“Alison was an invaluable member of my fertility ‘team.’ From initial diagnosis, to laparoscopic surgery, to IUIs and eventually IVF and pregnancy, she was a trusted ally during a long and difficult journey. She was with us at every stage to share her wisdom and recommendations, and I never felt judged or pressured to try any treatment plan I wasn’t comfortable with. I am forever grateful for her skill and compassion, and thanks to her help we now have 2 beautiful, rambunctious boys!” – Tori

“After a miscarriage and diagnosis of “lean PCOS” I sought out Alison after we conceived again. I saw her throughout my first trimester and went on to have my first child, a healthy baby girl at full term. I sought out Alison again during the 3rd trimester with my last pregnancy (3rd child) for assistance to go into spontaneous labor. Each visit was extremely stress relieving. Alison really listened to my concerns and made sure baby would come on her own! She was confident, calm and reassuring during the home stretch. My final visit was on my due date, and I ended up going into labor that night and delivered a healthy baby girl early the next morning. I absolutely recommend Alison to all friends who are hopeful to conceive or are currently expecting. She is a wonderful practitioner who truly listens! I plan to continue sessions with Alison to improve my overall well being, now that my family is complete.” – Caitlin

“Infertility is physically, emotionally, and spiritually draining. When you’re stuck in the journey you question if you will ever get pregnant and it can be hard to sustain hope. I’d been going to acupuncture for several years before I met Alison but decided to find an acupuncturist who was a fertility specialist. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for around 8 months before I changed over to Alison’s clinic. I could tell a huge difference in the bi-monthly sessions with Alison over the course of 6-7 months – I would see her before ovulation and before possible menstruation, or pregnancy, phase to help increase our chances of conception. I am so happy to say that we were successful and are expecting our baby girl any day now! I continued to see Alison throughout my pregnancy and didn’t experience most of the negative symptoms most women do such as severe nausea, swelling, extreme body aches, and insomnia. I fully believe Alison’s care helped us conceive and I plan to be her patient for years, and babies, to come.” – Kate

“Halfway through my otherwise healthy pregnancy I had a little lower back pain, so Alison was recommended to me by both my doula and my prenatal yoga instructor – which is akin to a 5-star recommendation!  Once I started seeing Alison the back pain disappeared almost immediately, but I kept up appointments every 2 weeks because I could feel this was a cornerstone of my wellness. Not only did the pregnancy continue with great ease, but Alison helped me recover physically, and then mentally when life became very stressful with a baby and a job.  Now I mostly go because Alison is a delightful friend to be around…which I consider another cornerstone of wellness.” -Britt

“After being diagnosed with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss, I decided to seek alternative and complementary treatments. Alison came highly recommended by my fertility support group. She is extremely knowledgeable and cared for me on both on a physical and emotional level. I finally felt empowered in my pregnancy journey. Thanks to her attention and treatments, we welcomed our beautiful daughter in November 2018. I highly recommend Alison to any woman wanting to get or stay pregnant.” -Rachel

“My struggle with infertility was complicated and frustrating, but ultimately filled with hope and success thanks to my regular acupuncture treatments with Alison. After several miscarriages, some really miserable lab test results, and after I was told there was little to no hope of a second baby for our family… I began infertility acupuncture treatments with Alison. While I was skeptical at first, the drastic changes I saw in my test results (and the infertility treatment options those better test results afforded) were profound.  In September 2018, we welcomed our miracle rainbow baby into the world. I cannot recommend Alison enough to anyone who is struggling with infertility. Her compassion, knowledge, and amazing treatments helped complete our family – even though doctors practicing traditional “western” infertility medicine initially gave us very little hope it could be done.” -Kari 

“So thankful to have found Alison for the second half of my pregnancy. She is incredibly professional and kind. During my pregnancy, I saw Alison every 2 weeks to help with stress, anxiety, swelling and fatigue. I always left feeling relaxed and slept so much better after sessions. Acupuncture is a must for me during my pregnancies.”  -Lynne

“I have been Alison’s patient for 10 years. I sought her out for her knowledge and experience with infertility. After 14 years of unsuccessful infertility treatments, I became pregnant with twins with the help of Alison and acupuncture. I highly recommend her, she is an amazing practitioner.” -Christie 

“I am such a HUGE fan of acupuncture!! It has helped me so much not only with my lower back issues but with infertility. I was attending Cape Fear Acupuncture during my 2 miscarriages a year and a half ago & I strongly believe that together in knowing my cycle & what she could do to help, brought me my rainbow baby last November of Austin. I will always be grateful for the ways Alison helped to de-stress my life & the healing ways that made this pregnancy happen️!” -Marie 

“Alison helped me with my journey to becoming a mother.  Each session with her allowed my body to relax and to be prepared for pregnancy.  The support she provided was above and beyond. We focused on emotional and mental health, diet, and supplements before each session.  We now have a beautiful son. Alison’s knowledge and skills in acupuncture helped my husband and I have the family we wished for.” -Kelly

“I’ve had the honor to work with Alison in our local reproductive health community for several years. I have the utmost respect and confidence in her knowledge and services. Our mutual clients trust her implicitly! Alison’s expertise, professionalism, and compassion are a true gift.” Windy Ezzell, MA, LPC (specializing in fertility counseling)
