I am proud to offer the best that Traditional Chinese medicine has to offer.
Read what some of my satisfied patients have said.
Chronic hives/rosacea/MTHFR:
Cedar, to me, is a priceless diamond in our community! She is amazing, intelligent, gifted, skillful, and is far more professional and more helpful than any “healer” I have ever been to.
I have had chronic hives for seven months (with break outs every day) and they were progressively getting worse. I also had way too many food allergies and seasonal allergies. I also had rosacea.
I have seen many doctors, a Naturopath, and even several other Acupuncturists. No one had any idea as to why I had constant hives or what to do to alleviate them. I felt dismissed and without hope. I have spent countless hours on the Internet trying to figure out this problem.
Then by divine appointment (I believe), I met Cedar while looking for some kind of supplement that might help at a local vitamin store. I was impressed by her interest in helping me solve this mystery.
At the very first visit to her office, Cedar was comprehensive and analytical in her attempt to look at all possible sources of the root cause of the hives. She seemed to enjoy the challenge.
She has been relentless in helping me solve this problem. She devised a treatment plan and also offered suggestions for what I could do on my own. After three months, the hives are now greatly reduced. My rosacea is much better.
I have also realized that I have a genetic blood deficiency, also referred to as MTHFR. One of the side effects of this is a reduced ability to get rid of toxins, which may account for the hives. Another side effect is a reduced ability to absorb nutrients. After suggesting simple measures to help with this, I now have more energy than I have had in years. And I feel just wonderful!
Thank you so much Cedar! You are such a blessing to me!

Depression & AnxietyI have often thought about what I would say in regards to the wonderful experiences and positive changes I received under Cedar's care. I initially came in because of severe depression and was desperate to try anything. I found Cedar to be very professional and caring. I felt that she covered all details during my many visits and once she even prevented me catching a cold! My depression went away, my anxiety gradually lessened and is now gone thankfully. I have also come in with back pain which she attended to and my energy levels increased as well. More importantly I have been able to get a full nights rest since I started seeing her. As many of you who struggle with sleep know, a good nights sleep is paramount! In one word, I would say that Cedar is 'blessed'. Her ability to heal and her understanding of my symptoms and how to fix them is what kept me coming back to her. That and her amazing attitude. She truly is a healer and I constantly thank and send good karma her way for helping me when no one else could. Thank you so much Cedar! To those of you reading this, Cedar is worth taking the time to meet with. Good luck in your journey as well.- K. F. Hermiston Or.InsomniaI've been a lifelong insomniac. I have been awake at 3am more nights of my life than I've been asleep. I fall asleep fine but then I'm wide awake between 2 and 4 every night and I can't nap during the day. I've seen various doctors over the years and even took a sleep test when I was in college. If you've ever suffered through a day at the office after a sleepless night, you know the agony that just one lost night of sleep can cause, now multiply that by a whole lifetime and you'll have an idea of the complete lack of quality of life I was experiencing.After a cancer diagnosis, I decided I had to get this sleep thing under control, it became a matter of life and death. I started seeing every natural doctor I could find to no avail. On a whim, I made an appointment with Cedar, though I'd tried other Acupuncturists without much success. Cedar was the first person to honestly take a whole body approach to my health and in doing so, has helped me sleep like a baby and has given me a new lease on life. I finally have the energy to catch up on mountains of piled up projects and to start my own business which I never could have done while sleepwalking through my life.
Cedar is a master herbalist and though it took a couple tries, we settled on a formula that has given me my life back. I had to miss a few days due to another medical test I was taking which required no supplements for 6 days, and consequently I didn't sleep a night that week. As soon as I started back on Acupuncture and herbs though, my sleep and my sanity returned!-M. R. Richland, Wa.
Chronic Pain
"I've hardly noticed any pain in my hips lately...I'm sleeping like a rock...and I have
much more energy (mental and physical). I am SO ENCOURAGED!!
Thank you again for generously sharing your wisdom with me! I can't tell you how
much of a difference it made for me on a lot of levels. I really needed someone to
give me some help and insight and truth -- I had been feeling so bewildered and alone in my mysterious struggle.
THANK YOU for throwing me a lifeline!"-J. E. Lyle, WA
Hemorrhoids
"I have sought Cedar's care on several occasions. Her herbs and tinctures have helped with colds, coughs and even tight muscles.
Being a performing musician can take a toll on the body in many ways. As a
keyboardist sitting on my rear for long periods, my hemorrhoids (caused by pregnancy) were becoming unbearable! After the birth of my second child I had them worse than ever. I tried creams, drinks, anti-inflammatories (pharmaceutical) for months and finally resorted to acupuncture. I kid you not - the day after treatment from Cedar they were GONE! I have to attest to Mrs. Kennedy's supreme acupuncture skills - otherwise I'd never even admit to the public that I had hemorrhoids!
I have witnessed her skill and intuition help alleviate many ailments from migraine
headaches to severe muscle distress.
Mrs. Kennedy prescribes herbs (which have done away with IBS for a friend of
mine), does muscle work, acupuncture and even non-invasive pressure point
work for those too skittish for the needle.
In short Cedar Kennedy's sessions come highly recommended. Her in-depth knowledge of the body, organs and energy flow is amazing. And her treatments are effective."- D. Q. Richland, Wa.
Overall Wellness
“Cedar introduced me to Chinese medicine, and has treated me with various Chinese
herbs and acupuncture for many of my ailments. Her treatments for anxiety, stress,
digestion problems, chronic low back pain, and severe colds have had amazing results,
and I am a much healthier and happier person as a result. I strongly recommend that anyone give it a try. I tried many different treatments and doctors over the years, and I can say that I’ve received more positive results with Chinese medicine than with anything else I’ve tried.
Cedar is a wonderful healer, and has always given me excellent health advice. Initially a
skeptic, because of the results I personally experienced, I am now a fan of Chinese
medicine and Acupuncture for life! "- W.D. Kennewick, Wa
Allergies / Pain
"Initially I asked Cedar to treat me for seasonal allergies because I didn't like the long term side effects of the nasal steroids I had come to depend on. During the initial
interview I was pleased to find out that she could also treat arthritis pain in my knees,
muscle pain in my back & depression as well.
I'm very pleased that after a handful of visits, I no longer have sharp pain and very little stiffness in my knees. The muscle pain in my back is gone. My allergies this season
have been very mild and I feel great."- M.J. Richland, Wa.
