Kristi Harter was inspired after she quit her sales job and traveled in India for two months in 1998. She wanted to help people. Upon her return, she attended school for massage therapy, and expanded her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine when she moved to Arizona. Kristi attended a local Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture school for five years before taking her three board exams and becoming a licensed acupuncturist.

Acupuncture points tend to be located near nerves. When these points are stimulated, they send a message to the brain and spinal cord, causing the brain to release natural chemicals. These chemicals can alter or eliminate the message of pain being delivered to the brain. This can help people feel better physically and emotionally, thus improving their quality of life.
At Harter Acupuncture, we are caring, compassionate, and competent. Kristi takes the time to get to know her clients, and craft a treatment plan that best works for them. We don't just leave you after one session. If you choose to keep joining us, we will accompany you on the way to becoming your best self!

So I had the great good fortune to be at the same location as Kristie Harter on July 9th 2021. She had her traveling kit with her. I've had a frozen shoulder for five weeks. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! My shoulder is MOVING! after just some cupping and needles I can lift my arm! I thought I was going to have to have surgery , seriously WOW! Kristie is the best. I believe I've had a miracle! My shoulder was so sore I couldn't take the pressure of touch. I've never lasted a full treatment with any one before, I'm just too sensitive, too hurt. Kristie has the gentlest touch I didn't notice the needles going

Kristi's and her services well exceeded my expectations and alleviated the early signs of carpal tunnel that I was experiencing. I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon her during such a great time of need (mentally and physically) in my life. I definitely consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to benefit from her expertise on a regular basis. I highly recommend entrusting her and her blessed, healing hands to provide a better quality of life to you and yours.

Kristi is fantastic! I have been to different Acupuncturists and Kristi’s treatments definitely stand out as being powerful. She listens carefully and really cares about her patients. I was able to get restorative sleep for the first time in a long time. She is a blessing to those that are in need of care. Certainly recommend 💜💜

Anyone with Hashimoto's knows how debilitating a flare up can be- muscle & joint pain, severe lethargy, choking frequently. My first visit- I fell asleep on the table, the most relaxed & peaceful I had been in a LONG time, I didn't want my session to end. After 4 visits twice a week, my limp was gone! I had energy into the evenings, my perspective had brightened! Miraculous! I am making Kristi a staple in my self care. Kristi is caring, dedicated & gets results! Seriously, go see Kristi!

I went to Kristi for the first time today, after injuring my back a week ago. Previous to seeing her, I was in the ER twice and went to see a chiropractor. She took loving time to sit with me and get to know what my body, mind and spirit was working with. She tapped into my energies and offered wonderful insight as to what she could offer me and what would make sense to for immediate pain relief and begin healing at this first visit. She was gentle with her approach, and obviously very well knowledge. I sunk into her care and felt immediate comfort and release of pain. I was relaxed and she explained

I can’t recommend Harter Accupuncture enough. I tried allergy shots for over 5 years without receiving relief, but after a few Accupunture treatments from Harter Accupunture I have had amazing results! In addition, I had a bunion that was really bothering me and I thought I might have to have surgery but I have been getting Accupunture treatment and my bunion has shrank at least 50% and isn’t painful anymore! Try a treatment!!!

Kristi is AWESOME! I've been going to her for years. Her true passion (and talent) is understanding the mechanics of the human body. She welcomes challenging and unique issues and loves puzzling through to find their solutions. She enjoys continuing her education, so always has new thoughts, ideas, and related experiences from which to draw for her practice. I wholeheartedly recommend trusting your body's care to her capable and caring hands. She's a miracle worker in so many ways! :-)

Miraculous!
I suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which causes highly irregular menses. Kristi has found a treatment that works really well for me. This past weekend, I showed up for my regular appointment and let her know that my cycle was 19 days late. Kristi used the treatment that has been successful in the past, and I was in menses by the time I got home from the appointment! I can't explain how it works, but it does. This therapy is miraculous!

BEST ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS EVER! I've had treatments from a few other practitioners; Kristi Harter is by far the best I've experienced.
She is extremely thorough, not just talking to you for a minute and putting a few needles in. She has a lengthy conversation about not only your immediate pain but other health issues that may be affecting it as well. Then she takes time to find the correct insertion points FOR YOU, not just a general location. Plus she has a stimulation machine that increases the success and length of relief of the treatment.
Kristi is genuinely concerned
