Carissa Kelly
Lifestyle Medicine For The Soul
"I've been seeing Carissa Kelly for nearly a year and she is amazing. I was pregnant after a month of seeing her and she has supported me throughout my pregnancy. Not only has she given me amazing acupuncture she has also supported me through dietary recommendations, Chinese herbs and other nutritional advice. She has been my fertility and pregnancy encyclopedia and I recommend her to everyone. Hands down the best. Thank you Carissa!"

"After working with Carissa, I feel the space of possibility open up in comparison to before working with her. This is a wordless, priceless gift and place.
My experience with Carissa is that she places a priority on giving everything she’s got to the one she’s sitting with. She is in touch with her highest truth and that is her deepest offering. She prioritizes this over being careful in connecting. She’s not distracted by attempts to be seen as spiritual, intelligent or kind. She is generosity in action, in apparent form. In sitting with her I feel that the two of us are completely on the same team, and that breeds a hope and a deep remembrance of “my” and “our” resilience. This space brings forth a recognition, a witnessing and a reverence for the precious, nameless space within that is unbreakable. Gently and ferociously she honors the most precious thing, the Light from within. She is one to be trusted to sit with as a fellow traveler who will help carry the coals into the heart and support their flame. In my experience, she’s one to be trusted. She falters and admits which is why she is to be trusted- not because she has no faults. She values being human. She moves with the innate intelligence as a warrior of Love.
Thank you for valuing the holy space and honoring it Carissa."

"Carissa was a saving grace before, during, and after my pregnancy. My husband and I had struggled to conceive for 8 months before I sought Carissa's help, and in month 10 it finally happened for us! She was very clear through the process why she was recommending the treatments that she did, and I felt great knowing I was doing something proactive for my health and well-being. Given the state of western medical care in our country, having Carissa's bi-weekly support through my entire pregnancy was invaluable; it was great to have dedicated time to focus on me and my baby – and her help with the unpleasantries of pregnancy like nausea and aches and pains didn't hurt, either."

“I feel very lucky to have met Carissa. I’m currently 44 and new mother of a beautiful 7th month old baby boy. I started working with Carissa in May 2016. From the first appointment I felt very comfortable with her. She listened first to understand me and my situation.... and then made recommendations (diet, sleep, exercise and mental wellbeing). From there - she began treating me on a weekly basis. Each week she checked in with me and asked thoughtful and caring questions. I ended up doing IVF and believe that acupuncture and the care Carissa provided not only kept me sane but it also helped me to conceive and take the pregnancy to full term. I can’t thank Carissa enough. We miss you in SF Carissa!”

"Carissa has this deep compassion that you will either feel or unknowingly be affected by once you come into contact with her. In her presence, there is space to be completely vulnerable and share at such a deep level.
It doesn’t matter if I’m sharing from a place of love or not. There are no filters, no hiding, no shaming, no guilt. Whenever I connect with Carissa, I feel heard, validated and celebrated. As she holds the space for you, she sees YOU – not the façade or the image.
Your interaction with her will remind you of what true connection really is and feels like. Since she lives her values of truth and love with conviction, you will be captivated by her in a world where it’s so rare to find."
