Several years back I suffered from sciatic pain and went to Lisa for treatment. I was so pleased that she was able to stop the pain and as a bonus she also cured me of my allergies for about 3 years after completing treatments. So during my pregnancy when I began experiencing hip pain due to side sleeping, and rhinitis, I immediately thought "I need to see Lisa again". I began seeing Lisa during my 26th week, twice weekly and almost immediately had results. Soon I no longer had to take allergy medicine and sleeping on my side became more tolerable. Then at 32 weeks I began to experience extreme dryness in my mouth. My lips were burning, my gums were peeling and I had canker sores on my tongue and cheeks. I went to my doctor, my dentist, a homeopath, and my midwife and unfortunately none had ever heard of this condition and had no answers for me. Lisa began working on me for heat in my heart and by week 36 my condition was about 85 percent better. Lastly at 36 weeks Lisa began to prepare me for labor. I'm not sure exactly what the treatment entailed, however I did give birth to Emma on her due date (only 5 percent of women actually give birth on their due date) and I labored for 8 hours, almost unheard of for a first time pregnancy. I can't recommend more strongly the use of acupuncture during pregnancy. It's non-invasive, the treatments are relaxing, and it really works. I also want to include an experience a friend of mine had with acupuncture and pregnancy. She lives in New York and her and her husband had been trying to conceive for 3 years with no luck. She finally went to see an acupuncturist who worked on her for spleen, liver, and kidney imbalance and I am pleased to say that she is now pregnant with twins. I initially sought treatment from Lisa Bernazani at Middle Path Acupuncture for pregnancy-related back pain. I was pleased to receive immediate and continuing relief from this pain, which was a surprise to me given that I had experienced chronic sciatic nerve pain for over thirteen years. During my third trimester of pregnancy, I became very ill with a virus and Lisa's treatments and nutritional guidance allowed me to gain the strength and balance I needed to fight the virus and regain the weight I had lost. Her empathy and expertise provided me with hope and confidence I needed during one of the most challenging times of my life. I highly recommend Middle Path Acupuncture for the treatment of both chronic health problems and for acute illnesses or injuries. I am confident that you will find resolution to such issues, even if the conditions have previously been unresponsive to treatments. Middle Path Acupuncture works with you to determine the cause of your ailments, rather than simply treating the symptoms. I couldn't be more pleased with the care I have received at Middle Path Acupunture. I began seeing Lisa early on in my pregnancy for general wellness as well as treatment for chronic neck pain and severe headaches which I had suffered from for several years even prior to pregnancy. The style of acupuncture that Lisa practices along with her understanding of the body both physically and energetically enabled my body to heal in a way that I had never experienced before. Not only did I rarely have a headache, but I felt balanced and strong throughout my entire pregnancy. I also recovered very quickly after the birth of my son and attribute this to my work with Lisa. Her work is some of the most effective I have ever experienced. I am writing this letter to you as a recommendation for your services. Please feel free to share it with your potential clients that may be considering your treatment. My pregnancy was a time of joy. From the very beginning I decided to take the very best care of myself and my baby. I avoided alcohol, ate only healthy foods, exercised daily and didn't take so much as an antacid the entire nine months! When my due date came and went my doctor began discussing the possibility of inducing labor. I was mortified! After nine months of self-care I was not going to assault my baby with labor-inducing drugs if I had an alternative. Thankfully, I had Lisa. Lisa explained to me that acupuncture treatment may take up to three visits to induce labor. My second visit to Lisa was scheduled for a Friday. My doctor had given me only until Monday morning to go into labor naturally. Within hours of my second visit with Lisa, my water broke and my husband and I were off to the hospital. My son came into the world nine days past my due date, but less than 10 hours after my visit with Lisa! Lisa is a caring and gentle provider. I would recommend her to anyone that may have a late arriving baby. |
