Gentle, compassionate care from a Licensed Acupuncturist with over 20 years of experience

You're in Good Hands

I am Kate Quinn Stewart, licensed and nationally certified acupuncturist, and I offer personalized, gentle acupuncture care in Washington, DC. My office is conveniently located near the Dupont Circle Metro station in Northwest DC, on the Red Line. I have been in the healing arts field since 1999 and have spent thousands of hours helping people like you to resolve their health problems. Here’s what my patients have to say about my treatments.

Your Treatment

When you come to see me for acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbal medicine, or for a virtual wellness session, we’ll have a thorough conversation about your health history and your goals for improving your health. We’ll explore the origins of your symptoms and what they are trying to teach you about how to care for yourself. I’ll explain to you how Chinese medicine theory understands and addresses your health issues in a way that is practical and relevant to you. You’ll receive treatment and helpful suggestions for self-care that are designed to meet your unique needs.

Core Principles

These are the key beliefs behind my philosophy of practice:

Every person’s life has a true purpose. Discovering your true purpose, living in alignment with it, and expressing your unique gifts and talents are fundamental to lasting health and vitality. I am committed to helping you find and live your purpose.

The health of the body, mind, and spirit are inextricably linked and truly holistic treatment must address all three levels.

You are the expert on your own body and your own experience. When we combine your expertise with my knowledge of the healing arts, we can create powerful results.

Acupuncture stimulates your body’s amazing capacity for self-healing. I do not heal you. My treatments remind your body how to repair, regulate, and heal itself.

How are acupuncturists educated?

Today, acupuncturists undertake three to four years of extensive and comprehensive graduate training at nationally certified schools. All acupuncturists must pass a national exam and meet strict guidelines to practice in every state.

How safe is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is an all-natural, drug-free therapy, yielding no side effects just feelings of relaxation and well-being. There is little danger of infection from acupuncture needles because they are sterile, used once, and then discarded.
