Since then, I’ve continued taking her herbal formulas, and my periods are now regular—no more clots, infections, or excessive bleeding. I completely trust Lotus Hands and highly recommend them!" - KT Phan
Pregnancy Support
"I was 16 weeks pregnant and suffering from severe fibroid pain. My OB said the fibroid was growing and that pain could worsen. The only recommendation was Tylenol.
Desperate, my husband found Lotus Hands. I had my first acupuncture treatment with Katherine that same day. After one session, I was already feeling much better—able to help around the house and even play with my dogs.
At my 20-week ultrasound, my OB noticed one of my fibroids had shrunk to half its size and encouraged me to continue acupuncture. I’m now 32 weeks along, feeling healthy, pain-free, and my baby is growing well. Thank you, Katherine and Anthony!" - Na Lin
"I started seeing Katherine in December 2023 to help with fertility. I gave myself 3 months to try naturally, following her advice and weekly acupuncture sessions. On February 14, 2024, I found out I was pregnant—just 1.5 months later! I continue acupuncture biweekly, and it helps me stay relaxed and sleep better. I’ve had no nausea or vomiting, and I’m now well into my second trimester. The clinic is quiet, clean, and peaceful. Thank you so much, Katherine!" - Teresa N.
🧠 DEPRESSION & ANXIETY
For those who struggled with anxiety and depression even after trying conventional treatments, acupuncture at Lotus Hands offered a new path toward emotional clarity and peace. These are their real experiences.
"I had been on antidepressant medications for nearly 14 years. After some recent life challenges, my depression and anxiety worsened. My psychiatrist wanted to switch and increase my medications, but I already struggled with side effects like fatigue, brain fog, low libido, and emotional numbness. I decided to try acupuncture. From the very first session, I felt real relief. After nine sessions, I am completely off my medications—and I feel better than I have in years. My anxiety and depression are gone. Anthony went above and beyond to help me. He is knowledgeable, caring, and truly passionate about healing. I now continue acupuncture for maintenance and feel like myself again. I am so grateful." - JAE Tran (Google source)
"I was hesitant to try acupuncture, despite many friends recommending Lotus Hands. After going through multiple doctors and spending so much money without results, I finally gave it a chance.

Anthony took his time to understand my health in detail and answered all our questions patiently. To my surprise, the treatment didn’t hurt—and I walked out with better clarity and mobility.
That night, I slept soundly for the first time in years. I’ve had lifelong insomnia, but now I average 7.5 hours of sleep every night. My second visit relieved intense pain and cramping. Anthony even explained what was happening in my body. I can’t describe how life-changing this has been. I truly believe healing happens here." - Nina P.
"I was suffering from nausea, loss of appetite, and deep emotional pain. I couldn’t function at work and felt hopeless.

She spent time explaining my symptoms in detail and showed me breathing and movement exercises to relieve stress. After just one session, I felt hopeful and energized again. Thank you so much, Katherine, for helping me find myself once more." - Sarah S.
"I came in hoping for something like a spa treatment to reduce stress—but what I received was much more meaningful. Anthony personalized my treatment and gently explored the root causes of my stress.

I highly recommend Lotus Hands to anyone seeking real, lasting wellness." - Allison M.

If you suffer from digestive issues, don’t hesitate. Lotus Hands is where real healing begins." - Rachel S.
