This is my eighth year in private practice on Vashon, helping islanders find relief from acute and chronic pain, headaches, allergies, insomnia, digestive and respiratory problems, menstrual and reproductive irregularities, and many other illnesses and debilitating conditions.  In addition, I have been providing acupuncture for the past six years at Fairfax Psychiatric Hospital, and have become an expert in the field of acupuncture for mental health, emotional imbalances, and stress-related conditions.

Treatment in my office is never rushed, and patients who are afraid of needles almost always find that their fears are unnecessary. Acupuncture is really not a painful experience and in my office you will be well taken care of.

I am a Preferred Provider for most insurance companies, am NCCAOM certified, and offer low fees and a generous sliding scale.  I believe money should never stand in the way of needed health care.

Transformational breathing is a self-empowering technique using conscious breathing to improve many levels of health. There are many spiritual practices built around breathing.  In all forms of Yoga, the breath is an important component. Tia Chi and most Martial Arts work intensely with the breath.  As you open to your breath, you open to your life. It’s time to transcend the limitations of our sensory perceptions.

(206) 579-8994 

I am the catalyst, the client the healer.  Reiki assures a clear field for intuitive listening to the clients needs. I often use vocal sounds, which can help to release physical/emotional blocks, release stress and pain. This process often utilizes the soul's metaphors as they are symptomatically expressed. Also, I offer individual healing music, depending on the need and wishes of the client, usually including the harp.

Kim Newall
Elemental Energy Medicine

Certified Shamanic Practitioner and 
Dream Teacher Trainer

Shamanic healing sessions and 
dream work classes

P.O. Box 1861, Vashon

kim@kimnewall.com

 

(206) 359-1499

Shamanic methods use the elements of breath, plant essences, sound, stones and fire to facilitate wholeness.  Healing occurs at the energetic level of the body, clearing the “original wound” before it manifests physically. 

A treatment may include clearing and balancing of the chakras, scanning of the energy field to identify and remove dense energies, the removal of energetic attachments or intrusions detrimental to health, or the retrieval of essential life energy lost to traumatic events. 

Other services include Peruvian Despacho Ceremony to bring harmonious outcomes to important situations,  home and land clearing, and consultation, coaching, and classes in shamanic dreaming for adults and children. Office visits, distance treatments, and phone consultations available.

Kim Newall is trained in the shamanic medicine practices of the indigenous peoples of Peru. She has studied with Michael Harner, Alberto Villoldo, Cuzco shaman Jose Luis Herrera, and Cherokee medicine woman Mary Blankenship. She is a graduate of the Wiracocha Institute Healing School and Post Graduate Studies, and is a certified Dream Teacher Trainer through Robert Moss’s School for Active Dreaming.

I offer an integrative approach to Energy Psychology and BodyTalk, tapping into the body’s natural healing wisdom to generate well-being, vitality and resilience, without drugs or side-effects. Tuning in to each client’s unique situation with BodyTalk helps to identify and release unconscious patterns held throughout the bodymind which contribute to physical symptoms, undesired emotional states and unwanted behaviors. Goal of each session is to map factors that create imbalance, then assist the body/mind to get in sync with itself and the environment, so life’s stresses can be met by healthy responses. Benefits infants, children and adults.

I provide general health (medical) care to people in their homes.  Often episodic health care needs (such as sore throats, urinary tract infections, ear infections, etc) are easier taken care of by a home visit instead of waiting in a waiting room to see a provider.  I do no chaperoned visits, but most general health care does not require this type of visit.  I am an experienced (and certified) Rehabilitation Nurse, and enjoy helping people remain in their homes as they age and/or develop disabilities.  I am experienced in helping manage pressure ulcers (bed sores) and other wound care.   I do not accept insurance, but my rates are reasonable.

Hearing is the primary way most people communicate. Through our hearing we enjoy conversation, music, and entertainment. Most importantly, it's how we relate to friends and loved ones.  It's also how we are alerted to alarms, doorbells, telephones, or emergency related sounds. 

The Key Hearing, Audiology, and Balance Clinic utilizes state of the art audiology testing hardware and equipment, and has a highly skilled and patient-oriented staff. This allows us to offer the most comprehensive audiology, balance, and hearing disorder services in the Western Washington region.
