Healing naturally is entirely possible.
Hi. I’m Jeana Kaufman. I’m an Occupational Therapist, the founder of Holistic Alaska, and the top provider of lymphedema therapy in the state of Alaska.
I’ve always been passionate about natural healing methods. In 2023, I expanded my training and became certified in trigger point dry needling.
I know when and if dry needling is appropriate, safe, and able to help you get out of pain.
By blending these healing methods together, I help you get to the root of your pain and reach a new level of wellness.
Not only will I treat you on the massage table, but I’ll recommend effective lifestyle changes that you can take home with you.
Together, we’ll unlock pain points and problem areas within your body that make you feel better and on the path to living your best life.
Certifications:
Certified Manual Trigger Point Therapist / Dry Needling (CMTPT/DN)
Occupational Therapist (OTR/L)
Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT)
