I can't say enough about how much Lori changed our lives for the better. I was 29 when I first started trying to get pregnant without success. I spent a year working with my OB and did the typical cycles of Clomid etc with no ovulation, much less pregnancy. My OB finally suggested I visit a specialist for IVF consult. I wasn't sure if that was the right path for us due to cost and the dramatic physical toll of IVF, so my OB suggested I try acupuncture first. A friend of a friend recommended Lori which made me comfortable giving it a shot (I'd never tried acupuncture or any other non-western medicine). What impressed me right away was the whole-body approach that Lori took. Her goal was to get my entire body ready to start and support a healthy pregnancy. The plan was to look at the entire functioning of my body and repair what was off, not just my ovaries. In addition to my weekly acupuncture session Lori recommended changes to my diet and lifestyle, and added various vitamins and supplements. The results were astounding- I was pregnant in 5 weeks and carried to full term a 9 pound 9 ounce, very healthy little girl. (I know these results were unusually fast, but I sure didn't complain!) We have two children now and can't imagine our lives any other way. Thank you Lori for making it possible! ~M.B.
I had reservations about going to acupuncture, but I'm so glad I went. I tried absolutely everything to get pregnant including an IUI and an IVF. Nothing was working for us after 7 years of trying. Finally, someone recommended acupuncture to us so we thought we would give this one last try (especially since I was turning 40). That's when we found Lori. Not only did every treatment make me feel great, we got pregnant after a very short time. I continued to go throughout my pregnancy and had a very healthy baby boy!! Lori is so easy to work with and we clicked immediately. She makes you feel totally comfortable!! It's just a great place to be! ~S.T.
I have been seeing Lori Wilson for fertility cycle issues for 5 months. I was convinced she could help me with my fertility cycle after she "cured" a terrible sore throat/ cold I had. She is the only acupuncturist (of 4) I have regularly seen whose treatments are showing improvements that are measureable- literally graphable- on my BBT charts. (My temperatures are becoming more appropriate. My follicular phase is evening out, my ovulation rise went from 5 days to 1, and now we are working on my luteal phase- which is staying higher and showing improvement but still has a ways to go...) My PMS grumpiness has been getting better steadily every month and was completely gone this month for the first time in many years (maybe ever). She is so kind to me, and makes me aware of how to treat myself better with nutrition and rest as well. I feel much better, much steadier emotionally, and it is easier for me to make decisions and to deal with difficult people and situations. I observe that her treatments, along with the herbs she has recommended, have made a worthwhile change in my life.

"After years of hearing about acupuncture, I finally decided to give it a try. I had seen several doctors about a painful and persistent bout with stomach aches that could neither be diagnosed or treated. After seeing Lori for a very short time, things really started to turn around. I am happy to say that I have been without one of those stomach aches in close to 2 years. During that time I also became pregnant, and Lori was and angel helping me through a difficult pregnancy and the delivery of a 9 pound plus baby. Not only was she exceedingly helpful physically, but also really helped me emotionally as well. I recommend Lori to anyone I know (whether they have thought of acupuncture or not). She is wonderful!" ~H.A.
I am a seventy three year old male with COPD ( chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ) As result, I had excessive amounts of mucus clogging my lungs. After several years using every medication recommended by my regular Doctor trying to rid myself of the constant severe coughing, trying to clear my bronchial tubs so I could breath, I was referred to Lori Wilson by a friend. I have had some contact with the magic of acupuncture over the years, so I agreed to try her services. What Western medicine had failed to achieve for years she has been able to accomplish in a relatively short period of time. A 75-85% improvement in my breathing, by decreasing the production of mucus and clearing my lungs. My lung capacity has increased for the third time in as many years. Not only is Ms. Wilson very proficient at her profession, she also has a warm and caring personality. I whole hardily recommend her to any one wanting physical and mental relief from chronic ailments. ~J.F.
My name is JoAnn and I can't say enough of how pleased I am at the results of my acupuncture treatments. Here is my story:
In 1980 I woke one morning with the right side of my face paralyzed. I could not close my right eye or feel food in my mouth on the right side. It was as if the whole right side of my face had dropped. My immediate thoughts was that I had a stroke. My husband took me to the hospital and I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. I was given steroids to prevent further damage and told in time I should get back to normal with little to no residual affects. Well, the "in time" ended up being over 6 months.
In May, I woke up with the same symptoms. Again, the doctors diagnosed Bells Palsy. Knowing I was in for a long haul of taping my eye closed at night and drinking through a straw to prevent from chewing up the side of my mouth not to mention the disfigurement of my face until my nerves healed themselves, I reluctantly started taking the prescribed steroids. By the way, another benefit of taking steroids is tremendous weight gain. On the 3rd day of steroids, my husband suggested I try acupuncture and that afternoon I had my 1st treatment. It was amazing. After just one treatment, I could tell a difference. My 2nd treatment showed a 50% improvement. I had a total of 6 treatments within a 3 week time frame and was back to my old self. What a difference 3 weeks versus over 6 months for the same results.
Thank you Lori for your care, ~ JoAnn
