Questions for Clara?

'I can’t say enough good things about Clara Cohen and the treatments I received from her. I began seeing Clara after my husband and I had been trying to conceive for over a year. When I first started seeing Clara I had somewhat irregular cycles, didn’t sleep well and had recurring headaches. Within a couple of months I was sleeping better, my cycles became regular and my headaches disappeared all together. My husband and I made the decision to go through the process of IVF and I had acupuncture treatments at the same time. I am very pleased to be able to say that I am the mother of a very beautiful 4 month old baby boy! We were successful with IVF on our first attempt and I believe that acupuncture helped us to achieve this. Clara is warm, caring and compassionate. Clara takes the time to listen to your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan. Clara always goes out of her way to fit you in when needed, she even treated me on her day off during my IVF cycle. Clara treated me throughout my pregnancy to ensure a healthy pregnancy and I will continue to see Clara in the future. Thank you Clara for everything you have done for us!' -Kristie 

'I was 33 and in perfect health, yet had unexplained infertility. After one miscarriage and 8 failed donor insemination attempts, I went to see Clara Cohen. 8 weeks later, I got pregnant on my 2nd cycle with acupuncture. I'm now looking forward to acupuncture treatments that will assist in preparing my body for delivery in 4 months. Thank you Clara!' -Brigitte

"My acupuncture experience with Clara is always amazing. I was able to quickly conceive my son after a early miscarriage and have a successful vbac with my daughter! In fact I went from very slow early labour to active labour while in a acupuncture session. 6.5 hours later I was holding my beautiful baby." -Analyn

'I came to Clara at the beginning of our trying to conceive journey.  I had difficulties getting pregnant with my first child due to PCOS and knew that we were going to face the same challenges with the second.  I saw Clara steadily for about three months and in that period of time my mental and physical states improved greatly! I have never known such a deep state of relaxation and peacefulness like that before in my life! I believe that it is because of that transformation that our first round of super-ovulation treatment was successful (we endured four rounds before to conceive our son) not to mention that I also came in for a session right after ovulation to ensure that our little bean would stick! I am now into my 8th week of pregnancy and everything is looking great! I give much credit to Clara for making this happen as she truly has an unbelievable gift and I cannot say enough good things about her!'- Chelsea

"Clara is a warm, funny, down to earth person. She is passionate about what she does. She is also a dog lover which goes a long way in my books . Her sessions are not "routine". She is genuinely interested in your health/life in general and treatment is determined from that at every visit I started seeing Clara when I was experiencing infertility due to endometriosis.  She was with me through the hard times (the first ivf failed) and the joyful times (2nd ivf- success, had a son Nov 2015)! Clara also came in on her days off so I could have acupuncture on our embryo transfer day (when using acupuncture with ivf there is a "time" protocol for treatment). We are thinking about trying ivf once more and will be using Clara! Highly recommended!!!!!!" -Catherine
