We are big advocates of homeopathy and alternative medicine so when we were not getting pregnant on our own we decided to make the investment in acupuncture. Due to our lack of ""swimmers"" we needed IVF/ICSI and reluctantly jumped into the medical system for such assistance. After just over 3 months we did our first retrieval and transferred 2 embryos. Soon thereafter we learned we were pregnant with twins! It turns out boy/girl twins no less. Life just didn?t seem to get any more perfect than that! I have now reached full term and am thankful for the huge role acupuncture (and Kirsten) have played in this pregnancy journey. I am apparently ultra sensitive and have given her a run for her money in terms of the use of herbs, tiny needles, a special diet & patience. Kirsten is extremely intuitive, flexible, and has the heart of a teacher! She is constantly tweaking our treatment plans and picks up on even the smallest details via our thorough conversations at each visit. Her guidance with nutrition has been insurmountable and very much appreciated. I am confident acupuncture (and Kirsten's consistency of care) have helped a tremendous amount in calming my nerves through all the stages of this fertility / pregnancy journey. This acupuncture experience has also taught me how to better care for my body and my family. After 1 year of treatments I can confidently say I would do it all again exactly the same and encourage anyone else to make the investments of time & money as well! In my opinion, it?s absolutely worth it for your physical health, mental health and health of your unborn children!
