Katy discovered her passion for healing while living and working for three years in a Quaker community near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1998 she began a career in massage therapy and Reiki. Over the next few years, she received acupuncture treatments to address her own ailments and emotions; it changed her life.
Fascinated with the healing power of acupuncture, Katy decided to study the ancient art. So she moved to Honolulu, Hawaii to study at Tai Hsuan Institute. Two years later, she transferred to Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz, California.
