Our team: Your partners in health

The team at Acupuncture 4 Health is committed to providing exceptional, patient-centered care to the Black Hills community. We are honored to partner with patients in our Rapid City and Custer clinics.

This partnership involves mutual trust and responsibilities.

For our part, we will listen carefully, answer your questions clearly, respect your time and your privacy, do our best to help you accomplish your goals, and share our knowledge freely within our individual skill sets.

We also strive to live the kind of balanced lives we encourage our patients to live.
 

KAYTE HALSTEAD, L.AC, MSTOM

Kayte suffered with migraines for more than 13 years before she discovered acupuncture. She was fascinated by a medicine that engaged her rational mind, demanded she access her intuition, and provided unlimited lifelong learning.

She is even more passionate about the relevance of “ancient medicine” today than when she first opened Acupuncture 4 Health in 2003.

Kayte’s vision of intentional healthcare bridges personal responsibility with lifestyle management, Oriental medicine and western medical care. She is committed to integrating functional medicine, lifestyle medicine and Oriental medicine into a rich tapestry of support for the 21st century.

Nationally certified and with a master’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine, Kayte is also a founding member of the South Dakota Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Association (SDAOMA). Currently, there are no state standards regulating the practice of acupuncture. Thus, the major purposes of the association are to educate; to promote excellence and integrity within the profession; and to establish Oriental medicine as a distinct field of medicine in the state.
