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.”
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 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.”
IUI & IVF
“I met Angela Le through a dear friend and former colleague who had successfully conceived two beautiful children while working with her. This friend’s fervent belief in Angela’s power to help create the right environment – physically, mentally and emotionally – for a pregnancy to occur and come to a positive conclusion had led her to recommend many friends and colleagues to the practice. And the most astonishing thing was that every single one of these women had gotten pregnant.”
IUI & IVF
“By the time I met Angela, I had been trying to conceive for 3&1/2 years. I did not think acupuncture would get me pregnant but I did know I felt better after treatments. About 10 minutes into my first appointment, I knew Angela was different from any other acupuncturist I had seen. I am now in my 16th week and just so thankful to Angela for all the healing she was able to share with me, I would not be where I am today without her treatments.”
IUI & IVF
“Angela’s in-depth knowledge of Western medical approaches to infertility provided insight and perspective to me that was often lacking in interactions with physicians. She takes the time to treat the whole person and not just the "problem" area. I was very fortunate to get pregnant after only a few months of regular acupuncture sessions, some small dietary changes, 1 IUI and 1 IVF.”

IUI & IVF
“I thought I was coming in just for acupuncture (which I had never had before). I had no idea Angela would assess and treat my entire mental and physical health. Because Angela understands conventional medicine’s approach to fertility treatment, everything she did to me and everything she suggested I do at home worked with the IVF clinic’s drugs and procedures.”
Endometriosis
“After my first appointment with Angela I knew she was exactly what I was looking for. I felt like she was treating me as a whole being, not just focusing on my reproductive organs. We talked about my diet, my emotions, my relationships, and she wanted to help me work on all of it to help calm the endo and prepare my body for pregnancy. I know I finally got pregnant through IVF with my twins when my body and mind were ready for my babies. Thank you Angela for helping me get there!”
Endometriosis
“Angela helped me change my diet, my lifestyle, my way of thinking; she centered me, grounded me and helped me find inner peace. I was transformed. I am now the mother of two beautiful girls and couldn’t be happier or more fulfilled. Angela helped turn a long painful journey into one of the most wonderful, life-changing experiences of my life. I am forever grateful to her.”
Egg Freezing
“I can’t say enough good things about Angela as a healer. She is an expert at what she does. I came to her with autoimmune issues that no other doctor in NYC could help me with. Within two months I had newfound energy, diminished joint pain, and started a successful egg-freezing journey with her. I recommend Angela to all my friends with any medical issue as her expertise extends well beyond fertility.”
Unexplained Infertility
“When I first saw Angela I felt powerless about my fertility as I sought an alternative to Western medicine. She created a safe space to bring awareness to all of my fertility and health issues so they could be explored and ultimately resolved. I am now happily a 45 year old new mom who got pregnant naturally!”
Male Factor Infertility
“Angela always seems to be able to see the person in you that you want to unearth. She knew that the person was within reach, and her reflective guidance helped me and my wife connect with it. Much like a sculptor can see their subject within their material, Angela helped us to chisel away the unwanted parts of ourselves.”
Diminished Ovarian Reserve
“Before seeing Angela, I was feeling stressed with life generally and scared that I would never get pregnant due to a low ovarian reserve. Angela’s approach goes beyond traditional acupuncture and addresses the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit, offering a more comprehensive healing experience that I never thought existed.”
