Testimonials
“My husband and I were having difficulty conceiving and after more than one year of trying on our own, we were frustrated. Thus, we started assisted reproductive therapy through a reproductive endocrinologist in November of 2009. After 5 months of trying with clomid and then gonadatropins with IUI, one of the nurses recommended Resolve, The National Infertility Association. With the help of Resolve’s website, I decided to incorporate alternative infertility treatments. In May of 2010 I started seeing an acupuncturist and going to fertile grounding yoga classes.
After 6 months of seeing the acupuncturist and continuing to experience unsuccessful cycles, even after starting IVF, I felt it was time to try a different acupuncturist. I found Barb Fowlds through the Resolve website and thought her prices were very reasonable. After the first visit with Barb, I knew I had made the right decision. I instantly felt that Barb genuinely wanted to assist with my goal of pregnancy and was not just going through the motions.
Barb is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough in her work. She gave me advice based on her diagnosis and suggested necessary changes in my diet, and increased my number of appointments, which were effective in reaching my goal!
I’m excited to be in my 2nd trimester and feeling well thanks in part to Barb’s treatments. Acupuncture increased my chances for a positive IVF cycle and I noticed decreased side effects with the injections due to maintaining a weekly schedule (sometimes going 3 to 5 times per week) with Barb. Barb was instrumental in contributing to my success in becoming pregnant. I will continue acupuncture with Barb during my pregnancy and afterward, as I truly believe in its benefits for overall better health and wellness. Barb is a very skilled and talented acupuncturist and overall a wonderful person. Many, many thanks Barb! – Angela Dewey“
“I had been battling a yeast overgrowth for several years and had tried other remedies for it. I came to see Barb when I heard that she was joining the local Acupuncture Clinic in my area and specialized in Candida. I had suffered from itching for many years and had developed a large patch of eczema on my arm. My itching was so severe that at times I was scratching myself raw. During the years I had some medical emergencies and was given antibiotics which made my itching and eczema worse. After following Barb’s protocol and diet, the patch on my arm disappeared and all of my itching is gone. Thank you Barb!” – Betsy H.
“I suffered from eczema and sensitive skin for most of my life and had tried a multitude of therapies only to be repeatedly frustrated by minimal and short-lived results. Since going to Barb for treatment with acupuncture and herbs, my skin has almost completely cleared up, and my overall health is more balanced than it has ever been. Barb is a compassionate, caring healer whose passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine really comes through in her practice.” – M.R.
