I initially sought acupuncture because I was going through fertility treatments and, through research, found that acupuncture could support my ability to conceive. Kate has treated me through a variety of IVF procedures, and I can honestly say she is an important part of why I have been able to start a family. Even when I took a break from fertility treatments, though, I stayed with Kate as my acupuncturist over a long period of time because she also treats my asthma/allergies, has helped heal broken bones and sprains, and even supports my emotional well-being if that is what I need. I feel overall better and mentally fresh after each session and would highly recommend Kate as an acupuncturist (and have to many friends).
Beyond supporting my physical wellness, what makes Kate special is that she provides her services in a nurturing and educational way. She is always happy to explain why she is focusing on a certain point, what it is called, what it means in Chinese medicine, how that relates to Western medicine, and what else I can do to support my own well-being. I am continually impressed with Kate’s ongoing self-education – it seems like she is constantly taking a variety of classes or reading new research to further her practice and help her clients.
Kate’s tone and style are gentle, caring, and humorous, and I greatly look forward to my sessions with her. I know I’ll benefit from the treatment, and I also feel I can openly and honestly share what has been happening with my body and mind since I last saw her. I always leave our sessions feeling healthier, clearer and more focused. She is a terrific acupuncturist and a real touchstone in my life, which is why I recommend her whenever I think a friend would benefit from her services.
