Amelia’s story:

I found Angela by asking my reproductive endocrinologist (a top one in NYC) for a good acupuncturist recommendation. 

Although I was at the fertility doctor and was planning to freeze my eggs later in the year, I wasn’t looking for help with fertility per se.

I was desperate to find a holistic health expert who could help me with symptoms from a 1.5-year ongoing auto-immune flare-up.

I had been taking medicine for it and seeing multiple doctors at top NYC hospitals, but could not fully shake the symptoms. After consulting with my doctor I decided to pause my medicine because I was feeling so unwell and I wanted the medicine out of my system ahead of egg freezing. 

I emailed Angela’s office asking if she had experience in autoimmune, explaining support during egg freezing was a secondary interest.  I was skeptical if Angela could help me.  I had already tried acupuncture at a few different places and frankly thought her expertise was fertility. 

If you met me before the flare-up - I was a high-performing executive at a Fortune 25 company. I loved fashion, traveled the world, lived abroad, exercised daily, and loved seeing my friends and family. Since my flare-up I had progressively become a person unfamiliar to myself. By the time I went to see Angela I was really struggling - I could barely wake up even after 12+ hours of sleep, making coffee and showering was a chore, traveling (even just around NYC) was a huge effort for me, I rarely went out or wore anything besides athleisure, I had not worked out in months except walking. 

On the day of my first appointment with Angela, I remember feeling like I might not be able to get myself together to get uptown. But I made it, and I am so glad I did because I met Angela and everything changed. 

I saw her once a week for four months (2x a week during egg freezing).  Week by week she brought me back to life.  My energy levels changed, and my fatigue diminished along with lingering joint pain. It was after ~2 months of seeing Angela I decided I felt good enough to freeze my eggs. She supported me through the whole process and I truly believe Angela played a key role in getting my body ready in advance as well as during what was a very successful outcome (18 eggs retrieved / 17 viable to be frozen/ 37 years old). 

I can’t say enough good things about Angela as a healer. She is an expert at what she does and brings a mindset that healing is possible. She also has very impressive connectivity to and knowledge of Western medicine in my experience which is a differentiator for a holistic healer. I recommend her to any of my family and friends looking for help or healing related to fertility, autoimmune conditions, or any other medical issues. 

Unfortunately, I do not live close enough to NYC right now to see Angela regularly, but if I could I would go every week even though I am feeling better because I feel her impact on overall health and wellbeing is profound. Through Angela, I got back to myself, and for that, I am forever grateful to her and that our paths crossed.
