About Our PractitIoners

Kathleen Ellerie

Kathleen (Ellerie) Ketola, L.Ac., AP, Dipl.O.M., graduated with Bachelor's degrees in Nutritional Sciences and Biology from the University of Florida and a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor of Health Science from the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine. She is a Licensed Acupuncturist in the states of Florida and Texas, an NCCAOM-certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, and a NADA-trained Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist. After years working in private practice, she was inspired to start Beachside Community Acupuncture PLLC to provide affordable acupuncture to those who might not otherwise be able to experience the ancient medicine's healing effects. She is especially passionate about diet therapy, essential oils, and other aspects of holistic wellness and teaches online courses, writes books and articles, and speaks at events to educate the public about natural health.

In the media

At Beachside Community Acupuncture we strive to educate the public on the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine to help others better understand the body's healing potential. We hope that our interviews eliminate the "fear of the unknown" so that more people feel empowered to try acupuncture, whether it be at our clinic or with their local Licensed Acupuncturist.
