Katika's approach to care

Painless Acupuncture has been a cornerstone of her treatments for over 20 years. Communication with her clients is also important and helps to demystify the Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine experience, so they get the maximum benefit from a session. Katika enjoys treating patients who haven’t had Acupuncture before or are anxious about the process, because “To see the pleased look on clients faces about how painless it is, along with the improvement and relief the client experiences, makes a real difference to them.”

More about Katika's Experience

After UTS, Katika worked with a mentor for 5 years during her studies and early stages of developing her practice. Her experience was broadened further in 2002 when she completed a 6 week internship in China and for that, earned a Certificate of TCM from Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital in Zhejiang Province.
