What Clients Are Saying
“I had been considering acupuncture to treat several ailments for years now, but I never quite got around to it. I’m sure it was partly due to being slightly (if not very!) skeptical about this “alternative” approach to treatment.
Well, all I need to say is that 4 months into treatment ( twice a month seeing Amy), I learned I was pregnant for the first time ever. Not an easy feat considering I am 41 years old!!! We are expecting a baby girl this coming March and I am constantly joking to people that it is Amy who “got me pregnant” not my fiancé.
So listen up all skeptics! This stuff works!! And particularly if you go see Amy Gordon. Her bedside manner, demeanor and approach are all superior to any healthcare provider I’ve ever seen. She is easy to talk to, funny and warm. What else would you want as you are getting needles poked in you (doesn’t hurt at all by the way)?” —Perri F.
The Benefits of Acupuncture- It really works!
- Stress reduction-stress is capable of disrupting the delicate balance between the pituitary and reproductive glands and can even create spasms in the fallopian tubes and uterus, possibly preventing fertilization.
- Increased blood flow to ovaries and uterus-this improves uterine lining, and also improves the likelihood that the baby will be carried to term.
- Enhances egg quality and sperm quality- acupuncture and herbs have been proven to boost egg and sperm quality when applied over a three month period.
- Little to no side effects- unlike fertility drugs and other fertility treatments, acupuncture produces virtually no side effects while providing many of the same functions as these drugs.
- Women going through IUI or IVF procedures- mitigates the side effects of drugs and protects and enhances egg quality. Many women going through ART procedures claim they would not have been able to handle the stress without acupuncture
“Mama Lounge is a MUST for women. After 1 year of trying for baby numero dos, I came to this wonderful place. Pregnant in 3 months! Amy & Lisa are a must. Amy is the BEST, she is so knowledgable in women’s health. Her wonderful caring manner is something that cannot be duplicated. My OB/GYN even commends her on her work. Acupuncture works, if you allow it.” — Murrahh S., San Francisco
