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 K.

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 ROCKS! - Molly H.

I've been regularly working with Katia for about 5 years and highly regard her professionalism and ability to hold space for others in their healing process. She has many resources, ranging from Chinese Herbs to book recommendations, and really works with the individual to find a comfortable solution for each person. Katia has a vibrant and grounded spirit, and is a strong pillar on my healing team. -Molly H.

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 M.

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 F.

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 T.

I've been seeing Katia for about 1 1/2 years for various ailments, anxiety, stomach issues, infertility and 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!! Katia is a wonderful practitioner, calming, gentle and really listens to you to make the most of each appointment.  I highly recommend a visit!! - Karen G.

Katia is the best!  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.  I am deeply grateful for Katia and her work. -Tatchyana H.

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 Jade River 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. - Cecelia F.

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. I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with her. I understand people might have a “fear of needles” but these are the tiniest whisper of a needle you’ve ever seen and nothing to be afraid of. - Lindsay S

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. - T. L.

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 O.

Katia is amazing!! 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 L.

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 C

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 S.

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 K.

She 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’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 P.

Katia was a wizard life-saver with a magic touch. I don't know HOW she did it, but 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. - Amy P

“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 & the only one I plan to see! Highly recommend”

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.
