Mission & Vision
Kristi’s background in massage therapy and anatomy gives her great skills to treat for faster pain relief in addition to using acupuncture needles.
Kristi can help with a multitude of symptoms, including pain, headaches, migraines, fibromyalgia, infertility, menopausal symptoms, neuropathy, assisting with weight loss, easing aging process, anxiety, depression, PTSD, assisting healing before and after surgery, and mitigating nauseas and other effects of chemotherapy. She can also work with Parkinson’s patients to help manage the symptoms.
Starting out in massage therapy gave Kristi more compassion for her clients. She doesn’t work on you, she works with you. She wants to ensure that all of her clients get the best care possible. Kristi aims to help people have happier lives by not having pain or anxiety.

Meet Kristi Harter
Her Inspiration
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.
Her Education
Kristi attended a local Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture school for five years before taking her three board exams and becoming a licensed acupuncturist. Harter Acupuncture began in a small office on Hayden and Shea in Scottsdale in 2015, and has since moved to a larger office, treating patients in the Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Mesa areas.
