Cathy has been a part of The Teal Center since 2004 and she is thrilled to welcome acupuncture patients beginning in Fall 2023. Cathy began her study of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) after experiencing its positive effects for herself. Her personal experience sparked an innate desire to understand TCM and its remarkable ability to support health and vitality.
Cathy received her Master of Acupuncture degree from Virginia University of Integrative Medicine. Her rigorous training program prepared her for practice in a number of different Chinese and Korean styles of acupuncture, electrostimulation, and needle-free techniques.
In her 20 years of experience as a bodyworker, Cathy has enjoyed working with a wide population. She compassionately, clearly, and simply guides her clients to a better understanding of their bodies and their health. She listens intently, cares deeply, and brings a wealth of compassionate insight to her patient relationships. Cathy has found that acupuncture is a natural extension of her bodywork practice, which has been based on neuromuscular therapy and dynamic movement. TCM resonates deeply with her practice and philosophy, recognizing that body, mind, and spirit are inextricably linked.
Please note that Cathy is only accepting new acupuncture patients at this time. She is no longer accepting new massage clients.
