“I cannot say enough good things about acupuncture with Christina! After three unsuccessful IVF cycles, I started doing acupuncture with her on a weekly basis wanting to focus on fertility. Not only was my 4th IVF cycle better, the results were SIGNIFICANTLY better to the point my doctor said, ‘I wasn’t sure I was looking at the same patient. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it!’ Nothing else had changed except starting acupuncture. That cycle resulted in a positive pregnancy test, and now I am 20 weeks pregnant with twins on the way! I truly believe that acupuncture made a huge difference in my success, and Christina has just been phenomenal and tailors the treatment to be exactly what you need. I am forever grateful!”
