Pregnancy Success Stories

Pregnancy Success Story

“After seeing a few different acupuncturists, I have been really impressed with Joy. She has a loving and compassionate style and consistently expresses an interest in what is going on for me which always feels warm and genuine. She specializes in women’s health and fertility and is very knowledgeable about nutrition to feed your fertility which she incorporates into our discussions each week. In her holistic approach, she takes time to understand what I am going through physically, medically and emotionally and she makes me feel like she is personally invested in my journey and success (which is rare to find in a practitioner these days). I have a baby girl now”

Unexplained Infertility and Miscarriage to Healthy Pregnancy Naturally

I started seeing Joy after experiencing early pregnancy loss and unexplained infertility for more than three years. One doctor misdiagnosed me with PCOS and recommended that I start medication, and another doctor didn’t care to find out why I couldn’t conceive. I spent those years enduring endless blood labs that all came back normal as well as other invasive and expensive procedures. Because of my unique situation, beliefs, and health risks, I knew IVF and hormone treatments were not a good option for me. I truly thought I would never be able to have biological children. I decided to try Traditional Chinese Medicine as a last attempt at getting pregnant and was referred to Joy. Joy helped me realize that my luteal phase (the second half of my cycle) was short and that my menstrual flow was too light and too short for optimal fertility. Using acupuncture, herbs, and supplements, she helped me balance my hormones and increase my egg quality as well as my partner’s sperm quality. The sessions were pleasant and using meditation during acupuncture helped me relax. She truly cared about my emotional well being as well as physical and was always asking me how I was feeling about the process. Within a month, my chart showed a better ovulation pattern and an increased luteal phase. I also had more fertile days during my cycle. Joy took the time to change my herbal formulas based on my symptoms when she found it necessary. After following her advice for three months, I was pregnant! My husband and I are so excited that we are more than halfway done with this pregnancy, and the baby is healthy and growing! After more than three years of struggle, the time and money spent on seeing Joy were more than worth it. I recommend her to anyone experiencing any type of infertility or other women’s health issues.

PCOS success story after 2 miscarriages

“I started my pregnancy journey in a very negative headspace. After 2 miscarriages and being diagnosed with PCOS I thought my body would never allow me to be a mother. But, seeing Joy for three months and making small changes to my lifestyle turned out to be just what I needed. Joy not only provides a service with acupuncture, but she also instills love, support, and hope. I am happy to say I am 6 months pregnant and give most of the credit to acupuncture and Joy’s encouragement!”

Unexplained Infertility Success Story

“It was about a year and a half into my husband and I’s journey of trying to conceive I found Joy Lechner and she literally brought me back to life. I was lost mentally, physically, and emotionally and Joy found a way to bring my body to the healthiest ME possible. She taught me about nutrition and health to prepare my body for conception and also to rid my body of toxins and inflammation which was leading to chronic sinus infections and allergies. I have always been an active and healthy person but she knew the right herbs, tinctures, and nutrition remedies for my optimal health. She was there to listen when I needed to vent my emotions and she always knew the correct points for acupuncture to heal me. During the first three months of weekly appointments with Joy I was off 2 of my 5 allergy/sinus medications, I had lost 10 pounds, and I felt amazing. After 6 months I was off all of my medications, allergy, and sinus free, down 30 pounds from healthy nutrition, and baby body ready! Four months later, 10 months after meeting Joy, we have received the amazing news we are expecting! She has been there through the ups and downs, the good and the bad, and helped me get to my healthiest and happiest!”

PCOS Success Story after failed IVF cycle due to Poor Egg Quality

“This is my miracle baby, Freddie. He has filled my world with joy, hope, and wonder. The acupuncture I received from Joy played a huge part in him coming to this world. I was blessed to go to acupuncture with Joy every week for the 6 months leading up to my pregnancy. In that time I was able to significantly improve my egg quality. After 4 years of trying to get pregnant and two pregnancy losses, I finally got pregnant and conceived Freddie. I will forever be grateful to Joy. Not only is she an amazing acupuncturist but she was also so caring and encouraging on my journey to becoming a mom. And being a mom is a dream come true!”

PCOS Success Story after 3 failed medicated IUI cycles

“In March 2016 I became pregnant with my first baby naturally. I truly believe Joy had a large part in the journey and I am forever grateful. I continued to see Joy through my 8th week of pregnancy to ensure I was giving this pregnancy the best chance at making it full term. I had also planned to see Joy in the last 4-6 weeks of the term to prepare my body for delivery but my little guy had other ideas and came 5 weeks early. I delivered at 35 weeks, with a flawless vaginal birth that I would honestly do over again 10 times. I would happily refer anyone looking to become pregnant, previous trials or not to seek out her expertise. It very well may change your life, like it did mine. “

 

Out of state couple in 40’s

“I just wanted to tell you that we have news… I’m pregnant! 🙂 We saw you on February 6th and started your herbal tinctures and cleanse/detox program immediately after. My husband and I both committed fully to the diet and lo and behold on March 21 my pregnancy test came back positive– so, literally just a month and half later– AMAZING. I’m 16 weeks now!”

Health and Well-Being

” After thousands and thousands of dollars that I have spent, I honestly believe that you have helped me more than any of the doctors, tests, or any of the harsh prescriptions they put me on. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have changed my life with your gift of healing.”

” It has been years, but I now have a 28 day Fertile Cycle!”

“I have had anxiety for many years and decided to try acupuncture.  The practice itself is a wonderfully centering and relaxing experience. Joy brings a calming and caring optimism to her healing practice. She has helped me to bring my body to a more balanced state through her treatments and nourishing guidance.”

“I was afraid of needles, but Joy’s deft, delicate touch  and centered presence relaxed me immediately. A highly effective treatment—and her recommendations for aftercare were spot on.”

“Joy was intuitive and very compassionate with my needs when I was 42 weeks pregnant with my son.”

“Joy helped me tremendously with my health issues when Western medicine didn’t really have much of an answer for me. I have battled menorrhagia ( prolonged, heavy periods) off and on for many years.  I recently had a pretty sever bout of it and I couldn’t get in to see my doctor for weeks. With Joy’s knowledge of acupuncture and chinese herbalism, she was able to treat me fast and effectively. I was amazed at her deep understanding of asian medicine, and every symptom I was experiencing was right on par with what asian medicine was indicating. I found the herbal formula Joy gave me extremely effective. Within 48 hours of taking an herbal tincture she gave me, my body regulated itself, my period stopped and I finally felt normal again. It was truly amazing.  She then gave me another herbal formula which I take every day and it has really helped balance me out. I haven’t had any issues since!”

” I have been seeing Joy regularly since she opened her business. I see her weekly for best results. At 84 years young, she keeps my body feeling better by treating my carpal tunnel,  and the arthritis pain in my shoulders, wrists, and feet. My carpel tunnel issue is gone and the arthritis pain in my shoulders and feet is manageable so that I don’t have to take pain killer regularly. Thank you! I am a big believer in acupuncture! It has helped me at various times in my life when I needed relief.”
