Herbs & Acupuncture

I wanted to write to let you know that I’m seven weeks pregnant. I am sure it was the Chinese herbs and acupuncture that helped us succeed! My husband and I had been trying for nine months (and got pregnant very quickly with our first child) without any luck. I saw an OB and carefully brought in my cycle charts and was ready to talk about what I knew about my cycle. He couldn’t have been less interested — he almost seemed to make fun of me for charting. Needless to say, I so much appreciated your approach. You were interested in seeing the cycle charting and immediately identified the same thing I had seen, which was that my cervical mucus was not timed well in my cycle. After seeing you and taking herbs for just two months, we got pregnant! I noticed a real change in my CM during the month I conceived and I’m certain it was due to the herbs and acupuncture.

I can’t thank you enough for being a wonderfully warm and compassionate caregiver, as well as (obviously) great at what you do! I’m so glad I didn’t go down the path of fertility drugs and artificial measures before trying acupuncture and herbal medicine. I’m so much happier to have conceived the newest member of our family at home, rather than in a doctor’s office!

And it was a pleasure to get to know you, personally and professionally. I wish you all the best in both spheres.
