How she works
Assessment comes first: a full intake, and traditional diagnostic methods including detailed pulse and tongue analysis. Treatment is planned from that rather than from a standard protocol, and reviewed at each visit.
Depending on the assessment, a plan may include acupuncture, customised herbal formulas, cupping therapy, Gua Sha or Tui Na therapeutic massage.
Languages
Sessions can be held in English, Russian or Latvian. The languages of care on file with the College are listed on Katherine's register profile.
