Karin Holt is a nurse, an acupuncturist, and an advocate for comprehensive integrative medicine.

Karin studied women’s and gender studies at Macalester College before training in nursing at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. During her clinical work with oncology and cardiac surgery patients at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, she developed an interest in mitigating physical and mental symptoms that impacted the quality of life for people engaging intensive medical therapies.

Karin found acupuncture so beneficial to her own health, coping with long hours and fatigue from hospital nursing, she trained in Five Element Acupuncture and the School of Philosophy and Healing in Action (SOPHIA) at the Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) when it was called Tai Sophia.

Karin offers treatment and consultation in the tradition of Chinese medicine to help patients mitigate physical and emotional challenges, while cultivating resilience and capacity to live life to its fullest.
