Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate energy flow and address chronic pain, stress, and internal imbalances. Sessions include lifestyle recommendations and may incorporate herbal medicine. Our approach combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with Japanese and Tan techniques for personalized care.
Nutritional Consulting
Personalized nutrition plans address food intolerances, digestive health, and chronic conditions. Services include elimination diet support, meal planning, and supplement recommendations. Katie Masferrer specializes in functional nutrition for patients with complex health needs like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses suction to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. Glass or silicone cups target areas of chronic pain or adhesions. This non-invasive treatment complements acupuncture or works as standalone therapy for needle-sensitive patients.
Herbal Consultation
Custom herbal formulas address digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic pain. Consultations review treatment effects and adjust formulas based on individual responses. Remote Skype sessions available for ongoing patient support.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu combines acupressure and stretching to balance energy flow and relieve stress. Treatments focus on meridian pathways while using appropriate pressure to release physical tension. Patients remain fully clothed during sessions for comfort.

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Spent almost a year going to the chiropractor for hip pain, Dr. Kumo practically resolved it in three sessions.

I've been to 6 different massage business in the Walla area. They all do a great job. Kumo is definitely different in offering various styles and methods. I walked in feeling tensed muscles and walked out feeling relaxed and ready to be active. The cupping and hands on massage are awesome. Highly recommended. Sign up using the online portal or even better download the app Genbook, it will save you time.

My first experience with acupuncture... I was excited and a little nervous. This place however was the best experience. I recommend acupuncture to all my friends. For years I've gotten massages and other thing but nothing has gotten me nearly as relaxed. I called my husband after my stand he thought I had gone to the bar instead because of how relaxed I sounds on the phone. The doctor was great and explains everything! I get asked a lot does it hurt? Let me tell you, you can barely feel the needles. If you've never tried it, please check it out! You will love it!

Dr. Roberto is my favorite medical practitioner ever! He's educated and intelligent, but I think he's also a natural healer. His energy puts you at ease, and he really listens to identify root causes and to learn the landscape of the patient he is working with. He's helped me with numerous sports injuries, headaches, stress overload, etc. And as an acupuncturist, I'd say he has pretty deadly aim - he always finds the spot that's causing discomfort - and the more I go to him, the better he gets - and the more I learn about my own chi and energy. It's awesome to have someone uniquely care for you

I highly recommend Kumo Acupuncture. I've had acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping done by Roberto. The treatments have caused a decrease in my chronic pain. The office is a pleasant environment, and feels comfortable.

I had all but given up on finding a doctor who could offer suggestions I hadn't already tried. Most only offered already failed over counter remedies and one in particular came off like a vitamin salesman for Usana. I considered trying a naturopath but research revealed they are highly overpriced and not covered by insurance.
I'm a firm believer that we are responsible for our own health and have done a tremendous amount of research regarding my symptoms. What I've found through scholarly articles (and personal experience) was that natural remedies actually worked better that anything

Kumo acupuncture is my first experience with acupuncture and it has brought a wonderful change and balance in my life. Dr. Roberto Masferrer is a true healer who draws from his experience and wisdom in Chinese medicine. My wife and I have seen a dramatic improvement with her sciatica after her first visit and we have been to many chiropractic practices and none have resolved our symptoms as well as the techniques Dr. Roberto uses to bring balance. For me, acupuncture has returned a balance to where I am now employed and helped to even out moods. Be prepared to leave after a treatment feeling the
