About us
Tai Ji Flow (at one point known as Super Star Acupuncture) was started for the love of Chinese medicine philosophy. Our clinic has helped people heal illnesses since October 2018, and spreads the wisdom of classical Chinese medicine.
Acupuncturist & Owner Kate Star L.Ac.
A massage therapist first, Kate practiced Swedish, Shiatsu, and Thai massage. This experience developed her expertise in the layers of the body and the power of touch.
Kate trained at 3 different acupuncture programs for her masters: Finger Lakes College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in NY, Emperor's College in Santa Monica, and Dongguk University LA, as well as clinics in Veterans Affairs and the USC Student Health Center. Each one provided her with unique insight, viewing this medicine from different angles, cultures, and depth.
Her post graduate work includes Master Jia Yu's family lineage acupuncture theory a powerful treatment style dating back to 1492 (and earlier) especially beneficial for treatment of pain; Mary Elizabeth Wakefield’s work on Constitutional Facial Acupuncture; experiencing a variety of diets personally to see how each affected the body; European connections with food and ways of eating; and Taoist philosophy.
Her passion is incorporating Chinese medicine philosophy into real life practices, to bring an abundance of healing and joy for all.
A little more about our acupuncturist - she enjoys dance classes, baking, and studying française.
