Prana Healing Arts

"It is such a gift to have Micah and her practice on this island. She is a true healer. I have been struggling with migraines and general anxiety. Her combination of acupuncture and herbs have made a noticeable difference in my life. I am calmer, more centered, less "on tilt" and I have not had a migraine in over 2 months. Micah makes you feel understood. She is an outstanding listener and teacher. I have learned so much about my body in just 3 months. Micah guides but does not judge. She is exceedingly patient and kind. Seeing her regularly is a gift I am giving myself - I highly recommend others do the same."

"December 9, 2023 In March of 2023, I began my visits to Micah Kalb and Prana Healing Arts. I am a 70-year-old female, a retired senior living in Snohomish who travels to Whidbey Island to see Micah on a regular basis. After 8 months, Micah tells me I am in “maintenance” mode. Now, I have a great story I need to tell you about the difference she has made in my health and life. If you are not having success with Western medicine, please read on! For the last twelve years, I have dealt with several devastating health diagnoses, surgeries, prescriptions with horrible side effects, humiliating procedures, emergency room visits and never-ending visits to my primary care doctor, specialists and labs. I will never forget my last ER visit where after a CT scan and bloodwork I was told by a provider “this is all in your head”. There was no therapy (and no empathy) offered on a follow-up visit with my PCP who prescribed “rescue medications” for cyclic vomiting and stomach pain. And, more referrals to specialists. And, more medications that never seemed to make a difference. When I entered Prana’s serene environment for the first time, I was warmly greeted by Micah and her trusty Lab, Sylvia. My appointments have always been on time, and I have never felt rushed or judged. This is such a big deal for me! During each visit, Micah takes great care to review any changes in my medical history, my medications and current symptoms. Each session involved a thoughtful and caring discussion of what I was experiencing with my overall health. She provided careful observations and gentle suggestions about steps we would take to address health issues I was experiencing. She then gave me acupuncture followed by updating and/or prescribing herbs. It took me a while to get used to taking the herbs, plus a digestive enzyme and a symbiotic. Those extra pills from Micah seemed like such an easy thing when compared to the relief I experienced. Some results were immediate, some not so fast. The most notable effect from the treatment I felt was a reduction in my stomach pain and inflammation! No more nausea and vomiting plus regular elimination! I am so happy to tell others about the relief I have felt. I have also felt a decrease in body pain – my old joints feel better than they have in a long time! I will continue my visits with my PCP every six months – since I began with Micah, I have had two PCP visits. My bloodwork has improved with each visit, and my doctor is impressed with the trends. My experience with Micah and Prana Healing Arts has been wonderful. A caring healer with strong, gentle hands, she is a trusted guide on my path to better health. I do not dread a visit to Micah like I have with my PCP and other providers, although I will continue to respect Western medicine for medical emergencies. Overall, I feel a great sense of satisfaction and less sense of “dis-ease” with my body. My many health issues remain on my long “problem list”, but I feel much more in control of my day-to-day health now. And that really is the bottom line – I was looking for a way to live more fully and with more enjoyment. With Micah’s care, I feel much more able to embrace each day and love this wonderful life I have been given. Wishing you good health and joy, Mo Z"

"I had been talking with my mom about trying acupuncture earlier this year. In March, while she was on a visit from New York we both decided to make an appointment to see Micah. We are both so very happy that we made that decision. My mom continued care in New York & I kept up a healthy routine of appointments with Micah. The first time I left with relief and I just keep wanting more. Over the last few months I have had less anxiety, peaceful sleep, and overall, just a much better quality of life. She also has a very nice office assistant who makes you feel right at home when you walk in, her name is Sylvia & she is absolutely adorable. I can’t say when I will be back in the Coupeville area, but when I know, I am going to make sure I stop in and see Micah."

"Micah at Prana Healing Arts is fantastic. In the four months I’ve been under her care, I have seen amazing results with my overall wellness. I feel healthier than before I started acupuncture and TCM herbs, my liver function has improved, and I no longer continuously have cold hands and feet. I am excited to continue my care with her. A bonus is seeing Sylvia, her beautiful lab mix, during my weekly visits."

"Micah is a phenomenal healer! I feel so blessed to have her help with achieving wellness. I have been seeing Micah for over a year, and I can honestly say her work has had a great impact on my health. Not only has her acupuncture helped me, but her guidance and health advice has also been great. She is a wealth of knowledge and resources. I feel so much more relaxed (especially when in her office), and she has helped me with several ailments. She even noticed things I didn't realize I was struggling with. I highly recommend Micah for anyone! I truly believe everyone can benefit from her work!"
