Katherine Armer has been practicing acupuncture since 2008 with a focus on treating all ages: children, teens and adults. Her lifelong interest, and background, in working with children informs her gentle and non-invasive approach with patients. She tailors treatments to accommodate varying ages and comfort levels, incorporating needle free techniques such acupressure, laser point activation and cupping.
Katherine is passionate about nutrition and food, and loves finding creative ways to work with special dietary needs and establish healthy eating habits for the whole family. As a mother of a young child, kid-friendly cuisine and food sensitivity problem solving has become a specialty!
Katherine holds a Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from ACTCM in San Francisco, CA. Additionally, she completed a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Pre-Medical Studies from Mills College in Oakland, CA, which provided a basis for a deeper understanding of western biomedicine and serves her desire to forge an integrated path as a medical practitioner. After finishing her licensing certification, she traveled to Hangzhou, China, where she attended Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, completing special studies in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. Her training has encompassed herbal therapy, cosmetic and facial acupuncture, and essential oil therapy. Katherine continues to be amazed by the simple and elegant healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
She lives with her husband and son in west Sonoma County where she enjoys playing with rocks, gardening and taking in as much live music as life allows.
