"Jeanne Atkin has treated me for so many ailments--from the purely mundane (flu, cold, arthritis) to an incredibly complicated post-partum condition. Let me share with you how she helped me during and after pregnancy. Jeanne first treated me in the last four weeks of my pregnancy to tone and facilitate an optimal environment for the baby. After giving birth to my son, I was left to heal a 4th degree tear as well as partial prolapse, which was never even properly diagnosed by doctors. Because Jeanne is a certified herbalist, she prescribed royal jade cream for my stitches. With this cream, not only did I never get an infection but when the doctors looked at the wound after four weeks, they said that they had never seen anybody heal so quickly. My stitches, they said, looked "beautiful." She also did acupunture to help with the nursing and advised me with diet and nutrition that increased my milk supply. The accupuncture also helped me feel better in general, stronger, less tired, and clear of mind. Once I stopped breastfeeding I began treatment with her for partial prolapse of the pelvic floor. With herbs and acupuncture I saw a concrete, noticeable improvement. It saved me from having to have surgery. Jeanne has a calm, nurturing and soothing personality which is so important, in my opinion, for being an acupuncturist. I have always looked forward to my appointments! She spends as much time as needed, never rushing you or making you feel like your time is up. And she is very holistic--she asks about every aspect of your life and believes that it is all relevant to your physical health. I felt so well taken care of with Jeanne".
