“So thankful for my acupuncturist, who has been so much more than an acupuncturist for me. She’s been the feminine nurturing support I needed to heal my cycle and fix my fertility, allowing for two pregnancies that occurred naturally after an infertility diagnosis, miscarriage and failed IVF. She’s been the honest, open and authentic mirror of motherhood and all its ups and downs. She’s been a wealth of knowledge not only in Chinese Medicine and treating everything from cysts to bleeding to autoimmune issues to mastitis, but also referring me to my team of amazing women who have helped me with every aspect of pregnancy and postpartum and have been by my side every step of the way. She helped me heal from my first birth with pelvic mapping and massage, taught me how to take care of my body with steaming herbs, supplements, nourishing foods and teas. She offered classes on awakening the sexual desires of women and mothers after childbirth and creating resilience in an impossible and broken culture and taught me how to regulate my nervous system in order to allow pleasure back into my life. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her, her deep and knowing knowledge of Chinese Medicine, herbs and motherhood or her belief in my body to heal and carry and birth and experience fully. In a world where we, as women, still feel so alone – women who help and support us along the way are a light in the dark.”
