 | |  | “I went to Maria for acupuncture as a complementary therapy for IVF as I'd heard that acupuncture works well with the IVF process. I found Maria simply through the Internet as she was registered as being a Zita West affiliated acupuncturist and I was a bit unsure as I hadn't had a personal recommendation. However, from the first treatment I found Maria to be extremely professional, polite and kind. Her rooms are spotlessly clean and relaxing. I found the treatments a bit strange at first but then got more used to them and found them very relaxing - often falling asleep, like I know others have done previously.
I also got a treatment on the day of my embryo transfer, pre- and post-transfer itself. As it happened, it fell on a Sunday and Maria very graciously obliged me without a fuss, treating me out of hours and having to hang around and wait while I attended my fertility clinic. I was very grateful for that given that I had only been a patient for a short while.
Throughout my IVF process my results were better than expected and, whether that was luck or the acupuncture treatments or a combination of both, I'll never know, but I am now pregnant! I'm glad I went to Maria and would continue to use her if I had problems in any other area again.” Marjorie | |

| | | | | | "I went to Maria while I was preparing for IUI because a good friend of mine who had been going to Maria during an IVF cycle spoke very highly of her. I had already had two miscarriages before I first saw Maria. I felt I was in very safe hands because Maria has done a lot of training and has a lot of experience in the area. I found her very helpful and reassuring. To my delight I became pregnant! I continued to attend Maria every two weeks until I was 12 weeks pregnant and I now look forward to attending her as my pregnancy progresses. I would recommend her to anyone." Emer | | | | "Myself and my husband attended Maria for acupuncture because we had no option but to go down the IVF route, unfortunately, and knew that acupuncture would increase our chances of success. It was our first time so we wanted to do everything right. We both enjoyed the treatments with Maria and I found it really helped me to relax. She knows so much about the process and how it can be very stressful for both partners. It worked! We are now expecting our first baby!" Patricia | | | | "I attended Maria while I was pregnant. Initially, I had very bad nausea and found it difficult to eat anything. Acupuncture really helped. Not only did it relieve my nausea, but I got my appetite back. I continued to be treated by Maria on a monthly basis to ensure I had a healthy pregnancy. I would highly recommend attending Maria if you are pregnant." Mary | | | | "I had acupuncture with Maria because I was trying for a baby and I have endometriosis. I had been pregnant before but miscarried. I had booked to attend a fertility clinic. I found Maria very reassuring and she gave me lots of valuable information. While attending her, and before starting any medication from the fertility clinic, I discovered I was pregnant! I am now 7 months into my pregnancy!" Aisling | | | | "Having previously had a treatment with a different acupuncturist, I was sceptical because I hadn't felt anything during that treatment. However I found that I actually felt something during the treatment with Maria and more importantly, we got the end result we desired." Ian | | | | | | | | | |
