Katelyn is a licensed acupuncturist and herbal medicine practitioner by the Massachusetts board of medicine, and is a board-certified diplomat of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology by the NCCAOM. She earned her masters degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA). While at NESA, she studied both Chinese and Japanese styles of Acupuncture. And completed clinical rotations in several specialties. At the Boston Medical Center internal medicine clinic, she treated patients with hormone imbalances, digestive disorders, insomnia. During her time at NESA, she was also selected to be an intern at an orthopedic clinic at the Worcester VA Clinic. There she honed in her skills releasing tight muscles by targeting innervation zones, and electro-acupuncture. Katelyn has also had the privilege to learn from Dr. Chuang I-Hsing, a renowned neurosurgeon and acupuncturist, who expanded on Dr. Yamamoto’s methods; creating his own system and methodology of scalp Acupuncture. Chuang’s new scalp acupuncture style is found to be effective in relieving musculoskeletal pain, EENT disorders, sleep apnea, post-stroke and whiplash recovery, and numerous other conditions.

Her interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) started at a young age. Much of the medicine is incorporated in daily living. Being raised by Taiwanese parents, she benefited from holistic remedies her whole life. She has spent the last 8 years around acupuncture, starting as a clinical assistant at the Chinese American Center. There she would help fill herbal prescriptions and saw the efficacy of scalp acupuncture for all kinds of conditions. She then had the privilege of having two acupuncturist mentors, who taught her styles they found most effective in their career as TCM practitioners. Specifically Master Tung’s style for fertility and treating pain, and Dr. Pan’s balancing method to balance the body for cases such as chronic fatigue, anxiety/depression, along with other internal ailments.

Her compassion and empathetic nature has led her to specialize in pain management, and mental health. She has dedicated hours of education expanding her toolkit to better the effectiveness of her treatments. She strives to share her knowledge of TCM, in hopes her patients can adopt better habits that benefit their health. Helping patients listen to their bodies, and prevent illness is one of her passions. She strives to teach patients to be intuitive to what their body needs, and knowing what to provide it when it speaks up. We only get one body, it’s important to know how to take care of it.
