“Acupuncture has changed my life! I have had fibroids for many years and have had them removed multiple times. They seem to just grow back and I had extremely painful periods that were very heavy. My doctor suggested a hysterectomy and I started searching for alternatives. I decided to try acupuncture and a friend had referred me to her acupuncturist When I met Kolleen I was introduced to a whole new world of medicine. I admit I was a little skeptical but still motivated to avoid more surgery. We did acupuncture at certain times in my cycle, I took herbs, supplements, and changed some of my foods. After one cycle I noticed my pain was much less and overall I felt better. I kept going for acupuncture and checking and after 6 months I went back to my OB/GYN. I was happy to report my periods were pain free and I wanted to see how my fibroids were doing. We did an ultrasound and found they had shrunken almost 90%! They haven’t disappeared completely but they are no longer causing me to take off work and my cycles aren’t pain filled anymore! Overall I feel like treatment lead me to a healthier place and I plan to continue! ”
