Verified Testimonial for Kourtney Zamora, L.Ac.

“​After meeting Kourtney, a local Acupuncturist in my area I decided to add it to my routine to boost my chances of conception. I saw Kourtney once a week for 2 months and on my 3rd cycle we got pregnant! Once we had confirmed pregnancy, Kourtney worked on my body every 2 weeks to support the pregnancy. We have now made it out of the 1st trimester and I am SO grateful to have her helping me with an old hip injury that is flaring up due to pregnancy."
