Testimonials

"As my 4 year old daughter says, ‘Krystal has magic hands!’ I am so incredibly grateful for Krystal’s amazing, skillful, kind and intuitive approach to healing. Yes, she has transformed my health but this post is all about how she helped my daughters! When my 4 year old woke up not wanting to walk due to leg pain that would have to just be waited out in the western medical model, Krystal was able to provide complete relief and literally sent her home dancing!!! When my 16 month old was showing signs of continued muscular and fascial imbalance and disharmony following a deep infection, Krystal corrected the issue, and was able to heal a developing mouth infection before it became a larger issue! She approaches kiddos with a kind a light heart, both of my children immediately loved her, and my 4 year old considers her a friend.”

“Words cannot express how incredible Dr. Couture is. If you are need of a healer, contact her. She is the epitome of what a healer is. I was suffering from plantar fasciitis so bad I could barely walk. I had been seeing a pediatrist for months with no improvement. I met Dr. Couture in her office and instantly knew I was in the right place. Her office was devoted to healing on almost every level, but most of all it contained a healer. A healer who listens to you, remembers you and even though she had many clients, Dr. Couture made you feel like you were her only client. I had my first visit coming in on a bright cold day in December barely able to walk. Dr. Couture introduced me to “Dry Needling”. I’m not going to say it was the most pleasant of experiences, but what I learned from Krystal Couture was that healing is not always easy, but the path to healing is completely worth it. After my first treatment I was a little sore (almost as if I was recovering from a weight training session) but I was able to walk! I was out for a run THAT NIGHT. I continued to see Dr. Couture for physical therapy, and 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. Thank you, you are one of the greatest people I know and you are one of the biggest things I miss by not being in New Hampshire anymore.”

“If it wasn’t for Krystal I would had never completed another marathon. I just completed my tenth marathon at 3 hours 2 minutes and 35 seconds on Oct. 9, 2016 the Chicago 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. With stretching, massage and pain killers the ache just kept persisting. 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 and plan on running for as long as I can.”

“Krystal Couture is a ‘miracle worker’. I had nagging pain in my lower back and also in my shoulder blade during the busiest season of my year. I was faced with driving 3 hours in a car and then standing for 6 hours when in a lot of pain. I called her and she put her magic hands on me, gave me some coping strategies for the ride 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. ”

"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. I still see Dr. Krystal regularly. 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! She's amazing!"

— Nikki Valcke
"Dr. Krystal is just an absolute light. I started seeing Krystal when I was 5 months pregnant and now I’m 7 months postpartum and can’t imagine where I’d be in my postpartum journey without her. She has helped me learn how to prioritize my healing and communicate my needs all while working to get my energetic body back into balance. She spends the time getting to know you on every level before she determines her treatment for the session. I equally look forward to our chats as I do the acupuncture. If you want to work on yourself, mind, body, and spirit - she is it!!"

— Ashley Egner
