Meet the Acupuncturist
Dr. Katie Zouvelekis, L.Ac
Dr. Katie is an NCCAOM board certified acupuncturist licensed by the State of New Jersey. She completed four years of formal training in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology at Pacific College of Health and Science in Manhattan, earning a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM), along with a Bachelor of Professional Studies. She then went on to earn her Doctorate in Acupuncture with Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM). Katie also received her certification in Facial Acupuncture Techniques through Pacific College.
Prior to her pursuit of Chinese Medicine, Dr. Katie studied math and worked in the insurance industry as an actuary. When she began feeling like her job and lifestyle were taking a toll on her health, she turned to acupuncture and quickly became fascinated with Chinese Medicine. She has found that a collection of small life adjustments, rather than a complete lifestyle overhaul, have led to drastic improvements in her own health. She takes the same approach with her patients for an effective path to sustainable health.
At home, Dr. Katie enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter. Together, they love early morning walks, living room dance parties, games of all kinds, mind-opening conversation, and a perfectly toasted breakfast burrito.
Testimonials
“Katie has a magic touch! I struggled for months with symptoms my doctors could not treat or explain. After one appointment with Katie, she was able to identify an imbalance that explained all of my symptoms and after just a few treatments, my night sweats, joint pain, and swelling were gone. I also felt calmer and more grounded after the very first treatment. Katie also worked with my doctor while I was undergoing fertility treatments and not only did she make my extreme nausea subside, she helped with my fatigue and mood, and ultimately helped doctors retrieve more, higher quality eggs.
Katie takes a holistic approach to wellness from physical symptoms, mental symptoms, sleep, food choices and more ... and it works! Most importantly, she listens, she doesn't judge, she doesn't rush and she truly cares about her patients. Her ability to make an effective treatment plan and execute it with such care is unmatched. I highly recommend making an appointment with Katie for anything and everything you might be experiencing whether physical, mental or even cosmetic anti-aging acupuncture on the face!”

“I had only ever gotten acupuncture once before and it didn’t leave a big impression. I decided to give it a try again with Katie and I was blown away at how quickly I saw results. I could really feel a difference right away. One major issue I had was pain and tightness in my hips. Katie was super attentive to everything going on with me and asked lots of questions to find the right solution. When I expressed that my hips were my main concern she went right to work on them. I was shocked that after only one session working on them, I felt immediately looser and my pain was almost completely gone. I know some things take time to see results so I wasn’t expecting such a massive difference so quickly and I cannot thank Katie enough for it!! I would suggest her to anyone who’s looking to try acupuncture or even someone who is familiar with it and just looking for someone attentive, kind, professional, and most importantly GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES.”
