Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to support the body’s natural healing response. It helps release pain-relieving and regulatory hormones, reduce discomfort, and restore balance—while being deeply relaxing and nearly painless.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive system of medicine practiced for thousands of years. While often associated with acupuncture, it also includes herbal medicine, bodywork, and energetic practices to treat the root cause of imbalance and support whole-body health.

Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils are a supportive addition to any wellness routine or therapy. They can help ease fatigue, calm anxiety and overwhelm, uplift mood, support digestion, improve respiratory function, and offer a variety of everyday household benefits.

Energy work is a form of healing that works on the bodies subtle energy fields-the protective shell around every living thing. I utilize channel theory, medical Qigong and chakra theory in my practice.

Chinese medical massage is used to address specific complaints usually involving pain and limited range of motion.  It is also useful in treating digestive complaints, menstrual irregularity and to relieve stress.

Cupping: A manual therapy that uses suction to increase circulation, decrease pain and improve range of motion.  It is also useful during a cold or to treat coughs.

Gua Sha: A manual technique that scrapes the skin using a flat instrument.  Gua Sha is great for treating some chronic pain conditions, colds/flus, headaches and scar tissue.  The scraping breaks down old scar tissue, improves circulation and builds  immunity.

Warming therapy used by burning Artimus Vulgaris, commonly known as mugwort, on or near the skin. Moxibustion builds red and white blood cell count-improving immunity and anemia, can stop stabbing or cold type pains, relieve menstrual cramps, speed up healing time, and much more!

Last year during one of the times I was unable to walk, Katie came over, preformed her magic, and after an acupuncture treatment and message I was able to not only walk but stand up straight.. I have been a repeat customer since, I'm only bummed that she has takin her skills up into the mountains.. You guys are lucky!!! Get in early she's one of the best!!!!"

I came to Katie to address significant energy deficiencies that negatively affected my everyday experience physically and emotionally.  While I appreciate wellness visits and routine diagnostics along with blood tests in the medical community, they identified no areas of concern. I was able to be treated through Katie’s diagnosis and work.  She has such a wide awareness of how physical, emotional and mental aspects of my body were in distress.  Over a period of five months, my body has responded very well for which I am grateful.

“I have had ongoing back problems for several years and Katie was a wonderful person to work with, very easy to talk to and my mood was quite improved after our session due to my back feeling so much better! I am a jogger and a yogini on a regular basis so I am pretty aware of the subtle changes and improvements in my body and I was really pleased.”

" I saw Katie again for pre and post natal care. After my baby was born I was having some trouble producing enough milk. After one treatment I saw a 50% increase in my milk production! Me and my baby couldn't be happier."
