Success Stories Women

Dr. Ryan Funk offers a knowledgeable, unique and heartfelt approach to his acupuncture practice.
After years of visiting many doctors, Dr. Funk single handedly helped me more than any other practitioner in any other field (and not just in getting me over a fear of needles!).

After two and half years of trying to get pregnant, Melani Waterman and her husband Brett had twins — Lukas and Charlotte — on Oct. 6.

Quite simply, Dr. Ryan Funk pulled me out of a sea of despair.  In March, 2010, I was 12 weeks into the first trimester.  My world was full of hopes and dreams.  After a routine ultrasound, we were told there was no heartbeat. I couldn't believe this was happening again.  This was my third miscarriage.  I felt like I was caught in an emotional storm.  I had to deal with these feelings, carry on with daily life, work, while trying to figure out what to do next.  I knew in my heart that I wanted to try again but I was afraid that something would go wrong again.  

Great birth experience - acupuncture for pregnancy and birth support

Restoring fertility yoga DVD pregnancy success
 
Hello, I've been using your yoga for fertility DVD  for 2 months and just got my first ever positive pregnancy test! Yay!  I really liked the short duration of 30-40 minutes, it allowed me to stay with the program and more easily find time to actually do it.  Thanks!  Jennifer :-)

Fertility and trying to conceive A lot of questions and a lot of support

I was thoroughly enjoying working with Emilie Salomons for over 8 months on our fertility journey when she invited me to partake in the studio acupuncture treatments. She clearly outlined the benefits I could possibly gain from having consecutive acupuncture treatments as they do in China, and I felt that I had nothing to lose to give it a try. 

“It is very hard for me to put into words how I feel about the Acubalance Studio because I am so moved by what a gift it is. To be able to get treatment five days a week for the price of two is such a blessing.

Hi Raeghan,
Thank you so much for the time you spent with me first thing in Friday morning.  We delivered a healthy baby girl last night (Eleanor) at home in the most perfect delivery. We went from our 5-1-1 to delivery in 1 hour.  (We were actually lucky because our midwife got here with 6 minutes to spare.)  She was perfectly positioned and I believe that the acupuncture that you did was one of the main contributors.  The acupressure booklet was amazing!  It really did offer relief during the contractions...and now my husband Mark is working on your food suggestions.
