“I had 3 miscarriages and began IVF. I started seeing Kolleen during my IVF cycles and couldnt get to egg retrieval. My ovaries were “poor responders” to the medications. Acupuncture helped me with stress during the cycles and was a support as each one seemed to fail. We wanted to take a break and decided to keep doing acupuncture while we planned our next steps. Kolleen laid out a whole fertility program tailored for me. She suggested at least 3 months before we would consider another IVF round to recover from the 2 years of miscarriages and IVF cycles. . I was crushed because I knew I could get pregnant just couldn’t stay pregnant. I was 2 cycles into treatment and I became pregnant on my own again. I kept seeing Kolleen through the 1st 12 weeks and seeing my high risk OB/GYN at the same time for monitoring. I went monthly for wellness and nausea until I was full term then began getting acupuncture more regularly to prepare for birth. I was in disbelief until I held my daughter having been through so much and for so long! I saw Kolleen for some post-partum mood issues and for increasing my milk supply. Her treatments and care were what my body needed and I came back right away when 18 months later I became pregnant again! We did the same holistic care and I am proud Mom to 2 healthy, happy little girls! Words can’t express how grateful we were to find Kolleen and the world of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.”
