Katia is a Registered and Board-Certified Acupuncturist in Vancouver. She graduated from Pacific Coast University – College of Holistic Medicine with a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. As a practitioner, she is known for her kind-hearted nature, holistic approach to diagnosis and particularly for her truly individualized care.
Born in Kiev, formerly part of USSR, Katia spent her early childhood speaking Russian. Then most of her elementary school years were spent in Beirut, Lebanon, where she naturally learned Arabic. Today, Katia’s travels are made easier with her knowledge of English, Russian and Arabic languages.
Inspired by her grandmother, Katia is deeply passionate about using natural medicine to help her patients in their path to well-being. She has found that musculoskeletal injuries, digestive disorders, migraine headaches, respiratory conditions, stress, anxiety, pain and many other body and mind imbalances respond exceptionally well to natural techniques practiced in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Her practice combines advanced techniques in:
- Acupuncture
- Cupping
- Tui Na Massage Therapy
- Dietary Guidance
- Patient Counseling to address unique health concerns comprehensively
When not at work, Katia spends time traveling, hiking and doing other outdoor activities.
