Hello!

My name is Katie Murphy and I’m the new acupuncturist here at Absolute Wellness Center. I hail from Boston, MA but am settling nicely here in beautiful (and snow-free!) Charleston, SC.

Although my first treatment wasn’t until I was in my early 30s, my introduction into acupuncture was life-changing. At 18, I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease. Dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo, nausea and a deafening ringing in my right ear were a daily part of my life for almost 15 years. Surgical procedures and medications helped by dulling the symptoms, but it wasn’t until acupuncture that all my symptoms subsided, most of which disappeared completely. I knew then and there this was my calling. Soon after, I quit my job and attended the New England School of Acupuncture full-time.

I like to look at the body as a whole, taking into consideration diet, lifestyle and health history. In addition to acupuncture, I integrate other modalities including cupping, massage and moxibustion, depending on the patient’s diagnosis. I’ve treated a number of illnesses and conditions ranging from stress to menstrual issues, neuropathy to chronic pain. What acupuncture can treat is countless. (Take a peek at the Acupuncture page on our website for a short list of conditions I’ve treated.) And acupuncture can help anyone at any age. I’ve treated a little girl as young as 1 week to an elderly man of 97 years!

Whether you need help from a longstanding condition or are simply looking for an overall wellness treatment, acupuncture can be just what your body needs. Feel free to call me to discuss your condition or stop by for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you!

In health,

Katie Murphy
