Inner Compass Acupuncture & Integrative Health

I am beyond happy with the help I have gotten from Kate P. I have been a lifelong eczema sufferer, and after a lifetime of various steroid creams, Kate helped me go through a rough time going cold turkey from them with acupuncture and traditional herbal remedies. Her touch with needles is perfect, her suggestions practical, and she was great at responding to changes in my difficult-​to-​diagnose situation. I quickly washed out a lot of toxins and toxic emotions and am currently enjoying a brand new lease on life, in better shape than ever. I recommend her practice highly for anyone new to traditional Chinese medicine or those, like me, who have visited numerous practitioners over the years. Thanks Kate!!!

I have been seeing Kate Phillipi for a little over 1 year (since November, 2011). I sought her out for several chronic health conditions I was experiencing.
First of all, I was having chronic facial pain due to a series of sinus problems, as well as problems with my jaw (TMJ and other issues). This pain had been treated with sinus surgery, but that had not solved the problem. I had also tried a night guard and other dental-​based solutions to no avail. When I saw her, I was seriously depressed due to this chronic pain that had taken over my life. I had tried surgical and other solutions for over 18 months, and none of it had worked. I had tried acupuncture in the past for other things, and thought it may help with my pain issues.
Kate was very patient and understanding with my concerns. She has worked with me over the last year and has reduced the chronic facial pain I was experiencing by at least 75%. Now I am still occasionally bothered by the pain in my facial area, but it has been greatly reduced and I am enjoying a much better quality of life. I have confidence that she will continue to improve this condition with acupuncture and herbs.
The second chronic health condition Kate has helped me with is chronic infertility. I have been trying to get pregnant for over 8 years, and had tried IUI and other fertility measures with no success. I asked Kate to help me boost my fertility leading up to my first attempt at IVF. She was very knowledgeable about fertility issues/​IVF and was a great help in navigating through my first IVF cycle. Although my first cycle of IVF did not result in a pregnancy, Kate was not discouraged. She encouraged me to try again and gave me advice about what would help the procedure work the next time. She worked closely with me and charted all the IVF data (follicle size, follicle number, hormone levels, drugs I was taking, etc.) and treated me with herbs and acupuncture to help make the protocol more effective. I am elated to say that due to her help, I am now 25 weeks pregnant with my first child! I truly believe that Kate’s treatments in conjunction with the IVF protocols is what led to a successful 2^nd cycle of IVF. I am 40 years old, and had been experiencing infertility for 8 years, so getting me pregnant was no small feat!
I have nothing but great things to say about Kate! She helped me greatly reduce the chronic pain I was experiencing and helped me get pregnant (which I thought might never be possible). She is a gem!
