Julie – Natural Conception with Acupuncture & Mayan Massage

“After trying to get pregnant for three years I connected with the women at Orchid Chinese Medicine. My husband and I had been to a couple different doctors, done multiple rounds of tests and were ready to try something different. I started doing weekly acupuncture sessions with Rebecca and Lisa and monthly Mayan massage sessions with Jennifer. I really liked the personal care that they offered, and their knowledge of women's health from both an eastern and western medicine perspective was phenomenal. Their guidance, knowledge, support and expertise put me at ease, and I looked forward to my treatments with them for not just the health benefits of acupuncture but also the rejuvenation that I felt afterwards. My husband and I became pregnant after six months, and I enjoyed my experience so much that I continued acupuncture treatments and Mayan massage throughout my entire pregnancy. The team at OCM is incredible and I am so thankful for all they did to help me and my family of three on our pregnancy journey! We've since recommended OCM to friends who had similar challenges with getting pregnant and they are now expecting babies of their own!”

Erin – Successful IVF Treatment

“I have been coming to Orchid Chinese Medicine and was a patient of Rebecca and Lisa a few months prior to starting IUI and IVF treatments. After 3 IUIs, 2 IVFs and 1 FET, I am currently 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant! I also did one round of Mayan Abdominal Therapy right before my FET. I believe that a combination of acupuncture and Mayan Abdominal Therapy helped complement the success of my IVF treatment. I highly recommend Orchid Chinese Medicine!”

Stephanie – Braxton Hicks and Pregnancy Support

“I went to see Lisa at Orchid when I was around 25 weeks pregnant. I was having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and I was concerned about pre-term labor. Lisa was awesome and she was so knowledgeable not only about acupuncture but also Chinese medicine and nutrition. My son stayed put until 38 weeks. I also got some lovely prenatal and Maya abdominal massages before my little one made his appearance. I love Orchid and I will certainly be back should the need arise!”

Angela – Cycle Regulation and Pregnancy Support

“My husband and I struggled to conceive for two years before finding Orchid. From the very beginning, every session with the Orchid team was so warm, welcoming and understanding.

I began to receive weekly treatments of acupuncture and eventually added monthly Mayan abdominal therapy to my regime. Throughout the process, I found notable differences in my cycle, stress levels and what was probably even more important was that I had partner with Orchid to process the ups and downs of conception.

After 6 months of treatment, we had successfully regulated my cycle and my husband and I were able to conceive our first child. I continued to receive acupuncture weekly through my first trimester to mitigate all of those nasty early pregnancy symptoms. Then, I switched to a monthly visit and these became my favorite prenatal appointments.

The tenderness of the staff and the attention to every detail made me feel so supported and loved throughout the whole journey. I would 100% recommend Orchid to anyone trying to start their family as well as anyone looking for acupuncture in general. They are absolutely amazing and I know we would never have been able to realize our dreams without them.”

Megan – Acupuncture to Avoid Medical Induction

“I came to see Lisa for acupuncture at Orchid because I was "overdue" with my first baby and looking for alternative ways to naturally induce labor. Lisa was fantastic. It is clear she loves what she does, is great at it and genuinely cares for her clients. She fit me into her schedule for 2 productive acupuncture sessions. She spent time talking with, and listening to me and offered various additional suggestions for me to try to help induce labor in conjunction with the sessions. The best part is, I went into labor 12 hours after the acupuncture session and am confident my visits with Lisa at Orchid played a role in that.”

Morgan – Rewarding VBAC with Acupuncture & Acupressure

“I've been meaning to reach out to you to thank you! I don't know if it was the acupressure and/or acupuncture that helped but this little girl came out in record time on her due date- just as grandma arrived! My mom was able to pick up the boys from daycare without a hitch at 6 and the baby came at 6:57pm, so no waiting around! I couldn't have asked for an easier or better timed delivery!

We even played the lotto later because the odds were so incredible! I didn't make any money but we still think she is a lucky charm.

The experience of feeling my body want to push involuntarily was surreal after my previous experience in labor, rewarding, and once the back labor stopped, the contractions weren't terribly painful. I still think about how amazing it felt to work together with my mind, body, and her to get her out and into this world. I'm so happy to have experienced a vbac.

Thanks for all of your help in making this happen. You have been an amazing resource in both of my pregnancies, as your skills have really helped me achieve my goals.”

Quinn – Acupuncture and Herbs for Rare Skin Condition

As far as testimonials go, I will go further than just comments. I wrote an article about you (along with our chiropractor) treating Quinn for pityriaris rubra pilaris for Chicago Health. You are, of course, the acupuncturist I refer to in the story. Since it was for a Chicago audience, I couldn’t mention my Milwaukee providers by name, but I think you (Rebecca) should definitely have this on your website.

Quinn is doing well, and we are still (I have to buy some more right now) giving him cod liver oil, and I really, really believe his recovery is due to you, to his chiropractor, and to the creams and soaking. I have read more up on the disease - and so many people who have PRP end up with a chronic condition that is painful. Additionally, the Emily’s Skin Soother creams helped him, too, and, of course, I was introduced to them by you.

I really wish people who suffered from chronic conditions addressed them not just traditionally, as that may not always work.

Luna – More Energy & Improved Digestion with Chinese Medicine

“I chose Orchid because each staff member is highly educated with extensive credentials.

The atmosphere at Orchid is warm and welcoming with private rooms, heated tables and relaxing music. I have been treated by Rebecca for a couple of months. She is thorough, thoughtful and professional. She is easy to talk to and she is a great listener. My appointments never feel rushed.

In addition to performing acupuncture, Rebecca has provided me with invaluable knowledge on nutrition. After my 3rd treatment, I had a noticeable increase in energy, improvement in digestion and elimination of hot flashes. I always leave the office feeling better than when I walked in and the results are lasting longer after each visit. I consider Rebecca to be a great partner in helping me to achieve my health goals.”

Maggie – Conceiving with Acupuncture after a Miscarriage

“I began going to see Lisa for acupuncture treatments last Fall when my husband and I were trying to get pregnant. At the beginning of 2017, we had a miscarriage and then were trying for months to get pregnant again. My doctor eventually recommended acupuncture to support the process. Lisa was super knowledgeable about fertility and after our first session I had felt I had already learned so much about fertility and how to better support our journey in trying to conceive.
My sessions with Lisa were the highlight of my week. The acupuncture not only supported my needs for fertility, but it also made a dramatic difference in my anxiety and overall health as well! Lisa is so compassionate and really seeks to support you well in your individual journey and health needs. Two months into our sessions I became pregnant! I continued to see Lisa through my first trimester and I am so glad I did! The acupuncture helped SO much with nausea, anxiety, and energy. I am am now 27 weeks along and doing wonderful. I am so thankful we had Lisa throughout this journey, I cannot more highly recommend!!”

Jennifer – Better Digestion with Mayan Abdominal Massage

“Jennifer is a wonderful and gifted practitioner. I completed 4 sessions of Mayan Abdominal Massage and, in addition to some herbal remedies, I am feeling 90% improved with my gut health issues. Thank you, Jennifer!”

Megan – Twin Pregnancy with Acupuncture and Reciprocal IVF

“My wife and I tried to get pregnant for 5 years before we stumbled upon Orchid and decided to give acupuncture a shot. We ended up doing reciprocal IVF, and both working with Rebecca. She was amazing. She tailored our treatments to always compliment where we were in the process at the clinic and provided us much needed support and encouragement along the way. She went above and beyond, even opening up the building so I could get a treatment both before and after the embryo transfer. I ended up getting pregnant with twins on our first try of reciprocal IVF and there is no doubt in my mind that going to Orchid and receiving the support from their team was the key to our success. I continued treatments throughout my pregnancy and after delivery. I had been so focused on getting pregnant, but having the support of Orchid after our twins were born was a much needed blessing. We can't say enough about Rebecca and the rest of the staff at Orchid.”

Rachel - Stress Relief and Relaxation through Reiki

“I had two sessions of Reiki with Theresa last year. Theresa helped decrease stress prior to a very large test. I had two sessions with Theresa and each session left me feeling calm, relaxed and lighter. Theresa is so kind and caring. Her way of interacting with me was as though she was a long time friend. She invited questions and clarification about myself and how my life was going at that time. Her ability to learn about me helped me feel comfortable with the treatment. Her treatment was so relaxing that I was able to fall asleep during the treatment. I woke up to her calm voice letting me know the treatment was complete. Theresa is an incredible Reiki practitioner.”

K.C. - Painless Periods with Mayan Abdominal Massage

“I think about Jennifer every month. Every time I get my period, I am so grateful that it's not painful anymore. Doctors told me there was nothing I could do, and I thought I had to just deal with the pain. Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Therapy have proven them wrong!”

Angela – Pre-Birth and Postpartum Acupuncture for Both Pregnancies

“I found Orchid when my baby wouldn't come out! Rebecca was so helpful, thoughtful and reassuring. She took her time to understand my 41 week pregnant self - and my first acupuncture experience was so very peaceful - in a very stressed out time.

Since then, Rebecca has helped me through post-partum depression, maintaining milk supply, general health maintenance and pregnancy #2 (which included gestational diabetes and a planned c-section).

Orchid is a very, very special place. I highly recommend Rebecca and Lisa to help you reach you reach your health goals in a safe and supportive environment.”
