Acupuncture in Ashton, MD

Welcome

Welcome to Kate Walshe Acupuncture where your flourishing is my goal.  Health improves when we respect our own rhythms and needs through flexibility, variety, and moderation.  Acupuncture, herbs, diet, physical exercise, mental discipline, and modification of lifestyle habits are tools that can be used to reestablish the rhythm and flow required for health.  There is a saying in acupuncture, “Same disease different treatment, same treatment different disease.”  Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide variety of symptoms, but exactly how that is done depends on the individual with the symptom.  For simple problems one or two treatments may be sufficient. Chronic conditions may require 10-12 treatments or more.  At each appointment I work with you to assess and co-create the best treatment strategies for you specifically. 

My office is located between Olney and Clarksville in Ashton, Maryland, making it convenient to both of these areas as well as Glenelg and Maple Lawn. 

Using acupuncture, guasha, cupping, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching, I help patients find solutions.  Acupuncture is a bridge between the body, mind, and spirit, and can lead to healing on many levels.  If you want to have less pain, more inner peace, or just feel better than you do now, call or text, Kate Walshe Acupuncture.

Within this integrated model, acupuncture has emerged as a powerful complementary therapy, bridging ancient medical wisdom with contemporary sports science.

What Is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a traditional therapy rooted in East Asian medicine that involves the application of heat to specific points on the body using moxa, a dried form of the herb Artemisia argyi (commonly known as mugwort). The goal is simple but powerful: warm the body, stimulate circulation, and support the natural flow of energy, often referred to as qi,

When Your Next Meal is Part of the Treatment Plan

For many chronic health issues, everyday exposures matter most. Food isn’t only fuel. It’s raw material, signaling molecules, and a daily set of “instructions” your body reads repeatedly.

The idea of food as medicine isn’t new. It shows up in traditional healing systems, in public health, and increasingly in modern clinical research. The most useful way to think about
