Getting better is not simply about taking some magic pill that tastes good and doesn't ask you to change your life. Often times, though, we are asked to heal and move in a direction that is too challenging for us. We feel we do not have enough support, that nothing works well, and that it isn't worth the effort anyway.
We end up blocking our natural healing abilities and the healing force within us. There are many twists and turns, ups and downs in anyone's life and so it goes with healing. I am here to help you move in a healing direction with your body, mind, and spirit. You are a soul experiencing life through your body and it is important that you have a good connection with it!

Licensed Acupuncturist I am currently licensed to practice acupuncture in the state of Iowa by the Iowa Board of Medicine and in Wisconsin by the State of Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing. When I lived in Texas, I was licensed by the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners. I love helping people of all ages (even newborns!) to reverse a wide range of health issues.
Functional medicine addresses chronic health conditions by utilizing a variety of holistic and natural interventions. Functional medicine gets to the real root of disease rather than masking symptoms with medications while underlying disease states progress. Addressing the underlying causes of disease is a big factor that makes Functional Medicine different than modern conventional medicine.
The practice of acupuncture has been around for about 3,000 years and is now accessible around the world. Over those years, acupuncture techniques and theory have been refined and continue to have an outstanding history of safety and efficacy. Acupuncture has been increasingly popular in the United States since the 1970's and the list of conditions and diseases that are treated with acupuncture is extensive.
Herbs are nature's medicine! If you look around your yard, you probably have dandelion roots and other natural medicines. But how do you know which herbs you need and how to prepare them safely? Those are important questions. Chinese herbology uses plants, roots, minerals and berries as a part of healing the body and prevention of disease.
This consultation usually lasts between an hour and an hour and a half so that I can really get to know you and your health (an approach known as Functional Medicine). This time generally includes an acupuncture treatment and an herbal consultation as well as dietary and lifestyle recommendations. If you have a severe condition and/or are traveling from a long distance, you have the option to choose a longer (up to 3 hours) first session.

Katie has been a huge catalyst for health, growth, and change in my life. She was and is the only practitioner that found a way to help me understand why I felt so bad and could not function. Katie has worked with other practitioners to help me through allergies, digestive issues, surgeries, cancer and Lyme disease. Besides her expertise in acupuncture, Katie is an amazing listener and teacher. She treated me as a whole person, and showed me how to improve my health and make the most of the treatments. The Peaceful Healing Journey Office is comforting, clean and fragrance free. The staff is knowledgeable

Working with Katie Blair saved my life after years of traditional treatments failed. I first saw Katie as a teenager and now have been receiving treatments from her for over ten years. I consider myself spoiled to have worked with Katie for so long. Katie's kind and gentle approach put me at ease during my first visit so many years ago. Katie is the most intelligent and the most professional healer I have worked with. I recommend Peaceful Healing Journey to all of my friends and family, most of whom now see her themselves and rave about the treatments they have received.

I’ve received treatment at Peaceful Healing Journey for quite a few years, due to a chronic illness that wasn’t being successfully treated anywhere else. I had seen several holistic practitioners who contributed to me getting much worse. I was literally near death by the time I found Katie Blair and her staff (who are amazing by the way).
Through her customized treatment, my life was spared, and I am now able to work part-time, and have quality of life.
Katie has gone above and beyond in her treatment of me, and I am forever grateful! It’s hard to put into words what a godsend her knowledge

I am a patient of Katie's all the way from New Zealand! I think that speaks volumes about her expertise, compassion and the incredible difference she has made to my life and well being. I was very unwell when I first saw Katie several years ago but I soon realised she was THE practitioner to turn my health around and encourage me on this journey. I have travelled many times to Dubuque and the progress on these trips has always pushed me forward in healing from my chronic illness. The office staff are fantastic, the safe non toxic clinic a godsend and the obvious care Katie has for me as I've worked

Katie Blair knows more about the body and healing than anyone I know. When I started going to Katie, more than 9 years ago, I was so sick that I could hardly get out of bed. I had just had my first baby and my disease, Interstitial Cystitis, had flared up really badly. I was in constant pain, and it was very difficult for me to do anything besides lay in bed. My husband and mom took care of my baby much of the time. I was trying everything I could to get better: pills, bladder installations, and even other acupuncturists. I felt hopeless and like a burden to my family. Then, I heard from various

I first went to Katie nearly six years ago. I was so sick and had been to dozens of doctors and specialists in Chicago who were unable to help. Katie helped to diagnose me with Lyme disease and get me on the path to healing. Thanks to her, I have my energy back and I'm excited about life again. My whole family goes to her now. She is a brilliant healer and Dubuque is so lucky to have her. I don't know where I would be without her help.

A colleague of mine recommended Katie to me many years ago. At the time I met Katie, I had been treating for six months without success for symptoms similar to a sinus infection. With Katie’s help, we quickly realized the true cause of my symptoms was a peanut allergy causing asthma. The revelation was a HUGE relief and an easy fix. Katie has become my first line of defense for all health concerns including a kidney stone, colds, stress and aging. Katie is thoughtful, knowledgeable and compassionate. Her clinic is organized, well managed and peaceful. Julie and Mindy are friendly, organized and
