“A few months before the birth of my daughter I met Kate. My pregnancy had gone well so far but I was feeling like I just needed some support for the upcoming birth. Kate was recommended to me and I saw her for acupuncture three times. After being told by my midwife that my baby was breech, Kate did moxibustion (burning Chinese herbs) on a point on my foot and recommended some positional exercises and my baby turned into a good position. I felt very supported in our sessions and the day before my daughter was born I saw her to get the energy flowing to prepare for birth. After this treatment I felt a little different and went to bed that night for a restful sleep. The next morning I awoke to being in labour and 3 hours later my daughter was born without complications at home. I truly believe that Kate helped with this smooth transition for my child to come into the world”.

“How refreshing my acupuncture treatment was with you Kate. You are a true professional, very focused and clearly outstanding at what you do.My treatments with you helped my athletic ailments substantially, and despite being a little skeptical at the outset with respect to what might be achieved, I am now a total convert. Thanks Kate for all your help”.

“I saw Kate for treatment regarding fertility for approximately one year. I originally sought treatment having read that acupuncture was an effective treatment for infertility. However, as I learned more about Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment and treatment I grew to understand that this practice is so much more than acupuncture. Kate’s caring and nurturing presence combined with her knowledge treated my issues as a whole not just a symptom. My husband and my three year journey trying to conceive was stressful and anxiety producing and Kate’s treatment of this (although we weren’t aware we needed it) was exactly what we needed! We now have a beautiful 2 year-old daughter and hold Kate close to our hearts”.

“When I met Kate, I was just in the beginning process of healing, what was a very devastating sacrum and hip injury. I was in an immense amount of pain daily and could barely walk some days. I had a weekly appt and we began a healing journey for which I will forever be grateful. Her expertise in acupuncture helped me be pain free and regain muscle and nerve strength. My hip and abdomen muscle were fused together with scar tissue, and at one point affected my bladder. I was a mess and acupuncture was my saving grace. Now, I am pain free and a quality of life has returned to me and it all started with one needle and one amazing doc of Chinese medicine…..”

“Kate has been my Chinese Medicine Doctor for years and is the first person I go to see when something is wrong. She has helped me with many different issues from neck pain to peri-menopausal stress and I appreciate so much her combination of professionalism and intimacy. I always feel that she is giving my situation so much thought and she offers wonderful ideas for self care for me to follow up on at home. Her acupuncture is very gentle and this allowed me to overcome my fear of needles. She is a dedicated and authentic person and I recommend her highly.”

“I have seen Kate for a number of my sports related injuries over the years from climbing, skiing and bush work. Her treatments are holistic and bring an awareness of both the mental and physical experiences of the body. She understands the demands of an active lifestyle and draws from her astute experience to treat the mind and body. Above all, I have found her profoundly empathetic; I have always felt she has a genuine motivation to understand my concerns.”
