What Patients Say on Google

I was skeptical of acupuncture but I tried it because I had many miscarriages and really wanted a baby and couldn't afford IVF. I truly believe I have 2 kids because of it acupuncture and the knowledge that Kat has! She is the absolute best! It also helped a lot with my anxiety.

I saw Kat a few times back in summer 2024. I was going to help regulate my menstrual cycle and improve fertility. I got pregnant a month later. I even told Kat that I’m pretty sure I felt exactly when implantation happened at my session the following day. Sure enough, that was the case! Kat is amazing at what she does and very knowledgeable. I look forward to resuming appointments now that I’m postpartum.

I started seeing Kat initially for acupuncture support for infertility as I was prepping for another round of IVF… she spent a good amount of time before I even laid on the table to go over my medical history, current state, concerns, questions, and everything/anything else. I have never had a care provider provide so much undivided attention… I am now 8 weeks pregnant
