“The law of yin and yang is the natural order of the universe, the foundation of all things, the mother of all change, the root of life and death.”
- Yellow Emperor, 27th century BCE

WHAT TO EXPECT
Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of extremely thin, single use, sterile needles into the skin. Some people do not feel the needles at all, while others feel momentary pressure that dissipates once the needle is inserted.
After the needles are in place, you will rest comfortably for approximately 30 minutes, allowing your nervous system to experience deep rest. Most people describe feeling relaxed and some even drift into a brief sleep during their sessions. Treatment sessions often incorporate aromatherapy, infrared light therapy, cupping, and moxibustion tailored to your constitutional needs that day.
At the end of the session, the needles are removed quickly and painlessly.
"Her touch with the needles is effective yet gentle. She is thoughtful, thorough, creative, and knowledgeable, and she treats her patients with warmth and respect. And best of all, among her healing skills is a wicked sense of humor. I trust that each time I leave Katya’s office, I will feel rejuvenated, hopeful, and I will probably be smiling.”
