Shawli Acupuncture & Herbs

Feb 2019

This review is years overdue, and I feel terrible for waiting so long. Jenny is an amazing acupuncturist!!! I initially went to her because I was having trouble getting pregnant with my 2nd child. [Pregnancy #1 had taken very little effort, so I knew something was off]. I was in my mid 30s, working, raising a 2 year old, and terribly sleep deprived (like most parents). I had never tried acupuncture, but was not interested in doing anything invasive to get pregnant. Jenny's office was a short drive from my home at the time and her rate was super reasonable. Jenny took the time to listen to my concerns and began treating me for stress and fertility. I went in every Saturday for acupuncture ($50/session) and took Chinese herbal medicine daily ($10/bottle). After 3-4 weeks of treatment, I noticed a major change in my menstrual cycle [I don't want to get overly graphic]. And after a total of 8 weeks of treatment, I learned I was pregnant! No joke! Now, for those who are apprehensive about acupuncture, I will add that I have never had a fear of needles, and Jenny (I realized after trying 2 other acupuncturists where I live now) is probably much more effective in her treatment because she combines needling with electrical stimulation for clients who are comfortable with it. I was a little nervous during the first session, but by the second and third time, felt very comfortable with all of it. I even remember falling asleep during sessions. She's truly amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone who may need a little help to conceive.
