Infertility

Thoughts on my 40^th Birthday…

I am a reproductive acupuncturist who has had reproductive challenges. I often find it hard to answer the question when someone asks how long we had been trying. Fertility as it turns out, at least for us, was not a straight line and had so many layers - beyond what I could have imagined going in. Of course as a practitioner, I know those layers: blood flow, egg quality, sperm quality, stress, diet, vitamins, supplements, etc., but in real life it is not always that easy or direct. I suppose in total maybe we “tried” for 5 years.

I’m 42 years old and I have just given birth to a healthy baby boy.  He is the most beautiful baby boy I have ever laid eyes on; ok, so I may be basis, but I’m sure if you saw him you’d agree he’s pretty cute!

Words Cannot describe how much Dr. Ryan Funk from Acubalance has helped me in my fertility journey. I've been seeing Dr. Ryan Funk for almost a year now. I first started at Acubalance shortly after a failed IVF treatment.

I was amazed at how easy my transfer day went. I met with Lorne for a pre-transfer session, which was super relaxing and put me into a really open space of receptivity, I went for my transfer, and then I returned for a bookend treatment.

Dear Acubalance Team

I have lost track of the number of times I've tried to write this letter. The truth is, words can't describe the gratitude I feel towards Emilie and the Acubalance team for the gift of our beautiful son.

To Acubalance,

I started going to Christina Ceconni and Kali MacIsaac at Acubalance after my second miscarriage because
I had heard that acupuncture can help with fertility issues. I wasn't sure
what to expect, especially when I was answering lots of questions about my
bowel movements (lol).

Dear Dr. Emilie Salomons and Acubalance,
