Katherine McCune D.O.M., L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
I had no idea that the sickness I was suffering from as a 16-year-old would turn out to be life changing in more ways than one. My debilitating symptoms, which were finally diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome, remained untreated despite the many Western interventions I was prescribed. This went on for several months, severely impacting my ability to function, until my coach gave me the name of a local Doctor of Oriental Medicine. Although I knew nothing about acupuncture at the time and had no idea what to expect, I was ready to try anything. Three appointments later, my symptoms were 80% gone, and I had my life back. This is where my journey with Chinese medicine began, and it inspired me to purse a path of natural healing and medicine. I am passionate about what I do, because I know first hand how transformative Chinese Medicine can be to a person in need of balancing and healing.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the application of extremely thin needles in strategic points on the body called acupuncture points. Stimulating these points promotes natural healing by setting off a chain reaction of biochemical reactions, which ultimately boosts your immune system, decreases pain, and improves overall health.

Chinese Herbology
Chinese Herbology is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to achieve a better quality of health. Herbs are used for a wide variety of ailments such as insomnia, PMS, high blood pressure and IBS. Formulas are customized to each patient to facilitate healing and balance within the body. Herbs are sourced from the highest quality manufacturers meeting all GMP requirements, and are free of contaminants. 30 minute herbal consults available as an individual treatment.
Cupping
Cupping is a form of deep tissue therapy and is often times used to treat muscle aches and pains, as well as respiratory issues, colds, and flu. It is a popular treatment among athletes, and cupping marks have been spotted on Olympic swimmers and gymnasts alike. Heated glass cups are applied to the body to create suction which increases circulation of blood and lymph. Cupping can be added to your acupuncture treatment, or available as an individual treatment when appropriate.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a form of fire heat treatment that stimulates specific acupuncture points of the body. The term is derived from the Japanese “mogusa” meaning herb (mugwort) and the Latin “bustion” meaning burning.
​
Moxibustion is an adjunct therapy which is often used with acupuncture. The gentle warming effect of mugwort is highly effective in treating pain, as well as other conditions such as menstrual cramps, colds, and flu.
