I was immediately taken with Jessica’s easygoing and friendly manner. From the first treatment, she was interested in getting to know me as a whole person. Her treatments were gentle—I left them feeling relaxed and energized, not wiped out as I had after visiting some other TCM practitioners—and she was always sensitive to how a given treatment felt while I was undergoing it. Jessica used a combination of acupuncture, heat lamp, moxibustion, and herbal formulas to help bring my body into balance; about six months after beginning treatment, I became pregnant naturally, without really even trying. Now I am the mom of a happy, healthy 14-month-old son. I attribute this success to Jessica’s knowledge as a practitioner and to her incredible positive attitude, which helped give me faith in my body’s own knowledge and capability.
