Infertility, pregnancy, post-partum testimonials

Jamie Goodman, State Licensed Acupuncturist

Labor preparation

"Thank you so much for your great prenatal acupuncture treatment. I surely enjoyed it and I'm convinced it helped me to start my labor. After I saw you on Thursday morning my contractions got more and more intense. Our baby was born naturally the next day. He is a healthy and very happy baby." - Sept 2011

*****

Fertility and pregnancy complications

"Thank you for your work in helping me/us get our baby girl here. I am very, very grateful. Last fall and winter were challenging times for me and you provided a great source of comfort, healing and hope. I appreciate your support." - Sept 2011

*****

Labor induction

"We are thrilled with our baby's arrival and thank you so much for helping to encourage him along. I think I likely would have had a c-section if I hadn't come to see you." - Aug 2011

*****

Infertility, headaches, anxiety

"I used to get stress headaches frequently.   Now, not at all.   Also, I feel good mentally and physically.    My periods are better - no headaches - and I feel them more at a uterine level, not my whole body.   I feel my ovaries and hormones now." - July 2011

*****

Breech baby

"The Doctor said the baby turned. I'm very happy! Thanks for all your help!" - July 2011

*****

Fertility, pregnancy care, pregnancy hypertension

"The reason I was OK in this high risk labor is because I heard your voice.   You were the only one who told me that this baby was ok. And I knew it." - Dec 2011

*****

Consult with doula, birth support

"I was so inspired by your supreme happiness around the birth. Childbirth is so much about drawing on history and ancestry of women who came before. My client's labor went very well and I'm so grateful that I could call you for your input. It was so helpful to have you." - Jan 2011

*****

Amenorrhea

"After seeing you yesterday, my period did come. I just had the ultrasound and it showed that the lining did build up, so maybe it's going back on track there. Thanks for bringing it back!" - Dec 2010

*****

7 months pregnant

"My back felt great after the last session and I slept really well." - Aug 2010

*****

"I just got back from having an ultrasound on my ovaries and my doctor is AMAZED! I have perfect follicles and "youthful, happy" ovaries. This really seems to be working!" - June 2010

*****

"You were the key to my birth. It was amazing!   I refer everyone to you.   I arrived at the hospital 10 cm dilated and ready to push.   Had my baby in a few hours." - April 2010

*****

"The carpal tunnel has diminished; it's so amazing having feeling back in my hands!  Yay!" - Jan 2010

*****

11 weeks pregnant, Hyperemesis, constipation, depression

"I feel a lot better since the treatment last week. I was 100% normal the day after. I'm going to cut back medication." - March 2010

*****

Labor induction

"Just wanted to drop a note to say that I delivered a healthy baby girl on February 11th.  I saw you for a noon appointment that day - I arrived at the hospital at 5:00pm that day and was 5 cm dilated.   I delivered my baby at 9:33pm that night.  It was an easy and fast delivery." - Feb 2010

*****

Pre-natal carpal tunnel, acupuncture induction

Good news!   My baby girl was born early Friday morning (last saw Jamie on Wed afternoon).   It was quick and so wonderful - painful - but natural, so we're really happy and excited. Thanks for all your treatments and either I have a great distraction, or I started noticing less of the carpal tunnel pain, which is certainly good! I hope to come in for "comfy needling" soon." - Feb 2010

*****

Premature ovarian failure, hot flashes, anxiety

"I wanted to let you know that I appreciate the time you spend - it really means a lot to me that you really listen and sincerely care.   You're one of the people fighting the most for my success and that really counts for me, more than almost anything else does.   So I just wanted to let you know." - Nov 2009

*****

Prenatal hypertension, labor prep, induction

*****

Labor preparation support

"You have been a great voice of support for me and I haven't heard it from anyone else or anywhere else. I really appreciate it. I felt strongly during the last treatment that I do NOT want to rush the baby and schedule a pitosin induction at 41 weeks. REALLY, THANK YOU." - July 2009

"It's always just amazing to me how relaxed and peaceful the whole acupuncture session is. I don't know how it works, but it certainly does. My partner is definitely on board and going to get his sperm checked out and we're really excited about getting my body ready to have a baby!" - Jan 2009
