I was given Lisa's name by a friend who was also going through fertility treatments. My partner and I had been pursuing pregnancy for about a year and half. After 6 unsuccessful IUIs and one unsuccessful IVF attempt, I began going to Lisa. The initial visit was very reassuring. She asked me about my overall health and other issues that I struggled with, focusing on me as a whole person, not just someone who was struggling with fertility. She reassured me that not getting pregnant wasn't about one specific thing that I was doing "wrong", but that I needed to get my whole body ready to support a baby. After a few treatments and a treatment on the day of our second IVF attempt, we were thrilled to get our first positive pregnancy test ever! When we had a miscarriage scare a few weeks later, going to see Lisa was very reassuring and the herbal therapy she suggested is something I have kept up. I am now 19 weeks pregnant and am still continuing to see Lisa regularly. The sessions remind me that its okay to take care of myself, and to be cognizant of when to put myself first. I truly am more able to "listen to my body" and to be on the lookout for how stress and diet and even warmth are affecting me. I would recommend Lisa to anyone without reservation!

I began seeing Lisa for chronic female menstrual problems and migraines a little less than a year ago. I would get a migraine once a month for three days at a time. The combination of the two led to a great deal of anxiety in my life. I had been seeing an OB/GYN who put me on numerous different birth control pills and my symptoms seemed to only be getting worse. Within the first month of treating with Lisa, I noticed a dramatic change in the way I felt. She made me feel so comfortable on my initial visit, when I was nervous and scared and felt like I was losing my mind! It was my last hope for alleviating my symptoms. Between her monthly treatments and two simple herbs I take every day, my symptoms are gone. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine and her overall calming spirit have changed my life.

After several years of me and my husband trying to get pregnant without success, I made my first appointment with the intent of preparing my body and mind for upcoming treatments at a local fertility center. While the clinic was busily preparing my medical work-up, Lisa provided expert care, not only performing acupuncture but also giving counsel on my diet, exercise routine, sleeping habits, etc. I started to notice results immediately, and even my husband commented on how much more 'in balance' I appeared to be. After only 6 weeks of treatment with Lisa (and only 3 days before our first scheduled fertility procedure) we were delighted to find out that we were pregnant! We are now the proud parents of a healthy, 18 month old boy. Best of all, the lifestyle changes suggested by Lisa were invaluable throughout the challenges of pregnancy and new motherhood. I cannot thank Lisa enough for all she has done for my family and would recommend her without reservation.

I initially made an appointment for facial rejuvenation. However, after my first consultation with Lisa, we decided to work on other health issues first (at this point in my life, I would rather feel happy and well than look like a million dollars!) I have had attacks of Vertigo over the past couple of years and acupuncture has helped me with my balance, increased my energy level and enhanced my overall well-being. Lisa's concern and sensitivity to your health needs are refreshing. We have since concluded my facial rejuvenation sessions, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to look and feel year's younger without surgery. Acupuncture is something I wish I had discovered years ago! Acupuncture will continue to be a significant part of my health regimen. Thanks, Lisa!
