Street parking around the office is free and usually available. We also have 2 reserved parking spots labeled "For unit 6" in the parking garage at the back of the building. The driveway to access these spots is on the west side of the building, marked with an "Entrance" sign. These parking spots are a bit tight - if you drive a large car or aren't comfortable with tight parking spots, you might want to consider street parking instead.
When performed by a qualified practitioner, acupuncture is safe for everyone, including pregnant women, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems, and even for babies and children. As opposed to hypodermic needles used for injections or drawing blood, acupuncture needles are extremely thin and flexible.
Herbal medicine has formed the cornerstone of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It is still practiced extensively throughout China in modern clinics and hospitals. Chinese herbal medicine is the primary therapy used for internal medicine complaints, such as digestive problems, respiratory problems, menstrual issues, and insomnia.

Kate has been an important part of my recovery effort after getting COVID and having lingering symptoms. She steadily holds her understanding of herbs, acupuncture and lifestyle choices and offers me her knowledge in a way that my body can ease into, bringing deep health into my daily life. My body relaxes as soon as I walk in her office knowing it will be in kind and skillful hands. Also, she is trust worthy, has clear boundaries and is a great communicator.

Kate has been supporting the health of me and my family for the past 7 years with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. She has an incredible talent for listening deeply and asking really insightful questions. She gets to the root cause of what's going on before recommending treatment. Her calm, kind, and studious personality make me feel confident in her and the treatment she prescribes. And, she's a fantastic practitioner! I've seen other acupuncturists in the past but the experience with Kate is totally different. I experience energy surging through my body, sometimes intense heat, and always deep

Though I've known Kate for twenty years, I only just went to her as a patient for the first time, and she was incredible. Given what I've known about Kate's intellect, passions and character, I'm not surprised that she delivered a superlative treatment. She took great care to get to the root of my malady, and attended to other things that needed attention. She was gentle and kind and thorough. I've been receiving acupuncture for thirty years, and her treatment was one of the best.

I went to Kate the day before I was 39 weeks pregnant and had a multitude of issues including insomnia. She listened to what I had to say and I was very impressed with her knowledge of Chinese Medicine. After my first visit, I instantly felt better and that night was able to sleep.I saw Kate the following day and had immediate energy. Overall, I'm amazed.

I feel so fortunate to have found Kate Blalack and her practice. I read so many wonderful reviews on her scheduling website and had a feeling I was looking in the right place for my health needs. Scheduling appointments, whether online or in-person, has been a breeze. At a time in my life when I wasn't having success resolving several health issues, Kate has worked with me by examining symptoms from a whole health perspective. After each visit, I see real progress and that's so encouraging. It's beautiful to witness when someone has found her calling in life and Kate is a shining example of this

You'll love her! Not only is Kate a sweet and genuine person, but she also knows her stuff! I've seen her throughout my last 2 pregnancies. Her way is very gentle and supportive for women becoming mothers. Whatever arose, she was able to treat, and if she didn't have the answer to a question or concern, she would help me find it. She also listens really well. I just adore her and hope she'll become our family acupuncturist as the kids and us need it over the years.

Kate Blalack is amazing. Her knowledge about Chinese medicine and the Chinese culture is reflected in her practice. Kate's calm and quiet demeanor helps me feel relaxed during my treatment, despite my huge fear of needles. I have recommended her to many of my friends and will continue to recommend her; Kate is the best!
