“A friend who has been getting treatments from Kristy for 10+ years recommended her practice and I started sessions nearly a year ago. Her approach treating energy flows rather than the TCM style of treating organs was a revelation to me, and the personal benefits have been phenomenal.
Her depth of knowledge and understanding is obvious, and the conversations always thoughtful and helpful. I leave every session feeling energized and like I can breathe deeper, compounded by a sense of peace of mind.
Our youngest daughter is 9 and pleads for regular sessions, I’m so delighted that Kristy makes her feel comfortable and mindful of her own health at such a young age. She is a true jewel in the community, Fairfield is lucky to have her practice."

“For over 11 years, I received weekly Japanese acupuncture treatments to help manage complex pain, allergies, and chronic headaches. These sessions were essential to my well-being—balancing my Qi and providing healing that other approaches, like TCM, hadn’t been able to offer. When my longtime acupuncturist retired and moved away, I was devastated by the loss of such an important part of my care.
Thankfully, I was referred to Kristy through Dr. Katrine Hegillman whom I stumbled across and started seeing but then, coincidentally, also retired and relocated soon after! Dr. Hegillman had spoken very highly of Kristy’s use of traditional Japanese acupuncture techniques -such as using smaller needles that are more gentle, palpitating the abdomen and meridian pulses to assess imbalances, her use of moxibustion- and so I began seeing Kristy in April 2025. From our first session, I knew I was in the right hands again.
Kristy is exceptionally knowledgeable and compassionate, creating a warm, calming environment that soothes the nervous system before she even begins treatment. She has a remarkable intuitive sense of where my body needs attention and patiently explains her approach and its effects on my symptoms. Her expertise, combined with a sincere commitment to both my physical and emotional well-being, makes her someone I wholeheartedly recommend. No matter how complex the issue— mine are many—Kristy meets it with care, insight, and skill."

“I’ve been absolutely thrilled with Kristy as my new acupuncturist. When Katrine left, I was a bit nervous about finding someone who could continue the progress we had made — but from my very first appointment, I knew I was in the best hands. Kristy’s thoughtful, thorough, and caring approach put me at ease right away. Each session feels like a peaceful reset, and I’ve continued to experience real improvements week after week.
At a recent visit, I arrived with a cold, and Kristy immediately adjusted the treatment to support my immune system. It was the first time in days that I felt relief from my symptoms, and within two days, I was fully back to myself. It’s a testament to her skill and intuition.
She has made the transition seamless, and I genuinely look forward to every visit. I feel incredibly fortunate to see her — if you’re considering booking with Kristy, I can confidently say you’ll be in wonderful hands."

“Kristy Garry, at Garry Oak Acupuncture, is a highly skilled practitioner renowned for her remarkable techniques that provide immediate pain relief during treatments.
After the passing of my parents, I sought Kristy's expertise to help me navigate the grief that had manifested as physical illness. Remarkably, she was able to alleviate my symptoms without the need for medication or surgery. I am profoundly grateful for her extensive knowledge and experience."

“Kristy is exceptional. Her ample skills and experience are matched by her incredible intuition. I rave about her to my friends and family, and can't recommend her highly enough.
She has a gentle touch and a graceful and trustworthy manner, and her knowledge of Japanese and Chinese acupuncture and herbs is outstanding. Her clinic is clean and calming, and she's efficient with admin too. Amazing."

“I've seen Kristy off and on for years. I often go in for mental health treatments and leave the diagnosis to her. Every single time I leave enriched and ready to tackle life again.Treatment with Kristy is calm, intuitive, and accurate, even when I don't know what I need."

“Kristy is a fantastic practitioner- I’ve been doing treatments with her for years and have brought my child (and sent my spouse) as well (don’t worry- she can accommodate needle-phobias!).
I really appreciate her ability to tune in to root issues through listening (to me/my body).
Acupuncture for me is one of those things that I forget to do consistently but always receive benefit from (and then kick myself for not going more often). It’s good for a reset or for specific things (injury/illness/ongoing concerns)."

“Kristy is professional, caring, and passionate about her work. She listens carefully to her clients and always gets to the root of my problems. She intuitively checks her patients and has a healing touch. You are in great hands with Kristy."

“I can’t say enough good things about Garry Oak Acupuncture Centre. From the moment you walk in, you’re met with a calm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The space feels grounded, professional, and genuinely healing.
The practitioners are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate. They take the time to truly listen, explain what’s going on in your body, and tailor each treatment to your specific needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. You never feel rushed—only deeply cared for.
The treatments themselves are exceptional. I noticed real improvements not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. It’s clear they practice with intention, skill, and a deep respect for holistic health.
If you’re looking for a place that combines expertise, kindness, and real results, Garry Oak Acupuncture Centre is outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality acupuncture and integrative care."
