Abundance Acupuncture Clinic

I came to Radiya in my 8th-9th month of pregnancy with my baby in a breach position. I was terrified. I had planned for a home birth and the doctors told me that my only option was to have a scheduled cecarean delivery. They informed me that there was nothing I could do on my own except to try a Version, which can be extremely stressful on the baby and can result in an emergency cecarean anyway!

My midwife referred me to Radiya. Thank God!

Radiya did a little acupuncture and a Moxibustion treatment on me. Almost immediately after she'd started the acupuncture my baby began moving around in a very happy way. I could tell that he/she was enjoying it. Radiya had asked me a little while into it to tell her when the baby starts reacting and I informed her that it had been moving from the second she started! She then did the Moxi treatment of which the baby seemed to settle down a little but still remained active. My entire experience w/Radiya I felt at ease and completely relaxed, to say the least. There were times when just listening to the soothing way she spoke gave me chills. I wanted this relaxing feeling to last!

She sent me home with the rest of the Moxi stick to continue the treatments at home with my husband. She also gave me advice for a breathing technique, of which I practiced daily and nightly and still do. It helped tremendously because I'd been getting a lot of anxiety in those last few weeks.

Well, THAT night of my visit w/Radiya the baby flipped; I am convinced of it. I was 35/36 weeks so everyone had told me that when it happened i'd feel it and I did!

I still continued w/the Moxi treatments as per Radiya's advice; (it's purpose was to focus the energy down so even when the baby flipped it would only help to encourage he/she to stay down).

I was right, because a few days later I had an ultrasound that showed me the baby had moved to the awesome headdown position! I cried! LOL

In conclusion, I am absolutely conviced that my visit with Radiya at Abundance Acupuncture helped me to become and stay more in tune and connected w/my baby. In order for she and I to ensure her safe travels into her new world.

I look forward to another visit with Radiya in the (hopefully near) future....just because.

Sincerely,
