Wecome Catherine Strahan

I am happy to welcome Catherine Strahan to Neighborhood Acupuncture. Catherine will be 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. This will ensure that on busy days, patients who arrive on time will be able to quickly get into their recliner and start to unwind and relax. 

Catherine's ultimate goal will be to join Neighborhood Acupuncture as a part-time Licensed Acupuncturist. 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.
