“I have been seeing Dr. Cindi for over 20 years, and she has been able to help me with every physical issue I’ve come in with. From severe lower back pain in my 20s, through multiple breathing and digestive issues, and now to perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes. Dr. Cindi continues to make my life better!”

“After two-and-a-half years of trying to conceive and going through various tests, my husband and I were given the diagnosis of ‘unexplained infertility.’ I was extremely distressed about being unable to conceive and I felt hopeless. I decided to reach out to Dr. Cindi. I believe her unique approach of combining Eastern and Western diagnosis and treatment is what ultimately led to me getting pregnant.

“The unbelievable (but true!) result is that I became pregnant within one cycle of seeing Dr. Cindi. With regular appointments with Dr. Cindi, I had a smooth pregnancy and had a healthy full-term baby girl. I highly recommend Dr. Cindi to anyone who is dealing with infertility, especially those who are told to pursue IUI or IVF as the next step.”

“
I have been a patient of Dr. Cindi’s for six years. She helped me get pregnant and treated my extreme morning sickness. She treated me when my body went into labor six weeks early and helped get me to 40 weeks. She now helps me keep my anxiety and depression at bay. She is easy to talk to because she listens and cares. I have gone to other acupuncturists but the experience with Cindi is totally different. If you are considering acupuncture, I highly recommend Dr. Cindi.”

“After two surgeries within two years to get rid of endometriosis, I was told I either needed to go on hormone meds or try acupuncture. Over the past year and a half, I have had the privilege of being under Dr. Cindi’s care to help with my endometriosis. Since seeing her, I have not had any problems with my endometriosis. I’ve had little to no pain and have started having, what I would call, a more ‘normal’ cycle.

“I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable, calm, and attentive acupuncturist. I feel like she really listened when I asked her questions, and I felt like she tailored my sessions to what I needed based on what I was feeling during that particular day of the session. I always left feeling like I was more relaxed and better balanced on the inside.”
– A. S.

“I am so grateful for the treatment I received from Dr. Cindi. I started receiving acupuncture treatments when we began IUI. Dr. CIndi looked at our history and recommended several hormone tests my doctor had not done, and thanks to her, we found some issues we hadn’t known about. They were serious enough for us to move on to IVF.

“I am so glad that we started acupuncture early, because I think that the treatment I received from Dr. Cindi really prepared me physically and mentally for a successful IVF cycle. Proceeding to IVF was a scary and stressful step, but Dr. Cindi helped me to manage my stress, regulated my hormones, guided me through the terminology, and helped me feel like what we were doing was normal. I believe that Dr. Cindi’s treatments were very influential in us having a successful IVF baby. I am currently seeing Dr. Cindi again to prepare for our next IVF baby.”
– R. B.

“I have been seeing Dr. Cindi for a few years and doing so has made my quality of life much better! I have a various range of autoimmune issues, including Rheumatoid Arthritis and Alopecia, and have needed care for my liver as well, due to a lifetime of taking anti-inflammatory medications. Dr. Cindi has treated me with acupuncture and herbs for all of these conditions. I am always happy to see her.

“Dr. Cindi definitely makes me feel better with her treatments, but even more so because I know she is treating me with care. You can be sure she keeps up with your conditions and new ways to care for them. I am very thankful to have Dr. Cindi as my acupuncturist.”
– L. A.

“Dr. Cindi is the greatest! I credit her for helping me conceive my second child. At age 42, testing showed both my husband and I were within normal fertility ranges but, for some reason, we were just not getting pregnant. After a year and a half of failed natural family planning and six IUI's (one with fertility drugs), I feared that IVF would be our only option. A nurse friend suggested acupuncture and recommended Dr. Cindi. In just one cycle I found myself pregnant! With Dr. Cindi’s help, I not only had a successful pregnancy, I had a totally nausea-free pregnancy!

“Dr. Cindi is easy to talk to, professional and gives me the results I need. She has helped me a great deal. I highly recommend her.”
– A. T.

“When I first reached out to Dr. Cindi, I was roughly five-months pregnant and had no idea how I was going to make it through the final part of my pregnancy. Prior to becoming pregnant, I had dealt with anxiety and depression, which had greatly increased with the hormonal shifts that pregnancy brought. I felt completely hopeless.

“When I emailed Dr. Cindi, she immediately responded and was the first healthcare provider, let alone person, to understand my desperation and empathize with me on a level I had not experienced. She made herself available to me that week, and from my first appointment I started to gain hope. Not only were her acupuncture treatments life changing, she also listened to my concerns and made me feel validated and understood.

“I am now nine-months pregnant and can honestly say I do not know how I would have made it here without Dr. Cindi. I have never felt more taken care of by someone in the field of healthcare and have also never felt more confident recommending someone to anyone who is struggling with fertility and pre/post-partum. My family and I will forever be grateful to Dr. Cindi for saving me in this pregnancy.”
– B. T.

“Since my early 20s I’ve had quite severe cramps with my periods, the kind where I’d lay in bed all day—sometimes two days—and need to miss school or work. I tried prescription pain medicines, and they didn’t work. I used birth control for years until I stopped taking it, and the pain came back in full force. That's when I found Dr. Cindi, and after a few treatments my painful cramps disappeared! I never experienced them again! I like to say she resets my battery.

“Not only are her treatments a lifesaver, but she is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and perceptive to her client’s needs. Acupuncture with Dr. Cindi is the best thing I do for my health.”

– A. B.

“Dr. Cindi is fantastic! She’s been so supportive of me and is always professional and compassionate. I began seeing Dr. Cindi after all traditional attempts to cure my allergies and asthma were failing miserably. With Dr. Cindi, I saw immediate relief! When I started seeing her, I had no idea that I’d be virtually free of the inhalers, asthma and the bronchitis that I faced every winter. And it’s great to know that if I’m feeling stressed out, I'll be a much more mellow version of myself when I walk out of her office an hour later!”
– E. W.

“I’d been doing endless rounds of fertility treatments with no results. I booked an appointment, went through my medical history, and did a few treatments with Dr. Cindi, and bam! After trying for two-and-a-half years, I got pregnant on my third round of injectables. The only thing I did differently was adding acupuncture and incorporating Dr. Cindi’s suggestions. I’m so grateful that I found Dr. Cindi when I did. My daughter is now 18-months old, and I’m seeing Dr. Cindi again as we try for another baby.”

– K. J.

“I had bad hyperemesis with my first pregnancy, even on Zofran. I vomited almost daily for the entire nine months. I spent a lot of my pregnancy in bed or on the couch and was unable to work. When I got pregnant with my second child I went on Zofran again, but I was still vomiting daily and having horrible dizziness. A friend told me about Dr. Cindi, and I started seeing her at week 18. I was skeptical that anything could help, so I was amazed that the week after my first treatment the dizziness was gone, I didn’t vomit once, and I only had bad nausea for two days! It just kept getting better with each treatment. I’d have a bad day here and there, but overall I felt really good!

“Dr. Cindi also helped me with other issues that came up during my pregnancy, such as low back pain and fatigue. I can’t say enough good things about her. Thanks to her, I had a much more enjoyable pregnancy than my first.”

– J. S.

“I had been struggling with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) for a few years before starting acupuncture with Dr. Cindi. Within just a few weeks, I started noticing changes: my level of discomfort went down, my digestion got better, my energy went up, and my mood improved significantly. Dr. Cindi is a great partner who really takes notice of my health situation and helps me work out the issues. Overall, it’s been a great experience and much more effective than allopathic medicine. I’m very happy with the results thus far.”

– A. D.

“My fibroids were causing such severe pain and bleeding each month that I was totally bedridden the first few days of my cycle. With acupuncture and herbs that Dr. Cindi prescribed, I am so much better. I can now go about my life as usual. Dr. Cindi, I don’t know how to thank you for this!”

– M. P.

“After trying to get pregnant for over two years, I found out that both of my tubes are blocked and that IVF was my only option. I had read about how acupuncture can greatly increase your chance of conception with IVF, so I did some research and found Dr. Cindi. After negative experiences with two other acupuncturists, Dr. Cindi is an angel. She is knowledgeable about both Eastern and Western medicine, easy to talk to, and listens well. We used acupuncture before, during and after our IVF cycle, and got pregnant on our first try!

“I continued to see Dr. Cindi throughout my pregnancy. My pregnancy was complication free and all my pregnancy woes were under control. I believe acupuncture played a part in that as well. I definitely recommend Dr. Cindi to anyone seeking an acupuncturist for fertility and pregnancy care.”
– D. B.

“I have been going to Dr. Cindi for over a month to focus on my migraines and a high-stress level. There was a noticeable difference of how calm I felt almost immediately, and I haven't had a migraine since we started (and I was getting them daily for many years). She is extremely professional and caring.” 

– A. S.

“I have seen many acupuncturists during my journey to get pregnant but none like Dr. Cindi. She is my favorite. We had been trying to conceive on our own for years and she was the missing piece we needed to expand to a family of four in our 40s! For context, I waited seven years to get pregnant and during that time, I met with expensive fertility specialists who told me that based on my age, I only had a dozen ‘good’ eggs left and better harvest them ASAP or else! 



“After one treatment, I knew Dr. Cindi was legit. I had a dull pain near my ovary following a past procedure that other doctors diagnosed as ‘normal’ but my intuition said it was a barrier to conception. After one treatment, I felt that area tingle, then a release of the tightness and immediate pain relief followed by a warm sensation. Less than three weeks later, I had a positive pregnancy test for the first time in seven years.



“If you are ready to start or restart the often arduous process to conceive and deliver, I will encourage you to choose Dr. Cindi as a partner every time.”
– A. P.

“In the last trimester of my first pregnancy, I developed a bad case of PUPPS. It was enough to drive me crazy. Sleep was already difficult and the itching from PUPPS made it even worse. I talked to my OB/Gyn and there is nothing medically they can do for it. I tried Rescue Remedy cream, calamine lotion, oatmeal baths and even some Benadryl. Nothing really made a difference. I finally decided to try acupuncture and within two treatments, it was gone! It was my first time receiving acupuncture, so I was nervous.

“Dr. Cindi was fantastic. She made me comfortable and helped me to relax and made the last few weeks of my pregnancy much more enjoyable! I highly recommend her as an acupuncturist and for the treatment of PUPPS.”

– A. M.

“I lucked out when my internet search for acupuncturists in the Bay Area led me to Dr. Cindi. Not only is she highly skilled in the use of acupuncture and herbs to successfully treat a variety of health issues, but she also sincerely cares about improving your physical and emotional well being. I started seeing her to treat cystic acne related to my periods. My periods were also very irregular, and I would get bad migraines with each period. After years of doctor visits that never seemed to get to the root of the problem, I decided to try acupuncture.

“Now, thanks to Dr. Cindi’s treatments and recommendations, I have been free of cystic acne for three years, my periods are regular, and I rarely get migraines anymore! My only complaint is that I had to move out of state, and now I can’t find anyone who matches her expertise and skill with Women’s Health.

“Dr. Cindi is an incredibly caring and skilled acupuncturist. She’s been a huge support to me over the years. She walked me through all my menopause symptoms and challenges and helped me significantly reduce my anxiety, mood swings, and hot flashes. She’s also been able to help with my allergy and immune system problems. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
– E. S.

“I started treatment with Dr. Cindi when my husband and I were trying to conceive. I knew it might be tough for me to get pregnant due to PCOS. After about two months I was pregnant! I thought it would take me years. I was so relieved and so happy to go through this gentle and pleasant journey and succeed! I kept going to Dr. Cindi all through my pregnancy, which was amazing. After my zero intervention labor and delivery of my beautiful, calm son I keep going to Dr. Cindi when I can and will definitely do it all over again for future pregnancies.

“Dr. Cindi has world-class knowledge, wonderful bedside manner, is very thorough, gentle and kind, yet on top of everything involving her patients’ care. I wish I had a pocket Dr. Cindi to take along with me wherever I go!”

– D. G.

“Dr. Cindi is a wonderful acupuncturist! I've seen her for multiple pregnancy issues, and each one had a good outcome. During early pregnancy, I had De Quervain’s tendonitis in my left hand. The acupuncture treatments alleviated the pain immensely, and when I developed the condition in my right hand, I was still able to use my left relatively pain free.

“Dr. Cindi also helped me induce my labor when I went past my due date. I’m truly thankful for this because I wanted to avoid as many hospital interventions as possible. After my baby came, I also used acupuncture to help my milk supply come in. The treatments Dr. Cindi gave me really helped increase my pumping output and lowered my stress related to the supply issue. I can't recommend her enough!” 

– A. H.

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Cindi for the past couple years and she’s nothing but great! She has helped me with various conditions including women’s related issues, TMJ, ear issues and stress. My TMJ has especially made great progress because of Dr. Cindi’s treatment plan. I still see her at least once a week for maintenance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for acupuncture treatment.”
– A. Y.


 “Dr. Cindi is great! I had never seen an acupuncturist and I was honestly a bit nervous. I saw her during my pregnancy to help prepare for labor and I am glad I did. She is very practical and gentle with her treatments. She also helped me when my baby turned breech by doing a special treatment—my baby turned the next day! I have seen her once since my baby was born and it helped me feel better as well. I highly recommend her!”
