Marie Amato - one of life's little blessings

by Aja Cannon

I am a 31yr old single mother of four living with rheumatoid arthritis and thanks to Marie Amato I am no longer suffering from it. I was skeptical about acupuncture initially because of the thought of various needles all over my body and a comment from my rheumatologist who told me it was a waste of time. I met with Marie in April and enjoy our weekly sessions. Marie's expertise and pleasant demeanor have improved my life and help me get through each day. I am no longer taking plaquenil, humira, or methrotrexate. Marie is definitely a blessing, I wish I could fold her up, put her in my pocket and take her home with me.

Marie Amato

by Mary P

While pregnant and postpartum, I suffered from severe sciatica. My doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory medication but nothing worked. A friend suggested I see Marie. I was so impressed with her knowledge of Eastern medicine. With acupuncture and herbs she was able to cure what my regular physician was not and I've never felt better.

Life changing results

by JessicaLS

The YinOva Center was able to do what medicine could not. I suffered with the effects of PCOS for years. After several bouts of hormone therapy and sickening doses of insulin medications, I was at a loss. It was not until a coworker recommended acupuncture and the YinOva Center that things began to change. In less than two months Jill and her associates had my body functioning normally. I highly recommend the YinOva Center to any woman suffering with PCOS or fertility issues. Jill and her staff were able to change my life.

Healthy Twin Pregnancy

by JoLillie

I highly recommend YinOva Center and Jill Blakeway if you are an older woman trying to get pregnant (like I was). Jill Blakeway at YinOva Center helped me get pregnant and then helped me through a high-risk pregnancy to the happy place I am now... mother to wonderful identical girls. I thought acupunture was not for me (I did not believe in it's effects and thought it was too expensive) but acupunture and YinOva Center, specifically, was recommended while I was going through IVF and I gave it a try. I ended up looking forward to my acupunture session each week. The Center is calming and the perfect setting for acupunture. There is a "discussion" before each session and Jill Blakeway is very knowledgeable about women's health issues and I knew I was in good hands... and then of course, the perfect results.

• Pros: Calming ambience, knowledgeable staff, accommodating to schedule

Best accupuncture in the city

by Venetia01

I met Jill when I first moved to New York. She had been described to me as the godess of fertility and I was trying for a baby so was keen to give it a go. I started having acupuncture with her, but very quickly found that I was also confiding in her, using her as a resource to navigate the complications of finding a good doctor, how to get the most from my healthcare coverage and a million other stress-inducing complications. She is the most warm, compassionate, understanding and informed therapist. She really does offer alternative "therapy". I leave my sessions with Jill calmer, happier and re-energized. I would recommend the Yinova Center to anyone, but most especially to any woman struggling with fertility or trying to conceive. Every time I visit the center I feel nurtured and re-centered and you will too.

The absolute best

by Nan231

Who knew? Getting pregnant is incredibly difficult. After months and months of different doctors telling me everything was fine and not to worry, JIll was the first person to say, "I'm sure everything's fine, but let's just give things a nudge." Sure enough, there was a medical problem. But before we could have it fixed through western medicine, we got pregnant naturally. Jill was an incredible source of sage advice and calm through a very stressful time and I'm convinced it was through my husband's and my weekly visits with Jill that gave us our beautiful daughter.

The Best Acupuncturist in NYC

by NYCMommy525

When conventional medicine and treatments let me down, Jill and the Yin-Ova Center came to my rescue. Jill is the best acupuncturist I have seen (and I've been to a few). She knows her stuff! What I found the most comforting was that she LISTENS to her patients. Her office is always clean and welcoming. Her staff is friendly and helpful. Phone calls and emails get answered promptly, no concern is too small for her attention. If you are looking for the best, you want Jill!

Highly recommended!!!

by jeannined

I feel so lucky to have Jill on my "team." She and her staff at the YinOva Center are wonderful. I went to her for during fertility treatments and successfully conceived on my second IUI. I attribute a lot of my success to Jill's caring treatment. The Center itself is warm and welcoming--making what can be a stressful time so much easier. You couldn't be in better hands than Jill's!
