✨ Sometimes the best moments happen when you least expect them. ✨
This week I had a chance encounter with someone who was my acupuncture patient nearly **nine years ago**.
When we first met, she was navigating infertility. She had been told by her reproductive endocrinologist that IVF would be necessary if she wanted to conceive. At one point, she decided to take a break from IVF. During that time, she continued coming for acupuncture—not because we were trying to "make" a pregnancy happen, but because it helped her sleep better, reduce stress, and simply feel healthier and more like herself.
Some time later, she conceived naturally.
This week, I finally got to meet the little girl she had dreamed of for so long. She had us laughing with some fantastic knock-knock jokes, and it was such a joy to meet her husband and son as well.
Every fertility journey is unique, and no treatment can guarantee a particular outcome. But moments like these remind me why I love being an acupuncturist. Supporting people through their journey—whatever that journey looks like—is an incredible privilege.
If you're looking for support with fertility, stress, pain, women's health, or simply feeling more balanced in your body, I'd love to help.
🌿 I offer a free 15-minute consultation for new patients.
