I can't tell you how much John Kokko has changed my life.
He is the most intuitive healer I have worked with . I have lost
30 lbs, I quit smoking and have improved health and well-being.
I have my spirit back, my life back. I highly recommend him
to anyone who is serious about changing their life!

I had a really great acupuncture treatment with John Kokko Lim and he
definitely has a unique style. Not only did he treat my main complaint,
he also took the time to treat core issues that I didn't know I had.
It was the best treatment I've had in a long long time.
I feel 90% better after the treatment and my scapula pain I had for the
last 10 years due to an accident is better after 1 treatment.

After 45 years of frequent migraines, I have had the best month I can
remember, which has to be because of weekly acupuncture
treatments with John Kokko. Many fewer headaches, very few serious
headaches, lots of days with no pills at all, which has never happened
before. John Kokko is different from other acupuncturists I have been
to because he is constantly assessing what's going on with my body,
not just applying general theories. And he has taught me some
techniques, including acupressure and breathing exercises, that allow
me to deal with small headaches without drugs. I am hopeful
that my life will no longer be dominated by migraines for the first time
since I was a teenager.

John Kokko is gifted healer. He is interested in your well being and treats the whole person. I went in for a sprained wrist and got a whole body tune-up. I have had a lot of acupuncture with 5 different practitioners and John is the best by far.
Michele Berkeley
I have been a patient of Turtle Island Integrative Health for 4 months now and have been thrilled with my improved health. I have been receiving acupuncture for several years now with mixed results but the steady and noticeable improvement I have felt since seeing John Kokko has been remarkable. I highly recommend him. He is friendly, enthusiastic, professional and cares about the health of each of his patients.
