Acupuncture, Holistic Health, & Mom-Life Productivity... oh my!
Meet Dr. Kara Flint, DACM, NBC-HWC
Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Currently practicing in Pittsburgh, PA.
National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach
There’s a moment — maybe you've felt it — when everything feels just a little too much.
The pain. The stress. The exhaustion.
The nagging sense that you’ve been holding it all together for everyone else, but somewhere along the way, you lost your center. I know that place — because I’ve been there, too.
Hi, I’m Dr. Kara Flint, DACM, L.Ac., NBC-HWC — a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and full-time mom who’s made it her mission to help others rediscover their calm, their clarity, and their wholeness.
With over a decade of experience in acupuncture and holistic health, my work is rooted in seeing the body as a complete, intelligent system — not just a collection of symptoms.
I specialize in pain and tension relief, reproductive wellness, digestive and hormonal harmony, anxiety and stress, and guiding others through life’s most challenging transitions — from preconception and postpartum to physical struggles and modern-day bombardment (and beyond) .
I began my journey with a Psychology degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, then earned my Master’s and Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College in San Diego. My career has taken me from cruise ships to private practice, from coastlines to motherhood, and finally here — to Pittsburgh, PA, where I now practice at Wind in the Willows Acupuncture in the West End.
​
What sets me apart isn’t just my credentials — it’s the lived experience and genuine compassion I bring into every treatment room. I know what it feels like to chase calm in the middle of chaos. To desire healing that goes beyond a quick fix.
To crave space to breathe, restore, and realign.
I'll hold that space for you every single treatment, keeping you informed, involved, and entertained.
Whether you’re seeking support with fertility, managing chronic pain, unraveling years of stress, or simply hoping to feel like yourself again
— I’ve got you.
This isn’t just about acupuncture. It’s about coming home to your body, your rhythm, your well-being.
Let’s start there.
