Ever since I was young, I have always heard amazing stories about acupuncture and oriental medicine, but learning about it was more of a passing-down from an old master to a student. Thus, it remained mystical for a while. I then grew up taking Nursing classes and graduated with a bachelor in Psychology from the University of Washington. Another change in career led me to being a nursing assistant for a couple of years. When I was contemplating whether I should apply to medical school, I realized there was something missing: my approach to helping people did not feel holistic enough.
Being a fitness and nutrition enthusiast was not enough, as I was also having health problems of my own, especially with sleep, digestive system and food allergies. I thought I would have to live the rest of my life finding the perfect supplements, avoiding everything, and be dependent on medications. I then received acupuncture treatments, herb, and food therapy guidance, and most of my symptoms were gone within a month. Amazed and intrigued, I decided to switch career and study acupuncture and oriental medicine at the American College of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), and I never looked back since. I felt I have found the perfectly natural, and safe solution to help more people: by using their own bodies' healing potential. We all have our own natural pain-killers, anti-depressants, anti-inflammatory substances, homeostasis-regulating hormones...we just need to access them, and acupuncture can help us do that.
Besides acupuncture, I am also an artist throughout my life. It has helped me to embrace acupuncture as a special form of art, which can compliment traditional techniques. Thank you for stopping by

Hello and welcome! I'm Natalie King, an acupuncturist and herbalist with a passion for helping people reach their health and wellness goals. My discovery of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine came from my own healing journey. I believe in the holistic connection between mind, body, and spirit, and that provided with the right tools, our bodies have an innate ability to heal.
I was fortunate enough to get my education and hands-on training from some of the top Chinese medical doctors in the country, providing me with a strong foundation in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other TCM therapies. I believe in the art and science of medicine and have learned to take an integrative approach, combining the ancient wisdom of TCM with modern evidence-based practices.
I believe in the uniqueness of every case and, therefore, personalize each treatment to the individual. My goal is to provide a safe space for everyone to feel seen and heard, whether you're coming in for physical pain, digestive issues, sexual health, stress management, you name it, I am here to help support you on your healing journey.
When I'm not at the clinic, I'm playing house with my partner, our two daughters, and our crazy dog. I love reading, painting, cooking, and playing outside, especially in water.
I am committed to continuously learning and growing my practice so that I can offer the best possible care to my patients. I feel very blessed to have found a career that I am so passionate about, and I look forward to meeting you!
