Essential Oils to Support the Emotional Heart

Essential oils are very beneficial to our physical and emotional well-being, and can be a lovely addition to our daily routine. Sometimes disharmony of the Fire element can be seen as anxiety, depression, agitation, insecurity, insomnia, and restlessness. There is a sense the the mind is unable to settle.
These are some of my favorite oils that support the element of Fire, balance the emotional energy of the heart, support the emotions of love and joy, and the season of Summer.Jasmine oil is the perfect aromatic, to help lift the spirits. It is considered an antidepressant, and euphoric as its warm exotic floral comforts and uplifts the emotions. Jasmine oil can reawaken passion and restore our creativity as it both calms and connects us to our deepest desires.

Ylang ylang oil is helpful in easing emotional anxiety and connects us to our sensuality. It clears heat fro the energetic heart, relieving nervous tension, palpitations, restlessness, insomnia, and agitation. It both calms and uplifts the mind.

Lavender oil cools and smooths the Heart energy, and is one of the most comforting oils for the spirit/mind. It is also considered an antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory, lending itself to many uses in healing the body. Lavender’s fresh, soft fragrance can help with insomnia, palpitations, and nervous tension.

Rose oil traditionally symbolizes love, and its fragrance has been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac. it nourishes the heart energy and has a cooling, calming, supportive effect. this oil alleviates anxiety that is caused by fear and insecurity, and is reassuring in emotional wounds, restoring trust and making it possible to love again (including self-love)

Healing tendons and muscles

As a long distant Ultra runner, I have successfully used acupuncture as a way of healing tendons and muscles. Add the huge benefit of recovery and energy treatments before and after racing, makes Kathleen Kenneally’s Acupuncture services a must for me as an athlete.

Help with my sciatica problem

I first went to Kathleen Kenneally when a sciatica problem was interfering with my daily life. I’m not a fan of needles, so it took a lot for me to schedule an appointment. At my first appointment, Kathleen immediately put me at ease with her warm and thoughtful manner. She was concerned with my total well-being not just my sciatica issue. She also explained that acupuncture needles are not the same ones used for drawing blood or giving injections, they are completely different which is why they don’t hurt. From my very first treatment I was sold on the benefits of acupuncture. The pain quickly went away and I was able to resume my exercise program. After a series of treatments, I now only go in for occasional treatments when I encounter low back pain. I also go to Kathleen four times a year for seasonal treatments. These are specific treatments given to reset the body to ease it into the new season. Since I have been having these treatments for the past year and a half, I no longer get all those flues and colds that circulate every season. Kathleen is an excellent acupuncturist who explains everything in detail before performing any treatment. She spends quality time with her patients to assure the best treatment possible, which in turn assures the greatest outcome. I highly recommend her for any issue you may be encountering.

My body loves Kathleen and those needles

Eleven years ago, I was injured at work. My mobility and flexibility were severely limited, and I was basically confined to my bed. It was recommended to me that I make an appointment to see this amazing acupuncturist, Kathleen Kenneally. From that initial appointment to this day I have seen Kathleen on a regular basis as part of maintaining a healthy routine for my wellness and well-being. With Kathleen, I know that I will leave her office feeling better than when I entered. Needless to say, my body loves Kathleen and those needles. – Sheila T

Treatment of a pulled Achilles tendon

I was first recommended to Kathleen because of a pulled Achilles tendon. I tend to avoid needles, but she put me at ease right from the start and I found the treatment to be painless and quite relaxing. A couple of acupuncture treatments were enough to get me back running and allowed me to compete in a long distance relay race. Kathleen has also helped me with identifying and negating the various sources of allergies that I suffer from. I often recommend friends to consider acupuncture treatment through Kathleen if they are dealing with injuries.

Acupuncture treatment for running injury

After having no luck with conventional doctors treating me for a running injury, acupuncture was suggested to me by a fellow runner. After having no luck with conventional doctors treating me for a running injury, acupuncture was suggested to me by a fellow runner. This is how I came to know Kathleen Kenneally. I have to admit I was skeptical a first, but Kathleen’s knowledge and gentle manner soon put me at ease. She is very thorough when asking questions to treat the cause of your problem. I have been treated by Kathleen for various problems over the past 5 years and have recommended her highly to friends and family. Acupuncture has been proven to work for a variety of medical issues. My daughter has severe carpal tunnel and was helped greatly by acupuncture treatment. Conventional HMO medical doctors are too quick to always prescribe a pill for any problem. All drugs can have potential side effects. We should use them sparingly and with caution. Kathleen can achieve the same or better results without the side effects in her wonderful acupuncture office.

Kathleen is the only acupuncturist I trust.

Kathleen is the only acupuncturist I trust. She is a true healer who understands that our bodies and our soul work together and she uses all facets of her immense knowledge to bring harmony to our lives. Katheen is full of compassion, and she is a great listener who understands people and how to make them better. Over the years, Kathleen has treated me for my chronic migraines, now significantly diminished after a lifetime of suffering! Kathleen is the best…and I won’t go to anyone else.

Clearing up a contagious skin virus

Kathleen Kenneally of Kenneally Acupuncture is amazing, to say the least. Her warm, caring manner and expertise has really made a difference in my family’s health and well-being. In early 2006 my 12 year old son was diagnosed with a rather hearty, highly contagious skin virus that was said it would take 2-3 years of treatment to rid him of. After searching my resources, I found Kathleen available and more than willing to research the virus and treat my son. Less than one year later, my son has been cleared of the virus and has a clean bill of health! Thank you, Kathleen, for taking such great care of my family! You truly have a gift.

When I was 35 weeks pregnant, my baby became transverse – sideways!

“When I was 35 weeks pregnant, my baby became transverse – sideways! My midwife was very concerned. We tried to ‘flip’ her manually and via exercises, but no luck. She told me to try acupuncture with Dr. Kathleen Kenneally. 15 minutes into my treatment, I felt my baby move dramatically and then ‘pop’ right into place, head down. It wasn’t painful – just shocking! I went to my midwife immediately after and she confirmed that ‘Kathleen did it again.’ I shared this in my ‘mom’ Facebook group and numerous other patients shared that Kathleen had also worked miracles for them. She is a blessing!”

Seasonal Allergies Acupuncture Treatments have kept me from getting sick

I had wanted to try acupuncture for years and was very happy to finally have been referred to Kathleen by numerous people in our community. My experiences with you and your treatments on me have been profound and wonderful! Firstly, I must tell you that, as a child born with a birth defect, I have had a very poor immune system my entire life. EVERY year I inevitably get at least one, if not more, flu or terrible illnesses/viruses. Since I have seen you and had the seasonal acupuncture treatments, along with my other treatments, I HAVE NOT GOTTEN SICK ONCE. It’s unbelievable. Secondly, many of the allergies I have been suffering with throughout my adulthood and which have been treated by you has virtually disappeared. I thank you for the compassion, tenderness, thoughtfulness and wholehearted approach you take to the work you do. I am forever grateful.

The treatments are relaxing, and the needles do not hurt.

I started to see Kathleen Kenneally for migraines. She helped to lessen them and eventually I stopped getting them regularly. I only get them occasionally. She helped me with maintaining pregnancies after my miscarriages. We have 3 healthy kids now. She is very compassionate and caring and we still go to her for any health issues or injuries. She helps ease pain and to clear the energy so your body can heal naturally after treatment. Our kids see her to keep their energy open and to work on food sensitivities. We would highly recommend her for any issues you might have or to just boost your immune system. The treatments are relaxing, and the needles do not hurt. I feel an immense calm and an energy reset after treatments. I highly recommend her!

I thank you for giving me my life back.

Just a quick note to say “Thank you” for everything you have done for me. I had not been feeling well for quite some time. The doctors and specialists wanted to just put me through tests and prescribe drugs, but still nothing seemed to help me. When a dear friend referred me to you, I was an emotional wreck, depleted of everything and down to my last nerve. You were so kind and with such a beautiful and calming presence that just after my first visit, I knew I was in good hands. Within just a short time, I felt better than I had in years. You eased my fears and brought harmony back into my body. I can certainly understand why you have been voted the “Best Acupuncturist” for so many years. With heartfelt gratitude, I thank you for giving me my life back.
