Orchid Chinese Medicine Acupuncture Llc

I’ve been seeing Rebecca at Orchid on and off for the past 9+ years. She is kind and compassionate and she really listens. She truly cares about helping you, whatever your issue. I’ve had acupuncture to successfully treat headaches and other chronic pain issues, and I was blown away at how well it worked for regulating my menstrual cycle. Acupuncture has also really helped me deal with stress and anxiety, and Rebecca was great about recommending tools and techniques I could use on my own. She has taught me a lot about how diet can really impact your health — she’s really helped me so much. I can’t recommend Rebecca and Orchid Chinese Medicine highly enough!

I’ll start off by admitting that until recently, I had never had a message before. Yes, we have a masseuse that comes by the office and does 15 minute hair massages, but that had been the extent of my massage experience. Since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve developed some back and shoulder tension as well as headaches and decided it was probably time I give this whole massage thing a real try. Side note: I am not a fan of people touching me (Most notably strangers) and especially as a pregnant person. Orchid made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. My masseuse, Jennifer, was very communicative. She asked me questions and provided recommendations and techniques I can do on my own. It helped my headaches almost immediately and I find a lot of value in my monthly visits.
They specialize in a variety of women focused issues from fertility through post-​partum and offer additional services (Of which I have yet to try) including acupuncture, reiki, herbal medicine, etc. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. It’s tucked away in a calm Bay View neighborhood, parking is never an issue and it just adds to the calming effects of your treatment. I would highly recommend Orchid for first timers as well as people with special needs or requirements.

I started going here about 7-​years ago after finding out I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Through the wonderful work of Rebecca, I was able to feel great with a better hormonal balance… and even MORE outstanding is that my husband and I welcomed our first child 10-​months ago! From being told by my western doctor that I would have a difficult time getting pregnant, to working with Rebecca’s eastern medicine and acupuncture I was able to receive a gift of a child more valuable than anything else. I highly recommend Orchid for all of your acupuncture needs… both my husband and I still see Rebecca for routine wellness appointments to help overall balance. She is also the first person I see whenever I get a cold, or the flu or a sinus infection… instant relief!

I had a prenatal massage with Jen an it was fantastic! I haven’t had zillions of massages, but I can absolutely say this was the best I’ve ever had. Jen was extremely professional and obviously experienced, I was so comfortable and the massage was thorough and left me feeling so wonderful. I highly recommend this experience to any pregnant lady!

Rebecca at Orchid Chinese Medicine was recommended to me by my midwife when my husband and I were having trouble conceiving. I didn’t know much about acupuncture but was willing to try anything that might help us. Within two months of starting acupuncture, and complementing our first round of IUI, we conceived our son (now a healthy 15 month old). And when we were ready to try for number two, I returned to acupuncture and we got pregnant on our own right away. I suppose we’ll never know exactly what did the trick, but I am standing by the acupuncture, and would recommend Orchid wholeheartedly! It is a warm and welcoming environment, not to mention relaxing and very comfortable. I really looked forward to my weekly sessions.

After having one failed IVF I wanted to make sure we got it right the second time. I’d heard that acupuncture had high success rates so I found Orchid Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. Rebecca was wonderful and so was the rest of the staff.
During my first IVF cycle I had a lot of symptoms and lethargy but during my second cycle with acupuncture, I had very few to no symptoms. This made the second cycle super easy and relaxing.
I started one month before beginning my second cycle and continued throughout the cycle as per the acupuncture protocol. After just one or two sessions with Rebecca I already felt more balanced and even a bit younger in my body. When I started IVF drugs and as they began to become more intense acupuncture kept my body feeling balanced. I hardly noticed the drugs at all which was a huge difference from the first cycle. During the first cycle I gained 15 lbs and this cycle I lost 10 lbs, thankfully.
Besides making the process easier on my body and mind it was great having someone to talk to who knew what I was going through. Rebecca asked detailed questions and had answers for my questions about what could be going on in my body. It was like having a good friend to talk to who had gone through what I was going through.
Once I had my embryo transfer and did the acupuncture protocol for that part of the procedure I was satisfied that I’d done all I could to become pregnant. While I was enduring the 2ww I had an appointment and it helped me to relax, detox and feel like I could do something more to make things happen. Then when I found out I was pregnant, I continued through my first trimester. At this stage acupuncture helped ensure that my uterus got the blood supply it needed to hold on to the embryos. I could actually feel the difference when she put a crown of needles at the top of my head.
Acupuncture and other forms of body work have another benefit besides the local and systematic benefits, they force us to lay still and relax for 30 – 45 minutes. Relaxation is so key to having a successful IVF cycle. Rebecca has music or meditations you can listen to. I usually listened to an IVF meditation for the stage of the cycle I was in.
I think overall the reason I produced 21 eggs the second cycle vs 6 eggs the first cycle, and am now pregnant with twins is because I chose to include acupuncture in my treatment.
