Wecome Catherine Strahan

I am happy to welcome Catherine Strahan to Neighborhood Acupuncture. Catherine started at Neighborhood Acupuncture part-time, a day or two per week, getting patient checked-in (collecting payment, setting up appointments if needed), and helping them settle in and get ready for their acupuncture session. 

Catherine's will join Neighborhood Acupuncture as a part-time Acupuncturist Assistant. Catherine is planning to take her California Acupuncture Licensure Exam sometime later this year. Once licensed, Catherine will train extensively in Balance Method Acupuncture before offering Neighborhood Acupuncture patients an acupuncture session. 

UPDATE:

Catherine (or Kat) passed her CALE (California Acupuncture Licensing Exam)!!! We are now waiting for the license application process to be completed. Once that happens Kat will be taking Balance Method Acupuncture training and shadowing Tona closely in clinic a few days a week to master the Balance Method.
