Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F

PCOS

“When I first went to Angela, I was very frustrated with our fertility problems and scared about embarking on IVF – not in a great place emotionally. Our frozen cycle was successful, and I am expecting my second baby in 6 weeks. Angela was incredible throughout both of my pregnancies, especially in the first trimesters when I had constant questions.”

PCOS

“Completely unsure what to do next, a friend recommended a visit to Angela Le. I knew the first time I met her that I had found the right path. My second month under Angela’s guidance, I menstruated on my own for the first time in 16 months (and after 10 years on birth control). During month 4, I discovered I was pregnant. It was unbelievable news. My body truly needed to be ready on its own time.”

PCOS

“Angela taught me how every life experience adds to personal fulfillment. Welcoming the good, the bad, the happy and the sad moments has created balance in my life. She has taught me the importance of understanding and respecting my body. This knowledge has given all my personal and professional relationships a foundation to grow stronger. Life has become more effortless as I become more knowledgeable and confident in myself.”

PCOS

“After a year with Angela I was in a much different place and decided to take a break from fertility treatments to see how my body would behave with a more balanced lifestyle and acupuncture alone. Within a month I began ovulating on my own, and the second month I conceived spontaneously and am now 30 weeks into a healthy pregnancy! I continue my weekly appointments with Angela.”

PCOS

“Angela changed my life. She helped me with so many things that I can’t name them all. Thanks to her love and hard work, I can thank her for my beautiful twin boys. I am so lucky to have met Angela. She is one of the greatest gifts I have received in my life.”

Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F

PCOS

“When I first came to Angela’s office, I was a complete mess. I had been trying to get pregnant for a year and had gone through several Clomid and IUI cycles, all of which were unsuccessful. Over the next 6 months, Me & Angela addressed my relationship with myself, which proved to be the most crucial piece of my fertility struggle and essentially all the struggles in my life.”

Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F

PCOS

“Soon after working with Angela a transformation began to take place inside me. I started to recognize things about myself that I had never acknowledged before: my obsession with control and perfectionism, my relationships with family, friends (and food!) and the impact those things had on my physical body.”

Natural Conception

“I originally came to Angela because I was not ready to try advanced reproductive technology. Physically, the acupuncture, and herbs balanced my system and put my body in an optimal place for conception. However, what I believe to be the most valuable part of my work with her is the emotional stability she helped me attain. I worked with Angela for several months, and I can still remember the day, and the freedom I felt when I realized with certainty that I would be okay if I did not get pregnant.”

Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F

Natural Conception

“Angela allowed me to open myself up to the journey. She provided me with meditation tools and emotional support throughout the process. These intangible elements were at least as important as the acupuncture treatments themselves. During my next cycle, I became pregnant. I continued the acupuncture throughout my pregnancy. Angela counseled me on my birthing options and helped to prepare me for birth and motherhood. I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl.”

Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F

Natural Conception

“Angela was the first person to listen to me with empathy, respect, objectivity, and who had an immense knowledge and desire to help. Angela confirmed an idea that I had in mind—that becoming pregnant should be part of a process that involved my whole being, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and that if I could be good to myself by giving myself the time and conditions to heal and become stronger, I would be better prepared for whatever was to come. Despite an 8 ½ year journey with 3 failed IVF attempts, after only four months of working with Angela I was able to get pregnant naturally.”

Natural Conception

“At the age of 43 I got pregnant with Angela naturally with the help of acupuncture and without use of IVF as I previously thought was necessary. I have learned so much through his process and feel blessed to have been able to get to know Angela. I feel strong and ready in every way to welcome a child into my life, thanks in large part to Angela.”

Preconception

“In a city like New York, with its masculine nature and concrete harsh pavements, exploring our femininity is not easily done. There are few experiences that help connect mind and body. Acupuncture is one such rarely found experience. Acupuncture has taught me to be curious about my body. I've learned that fertility is both fragile and veracious.”

Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F

Natural Conception

“Angela not only helped me bring a beautiful baby girl into this world, but truly helped me transform all aspects of my life. Over the course of a year, Angela served as a guiding light, providing me with a totally new framework to address many long-term, stressful issues that were not even fertility related. With her help I permanently transformed the way I eat and the way I handle stress and anxiety in my life.”

High FSH

“While fertility issues are what originally brought me to Angela, I feel that our treatments encompassed all areas of my life and as a result I benefited in more ways than I could have expected from her treatments. She is an incredibly gifted technician and her deep understanding of both Eastern and Western approaches to fertility issues and treatments is both comforting and reassuring.”

Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F Phase 1 - The Foundation Team F

High FSH

“I went from having a less than 1 percent chance of conceiving without medical intervention (according to a reproductive endocrinologist) to becoming pregnant. I changed more deeply as well. She helped me tap into my inner power as a woman—to not fear that power, but embrace it—and at the same time realize the peace that comes with letting go. These are life-lessons and skills that will serve me well as I approach birth and motherhood.”

High FSH

“I doubted if inserting any more needles would help my cause. Yet, Angela was more than “needles.” She walked me through my journey. The more she engaged me in a dialogue, the more I started to regain my perspective, my priorities, and ultimately, myself. ”

High FSH

“I was almost 37 when I got married and started trying to get pregnant. We tried for a year before my gynecologist tested my hormone levels and discovered that my FSH was 22. She told me my eggs were old and that I needed to see a fertility specialist who would likely recommend IVF and possibly donor eggs. Instead, I went to see Angela Le. I changed my diet, received weekly treatment with her, and 3 months later I was pregnant.”

High FSH

“Angela was an incredible support for me. She got both my head and body prepared for my continued attempts at IVF. After 4 rounds of IVF, my wish came true. I got pregnant and, at 42, gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl.”
