Kate Carter, a National Board Certified (NCCAOM) Licensed Acupuncturist, has been in practice for over 12 years. She is an associate faculty member of the Tai-Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts in Laurel, MD, from which she graduated. As part of her program, she studied at the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Royal Leamington Spa, UK, with the late Dr. J.R. Worsley, world-renowned for his Classical Five Element System.

Kate has been in acupuncture treatment herself for over 30 years and credits it with her excellent health and ability to ride life’s roller coaster of emotions and challenges. Her two daughters are also recipients of acupuncture treatment.

Of her work, Kate says, “…acupuncture supports people through many circumstances of body, mind and spirit. To be in partnership with someone in their healing process, assisting them to access their own innate healing power, is truly a privilege and an honor.”

Kate invites you to visit her website for more information at www.acupuncturewithkate.com.
