Natural Conception
RaQuel’s story:
I sought out Angela because I was looking for an alternative to all the Western medical chaos I was experiencing while searching for answers. I was tired of feeling lost in a maze of theories, tired of paying various “experts” to tell me my situation was unexplained, and tired of being led through cycles of medications, painful tests, and mountains of supplements only to feel more lost than ever.
I felt there had to be another way. I needed a practitioner who could help me understand my own body and trust my intuition again.
When I started working with Angela, I wasn’t expecting the journey that followed. I had not fully recognized the medical trauma I had experienced or how much pain and stress I was carrying in my body. I had become disconnected from my own intuition and felt powerless when it came to my fertility.
Angela created a safe space to bring these experiences to light and begin working through them.
Our work went far beyond what I had understood acupuncture to be. Her observations were incredibly perceptive and gave me new perspective and awareness. She introduced breathing practices that helped me work with stress and emotion in my body, and she asked questions that brought attention to things I had dismissed or never considered important.
My previous experiences with acupuncture had sometimes been painful and distressing. With Angela, it was completely different. She went slowly, explained what she was doing, took her time, and allowed me to speak up whenever something felt uncomfortable or like too much. I never felt judged or pressured. I felt safe.
Angela also introduced me to other practitioners who complemented the work we were doing and allowed my care to expand when needed. My husband and I were always treated with respect and included in decisions. I never felt that someone else was telling me what I had to do with my body.
One of the most important things Angela gave me was the confidence to trust myself again. I learned to bring my own knowledge of my body and my intuition into medical appointments, treatments, and procedures rather than leaving that part of myself at the door.
I still work with Angela today, although our work together has evolved tremendously. I first came to her while struggling with infertility. Today, I am the mother of a healthy baby girl whom I delivered naturally at 45.
