I began my career in Chinese Medicine in 1990 as a Massage and Shiatsu Therapist. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master's Degree from Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in 2002. I studied and worked at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangzhou, China in 2001. I taught Traditional Chinese Medicine at Blue Sky Massage School in Madison from 2001 - 2005 and have taught many acupressure workshops. I was on staff at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1995 - 2001 where I worked with teams and individual athletes.

Acupuncture works by activating the body's own healing powers, so it can be beneficial for many health conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented many symptoms, diseases, and conditions that have been shown in controlled clinical trials to be effectively treated with acupuncture. Below are some common conditions I can treat, but please feel free to call or email me about your specific health condition.
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect. While many cultures have herbal medicine traditions, the sophistication of Chinese herbal medicine is unsurpassed. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history reaching back several thousand years, and the resulting system is now used to treat everything from the common cold to symptoms associated with cancer.
Many first-time patients are concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like hypodermic injections at the doctor's office, but they won't. The side effects of acupuncture are minimal. Some may experience bruising or feel light headed after treatment which can be relieved by eating or rest. The World Health Organization recognizes Acupuncture for 50 conditions, including the common cold, stress reduction, addiction withdrawal, post-surgical recovery, and decreased immunity.The acupuncture intake process will involve questions about your current state of health, past illnesses, and family history.

This place is the absolute best acupuncturist in Madison. Cathy's knowledge and educational background make for a truly exceptional experience. I can't say enough about how much she has helped me with my joint issues. If I could go every day I would! Highly, highly recommended

Our whole family finds that Cathy can make an amazing difference on an amazing range of issues. Her background as a physical therapist has come into play twice when I've gone.

Cathy is absolutely incredible! I went to her for my first ever appointment. I remember feeling unsure about trying acupuncture- and I left feeling absolutely amazing. She even made my cold go away. I would recommend her to anyone!
