My midwife has suggested that I find an acupuncturist to deal with some of the supremely suckful stuff I have going on right now. Any recommendations? I would strongly prefer going with a known quality and I have never seen one before to be able to judge.
I’m highly biased, but the couple folks I know who’ve used my sweetie have spoken very highly of her work, and she has a focus on acupuncture for women’s health, fertility, etc., this might be right up her alley. Might be out of geographic range for you, she primarily works out of offices in SF and Alameda. Professional site here.
Looks like an appointment is made for tomorrow. 🙂
Awesome! *hug*
Emily Mooney at SF Acupuncture is very nice, and a short walk from Embarcadero BART. My mom and I go to her.
Depends. How much do you believe in its efficacy?
I believe that many people I know and trust have had near miraculous cures effected using it. That means I am willing to give it a shot.
keep believing sweety, my acupuncture is better than sex and drugs all rolled into one. If I could afford it every single week I would be there.
I believe that one has to be open to acupuncture, and honest and detailed / forthcoming about your true conditions/symptoms … it took me a while to be comfortable discussing every detail of my appetite, sleeping, tongue texture, stool consistency and body temperature … but truly, it is the ONLY venue (naturopathy/acupuncture lumped in one) where I feel like I have been listened to in a medical setting.
I think it’s a great suggestion.
You are certainly one of the people I think of when acupuncture crosses my mind. 🙂
Love you.
Best of luck to you!
Sorry I can’t recommend a good one in the Bay Area, but I know at least two up here….one of whom was my doula! *hugs*
I had some “induction” points done two days before and the day I went into labor. She also did a “fertility” treatment on me right before we left to CA and got pregnant. So I think she’s the cat’s meow.
Well, I know I don’t need fertility help at this point. 🙂 I’m glad you have someone who has rocked for you, even if they are too far away to be useful for me.
