“So, I was able to catch my OB right before she was about to leave to a birth, and got an ultrasound, and baby was head down! Not engaged in my pelvis, but down. Hopefully he stays that way. I am so glad we decided to go with my instinct today, and go with the healthy pregnancy acupuncture.”

Hi Anna,
I don’t know if you remember me but I came in for an acupuncture treatment to induce labor. You had asked me to text you/call you about the birth but I completely lost track of time and forgot. I’m sorry it’s taken me sooo long to get back to you, but I thought you would enjoy seeing little Benjamin who you helped bring into the world! After I saw you, I started laboring in the middle of the night and throughout the morning. Just like before, my labor stalled again for some reason and then it picked up again around 4 pm. We checked into the hospital at around 12:40 am and he was born at 1:47 am. It was a pretty quick and easy delivery and [it was] such and amazing and different experience. Thanks so much for your warmth, kindness and help. I hope to come in for some more treatments once I get my act together juggling my toddler and newborn. Haha. Thanks again!

When my pregnancy rolled into week 39, our healthcare providers wanted
to induce labor. Instead, I visited Anna, who performed an acupuncture
procedure designed to induce labor naturally. Within two days, labor
began and after an hour in the hospital our son arrived in perfect
health. Thank you Anna!

Hi Anna,
I just wanted to to send you a note and let you know that I had my last ultrasound last week. Not only did my previa clear itself, but cleared by 4 cm! My doctor was astounded!! I told him I had been seeing you and he noted it in my chart. 
Now I am completely off all restrictions and the plan to have the baby 4 weeks early by c-section is completely out the window.
I cannot thank you enough for all the help and positive energy!!
With love and much gratitude,

Hello Anna,
Noelle’s sore throat was gone after 1 day of using the Astragulas and Sambucol. Kasen is about dried up now, I think. I’ve been noticing for the last 2 days that it looks like his runny nose is gone. No cough.
Julia still has a runny nose and a little cough, however, all of the secretions are very thin and clear. That leads me to believe that it is drying up.
For myself, the herb that you gave me, Sing Ju X (something like that). I’ve been taking 2 pills every morning and this time out of the hospital was my quickest intestinal recovery. It usually takes me 6-7 days to have a BM with all the codine and the anesthesia that they give me for the surgery. They gave me morphine too. This time it was only 4 days.
Well, I did just have a major surgery which has healed great. If you have any other suggestions in mind for pills to take for those symptoms I can come get some more herbs from you unless you have other dietary suggestions.
Take care.
