FERTILITY TESTIMONIALS
Fertility Support
"With the supportive help of Mia Song, Christina Lee, Jewell Smith, and the staff at Jade Spring Wellness Center (JSWC), I became pregnant within 2 months of committed and consistent acupuncture treatments at the age of 34. This second pregnancy was realized in September 2011, after 17 acupuncture treatments. My husband and I are excited to meet our first child this late May/early June 2012.
My husband and I first became pregnant in July 2010, almost immediately after getting off birth control. We were amazed by how quick I became pregnant. We felt truly blessed and were absolutely thrilled. Unfortunately, we found out at our first prenatal visit with my OB/GYN that we miscarried at approximately week 5. We were very sad.
After the miscarriage, we were persistent in trying to get pregnant again. It was in May 2011 during my annual physical exam that my doctor suggested that I see a fertility specialist should I not get pregnant within 3 months. Three months came with no success of a pregnancy. Before exploring my options to become pregnant through western medicine, it was recommended that I consider acupuncture treatments for fertility. An acquaintance highly recommended JSWC, as they helped her get pregnant with her second child.
My first acupuncture treatment began in early August 2011. My initial feeling of the treatment process was skepticism, but I reminded myself that I had nothing to lose. I preferred the eastern/holistic approach of getting pregnant rather than possibly poisoning my body with different types of western medicine.
I’ve heard that acupuncture offers relaxation. In the early stages of my treatment, I undoubtedly felt relaxation could be better achieved with a nice deep-tissue massage. It wasn’t until around the 6th acupuncture treatment that I realized the great effects of acupuncture, as I felt more relaxed – physically and more importantly, mentally.
The treatment plan I was put on by Mia Song was one I was committed to with 3 treatments per week for the first two weeks and 2 treatments per week thereafter until she felt my body was well-balanced. In addition, there were herbs and supplements I was required to take to help achieve the desired outcome. Throughout the treatment, adjustments were made with regards to the dosage of certain herbal supplements under the ongoing communication and advice of Mia.
Needless to say, my committed efforts of following through with all the acupuncture treatments, consumption of herbal supplements, daily recording of my body temperature, and the support of JSWC proved to be rewarding, as the desired outcome was successfully achieved! Thank you so very much, JSWC! "

Fertility and Pregnancy
"I started with Jade Spring Wellness Clinic about 2-3 weeks before I conceived. We had a miscarriage before and were having trouble conceiving again, trying for almost a year with no luck. Jewel was very knowledgeable in the points for fertility and soon we found out we were pregnant! I had a difficult 1st trimester - all the symptoms you can possibly have - so I started seeing Jewel for acupuncture weekly. Those first 4 months were tough for me. Some weeks, it was only the acupuncture and herbs that kept me going. Jewel expertly helped me manage my 1st trimester discomfort (I never even had to take a sick day at work) while Mia supported with herbs to prevent a 2nd miscarriage and keep my energy up. I'm happy to report that we have a healthy baby boy on the way (3 more months) and I am doing very well. Also, Jewel has been working directly on our unborn son with "healthy baby" points. My OB is thrilled with how healthy both myself and the baby are, especially given that I am a "high-risk, older" mom-to-be. I am so grateful for Jewel, Mia and the entire team at Jade Spring Wellness. They have helped me and my family beyond measure. I highly recommend them.
Warmest regards, "

"All my life I wanted to be a mother. My husband and I waited until the right time and began to try. To my dismay, I didn't get pregnant. I tried so many fertility protocols but nothing helped. Finally, I turned to acupuncture and found Jade Spring Wellness Center. I worked with Mia Song and felt relief after the first visit. Between her reassurance, nurturing atmosphere, and precise yet gentle treatments, I was in good hands. I began to feel hope. I stopped most of my other fertility protocols and focused on acupuncture. I worked with Mia for 3 months, sometimes coming in more than once per week. It was one of the best days of my life when I learned that I was pregnant. Now, I have a child who I love with all my heart. My treatments with Mia helped my body conceive. It's all about trust. "

" I was trying to get pregnant but I did not realize that the daily stress, related to work primarily, was affecting my chance to conceive. Previously, I had irregular menstrual cycles and after regular acupuncture treatments at Jade Spring, my cycle became regular. I had received 6 weeks of acupuncture when I discovered I was pregnant. I have a beautiful and healthy baby boy, and after this experience I will recommend acupuncture to anyone. Mia was excellent and dedicated acupuncturist and I will continue with Jade Spring’s team. Thank You!!! "
