Kate has a holistic treatment philosophy. She incorporates proven treatment methods (based on the latest research published in well respected health and medical journals), personal experience, and the specific needs of each patient.
When Kate was in her early twenties, she suffered from severe allergies, constant migraines and was diagnosed with PCOS. Her PCOS was so severe that doctors assumed she would never get pregnant. Since traditional medicine was not helping, Kate decided to look for alternative treatments. She did research, read books, attended seminars, and took course work on all aspects of health, nutrition, and herbal medicine. With dietary changes, nutritional and herbal aids, and acupuncture treatments, Kate has been able to overcome her ailments and got pregnant after the age of 35.

If I could give Kate 10 stars, I would. Kate has been treating me for severe and chronic neurological facial pain since 2010. Acupuncture has completely changed my life, allowing me to significantly reduce my medication to almost none. I now see Kate to maintain my wellness. Kate stays current and her approach is to look at whole body wellness, not just treat a symptom.
I love her mind/body approach, her ability to listen and willingness to learn. She invests in her clients and truly gets to know us and what we need. It's thanks to Kate's curiosity and persistence that we finally uncovered an underlying issue of lyme disease that has gone undetected for years. If you're afraid of needles (I was too) or unsure of acupuncture give it a chance. Seeing Kate has for certain changed (dare I say saved) my life.
I've lost 45 pounds, changed the way I care for my body, how I view nutrition and its role in healing my body and have less pain than I have in years. She gave me the priceless gift of hope.

What do you say to someone who gave you your life back? A little over 2 years ago, I was suffering from severe and chronic facial neuralgia pain. Having the illness since 2001, I had tried many different types of modern medicine to mitigate my pain. The medicines were so strong and side effects so incapacitating, I could barely function. The pain was taking over every aspect of my life- my job, my relationships, my wellness, my faith.
I was in a state of despair. That’s when I decided to give alternative medicine a try. Fast forward to today and thanks to my ongoing acupuncture treatments, I am virtually pain free! I used to take prescription medication every single day and even then was not functioning well. Now I might take one dose a month! Acupuncture has reduced the intensity of my daily pain and the frequency of my pain episodes significantly.
It has been a blessing beyond words! Since starting my acupuncture treatments I have lost weight and gained wellness. I am more relaxed and sleep better than I ever have. I feel energized and ready to tackle the world! Thanks to Kate, I am able to live my best life, even with a chronic illness.
Kate is a professional practitioner with a huge heart and passion for what she does.
Her knowledge is current, relevant and she shares it with her patients in ways they can understand and put into practice. My family and I will be forever grateful that I found Acupuncture for Health!

My triathlon season was a success, in a big part because of my visits to Kate. The biggest help came the day before my final race of the season. My calf muscle seized in a cramp that left me unable to walk. I called Kate and she fit me into her schedule that same day. I came in 6th of 253 in my age group (it was the swim that was slow the legs worked great for bike and run!) for a personal record time in an Olympic distance triathlon. Kate's expertise and sound advice have been appreciated by many people whom I have referred, including my husband, my mom and my mother-in-law. And Kate is always on time.
