As a child I grew up with medicinal and culinary herbs. When my sister and I had cramps, my mom would brew a tea from Borage and Valerian with dry lemon. My uncle had his own medicinal herb garden and was a medicine man in his own town with expertise in pulse taking. Both my father and grandfather were prescribing herbal medicine for their patients. That is how I inherited my last name, which means healer. “I believe through the use of Acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation & a balanced diet, people can regain the healing power of their body & transform themselves to ideal well being”.

As a doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, I use holistic approach in my practice. Each patient will be treated individually based on her/his needs just like a flower in my garden. In addition to Acupuncture, herbal medicine and dietary guideline will be recommended to enhance your treatment. Each individual will be evaluated as a whole person not as a disease. Root problem of imbalances will be addressed & you will be empowered to take control to change for healthier life and longevity.

Other techniques such as suction cups, moxibustion, scrapping or gua sha, electro acupuncture and acupressure may be applied to enhance your treatment.

Testimonials

  • Rachel S. from Yelp

    I have been going to Hakim acupuncture for almost 2 years and am very happy with my weekly visit.  She is very caring and every week ensures to ask me how I am feeling to make the session relevant to what is going on with my body.  She is very knowledgeable as a doctor of acupuncture as well as in Chinese medicine.  She is able to individualize each prescription of Chinese herbs for the relevant problem, because her knowledge in these herbs is so vast.  I highly recommend Hakim acupuncture to people who are new to treatment or those who are looking for someone supportive and understanding.  In most simplest of words, she is amazing.

  • Yabdar A. from Yelp

    I have been seeing Katayoon for several months now and I am very pleased with her care. She has been very attentive to my needs and really creates a relaxing atmosphere in her clinic. I've been going in to have my digestive issues treated and I've been feeling much better since i've started seeing her. I plan on continuing my weekly visits for a very long time!

  • Mark S. from Yelp

    I and my family have been seeing Katayoon Hakim for many years and she has greatly helped us. I myself have found her gentle, caring approach to acupuncture most beneficial. I still continue to see her on a regular basis. I highly recommend her. It's a wonderful way of being treated by a dedicated and knowledgeable practitioner.

  • Mabel G. from Yelp

    Over the years I have been seen by a number of acupuncturists, and I must say that Dr Hakim has given me the best results. She is thoughtful, thorough, and gentle. Her extensive background with herbs is a nice bonus. She does whatever is needed, be it massage, cupping, scraping.......I always come out of a session feeling completely relaxed and energized all at the same time.
