Katy Barnhill is the owner of Acupuncture to the People, PLLC and is a NCCAOM national board-certified acupuncturist, licensed in the both New York and Massachusetts.
In her 20+ years of healthcare experience, she has treated thousands of patients and learned from each of them how a prevention-based practice, the continuation of care, and trust can improve clinical outcomes for her patients.
Katy's credentials include a Doctorate of Acupuncture with a focus on integrative medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science. Prior to her Doctorate, Katy has received extensive training in the health sciences at Northeastern University and at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, completing her studies with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. Her education in Boston, a prominent center for healthcare and research, provided her the opportunity to partner with premier medical institutions and community health centers to improve the health and well-being of people from all backgrounds.
In early 2025, after nearly two decades in Manhattan, Katy returned to Boston and has since joined the Integrative Therapies team at Massachusetts General Hospital. She now provides supportive acupuncture care to patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, helping to ease the side effects of their treatments.
Acupuncture to the People continues to actively provide telehealth services, offering remote consultations and expert guidance to patients. While virtual care cannot replace the physical act of acupuncture needle insertion, it serves as a valuable platform for delivering personalized recommendations on acupressure, herbal medicine, supplements, lifestyle modifications, and other key elements of East Asian Medicine.
For those seeking in-person acupuncture, Acupuncture to the People has partnered with Soleil Acupuncture through a joint venture, ensuring continuity of care and access to high-quality hands-on treatment.
