“Cassandra is one of the kindest and most caring people that I have ever met. Not only did she help me with my pregnancy journey, but she also helped me become a better and healthier person. She was always reassuring and concerned about my needs and hopes for treatment. I turned to acupuncture after four months of Femera and treatment by a fertility clinic. We looked at all aspects of why I had not been able to conceive yet, instead of just relying on a pill. We talked about and changed my diet. We talked about emotional issues and stressors and how to deal with them. I continued exercising and we began tracking my cycle each month along with regular acupuncture treatments. Within three months, I was pregnant! Unfortunately, I miscarried at eight weeks. But Cassandra helped me cope with the loss and assured me that I could get pregnant again since we beat that first hurdle. We waited one cycle and the next cycle I became pregnant again! I carried this baby to full term, going in to labor 7 days before my due date naturally with the help of acupuncture. I saw Cassandra throughout my pregnancy and truly believe that her guidance made it so successful. I had zero complications and delivered a very healthy baby girl last August.

“For more than a year, my regular doctor tried to fix my problem with infertility and irregular monthlies through medication—which made my problems worse. He referred me to a specialist, who proceeded to give me test after test each month with no real results. He started labeling me as “infertile with no known reason” and began bringing up the topic of IVF and more intense treatments, which may result in pregnancy but would do nothing for my painful and too-irregular bleeding. Fortunately, a friend recommended acupuncture to me, and after some research, it became obvious that Cassandra was one of the best in the business. It took me more than an hour to drive to her office, and despite the information she gave me about infertility, health, diet, and keeping track of symptoms (which my other doctors had never mentioned), I was still dubious that some herbs and slender needles would make a difference.
In about three months, she turned my health around in a way that a year and a half with my regular doctor and the specialist hadn’t been able to do. My menses were regular, and my basal body temperature showed that I was ovulating—something my specialist had worried I wouldn’t be able to do.
In six months, I was pregnant.
My only regret is that I didn’t go to Cassandra sooner. Since my experience, I’ve become very outspoken about the benefits of acupuncture, and many friends have said they’ve had similar results. Acupuncture has, without a doubt, changed my life for the better, and given me the family I’d been praying years for.”

“My husband and I have gone through a long struggle to have a baby. We were becoming desperate and very frustrated after attempting three in-vitro pregnancies and having several miscarriages. I decided to seek alternative medicines to ease the struggle and help us become parents.First I went to another acupuncturist at a different location, and I was disappointed that she did not bother to ask about any medical history. I was also not satisfied with the lack of professionalism to include call backs, office appearance and documentation.
So we decided to go to Greenville and try Cassandra. I was very impressed with the medical history documentation and the thorough initial consultation. I felt like Cassandra was really going to study our situation and provide for us her best possible services.
After our consultation, I soon realized that I was pregnant. Because of our history of miscarriages, I was extremely nervous and knew I still needed help to carry the pregnancy to term. Cassandra helped me in so many ways and I am convinced the ONLY reason I was able to carry to term was because of her treatments. She reassured me with positive affirmations and also helped me become balanced and cleared my mind of negative thoughts. I was able to carry my high-risk pregnancy with no complications, healthy and to full term.
Today we have a beautiful little boy. Thank you so much Cassandra. We appreciate you and grateful for your dedication and healing hands. I would recommend her services to anyone.”

“Wow! What a great experience! My husband and I have been trying to conceive for awhile now. We went for a visit to my OBGYN and he informed us that we would need fertility treatment to conceive. My cycle was every 40 days instead of the “normal” 28 days. We left the doctor feeling really discouraged knowing what was probably ahead of us. I do not like the idea of taking medicine that is not necessarily needed to be healthy so I very quickly started to search for other options. A few friends had mentioned Acupuncture to me saying that it helped them conceive. I found Cassandra via her website and made an appointment. The very first visit was wonderful! My husband and I both felt so much better after we left. We immediately had high hopes. It just felt right. Everything she said seemed to make sense and I had a new understanding of what was going on in my body. I continued to see Cassandra once a week for a month. After the 3rd visit I ovulated “on time”. We are now pregnant! We never imagined that it would happen so quickly!! This was just a wonderful experience for us. We are so thankful! We have already started to spread the word of our success story and we will continue to encourage our friends and family to take advantage of Chinese Medicine, through Cassandra, of course. God bless Cassandra for the wonderful work she does!”

“A beautiful, hopeful source of help for someone at any stage of the fertility journey.”

“After struggling for months with an irritated bladder after an infection and trips to see specialists that couldn’t figure out what was wrong, I decided to try a new approach. I found Cassandra doing a simple web search, and who knew that would lead me to an angel who would lead me to healing. Cassandra is very patient and willing to listen. She believed, as I did, that stress was at the root of my problem. She helped give me all the tools I needed– an exercise routine, a diet that would help soothe my painful bladder and even breathing exercises to help me relax in between sessions. My body immediately reacted to the sessions, and I felt my body healing slowly, but surely. After about 5 months, my pain had reduced greatly and I was able to slowly start reintroducing foods into my diet. I was eating normally and pain free after about 8 months. I continued maintenance sessions with Cassandra until I moved from Greenville. Cassandra was about to refer me to an acupuncturist in my new city who is continuing my maintenance. If you are considering acupuncture or looking for a new acupuncturist, I can’t recommend Cassandra more. She gave me the tools I needed to help put my body back on a healing path, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Thank you Cassandra for all the love and healing patience you showed me during a time when I needed it the most.
