Origin Story

In this second episode of In Your Element, Kathleen Kenneally shares her personal origin story and how her path to becoming an acupuncturist unfolded. From her childhood in a medical household to her unexpected intuitive awakening, Kathleen’s journey is filled with surprising insights and powerful moments of self-discovery.

Growing up with a doctor father, Kathleen learned hands-on skills from a young age—assisting with animal care and even drawing blood in her dad’s clinic at just twelve years old. Despite this early exposure to traditional Western medicine, her path took a surprising turn when she discovered her intuitive gifts while working in cosmetics—realizing she could physically sense the pain and energy of others simply by touch. This pivotal experience, combined with her father’s wise suggestion to study acupuncture, set her on a journey to integrate modern healing with ancient wisdom.

Kathleen opens up about the core principles that guide her practice, including the powerful Five Element Theory central to Chinese medicine. She explains how the elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—interact with our bodies and minds, influencing both physical and emotional health. Listeners gain insight into how liver and gallbladder energy relate to springtime renewal, while adrenal health and managing stress take center stage as she discusses practical ways to support the body’s natural rhythms. As an intuitive healer, she also shares how her empathic abilities help her tune into clients’ needs, moving beyond physical pain to address stuck emotions and energetic imbalances.

From her expertise in acupuncture to her mastery of NAET allergy elimination, Reiki, and Akashic Records readings, Kathleen’s holistic approach weaves together ancient practices and modern insights. She shares the magic of seasonal acupuncture treatments that align the body with the changing seasons, offering support during transitions like the spring awakening. With her signature warmth and depth, Kathleen invites listeners to explore their own journeys of healing and transformation while staying open to new possibilities.
