HOLISTIC fertility tREATMENT

Acupuncture works to balance the whole system, including the reproductive and endocrine systems, which stimulates the body to heal itself. This systemic effect improves the likelihood of success on your fertility journey. Ideally, acupuncture treatment should begin at least three months prior to trying to conceive, in order to enhance fertility.

“If you are under treatments with Annie, consider yourself really lucky as you are absolutely in good hands. She is beyond amazing.

As a woman with PCOS who had just suffered a pregnancy loss, I was confused, angry, heartbroken, depressed and stressed out when I first came to Annie for help.

Since the initial consultation with Annie, I have been blessed with her loving and caring treatments. She sincerely cares about your well-being like a sister or a best friend does and always goes the extra mile to help you.

Annie has a very impressive background and knowledge in the field and a strong understanding of health and healing with an emphasis on the Eastern medical philosophy. On top of that, her humble and friendly personality makes you want to open your heart to her. She is a wonderful listener. Every time she eases my concerns with a solution which always proves to be golden. I step out of the room feeling totally renewed, every single time. It is like a magical therapy for your body and soul. What I receive is always more than what I expected.

It takes me three hours round trip to see Annie, but I am so glad that I didn’t give up. Time has proven that it’s all worth it. My body and soul gradually healed with adjustments of nutrition, diet, exercise, lifestyle and positive energy. Today I am halfway through a healthy pregnancy and typing these words with joy and peace. Physically and mentally I have improved so much that I have to give credit to Annie for all the amazing changes she has brought to me.

I am thankful for Annie being in my life as a healer and a friend. Go ahead and book her, your future self will thank you.”

It’s amazing what the human body is capable of accomplishing. This is me at 39 weeks, looking forward to meeting my babe. Not pictured here is the back pain, swollen feet, and heartburn (not glamorous, but hey it’s the reality). . Prenatal acupuncture was a ritual for me. From the morning sickness, appetite changes, and fatigue of the first trimester to the aches & pains of the second trimester and labor prep in the third trimester, I was steadfast about getting weekly treatments. I credit acupuncture for a healthy pregnancy and smooth delivery. . What I wish I had done differently, in retrospect, was to carve out time for #selfcare in the postpartum period. Caring for a newborn and trying to eke by on minimal sleep is rough. Finding childcare so that you can go out and do something for yourself may seem like an incredible luxury. But it makes a huge difference when you carve out time for self care — whether that means taking a walk, going to yoga, getting a massage, receiving acupuncture, or meeting up with a pal. . Happy Mama = Happy Babe = Happy Family . There are so many physiological shifts at play after birth. Add on the fact that hormones are completely out of wack. Postpartum depression and anxiety is extremely common, and it can often go untreated. I always tell my patients to make sure they have a good support system in place. Thankfully places like @carriagehousebirth and @selenidotorg exist to provide a safe space. Also, acupuncture is beneficial for post-birth recovery and common concerns like emotional balance, hormonal balance, fatigue, and lactation issues. . If someone you know has recently had a baby, reach out to them and check in. There are many ways you can provide support, and simply knowing that you are there could make a huge difference. . If you’ve just had a baby, know that you are not alone. Reach out to local parent groups and build community. Ask for help from the people in your life. They love you and, as the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. ❤️
