PAGE PATERSON - M.Ac., L.Ac. #001
Page graduated from the Master's degree program at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland in 1989. She returned to Wilmington, N.C. and opened her practice as well as joining an established practice in Chapel Hill, N.C. In 1994, she sold her Chapel Hill practice and became full time in Wilmington. Acupuncture was new to N.C. at that time, and there was much to be done to educate the community about acupuncture's ancient history and its benefits. From 1991-1992, Page was vice president of the Acupuncture Association of North Carolina and 1992-1993 served as president. During this time the association was working hard to get acupuncture licensed in N.C. In 1994, acupuncture became licensed in N.C., and Page was appointed to the N.C. Acupuncture Licensing Board and served a 2-year term. The N.C. Acupuncture Licensing Board granted its first 6 licenses to the board members in 1994 and Page became licensed, #001.
Page was a licensed massage therapist for 15 years prior to studying acupuncture and has training in craniosacral, sacred geometry, essential oils and most recently has completed an intensive 2-year certification course in Chinese herbs from The Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Hallandale, Florida.
Kristin M. Althea, M.Ac., L.Ac.
Kristin discovered the deep healing powers of complimentary medicine when she took her first yoga class in 1995, and from that moment on she chose to life a life helping others heal. Kristin spent those years harnessing the healing efforts of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Medical Qigong, Yoga, and Meditation to then create Red Lotus Acupuncture Center, LLC.
Kristin earned her Masters in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, FL. Kristin works to help patients with a variety of issues, but has focused on treating patients with emotional stresses, pain, and women's health concerns. Due to her training in the style of Five Element Acupuncture, Kristin and her patients collectively unearth the underlying emotional imbalance to bring the body and mind back to alignment. Kristin offers powerful, effective treatments and brings a warm, humorous, and accessible persona to the treatment room. She is known for choosing unique, dynamic herbal formulas to assist the ability to bring the body back to balance.
Kristin also studied and practiced Medical Qigong with Paul Fraser, M.Ac., L.Ac. as well as Qigong master and calligrapher Master Ou. Kristin is one of only a handful of certified instructors of Master Ou's amazing style of Qigong known as Pan Gu Shen Gong, and the only instructor located in the Wilmington area. Kristin provides Medical Qigong treatments (similar to Acupuncture, but without the use of needles) as well as private and group Qigong classes at her office and throughout Wilmington. She admires the effectual use of Qigong as a way to prevent and reverse illness and dis-ease in the body, and loves to share the wisdom of Qigong's power with her patients.
Yoga-wise, Kristin was certified to teach through Yoga Life in Jacksonville, FL in 2008. She primarily teaches Yin Yoga, which is a very deep form of yoga that encourages students to hold poses for a longer time in order to get a powerful stretch. She believes this is the perfect balance to our harried lifestyles, and finds this type of yoga to be the perfect fit for athletes, those who are extremely stressed, or new yogis. Kristin is also available for private yoga and meditation instruction, and teaches classes throughout Wilmington as well.
Kristin hails from Massachusetts where she completed her Bachelors in Journalism and Comparative Literature. She moved to Wilmington to enjoy the surf and the friendliness of the people in town. She lives here with her pug, Jaya, and a slew of indoor plants.
Kristin loves empowering her patients and feels blessed to have each one in her life. To learn more about what Kristin has to offer, please visit her website: www.redlotusacupuncture.com

Awareness, education, and intervention are key to changing a life of dependence on mind and mood altering drugs and behaviors. Compassionate and genuine empathy is essential in guiding those seeking freedom from the bondage of addiction and a life of destructive decisions and behaviors. By thinking, feeling, and acting for change, the cycle of physical, mental, and emotional addiction can be broken, leading to a life of self control and confidence in the future.

Kristen A. Patton, DC, CMT
Dr. Kristen A. Patton is trained in diagnostics, chiropractic manipulation, and nutrition. This includes developing treatment plans with outcome measures to determine if current treatment methods are successful, if further diagnostic testing is required, or if a referral to another health care practitioner is necessary. She utilizes conservative techniques (soft tissue applications, Arthrostim techniques, and diversified adjustments) to facilitate the body’s innate healing ability.
Dr. Patton graduated Manga Cum Laude from New York Chiropractic College in 2009. She received her Bachelor’s degree from Indiana University in 2005 and a certification for Massage Therapy from The Baltimore School of Massage Therapy and Bodywork in 1999. She is also certified in Emotional Polarity Technique™ (http://www.eptworks.com/). From 2000-2003 she worked for DC United and Washington Freedom Soccer Teams.
As a massage therapist, Dr. Patton’s focus on clinical massage over the past 10 years has given her exceptional experience in treating both acute and repetitive strain injuries, pre- and post-surgery patients, and chronic illnesses. Because of her experience in the health care system and working with individuals in pain, Dr. Patton understands that stress and emotional trauma can impede the healing process. Her energy techniques are effective at relieving these blocks and therefore facilitate healing.
Dr. Patton decided to make Wilmington, NC the home of her practice, Feel Better Now.

Master Hypnotherapist
Life and Wellness Coach
Fitness Trainer

Mike started his Body-Mind connection studies in the early 1980?s when he suddenly began to feel anxiety for no apparent reason. It started to restrict his everyday activities and he knew he needed to find the answers. He started searching and found Silva Mind Development. He was so impressed with the results Mike earned a certification to teach The Relaxation Seminar. Many years later he began his Hypnosis practice and finally learned the root cause of those early fears. By utilizing Age Regression Hypnotherapy he released the negative emotions that was the root cause of the anxiety.
He has successfully helped folks face their fears and gently release the negative energy imbedded in them and return to happy productive lives. Along with Healing Regression Hypnotherapy he uses Gentle Direct Suggestion Hypnosis for weight loss, smoking cessation, athletic performance, self-confidence, stress and other issues. He records the Direct Suggestion Hypnosis portion of your session on your IPod or a CD while you are being hypnotized. At the end of the session you receive this recording to take home with you. The more you listen to this recording the faster you will see results. The key to transformation is repetition.
