Diminished Ovarian Reserve

Samantha’s story:

“From the depths of despair to the heights of motherhood, my journey alongside Angela has been nothing short of miraculous. After enduring the heartache of unsuccessful rounds of IVF at 40 years old and a 9.5-week miscarriage at 41, I was left feeling lost, afraid, and hopeless. My doctor's recommendation to use donor eggs only deepened my sense of despair. I met Angela in this darkest hour.”

From the moment I met her, I knew I was in the presence of someone special. Unlike any other acupuncturist I had encountered, Angela's approach was holistic, embracing every aspect of my being with compassion and understanding.

Her unwavering confidence breathed new life into my fertility journey, filling me with calm assurance that I was on the right path.

For over two years, Angela walked by my side, gently guiding me along the path to healing. She helped with practical matters, from improving my diet to finding a compassionate clinic specializing in diminished ovarian reserve. More importantly, she encouraged me to face and embrace my pain and fear, bringing about a sense of peace, purpose, and love. Despite my fear and anxiety, Angela helped me navigate through, showing me the strength within myself. I used to view my fertility journey as something to get through as quickly as possible. Angela helped me understand that this in-between place, the journey itself, is to be savored and honored, as it is where actual growth takes place. She showed me that regardless of the outcome, I would be okay. Surrendering to the current of life is a lesson I will take with me forever.

And then, against all odds, at 43 years old, I found myself pregnant with twins—miraculously conceived with my own eggs.

Throughout the ups and downs of my pregnancy, Angela was there, my steadfast source of support and strength. I delivered two healthy, beautiful boys, a testament to the power of faith, perseverance, and love. But the profound impact of Angela's support in my life did not end there. Far beyond the realm of motherhood, Angela taught me the invaluable lesson of self-nurturing, guiding me on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

While my journey continues, I am forever changed by her. She is more than a healer; she is a guiding light in the darkness. To anyone in need of healing, support, or simply a shoulder to lean on, I cannot recommend Angela enough. She is a beacon of hope and love, and I am eternally grateful for her presence in my life.
