When I was diagnosed with infertility as a result of athletic amenorrhea (no period due to heavy exercise, competitive running) I was initially in denial. I was convinced I could fix the problem myself in time by cutting back on my mileage, increasing the amount of healthy fats in my diet and being patient. 22 months later, and at my wits end - I decided to try acupuncture. Nothing I had tried until that point has worked; I was getting desperate and no younger. The infertility specialist told me my only option was fertility meds and IVF. Simone is, as anyone who meets her will attest, the illustration of calm, kindness, empathy and support. All this is wrapped within her vast knowledge and expertise in her field... which you almost forget is the reason you're visiting, so relaxed you are in her care. Terrified of needles, I was more than a little dubious. As a practical type-A, I was also not an easy one to convince. But Simone changed that. I am - just a year after having met Simone, the mother to a 10 week old little girl. Had it not been for our sessions, no doubt I'd still be the frustrated and discouraged person I was just over a year ago. Also - at 34 weeks - upon discovering my baby was breech a single visit turned her around and at my 36 week ultrasound, my little girl was ready and head down. This time I wasn't as surprised! What did amaze me though was once I was due we had a session to 'move things along'...and the next morning I delivered at 9:28am. Suffice it to say I'm a believer and am currently struggling to find another ailment so I can return, if nothing more than for the wonderful hug I receive following a treatment. Thank you Simone - you gave me my family.
Pros: Everything...Simone is nothing short of amazing.
Cons: None
