I started going to Isthmus Wellness in July for a help with relaxation and a little fertility boost. Disclaimer: I had never tried acupuncture before and thought it was a little "woo-woo." However, I really needed to relax and figured one go couldn't hurt - if anything, it would be an experience.
That first day, I talked with Lisa for over an hour (the appointment was for 90 minutes but I ended up taking 2 hours) - she's kind, funny, and I felt very comfortable talking to her. After my first acupuncture session, she gave me some tips for relaxation rituals other practices at home that could help me achieve my dual goals of ruminating less and starting a family. I went to see her twice before getting a positive! I have been continuing once a week during my first trimester and it is so relaxing. Since I don't have a point of reference for the ups and downs of a first time mom to be (except for the internet - which can be more detrimental than helpful if you want to be able to sleep at night), Lisa has been an amazing resource on this journey. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a compassionate, holistic take on feeling better in any area of life.
