Verified Testimonial for Kourtney Zamora, L.Ac.
"I have done a lot in the last year to balance my health. Detoxing, cutting chemicals from my life, nutrition changes, supplements, chiropractic and seeing a specialist for my MTHFR gene mutation. I track my cycle by charting my basil cell temperature and even with all the diet changes, chiropractic, Chinese herbs and seeing a naturopath, my cycle was still off. My periods were regular but my temps indicted hormonal imbalance and I wasn't ovulating every month.
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." Ellen Barnard, 4/24/18 (Patient name shared with permission.)
From Kourtney: "Ellen is a great patient to have. She is extremely dedicated to her own health as well as the health of other women that are looking to become pregnant and throughout their pregnancy. She is a Doula (DONA), Childbirth Educator (CAPPA) and a primal nutritionist."

Postpartum
The four to six weeks following birth should be a time for rest, eating well and bonding. Some complications that we can help with include low milk supply, anxiety, depression and improving digestion, c-section scar reduction.
Birth Treatment Plans:
Pre-birth acupuncture treatments start at week 36. (Please schedule these appointments at least two weeks ahead of time to ensure your spot. These appointments fill up fast.)
Pre-birth treatment plans are a great option for women that want to decrease labor time or to decrease the chances of needing an emergency c-section. (See the study below.) Typically, plans are around 6 visits.
Some patients find it helpful to provide a link for friends and family to purchase an acupuncture e-gift certificate as part of their baby shower registry.
