will have you feeling good/healthy for the long term.”
