My mother had been suffering from severe back pain for months due to several osteoporotic fractures, so we decided to try acupuncture for the first time. Keiko was extremely personable from the moment we arrived, and she has an extensive knowledge of many healing modalities. After only one session of acupuncture and laser therapy, my mom’s pain was reduced. We simply told Keiko where it hurts and she placed the needles quickly and gently. We are now on the second week of therapy and the results are extremely promising. Reduced pain and increased range of motion. For anyone who hasn’t tried acupuncture before, definitely give this place a chance. Thank you for what you do, Keiko!

I walked in the first day stiff, aching and tense. I walked out feeling refreshed, relaxed and mostly pain free. Each subsequent visit has provided much needed relief for my neck, back and knee pain. Dr. Keiko is amazing. If youre suffering and cant find anything that seems to work for you, please at LEAST try this place. You may be surprised at the results.

If you are looking for real acupuncture healing, Dr. Keiko is THE BEST! I never believed in acupuncture before, until now… In less than six weeks, the rapid progress to both my mental and physical health have been life-changing. I cannot wait to continue treatments with her and their office’s INCREDIBLE team!

My experience at LAA has been nothing but exceptional. Keiko is a master at her craft and uses a wide variety of effective treatment modalities that have significantly reduced my pain levels and increased my range of motion. I would recommend her to anyone seeking proven approaches to treatment without the use of OTC/prescription pain medications.Thanks, Keiko!

Dr. Keiko has helped me out immensely. Our first visit we did acupuncture for my body and Laser Therapy for my hand that I had injured. Not only did I feel healthier after getting my acupuncture treatment but the laser therapy had an amazing impact on the healing process of my right hand. After several visits and multiple acupuncture and laser treatments I now have better clarity mentally and Almost no pain physically. I would recommend seeing Dr. Keiko for anyone who is looking for a detox or anyone who is bouncing back from an injury.

When I was diagnosed with cervical degenerative disc disease my symptoms were increasing pain and decreased range of motion. Keiko was absolutely amazing helping with pain management and improved range of motion! She has made this a wonderful experience and I am extremely satisfied with the progress.

Dr. Keiko is an exceptional DOM. I have recently been seeing her to keep my thyroid in check as well as dealing with some muscular pain. Her knowledge of both Japanese and Chinese medicine set her apart. She truly is amazing. I have been feeling great, more energized, balanced and pain free since starting treatment with her.

Dr.Keiko Dodson has helped me with stress reduction and knee pain relief through acupuncture and laser treatments. I have more energy and have experienced weight loss with Keikos Fit & Fabulous Weight Loss Program. I am so happy I found Keiko and highly recommend her!

Review 15 (2022-12-24 - Rating: 5)
Keiko did a great job she worked on my stiff neck and injured legs. Her treatment was not limited to accupunture but she used several modalities on top of accupunture to address my problem. I see one of the chiropractor s in the office who referred me to Keiko. I am glad he did

Review 16 (2021-01-04 - Rating: 5)
Dr. Keiko is amazing. I sit at the computer all day. Needless to say, my neck and back become all knotted up. Dr. Keikos sessions are very different from the acupuncturist I have visited in the past. She uses a blend of traditional oriental medicine techniques, such as Chinese and Japanese acupuncture, cupping and minor tech to make those techniques more effective. The results have been awesome. More movement, without pain or limitation. I also find the sessions very relaxing, so my visits to Dr. Keiko are a great stress reliever. I cannot recommend her more. Thanks Dr. Keiko!

Dr. Keiko Dotson has been treating me with acupuncture to increase my energy, decrease my appetite, and to improve my mood. We’ve been highly successful and she has helped me renew my enthusiasm for life. Life Awaits Acupuncture is a calming place where Keiko helps you relax and achieve better balance. I highly recommend.

Review 18 (2023-12-05 - Rating: 5)
I was REALLY messed up before coming here to see Dr. Keiko. She’s truly amazing. I had deep tissue problems and nerve damage all down my right arm. I was a skeptic walking in and a true believer walking out. I would send any of my friends and family here without hesitation.

Review 19 (2023-06-07 - Rating: 5)
Keiko works magic! I have chronic illnesses as well as problems that I have had for years that no one has been able to help with and Keiko fixed them right away! I always look forward to acupuncture, which I never thought Id say!

Dr. Keiko helped me in many areas of my health care and I have truly discovered the benefits of Acupuncture. My body responds well her different treatment methods and modalities of delivery. I spend a great deal of time in my business using the computer, causing a great deal of tightness and pain in my neck and shoulders. I have received much pain relief from Dr. Keiko’s acupuncture combined with fire-cupping treatments. She gives careful examination of what is going on with my inner / outer and overall health. All of her treatments are high quality as she ensures that I have received benefit of pain relief. I also have a general feeling of well-balance after her treatments. Dr. Keiko Dodson is quite knowledgeable with her mastery herbalist skills, she has helped me quite well with herbs working towards healing multiple areas inside my body. Dr. Keiko has an incredible high passion for helping people! I highly recommend Dr. Keiko for achieving quality health. She is a fabulous healer and a wonderful person!

Keiko is truly an amazing acupuncturist! A friend of mine recommended me Keiko. I was in pain because of an Achilles injury, and so stressed because of my work. I was a mess, physically as well as emotionally. But she did it! I went 6 weeks in a row first, and could see weeks after weeks how I was getting stronger and feeling way better! Keiko helped also my mum. She came here to visit me and had several issues which were bothering her a lot since years. I was so impressed to see how my mums health improved! Not only that, she looks so much younger now. Keiko is dedicated to help people. She is taking the time to understand your problem to solve it at the source. I highly recommend Keiko! She is truly amazing!

Cindy Snyder· March 24, 2018I absolutely love Dr Keiko! This review is way overdue. I have been going to Dr Keiko for about 1 year now. I initially went to try her holistic facials with acupuncture. I had a 6 week course before going on vacation and was beyond thrilled with the results. Fine lines smoothed out and my skin texture smoother & firmer. My husband said it was the best my skin had looked in years! I love her so much because I started chatting about all my aches & pains and before long she was treating me for my allergies, shoulder pain & other health issues. Dr Keiko is very gentle and very attentive. I really like that she takes her time and is thorough. Feeling like a valued patient while getting good results is a rarity with doctors!

Review 28 (2019-04-09 - Rating: 5)
I see Keiko there for acupuncture once a week, and she is absolutely amazing! She practices both traditional Chinese medicine as well as Japanese style acupuncture. She is so incredibly attentive as well as remembering everything Ive ever told her about my injuries. She listens to everything I have to say and she does everything she can to help alleviate the pain. I have had experience with traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture before and it was not a good one. She decided to use the Japanese style on me, and it has been incredibly effective. I am a U.S. Marine Veteran, and I suffer from intense chronic pain from injuries sustained during my active duty service, along with a car accident and a motorcycle accident. I was prescribed multiple pain medications and muscle relaxers after the accidents but nothing ever worked...until I started treatment with Keiko. After the very first appointment she was able to alleviate the pain, and I have been able to live my life again because of her treatments. I absolutely recommend making an appointment with her! Trust me, you will not regret it!

Dr.Keiko has a unique approach to treating her patients. I have had many treatments of both her massage and acupuncture. Her needing technique is extremely powerful where you can actually feel the difference immediately.Along with acupuncture, she also incorporates other forms of treatment like ultrasound, micro current,Class 4 laser,cupping, and guasha.Depending on the diagnosis as well, she may also utilize direct moxibustion. She is very versatile in her work and really is able to utilize different techniques to target the affect area.From a person experience,my shoulders and neck have always been super tight but after five minutes with her,I could feel the tension in them release almost immediately. She has also helped me with a lot of other issues I’ve had as well.Each treatment with her is truly life changing and I highly recommend you to come see her !

Review 30 (2019-12-09 - Rating: 5)
Dr. Keiko is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I have been dealing with a long term health issue that I truly thought would never get resolved. As a teenager, I developed acne and was sent to dermatologists over the years. I then in turn developed a severe candida infection from over prescribed use of antibiotics. Then from there SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) and leaky gut. I would get in terrible gut pain after I ate, especially wheat products and refined sugars. I modified my diet but even then, I still had issues. Dr. Keiko Dodson has completely cured me from this, and I no longer have acne and NO MORE GUT PAIN!! I eat whatever I want now without problems. I had been to nutritionists and other acupuncturists in the past, but to no avail. Dr. Keiko is highly educated in her field and the most compassionate health care provider I have ever been in contact with. She goes the extra, extra, extra mile. Her services are affordable and I cannot express my gratitude to her enough! She literally has changed my life for the better! I have recommended her to all my family and friends, and they too couldnt agree more. Whatever your ailment, go see Dr. Keiko, I promise you... you wont regret it.

I can not say enough good things about Keiko. I have been dealing with pain on my right side from hip to toe for more than 4 years due to a compressed bulging disc. I have seen 5 chiropractors 1 pain management doctor several massage people 1 acupuncturist a cupping person, I have spent thousands of dollars over the years with ZERO relief. With Keiko I had relief the first visit. I have now had 4 visits and the name of her business could not be any more accurate. Life does await after working with her. I only wish I had found her long ago. I lost a lot of living over the years. God Bless her. Dont hesitate she is the one.

Dr. Keiko has helped me with everything from an upset stomach to sleeping issues to back and headaches. She always takes the time and effort to make sure I always walk out of the office feeling great. Dr. Keiko personalizes my treatment to how Im feeling at the time of my appointment. I dont think you can receive better treatment than she provides.

I have suffered with chronic neuropathy in my feet and legs for five years. This last two years it has become severe and unbearable at times. About a year ago, the numbness began to move up my legs to my knees which caused my legs to feet very heavy and cause me to trip often. In January of 2018, I began seeing Dr. Keiko. Dr. Keiko is knowledgeable, professional, educated, and caring. She is always determined to ease the pain and discover the root cause of the issues. The severity of the neuropathy in both my feet have become less painful and the numbness going up my legs have disappeared. My energy levels have increased and I have become more active, happier and healthier. My quality of life is at an all-time high and I am thanking Dr. Keiko for those improvements. No matter what your health concern is, lease give Dr. Keiko a call today and schedule a consultation and get started on your path to better health, les pain and a happier more active life style.

I suffered from plantar faciatis until I went to see Keiko at Life Awaits. Keiko used a few different modalities to treat the issue and I noticed significant improvement after just the first visit. She gave me some homework exercises and by the time I finished my third session, the problem was resolved. The office is professional, courteous and caring.
