Melanie Katin received a Master of Traditional Oriental Medicine
(MSTOM) from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine/New York in 2004.
This 4-year program included Chinese and Japanese styles of
acupuncture, Chinese herbology, oriental medicine theory, anatomy &
physiology and pathology, and nutrition. She is nationally certified in
oriental medicine and Chinese herbology by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), and licensed by the state of New York.
Currently, she is a clinical supervisor and on the faculty of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.
She has advanced certification in Multiple Sclerosis care (MSCS) from the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers. She also studied facial rejuvenation style treatment with Mary Elizabeth Wakefield.
In
her past life, Melanie was a professionally trained dancer and fitness
trainer. She was introduced to acupuncture in 1991 after a sudden bout
of laryngitis. She recalls marveling at the efficacy and speed of
recovery after one treatment! Since then, she has been an avid fan of
Chinese medicine, and takes her own advice to heart.
Her
philosophy is that good health comes from a healthy mind, body and
spirit, but sometimes needs encouragement and fine tuning to keep
running well. Chronic illness is the result of many factors over time,
and her goal is to use Chinese medicine as the foundation to help
people feel healthy and vibrant, and to help them learn to stop defining
themselves by their illness.
