Pregnancy, Morning Sickness, & Fertility

Cindi did a great job of helping regulate my cycles and getting me ovulating regularly. Unfortunately, that wasn't quite enough for us to get pregnant, and we went through a very long journey on the way to our wonderful son. Cindi was incredibly helpful all along the way, both with the medical aspects and the emotional. I don't think I could have made it through the very painful years without her compassion and perspective. It turns out I have several immune-related factors that were preventing a successful pregnancy. Cindi suggested it early on,and suggested an RE (Dr. Zouves, who is amazing!) who specializes in these problems.

It took me a while to be ready to hear that and to pursue it, but once I did, it turned out she was dead right. I'm amazed at how intuitive she was at knowing what was going on with me, and I'm incredibly grateful to her for figuring it out and sending me to the right doctor. She provided acupuncture support for our treatments with Dr. Z that I believe contributed to our success, and also was unbelievably kind, caring, and understanding during the often scary and stressful process.

Once I was pregnant, it was wonderful to see her every week or every other week...her treatments helped me have a very comfortable and easy pregnancy, and it was great being able to ask an expert all my little preggo questions without having to call my ob all the time. In short, Cindi was an integral part of our journey from "gee, let's have a baby" to the moment my ob placed our son on my chest. It was a much longer journey than we ever expected it to be, and I think we'd still be stuck somewhere on the path without her insight, intuition, and skill. I highly recommend her for any type of "female trouble", fertility challenges, and pregnancy support.

"I’ve been seeing Cindi for several years, for issues ranging from allergies, endometriosis, painful menstrual cramps and, most recently, throughout my IVF process. I believe that Western medicine is essential to good health, but I find true inner peace, in much the same way many might find it with meditation, by having acupuncture. To me, it feels very healing. The needles don’t hurt - I don’t like needles and I absolutely love acupuncture. What I like about Cindi is that she’s very educated about medical terms and conditions. I don’t have to explain much of anything and most likely she’s treated that same ailment before. Once the needles are placed, the room is yours to relax and/or drift off to sleep (I personally almost always sleep). At 11 weeks pregnant with twins and suffering from severe nausea and heartburn, it’s the only time I get relief these days. Cindi’s extremely good at what she does and I can honestly say the sessions have helped me tremendously."
