What’s all the Buzz About?

  • “I found Katia when my community acupuncturist closed her practice and she sent me to Katia. I am so happy I have found her! I feel calmer just stepping into the space, which is soothing and set up for healing. The treatments are always tailored to my needs that week and I leave feeling more grounded and physically at ease. Katia has also given me some great advice on supplements and ways to manage stress. I highly recommend her if you are looking for personable, holistic acupuncture treatments”.

  • Katia is phenomenal. I originally saw her for digestive issues but she ended up helping me with just about everything in my life. Heartburn. Pregnancy issues. Back issues. Pimples. Anxiety. Shortness of breath. She has a real gift for explaining in depth spiritual concepts in a way anyone can understand and use in their lives. I had no idea when I started getting acupuncture for digestive issues, that I would discover something so spiritually meaningful and helpful. She really cares about your physical and emotional health and is wonderful at what she does.

    — Lindsay

  • I found Katia through my insurance company at a time when I was dealing with a difficult back injury--well, the injury was resolved quite a while ago, and I STILL come to her for awesome care for various medical issues from pain management to menstrual issues to depression. Katia is a wise, compassionate, skilled practitioner, creatively using various healing modalities. She's intuitive and caring--one of the best listeners I have ever worked with and I am so very grateful to have found her.

  • Katia's acupuncture style is somewhere between shamanic practitioner, intuitive artist, ancient orient healer, and sensitive skilled listener. She's brilliant at maintaining a rhythm with the client that's appropriate to the present moment so that the co-creation of a beautiful healing experience opens to journeying through physical healing, emotional balance and accessing unchartered soul spaces. Each treatment has been different in it's own right but many have taken me to the temple, so to speak. What's most interesting about Katia's work is, within her breadth and depth of knowledge, her incredible skill of attuning to the needs of the moment is always spot-on for what I've come in for but also for healing and supporting areas I didn't even notice needed help. She's magic!

    — Amber

  • Katia is lovely! She is attentive, thorough and has addressed my needs. I came to her initially for perimenopausal symptoms and my life has become more comfortable since I no longer am dealing with hot flashes and night sweats. Thank you Katia! I recommend your services to people I come in contact with now looking for an acupuncturist.

    — Bernadette

  • Katia is a fantastic acupuncturist. I first started going to her around 4 years ago, and ever since she has been a constant in my health care regime. She presents herself as someone who is both professional, yet also as someone who really cares about her clients and the work that she is doing. It is a fine line to walk, but she does it extremely well. The time I spend getting acupuncture centers my life and makes everything easier to deal with. It is the peace of mind one gets by going to a counselor or a therapist, but a hundred times greater

    — Cameron

  • What a remarkable healing session I had with Katia tonight! I feel "returned to myself," clear and infinitely more at ease. Katia's gifts are numerous: she is a deep listener and wonderful investigator (her intake is thorough and generous), and she offers a vivid constellation of abilities and modalities. I have received nearly 100 acupuncture sessions in the last five years, and Katia's touch was stellar -- the movement of energy was remarkable and immediate. Her healing room feels luxurious and elegant, and she has lots of tools to weave in to your treatment if she feels called -- tuning forks and rattles and herbal concoctions. If you are looking for a practitioner who is both down-to-earth and astute, someone who might open "extraordinary" channels to inspire a new sense of well-being, see Katia.

  • I have had a lot of acupuncture treatments in my life to help with ongoing preventative health and occasional acute needs and I can heartily and happily recommend Katia. As a visitor to Seattle I needed last minute treatment for a back injury. Katia assisted me with the immediate pain and provided assistance with ongoing treatment. What a beautifully holistic experience. A beautiful example of the roundedness of alternative medicine. I felt understood and attended to on many levels and encouraged to facilitate my own further healing and health in other facets of my life. With no forcing or persuasion I get the feeling she would offer as much assistance as you feel like you are ready for :)

    — Penny

  • What a comforting, nourishing experience to be in Katia's care! She held a beautiful and empathetic space for me from start to finish: she listened attentively and compassionately to what I shared, offered insightful, practical resources and ideas to address my concerns, and placed the needles with a grace and precision that I fully trusted. I've historically been anxious receiving acupuncture; this was not the case at all with Katia. I felt completely relaxed on her table, thanks to her kind presence, her skillfulness and depth of experience. I left my session feeling deeply balanced and grounded. These feelings have persisted days after. Thank you Katia!

    — Erin

  • Katia is wonderful! She is very kind, welcoming and intuitive. Every visit is unique and feels tailored to respond to the events during the past week, I always leave feeling healed both emotionally and physically. She is the only acupuncturist I have ever visited and the only one I plan to see! Highly recommend :)

    — Arielle

  • Katia is the best! She is very kind, warm, patient, friendly, and helpful. She listened to all of my issues and concerns and she gave me very helpful treatment and suggestions. She spent extra time for my first visit just to know more about my issues and to give me better treatment plans. Thanks to her, my headache is gone and I feel a lot fresher and in a much better mood! Definitely, recommend this place!

    — Nina

  • Real professional.  I have had a fair amount of acupuncture in my life time (75 yrs) and Katia is one if not the best.  She was very engaging, thorough, asked the right questions, and provided a very positive plan for my healing.
I highly recommend her!

    — Wayne

  • Katia is a skilled, knowledgeable and intuitive practitioner of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. I initially went to her for chronic knee pain and digestive issues but her empathic listening and wisdom helped me connect with myself in a deeper way that allowed for more wholistic treatment and healing. 
I leave each session with a greater sense of relaxation as well as an increased connection with my heart and body.  She also shares a lot of good resources and ideas to work with between visits.
I was so pleased with my progress and her kindness that I introduced my 9-year-old son to acupuncture for the first time. She was fantastic with him and he responded rapidly to her treatments and said he hardly even felt the needles. Now I'm hoping I can convince my hubby to give this alternative but highly effective treatment a try. All in all, she's the best of the best and I highly recommend her!

    — Sakina

  • I am so grateful I found Katia! I've always loved acupuncture but really enjoyed the other modalities she used to help me -- herbs, functional medicine products, sound healing, and grounding/breathing techniques. She made me feel very heard and cared for. Can't recommend her enough!

    — Jacqueline

  • Katia is a very kind and helpful person. She has a deep knowledge of how the human body works and the factors which influence the health.
I saw her first on the recommendation of my daughter about a year ago to treat the discomfort in my left leg. While disclosing the health issues I have, I mentioned my issue with blood pressure. She treated me not only for the leg discomfort, but also recommended treatment for blood pressure. Since then, I have visited her a few times and I have liked the way she treats her patients. I recommend her without any reservations.

    — Rahim

  • Katia is a gem! She is so knowledgeable about the body and it's underlying symptoms. I leave each session more knowledgable about my body and psyche, and feeling calmer, centered and relaxed. She has a very warm personality, and is genuinely interested in you and your specific needs. 

I used to think acupuncture was a little woo woo, but am now a firm believer in its healing powers. I have convinced many of my friends to schedule a session with her, and they are hooked as well! Can not recommend her enough!

    — Rachel

  • I have been going to Katia off and on for years, for issues related to sports injuries all the way to the great eclipser "menopause"  Katia always takes the time to understand all that is going on with your body at that moment and does a front or back treatment accordingly.  Katia is so soothing to be around, that once the needles are in I get the best rest I have had all week!

    — Stephanie

  • I've been going to Katia for years and she is truly amazing!  She is holistic in her approach to health and really takes the time to listen to what is the root cause of your reason for making the appointment. This is extremely important to me when seeking out a health care practitioner and she never dissapoints! She's also very intuitive in her approach to healing which has helped me in my healing process in ways I didn't even know I was ready for. Katia's also very accommodating in making sure you get an appointment when needed. Katia is a trustworthy and professional practitioner and I can't recommend her enough!

    — Emily

  • Katia is the absolute best! She ALWAYS listens to each issue, giving great healing tools before the treatment even begins. I have had many acupuncture and cupping treatments and I always feel leaving like a new person. I also prefer Katia because nothing is cookie cutter, it is always unique to you on the day of your treatment!

    — Jordan

  • I have been seeing Katia for about a year. She is extremely knowledgeable with her techniques and application of the needles while being comforting and creating a relaxing environment. She takes the time to really listen to me and her techniques have been truly effective for my needs. I recommend anyone who is both new and experienced with acupuncture to see her.

    — Kate

  • I've been working with Katia for about 3 years. She has consistently provided a safe, healthy space for me to heal and has a strong sense of intuition. I recommend her to anyone, but she helps me most with migraines, stress and sciatica. Katia is professional and takes into consideration your comfort level with different modalities of practice. She has a vibrant and grounded spirit, and is a strong pillar on my healing team

    — Molly

  • I have been a patient of Katia's for many years. I keep going back because she just has a natural way with healing. Her toolbox of techniques is amazing. You may experience not only careful and pain-free needle placement, but also tuning fork vibration, singing bells, essential oils and chinese herbs in attempt to balance your energy. She takes the time to really understand what is going on to create her plan for treatment. Her training has taken her all over the world, and it really shows. Please make your next acupuncture session with Katia. You will not be disappointed!

    — Paula

  • I have been getting acupuncture treatments from Katia for almost two months now.  I had never had acupuncture before and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first but not anymore.  Katia always takes her time, listens, gives her advice and never pushes anything on you, she is very professional.   Every visit has been an excellent experience and I always leaving feeling so relaxed and at ease.  I would highly recommend Katia!!

    — Joanne

  • It's truly a place where I was completely comfortable and felt the healing energy. Katia looks at your whole body and her knowledge of Chinese medicine is a beautiful blend. I totally recommend Jade River Healing Arts. Come and experience it!

    — Diane

  • I often feel overwhelmed and nervous about trying out a new practitioner, but I heard from a friend that Katia was a gem so I decided to try her. First of all, her office is in a meditation center which feels really grounding and peaceful. Her office is also spacious and has a bright window and cozy feel. Katia took the time to go through a detailed intake of what I was coming in for and it was a lot of things! I never felt rushed and I felt a lot of compassion and care from her. She gave me a wonderful and simple  breathing technique and grounding exercise, but I also didn't feel like she was telling me what to do. It was more like a kind invitation which I really appreciated. When I got on the table, I felt like I was in experienced hands. I've gone to several acupuncturist before and her skill, efficiency, and care were excellent. I especially loved that she also incorporated tuning forks. That added a level of relaxation and integration that felt really sweet. Oh! And she also gave me a medicated plaster for free at the end for my injured hamstring. She also takes many forms of insurance which is super helpful. I highly recommend you take the plunge and treat yourself to really good care with Katia!

    — Emily

  • Desperate to find some solutions and a place to provide some nurture while I was visiting a friend in Seattle, he recommended I go see his Acupuncturist, Kaita. Never having done acupuncture but desperate to feel less anxious and overall see an improvement I went to see her. She was kind enough to come in especially (recognizing I was in crisis) for a session and WOW. SO much more than an acupuncturist, Katia is a nurturing, wise and caring soul! For the first time in a while in the US I felt like I was home and that I can relax. She did such a thorough assessment and also and really helped me understand what was going on in my body. I would highly recommend going to see Katia for acupuncture but also if you have any other problems she has tools and knowledge to either help you herself or recommend others who might be more suited to your needs! I am forever grateful to her for clearing my anxiety enough to be able to make some challenging decisions.

    — Lelanie

  • I've been a client of Katia's for about a year and a half. She is very calming and soothing.  I have found that I absorb the treatments much more deeply that way. Katia has been continuing to heal me through treatments and herbs and has helped me immensely.  I've absolutely noticed the difference in being healed by Katia, versus Western medicine.  I was seeing 8 different MD's over the course of the last 7 years. Now, I see Katia and one other. I absolutely recommend Katia.

    — Megan

  • Katia has walked me through good and bad times. I have had many struggles over the last 4 years, with her help I feel I'm on the right track to live a peaceful life. Katia's ability to communicate honestly and openly is essential to whole health and in return I communicate with the same amount of honesty. I struggled with having another baby about 3 years ago and not only did I (at 44 by the way) have a strong amazing little girl, but Katia was my birthing coach.I had home birth, Katia stayed with me the entire time, she took care of my first baby, who was also born at home. During my labor she gave my husband and I amazing peace around a pretty intense birth. I trust my health with Katia. If you are ready to get your life and health on track, this is a wonderful first step!

    — Ceci

  • Katia is someone I will forever consider on my "team of healers." She is a wonderfully talented acupuncturist, but really is much more.  She is engaged, cares and is genuinely vested in you as an individual.  Katia was my introduction to acupuncture 3 years ago, teaching me its benefits and proving it is a powerful compliment to my overall well-being. More recently she has carried a torch for me during a particular dark time - encouraging me all the way and reminding me how to visualize a path towards healing.  Her methods and countless solutions never cease and I leave each session a bit more relieved.  I highly recommend her and would refer anyone her way.

    — Kristin

  • Katia has treated me for a variety of issues over the years from acute injuries in my knee (an old PCL injury) and shoulder (a problem with my rotator cuff) to basic wellness and colds. She has also given me acupuncture treatments for when I've just had way too much stress in my life. I've always found the treatments to be very therapeutic and relaxing and always feel much better afterwards. And I'm sure the treatments have had a direct affect on the healing of my knee and shoulder. But her treatments are much more than just acupuncture. It's more of a holistic approach to healing of which acupuncture is just one part. She has also prescribed chinese herbs and helped me develop strategies and exercises around reducing stress. I've referred family and friends to Katia and all of them have had excellent experiences. Katia's approach is very caring and her concern seems very genuine. If you are interested in trying acupuncture I would wholeheartedly recommend Katia.

    — Donald

  • I have been a fan and active participant in acupuncture for years. The other practitioners I have seen were talented and fabulous in their own right but Katia exceeds the others by far. She has treated me for physical injury and pain as well as anxiety and sleep issues. Every single session is inventive, informative, dramatically different than the one before, and renders identifiable improvement in whatever issue was addressed. Katia is a perfect lesson in Zen. She treats the entire person in mental, emotional, physical perspective recognizing the how and why of the present state and respecting her clients goals for treatment. Embodying the client centered approach she does not push a personal agenda but will make phenomenal recommendations to enhance treatment that, when I have implemented them, I have been wondrously surprised and quite frankly delighted at how perceptive she really is. I can not recommend her enough, I simply do not have the space here to sing her accolades but it comes down to this: from cell to soul, she will make you feel better.

    — Hannah

  • I am so grateful to have found Katia!  I've was living with chronic stomach issues for years, but after seeing Katia regularly for several months I am finally so much better and my quality of life has changed dramatically.  Katia is caring, thorough, gentle, and patient yet persistent.   She treats the whole person and takes time outside of appointments to research individual issues.  She stays on top of new methods for healing and is incredibly knowledgeable about herbal remedies.  I continue to see her weekly and so much look forward to my visits.   I can't recommend Katia highly enough!

    — Theresa

  • I have been seeing Katia for over ten years for various ailments, anxiety, stomach issues, migraines, infertility and recently my teen has started as well. I wholly look forward to every visit.  Acupuncture has made a tremendous difference in my quality of life and am not sure where I'd be without it!! She's an amazing intuitive healer, calming, gentle and she takes time to really listen to you, and personalizes each session to where you are, and what you need in that moment. Highly recommend Katia.

    — Karen

  •  I am deeply grateful for Katia and her work. She treated me for difficulties with conception and ongoing back pain.  Her healing abilities are greatly enhanced by her incredibly compassionate and down-to-earth demeanor and her true desire to help others. Her expertise with acupuncture and Chinese herbs is highly recommended.   When my son Jaden was born, I didn't correlate his name to Jade River, but I don't doubt that the subconscious connection was there.

    — Tatchyana

  • After 3 months of weekly doctor visits and countless uncomfortable tests, i was recommended to see katia. i am finally finding relief from my symptoms. after and entire summer of feeling hopeless, i feel life again. i am thankful.

    — Patience

  • I have enjoyed every moment with Katia. She is the best acupuncturist I have ever had and she has listened to me intently. Katia is amazingly helpful and I am so glad I found her!

    — Andi

  • Katia is an amazing acupuncturist who treats the whole person - mind body and spirit. She is truly present and treats her patients with heart as well as in depth knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I always feel as if I have had supportive care and shifted whatever was ailing me when I leave an appointment with Katia. Her demeanor and the space at Jade River are incredibly soothing. It is also impressive how Katia continues to seek new knowledge that can be applied to her practice through ongoing reading and learning opportunities, and is open to new approaches. She clearly has a passion for what she does and a dedication to healing

    — Tree

  • Katia is warm, accessible, soulful and knowledgeable. I found it easy to open up to her and tell her all that I was dealing with and was pleased she could address emotional as well as physical issues with her treatment. She recommended a natural cleanse and possible liver cleanse follow up for issues that included anger, excess weight and general digestive and circulatory health. Her space is also welcoming and peacefu

    — Jean

  • I could not sing more praise about Katia. She’s really much more than an acupuncturist. She supports your entire being. She’s an amazing listener and will help you explore and dig and make connections about feelings and things happening in your body. I was lucky enough to come to her during a very stressful time in my life. I had been sick for about 6 months and couldn’t figure out what was going on. Everything had closed down because of covid but she was willing to see me remotely and work with the tools she had. She suggested supplements and helped guide me through and intense elimination diet which allowed me to discover multiple food allergies, including soy. If you’ve ever read ingredients, soy is in everything, so figuring this out changes my life. It’s been over a year since I started getting sick all the time and I feel like I’m close to a normal human again. Katia helped me through so much pain, especially the grief I felt around my own body working the way it used to before. She also helped me through the sadness, and the anger too. She also knows how to set a beautiful atmosphere in her studio and I always feel relaxed when leaving. :) I consider her a friend and I’m so glad I met her at the time that I did. I’m not sure where I’d be if I hadn’t done the elimination diet with her.

    — Tarryn

  • Katia is an amazing acupuncturist who took over an hour for me to go over my medical history and talk to me about what was going on in my life. She really truly cares about her patients. Her acupuncture always changes some thing for me immediately. I went to her while I was in cancer treatment & more recently I’m going while in detox from mold. I don’t know HOW she does it but she is truly tapped in. I would come in with a list of ailments and she would listen intently and with compassion and at the end of every session, I'd leave in relief. She alleviated EVERYTHING I threw at her!! A sufi accupunturist? She's amazing. I’ve been to several others around town & have never seen such an immediate benefit. 2 of the people I referred to her said the same :)

    — Amy

  • I am so lucky I found Katia - since she started working on my achy back, it's been like night and day.  My condition started to improve right away. Other issues I have had, related to menopause, have also been clearing up.  She has been my acupuncturist for over a year now.  I really like her holistic approach, her understanding of my health issues, professionalism, and responsiveness.  Overtime we have developed a good client/patient and healer relationship.  I strongly recommend Katia!

    — Joanna

  • Katia is the best ever! I initially went to see her because of terrible back issues. I figured I would give acupuncture a chance since nothing else was working (multiple rounds of meds, epidural injections...). I didn't have high expectations, but I was tired of being in pain and having endless doctor appointments that just resulted in everyone wanting to shove a prescription I didn't want into my pocket. 

After just my first appointment I started to feel a bit better. And after my second I felt much more open and relaxed. Since then, I keep going back regularly and have less and less pain - I was even able to wear heels again one evening!

Back issues aside, I feel so relaxed and comfortable that I began opening up about other issues; Katia is always listening, asking appropriate questions and giving me amazing advice and resources. She always goes above and beyond and I really am so grateful. 

My only regret is that I lived with all of this pain and negativity for so long and didn't reach out to her sooner. Now she's stuck with me! ;)

    — Louise

  • Acupuncture with Katia is a very full and rounded experience. She is thoughtful, kind, and understanding. I appreciate that she is easy to talk to and comes back with a holistic approach to healing any issue you come to her with. It is easy to see that she is passionate about her work and truly cares about her clients. Before seeing her I had never done acupuncture and was relieved that she made it feel easy and relaxing. She is also very flexible to your needs and comfort and does what she can to make your healing journey a positive one. Highly recommend.

    — Andrea

  • Katia is the real deal. She has helped me expand my knowledge and awareness of my mind and body as well as helped me correct some fundamental dietary imbalances that were preventing further healing. She is also great with kids and has helped my 10 year old daughter feel seen and supported , and has alleviated allergies we’ve been unable to get to the bottom of for years. Highly recommend others seek healing from Katia.

    — Christopher

  • I am so grateful I found Katia. She has helped me with so many issues. She makes it incredibly easy to talk to her and she genuinely wants to help you the best she can. She is always thinking of new and unique ways to address any issues. Best acupuncturist I've ever had.

    — Megan

  • I have been seeing Katia for a few months now. She has helped me sooo much. Not only with my back pain, but also my sleeping issues. I have been doing accupunture for almost 10 years now and she has been my favorite by far.  Not only is she super sweet, but also very knowladgable. I'm so happy I found her.

    — Melaine

  • I have been seeing Katia for many years. Her treatments always make me feel better! Several years ago she cured my bouts of vertigo with just two treatments. Lately, I have been seeing her for severe arthritis in my knees. The improvement has been remarkable. She is a skilled practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and an empathic health care provider.

    — Alicia

  • I feel so blessed to have Katia for my various issues. I feel like she genuinely cares about me, she doesn't judge me, she just helps. The first time I met her she helped me, I think that I slipped a disk in my lower back. Over the years she has helped me with arthritis, knee pain, foot pain, anxiety, sore neck and basically anything that comes up, Katia has a remedy! I cannot recommend her enough.

    — Renee

  • Katia has become a blessing in my life. I love when I come across people who truly care about their clients. She is always so present. She never makes you feel rushed and she’s great at what she does. I look forward to my sessions with her.

    — Jill

  • Katia is truly a healer. The first time I visited her, I was suffering from chronic pain in my neck and back that lasted for over 3 months. It was excruciating. I had taken prescription pain medicine at one point to deal with the pain, but my body wasn’t healing. It wasn’t until after my visit with Katia that I began to have significant pain relief and my body began to heal. I would be remiss to not also mention the relief from gastric ailments (epigastric pain, heartburn, reflux) that Katia’s care has provided me with. I now keep bi-weekly appointments to help maintain emotional, spiritual, and physical health. Along with her exceptional acupuncture technique (and depending on my needs), her therapy has also included cupping, sound healing, soul tending, as well as herbs and tinctures. Her work space is bright, welcoming, and very relaxing to the senses. I highly recommend Katia Durand to anyone who seeks healing and good health.

    — Clint

  • Highly recommend Katia! Her approach is kind, gentle, and healing. She listens carefully to what is hurting, physically and emotionally, and is able to set up an amazing healing plan that does wonders for getting you back to your best self. I always leave our sessions feeling calm and very relaxed and treatments have helped with hot flashes, bloating, neck and back pain, and overall emotional well-being. I'll never quite understand how acupuncture works, but thankful for it and for Katia. Whatever ails you, she has a solution!

    — Ms. M

  • Katia provides expert and caring acupuncture and other holistic health services. Her approach to healing is comprehensive and grounded in kindness and supportive care. We seen her regularly for awhile and her teaching, caring attitude and professional support have been really healing for us.

    — T. L.

  • Katia has been the perfect fit for me on my healing journey. She is an integral part of the care team I have established to help recover from anxiety, depression, emotional, physical and generational trauma, and surgery. She is knowledgeable across a multitude of disciplines as well as puts her patients healing and care at the front and center of everything she does. I couldn't recommend her more!

    — Sierra

  • I decided to try acupuncture for my chronic neck and back issues rather than taking more prescriptions. Katia was very thorough and patient during my first visit when I had many questions. It is surprising how painless the procedure is but if I do feel any discomfort she is understanding and quick to fix it. She also suggested some herbs to use in conjunction with the therapies. By my third visit I could definitely feel an improvement. I highly recommend her practice and the use of acupuncture as a treatment for pain.

    — Lori

  • I love Katia, her positive energy, and the positive energy and wonderful treatments I receive here. Katia takes the time to do a thorough assessment upon first visit to understand what’s bothering you on a physical and emotional level and develops a plan to help with your healing. I’m peri menopausal and suffered from hot flashes and night sweats and have been amazed with taking Estrovera Katia recommended. Works so great, I recommend to others. I also had digestive issues and through treatment and also doing the Metagenix 28 day detox, I feel 120% better, healthier, no more bloat, and have more energy. Katia is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and really cares about your well-being in all aspects and really listens to your concerns. I leave treatment every week feeling relaxed, energized, and peaceful. She listens and understands where I need needles or cupping and targets exact areas. I am always amazed at how wonderful I feel after our sessions. I highly recommend Katia especially if you’re interested in a fully holistic approach combined with emotional healing. A+++++++ If you’re new to acupuncture, Katia is the one to see to give you the most wonderful introduction to this practice. If you’re not new to acupuncture, but have had maybe a not so pleasant experience in the past, definitely reach out and try Katia. You’ll be thankful for her kindness and all of the positive things she’s able to bring to your life!

    —Chris

  • I saw Katia for a health problem that according to a healthcare provider should be surgically removed. I did not want to go in that direction. Katia used herbal supplements, TCM, acupuncture and love. She supported me completely and worked with me in more modalities than I ever dreamed of. I have used acupuncture for 20+ years and this by far was the best treatment I have received. I will never go anywhere else. I not only found an amazing practitioner but also a friend and sista.

    — Janine

  • My weekly acupuncture sessions with Katia have been highlights of 2022 for me. I found her as I was hoping to address some gastrointestinal concerns and discomfort, and she has been attentive and thorough in working with me to address those concerns and more. In our 6 months of treatment she has not only given me many tools for better health and mindfulness, but been a beacon of positivity and joyful living. Katia exudes the desire to heal and improve the lives of her clients and those around her. I think of her as an amazing healer but also as a friend, and I am sad to leave her practice as I make a life move to another city. I've already referred one friend and will be referring as many as I can, to spread the good of Jade River Healing Arts.
