Hello + welcome
integrative Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Services
Hi, I’m Katie Dautrich, owner of New Beginnings Integrative Acupuncture and The MAYA Center. I offer a variety of office hours, payment options, and treatment strategies to fit your lifestyle.
MY APPROACH TO YOUR HEALTH:
I have a very intuitive style which allows me to feel for more subtle nuisances in the body. I try to meet the body, the person, where they are in the moment. This allows for more trust, more connection, and more drastic change.
I have been influenced by many and I love having a giant tool bag in which to choose the best treatment options. I am also very hands-on and will spend a good portion of the session massaging, feeling, moving, and stretching the body.
While needles aren't for everybody, I still believe that Traditional Chinese Medicine is. There are so many different treatment options, so many modalities within its scope that even the most needle-phobic person can find benefit from this powerful medicine.
I specialize in treating emotional trauma and psychological disorders as well as pain, digestive issues, and menstrual irregularities.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
TCM is one of the oldest, continuously used medical practices in the world. It is a comprehensive medical practice that can treat most any malady by using a combination of physical and internal medicine. Many people equate TCM to acupuncture, but it is so much MORE!
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile, needles into specific areas of the body. It promotes healing by supporting the bodies own innate drive to regenerate and maintain health. Studies show that pain relievers and homeostatic hormones are released when acupuncture needles are inserted.
Acupuncture is nearly pain free, it is unbelievably relaxing and has countless health benefits.
TUINNA
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/GUASHA
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.
MOXIBUSTION
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!
ENERGY WORK
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.
HERBAL/NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
Chinese Herbal Medicine is offered in patented pill form or as an individual prescription. Herbal medicine is a powerful tool and can be used as an alternative(or adjunct) to most pharmaceuticals
Standard Process Whole Food Nutritional Supplements are one of the oldest supplement companies in the U.S and the only brand I trust. They use whole food grown on their company farm in Wisconsin to produce food based medicine based on the teachings of Dr. Royal Lee.

BLEEDING THERAPY
Improving circulation and breaking fevers for millions of years. All human civilizations have used bleeding to improve health.
TCM uses bleeding therapy to treat pain disorders, neuropathy, circulation disorders and psychological disturbances.
AROMATHERAPY
Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential oils are a wonderful adjunct to any therapy or lifestyle. Oils can be used to fight fatigue, soothe anxiety and overwhelm, uplift the spirit, regulate digestion, and improve lung health, not to mention all the household uses!
EXERCISE/STRETCHING
Movement is the basis of good health and pain free living. I offer individualized stretching and exercise programs.

testimonials
"I've been dealing with back problems for years, it's gets to the point that I can't even walk.. I've tried everything, and anybody with back pain can tell you nothing really helps!! 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!!!!" - Grant, Driver
“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." -Kelsey, RN
I originally came to Katie because of a complimentary session she gifted to me as a thank you for helping her on a personal project. I was hooked after the first session for a multitude of reasons: she’s intuitive and perceptive, highly knowledgeable, hands-on, customizes each of her sessions to my immediate and long term needs, and most importantly, her treatments are highly effective. I had been dealing with some chronic hormone-related issued and within a few months I started to see a shift toward better balance, health and vitality. Now, after 2-3 years of working with Katie monthly, I consider those issues to be resolved and keep returning for wellness maintenance and to work on other issues! She’s helped me with structural misalignments and injuries, emotional upsets and overloads, and hormonal imbalances. Frankly, I don’t think there’s anything she can’t handle, and she’s my go-to when I’m “off” and need help coming back into balance so I can again feel well. - Rose, Finance
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. -Molly, Retired
