Successful in getting pregnant
As a typical anxious 37 year old hoping to conceive, I visited Jo to help ensure that my health was the best it could be to help make it happen. Along with reading lots of material on detoxing for the run-up to the preconception period I visited Jo regularly over a period of a few months. I had convinced her and myself that it might take a while and was absolutely amazed and overjoyed when I became pregnant after my partner and I had only been trying for 3 months. I now have a beautiful and very relaxed little Aquarian boy named Marlow who has slept through most nights since week 5 and smiles the rest of the time. Jo's Acupuncture treatments and general wisdom were invaluable - she also helped me to learn acupressure points for inducing labour and for using during labour itself.

IVF and Pregnancy
I went to Jo for help after 8 rounds of IUI, all of which had been unsuccessful. The consultants at the fertility unit had indicated that my husband and I had unexplained infertility and that we should move on to IVF. I was anxious about IVF as I had heard that it was a very physically and emotionally demanding process. I was worried about how I would cope if IVF was repeatedly unsuccessful and was concerned about the physical implications of the treatment. I also wanted to make sure I was in the best shape possible to concieve.

I found Jo very helpful and understanding, particularly putting my mind at ease about the process of IVF and reducing some of the anxiety and panic about whether it would be successful. She gave me some herbs which sorted out my periods and generally calmed me down. This meant that I was able to embark on IVF feeling positive and confident that I was prepared and that whatever the outcome, I had made the best possible effort.

I was thrilled to find out that I was pregnant after the first course of IVF and found it very helpful to continue to see Jo throughout my pregnancy. Again, she did a brilliant job of keeping me calm and treating me firstly to avoid miscarriage and then to deal with the aches and pains of pregnancy, particularly sciatica. At the end of the pregnancy, Jo started treating me to prepare me for labour - I went into labour within a day of her treatment and had a beautiful and healthy baby girl 2 days later.

I am very grateful to Jo for her help and support through the stress of IVF and I am convinced that the acupuncture made a huge difference in the outcome of the IVF and then in having a trouble free pregnancy. I will definitely go back to her when I start trying to conceive again.

Irregular periods, PCOS
Before I started to see Jo, I had many problems with my periods. After I stopped the pill I had suffered irregular periods, PMS, hair loss, mood swings and many other problems. I never knew when my period was coming - sometimes disappearing for 2-3 months, sometimes having mid-cycle spotting for a few days.

A doctor diagnosed me with polycystic ovarian syndrome and suggested to go back on the pill. I decided to try an alternative method to help me with my problems. My mother recommended acupuncture as she had success with it in the past for her back problems. Jo used effective treatments (acupuncture and herbal medicine) for my menstrual symptoms as well as my general well - being. After few treatments all the symptoms had eased and I was getting my period regularly. It was an absolute thrill to have normal period once and after a few treatments I was like a new woman with no mood swings and less PMS.

Jo is a very kind, helpful and highly experienced practitioner. I always felt comfortable and cared for in her presence. I never had any pain during treatments and after the session I always felt relaxed, calm and so energetic. We recently moved to Vienna for a temporary term but as soon as we are back to London I will definitely visit Jo again. I have recommended Jo to my friends already, and I would recommend her to anybody who is considering acupuncture. Acupuncture and her expertise helped me a lot!

Suffering from acne
In just six months of treatment with Jo, I managed to get rid of persistent acne that had been with me at varying levels since I was fifteen. The course consisted of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs and dietary advice.

Over the years I had undergone courses of Roaccutane and antibiotics to manage the condition. At the start of my treatments with Jo, I was on a course of Minocin antibiotics that I was able to stop completely after 4 months. This was a highly significant event - coming off antibiotics and having a clear complexion after so many years of worrying about my skin. If only I'd done this earlier, instead of dealing with GPs whose only answer was to prescribe me more pills! Hopefully, Western medicine will come to fully appreciate the use of Chinese Medicine in health care.

Recurrent miscarriages
After suffering from 3 early miscarriages at the age of 35 I was emotionally drained and rather concerned about our ability to start a family. I also felt totally out of control whilst I was waiting for the barrage of tests to begin on the NHS. Jo had successfully treated a friend of mine with conception difficulties so I thought I'd give it a go.

After a full holistic assessment she identified issues with my monthly cycle, digestion, sleep and energy levels. She advised we stop trying to conceive for 2 cycles whilst she regulated my system with chinese herbs, acupuncture and nutritional advice. From day one I felt an instant change in my energy levels, sleep pattern, digestion and most noticeably my periods which were remarkably less painful and less symptomatic in general. I also felt a sense of calm that I realised I hadn't felt for some time. After 2 full cycles she gave us the go ahead to try again and this time we appear to have been instantly successful and here I am 6 months later and 6 months pregnant.

Treatment with Jo has been a very calming and holistic experience. She has a very gentle, empathetic approach and the instant changes really did make me feel that my money was being well spent. There appeared to be no standard treatment as her treatments are tailored to your individual problem at that time, and from this a plan is formulated. I have suggested a number of my friends see Jo for a variety of problems.

Once you've had one miscarriage there is always an element of worry that you will reach full term and with this in mind I do feel somewhat anxious about writing a testimonial before my baby is in my arms. I do however, feel positive that my pregnancy has got this far and I'm hopeful that our success will continue to term.
SP, Physiotherapist .N6

When I first consulted Jo I had just had my second miscarriage in 9 months, both when I was 5 weeks pregnant.  The first one I had managed to cope with as "one of those things", perhaps also because I had fallen pregnant in the first month of trying, but the second one knocked me sideways, particularly after having spent 6 months trying, 3 of those on clomid.

My GP had no answer and despite being very distressed and down about the whole thing I was told that there was probably nothing wrong and I should just try again, tests being available after 3 miscarriages!  I didn't feel that this was good enough and so decided to take things into my own hands.  As well as seeking advice and tests privately from the Lister hospital many people I spoke to about miscarriages advised me very strongly that Chinese medicine and acupuncture had worked wonders for them and friends of their's.

That's when I found Jo!  At first I was a little apprehensive about acupuncture - I don't like needles or pain very much!  Jo however is obviously incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and she made the process very easy for me.  I also took the Chinese herbs that Jo mixes specially for each patient and although they didn't taste that great to me, combined with the acupuncture they worked wonders.  I say this because on my second month of treatment with Jo I fell pregnant again and am now 16 and a half weeks pregnant and everything seems to be going well (fingers crossed!).  My message to anyone that has suffered miscarriage (recurrent or otherwise) is that acupuncture really helps.  As far as I am concerned it got my system back on track and able to cope with another pregnancy far more quickly than conventional medicine or mother nature would have done.  That is definitely worth putting up with a few needles and Chinese herbs!

Lack of energy
I had been getting illnessess accompanied with fatigue since going to India a couple of years ago. After another longhaul trip I ended up suffering continuously from a lack of energy, muscle weakness and lightheadedness. All the blood tests my GP sent me for showed negative. After 6 weeks I started seeing Jo who treated me with a combination of accupuncture and Chinese medicine.

She was sure she could help me and worked on the assumption that I had a pathogen which I'd never managed to shake off from India. She explained how the herbs would mainly boost my immune system to fight it off completely. As a result my energy slowly came back, my slumps got fewer and further between and now I'm back to regular exercising and feeling strong and fit. Jo gave me treatment and hope where conventional medicine could find nothing wrong with me.

Chronic Cystitis
For a long time I suffered from severe Cystitis and was constantly visiting my GP who would prescribe antibiotics. I found that although they worked short term the cystitis would come back within a month. I was desperate to sort this out as I was drained of energy; feeling very fed up and also had back pain.

Whilst reading the local paper I came across an article that talked about Jo George and her treatments for IVF, and became very interested in her work. I decided to try Jo. She is brilliant and recommended acupuncture, Chinese herbs and dietary changes. Within a couple of months my cystitis had completely gone; I now feel wonderful with no pain, more energy, and overall so much happier.

Jo's sensible and sensitive words enabled me also to give up smoking as well. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone who has any ailments for an alternative approach.

Pregnancy
I had just experienced an eptopic pregnancy and a friend highly recommended that I go and see Jo for acupuncture and Chinese herbs. We met at Jo's clinic in the Autumn of 2005 and I immediately felt I was in a warm and supportive environment.

I had had a series of fertility difficulties including a diagnosis of blocked fallopian tubes and was facing the prospect of IVF. It felt a relief to be able to share my experiences with Jo and to be listened to.

She helped to dispel any notions of my body having failed, I was particularly moved when Jo picked up the x ray of my blocked tubes and said how beautiful they were. Having been so used to medical analysis and focus on the problem, I felt a wave of compassion and self acceptance. This self acceptance has proven to be a very important part of my journey.

I was very reassured by Jo's relaxed and open attitude to assisted conception. Having read and heard so many 'horror' stories in the media, Jo had a wonderful way of approaching IVF without anxiety or judgement. It was so helpful in releasing the fear and preparing for the treatment.

I saw Jo on a weekly basis until my IVF cycle in July 2006. I had acupuncture which I found relaxing and calming and as well as the specific focus on my fertility, helpful for my health generally. Jo also prescribed Chinese herbs which I drank twice a day, even learning to enjoy!

My sessions with Jo became an integral and extremely valued part of my process. As well as the treatment, I found being able to talk about my feelings and experience in a non 'hospitalised' environment so important and hugely supportive.

As the IVF approached, Jo also saw my husband and he had acupuncture and herbs to help maximise the quality of his sperm. As well as the benefits of Jo's treatment I also found this very helpful in feeling accompanied by my husband.

We did our IVF cycle with minimal discomfort and stress. We had a successful fertilisation rate and well developed embryos. Not to mention great sperm!

In September we discovered that I was pregnant with identical twins. I saw Jo all through my pregnancy which right up until the end was very healthy. Very heartbreakingly due to a very rare identical twin condition our baby Liv didn't make it, but in spring 2007 Anouk was born. She is now a beautiful 5 month old baby and a wonderful joy.

The last couple of years have been challenging and at times very difficult, but my relationship with Jo and her treatment has been one of the most helpful and grounding things I have done and I have no doubt that she has played an important role in the successful arrival of Anouk.

Human Papilloma Virus
I first went to Jo after having received two abnormal results from my cervical smear tests. The results were showing the presence of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and the feedback from the doctor was that I would just have to wait and see if it cleared by itself. The results were causing me great concern, as I knew that if the test kept coming back abnormal, more invasive investigation and treatment would be required.

I went to visit Jo after reading about her methods on her website. To tell you the truth, I was quite nervous and anxious, and did not really know what to expect. Jo put me at ease straight away. Her calmness and evident knowledge gave me great confidence that she could help me. Little did I know that she would also help me in other areas of my life! I visited Jo once a week for acupuncture, and commenced a course of Chinese herbs. The next smear test I had (5 months later) came back normal. Each time I came away from our visits feeling as though I had been re-vitalised, and also more focused on what I want in life. Our discussions have helped me re-structure my life and gave me the motivation and confidence to start a new business.

Jo George has a wonderful way of caring for people. Her holistic approach to her patients means that she truly is a healer of not just the body, but also of the mind and soul. I would recommend her to anyone seeking treatment.

Headaches
I have suffered from headaches for a considerable number of years as a result of head injuries sustained in a car accident. I also suffer from Rosacea, which is believed to be linked to poor digestion. I was somewhat sceptical, when reading Jo's leaflet, as to the benefits gained from Acupuncture, but I decided to see whether it could benefit me.

Jo's calm, gentle, reassuring manner impressed me immediately and continues to do so today. Indeed, her very presence soothes and relaxes me. I began with regular Acupuncture sessions (one a week for six weeks) to kick-start my digestive system before reducing my visits to once a month. To complement the treatment, it was suggested I receive a course of specially prepared Chinese herbs, which I still take.

The improvements I have experienced regarding my skin condition and headaches have been very gradual and possibly not as dramatic as I would have liked. However, this has more to do with my expectations than how successful the treatment has been. I still suffer from headaches, but they are less frequent and debilitating than they used to be. I am very pleased with how well my skin has responded and I have been pleasantly surprised to experience improved energy levels and an increased sense of well-being.

Jo's sincere, dedicated approach to health and patient care is to be commended. I have certainly benefited from her advice and support, and I hope others are able to do so too.

I recently had a bout, the worst yet - it rendered me completely immobile and the pain was unbearable - no amount of painkillers seemed to have any effect! I was advised to try acupuncture - a new concept to me! After a one-hour session with Jo, I noticed that the pain had completely gone however the movement was still restricted. During the next 4 hours my neck slowly 'freed up' and by the following morning, I had recovered by about 80%. In the following 2 days, I made a complete recovery. I have since received further treatments and would highly recommend acupuncture as a very viable solution...as well as being a very pleasant and calming sensation.

Infertility
Having already had one child successfully through IVF treatment, I had been trying for 4 years to conceive again through the same process. I originally went along to see Jo for Reflexology to support my general health whilst having the IVF treatment, but she has ended up giving far more than this.

Jo has listened carefully to the diagnosis I have reported of the Western medicine and recommended alternative therapies at each stage to support the scientific process. She has performed acupuncture as well as prescribed Chinese herbs which have been very specific to my problems. She has carefully tweaked these prescriptions through each stage and I am now in the early stages of pregnancy.

I do believe that Jo's contribution has made a difference to the IVF cycle this time and I am convinced that her treatments can work fantastically alongside the traditional Western methods of assisted conception.

Exhaustion, Candida and skin problems
Great stress at work, constant travel and a pretty hectic social life began to set the scene for depressed energy levels, and poor immune function. Following a parasitic infection picked up on my travels, candida got its grip on my gut and skin problems followed. I was introduced to Jo through friends, and excellent reports of her treatments convinced me to try acupuncture, something I had previously considered to be only for masochists. I started with monthly acupuncture sessions and have recently began integrating Chinese herbs.

Jo has an aura of calm, peace, kindness, and wisdom; she transmits a sense of well-being. Her non-judgmental and highly professional explanations and interpretations of symptoms instil the kind of trust I found so important for approaching acupuncture. She handles the needles expertly, with no pain, and her accompanying explanations of the sensation one ought to get when they are being manoeuvred are very comforting. After each session, the sense of harmony with the world and complete tranquillity is incredible- no external influence can knock me off that 'cloud' I float on. I'm confident that this process of healing will help me reach my health goals.

Jo is truly inspiring and her influence has led me to reflect upon life's issues from a new angle and positive perspective. Anyone wishing to make a real investment in his or her health and development can feel assured there on the right track contacting Jo.

Painful and irregular menstruation
I came to Jo with a long history of painful, irregular menstruation with PMT and pelvic pain, headaches, fatigue and a bad back with sciatica. After nearly a decade of unsuccessful treatment by conventional Western medicine with drugs, internal examinations, scans and surgery, there was still no diagnosis for my endometriosis-like symptoms. I felt exhausted, depressed, desperate and almost violated by the invasive approach employed by traditional doctors. I chose to seek an alternative approach when I was told by a consultant, at the age of 24, that the only “treatment” was a hysterectomy as I was probably infertile anyway.

My first appointment with Jo was a breath of fresh air. She listened to me patiently while I explained the history of my symptoms. She recognised a link between my symptoms that had never been recognised before. She began to formulate a series of acupuncture prescriptions and herbal medicine that was tailored to my situation. Unlike traditional prescriptions, my treatment was continually modified, according my progress and specific needs at the different times of my cycle. Throughout the sessions, I felt relaxed, safe, individual and important. Almost instantly, my symptoms “peeled” away. Within 1 month, I saw a dramatic improvement in my health and state of mind. After only 3 months of treatment, which now includes Reiki, my menstrual cycle has been regulated, PMT symptoms reduced, pelvic pain very infrequent and the sciatica hasn’t returned.

Jo’s approach to healing was a welcome change to traditional medicine. It is non-invasive and personal. She encourages to me to understand the treatment I am receiving and has introduced me to Reiki healing. She is a warm, compassionate and highly skilled, intuitive healer, who is continually striving to improve her knowledge and its application.

Problems conceiving
After trying to conceive for about six months, I had some tests done with my GP and they called me a "border line" - it might be that I was not even ovulating. I was very anxious (as I'm also 37 years old) and began to search the net in order to find alternative ways to enhance my fertility.

After my first visit at Jo's clinic I felt less anxious and much calmer. I was looked forward to my weekly appointments with Jo for acupuncture, as well as Chinese Herbal Medicine. Just the fact that someone listened and cared for me - the whole me - made me relax and full of hope again.

I am convinced that it was Jo's expertise and peacefulness that helped me become pregnant already after two months. Both my partner and I feel utterly thankful to Jo for her care, and I will continue to see her throughout my pregnancy as I feel this is a wonderful help and support for me. I am now in week 8 and have not experienced any of the "normal" problems during early pregnancy such as morning sickness etc.

Suffering from Crohn's Disease
I have suffered from Crohn's Disease for the past twelve years, the symptoms of which have progressively worsened, especially over the past two years. In addition, the prescription drugs being used to treat the disease were becoming less effective and were causing serious side effects, including the thinning of bones. Increasingly the only viable option, according to the hospital doctors, was radical surgery.

My concern over proceeding with the surgery made me contact Jo who prescribed a combination of acupuncture (weekly) and Chinese herbs (daily). The positive impact of this treatment on my condition cannot be emphasised enough. It has resulted in a significant reduction of my symptoms over the last six months to the point where my health is the best it has been in nearly five years and has also permitted a reduction my prescription drugs to a level where their side effects are greatly reduced.

I believe that one of the main reasons behind the on-going success of my treatment has been Jo's diagnostic skill, which allows her to adjust the acupuncture treatment and Chinese herbs according to an individual's symptoms. This allows a more sophisticated treatment of my illness than any of the current prescription drugs available and without their side-effects.

I think that acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can help anyone suffering from
digestive or bowel complaints.

Irregular smear tests
After having two irregular cervical smear tests within a space of three months I was advised to have a Colposcopy in order to ascertain what stage of cell change had occurred and which strain of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) was causing the changes. During the Colposcopy the specialist told me that the area of cell change was small and that the strains of HPV which caused genital warts (from which I was also mildly suffering at the time) are not usually associated with cancer. He took a biopsy, just to be on the safe side, and I went away relieved, assuming the biopsy would come back normal.
I was therefore very shocked to receive a letter recommending a loop diathermy to remove the area of abnormal cells.

I was very reluctant to undergo this treatment and so when Jo was recommended to me I immediately made an appointment. I consulted the specialist and he agreed that there would be no risk in having a further Colposcopy three months later before deciding whether to have the loop diathermy. During this time I saw Jo every week for acupuncture and took a course of Chinese herbs. At my next Colposcopy I was told that there was a minute area of cell change that was "between something and nothing", no
biopsy was taken and the smear test came back normal, showing no HPV.

My weekly appointments with Jo were always reassuring and rejuvenating, I regularly walked out of her clinic feeling centred and very alive. She addressed not just the condition in my cervix but other aspects of my physical and emotional health.

Unexplained infertility
I had experienced unexplained infertility for four years. During this time I underwent a number of invasive procedures at my local hospital, with no conclusive reason why I wasn't able to conceive. I also had a successful cycle of IVF but miscarried in the twelfth week.

On the advice of a friend I went to Jo for an acupuncture consultation. This was much more relaxed than the hospital appointments I had experienced; the Life Medicine Centre is a calm environment with her own paintings on the wall. I was given the time to describe my history and felt I was being listened to. We agreed I would have weekly acupuncture sessions and a prescription of Chinese herbs. Each week Jo would carry out non-invasive diagnostic tests and ask me about my well being and health before deciding the best course of acupuncture treatment for the session. About monthly the prescription of herbs would alter to meet my needs.

After three months I fell pregnant naturally, however, I had an early miscarriage. I continued to see Jo weekly - this was very helpful at keeping me calm and positive as well as restoring my health. Three months later I conceived naturally again. In the early weeks after this Jo gave me a special formula of herbs to try to prevent another miscarriage and acupuncture to secure the foetus and maintain my health and emotional wellbeing. I continued to see Jo weekly until about sixteen weeks then fortnightly until my second scan. I am now 37 weeks pregnant and my partner and I are looking forward to the birth of our much awaited first child.

Jo's exceptional expertise, ability to listen and diagnose and calm, welcoming manner all contributed to this success. This is in contrast to the naturally busy and rushed environment of a western hospital. Whether seeking help for fertility issues alongside conventional western medicine or in the absence of it, I truly believe acupuncture is an effective, non-invasive approach to enabling conception.

Malaria
I have been living in Nigeria for the past three years. In that time, I have had malaria several times, a nasty bout of gastro-enteritis, as well as amoebic dysentery (so much for life in the sun!). This has left my immune system somewhat battered. After going to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases and having all the tests possible (with no negative results), I decided it was time to seek alternative means to restore my health. Jo had been recommended to me by the sister of a friend. After taking my diagnosis on the first visit, she assured me that my yin imbalance would be restored, perhaps more by taking Chinese herbs than by acupuncture (although the latter would certainly help). Each time I have seen Jo on my trips back home, I find my system slowly but surely rebalances itself in the weeks afterwards.

Preparing for pregnancy

I first went to see Jo when I was hoping to become pregnant. From the very start I found the combination of acupuncture and Chinese medicine that Jo used both enjoyable and effective. I was lucky enough to conceive within 3 months and also noticed an improvement in every aspect of my overall health from digestion to sleep. Jo has a very rare ability to calm and reassure and her treatments provided a real haven in the week!

I continued to see Jo throughout my pregnancy, I didn't suffer any morning sickness, constipation, swollen ankles or any of the other pregnancy associated ailments that I fully expected! Treatments with Jo are not just a wonderful holisitc experience but also a real treat.

Immune system problems

I started treatments with Jo about a year ago when I was exhausted from endless colds, coughs and sinus problems and a series of various infections. No help was on offer from my GP (after the initial antibiotics & painkiller prescriptions), and because the blood tests were normal I had almost accepted my immune system simply wasn't working well any more. Luckily that's when a friend recommended Jo.

It was wonderful to suddenly receive such thorough and sensitive treatment. After only a few sessions my chest and sinuses were much clearer, and miraculously a few months later my immune system and well-being were restored. Apart from the very occasional light cold I haven't had any of the infections I used to have. With more energy and a freer voice, I seem to be the healthiest in my circle of friends. Other ailments such as stomach upsets, tooth infection and back pain have also been treated. Each time acupuncture and differing herbal formulas (when needed) are tailored to my needs.

I love Jo's holistic approach, her professional, unobtrusive yet warm and open demeanour coupled with vast knowledge and expertise can address any problem you like - which means I still see her now, albeit on a more sporadic basis to maintain my good health. And her beautiful artwork, which decorates her rooms, is a joy and inspiration too!

Chronic urticaria

In September 2005, I had a very severe attack of shingles in the sciatic nerve. As a result of this viral infection, I began to suffer with urticaria all over my body and scalp which gradually became a chronic condition. The weals and hives caused very severe skin irritation and inflammation which made my life unbearable and my day-to-day quality of living very poor.

I was referred to numerous NHS hospitals and saw many specialists who provided the diagnosis of chronic urticaria, prescribed a tablet (Fexofenadine Hydrochloride) to be taken daily but failed to offer a long-term resolution and instead advised me that this was a condition I would be forced to live with. Unfortunately I failed to notice much improvement but continued with this medication. By this time, both my physical and emotional health were suffering considerably. It was then I decided to seek alternative treatment.

I was recommended to Jo George and began her Chinese herb remedies. I visited Jo on a weekly basis and noticed a significant improvement. My quality of life began to improve and as the outbreaks of urticaria lessened my visits to Jo reduced accordingly.

I now see Jo every 8 weeks but continue to take the Chinese herbs twice daily. I can honestly say that I now have no symptoms of urticaria and am truly grateful to Jo for my remarkable recovery. I have also being able to reduce the tablet prescribed by my specialist to half a day, with the long-term vision of stopping completely.

I feel that my life has been given back to me and my gratitude to Jo is and always will be immeasurable. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone who needs help.

IVF/Natural pregnancy

I first consulted Jo George six months before IVF treatment. I found her acupuncture sessions restful and relaxing. Jo's calm and reassuring manner was a great help in dealing with the anxiety of trying to conceive. I had acupuncture the day before the embryo implantation and immediately afterwards. I am sure that the acupuncture contributed to the success of the IVF. I continued treatment for the first three months of the pregnancy and found my appointments with Jo a time to rest and recharge my batteries.

Two years later, wanting to conceive again, I restarted treatment with Jo and within two months was pregnant, this time naturally. I continued having acupuncture throughout the pregnancy and again had a healthy pregnancy with no problems. Jo was particularly helpful in providing a treatment for getting the baby in the right position after the consultant had pronounced that a normal delivery would be impossible because of a transverse lie. I would recommend Jo's acupuncture to anyone wishing to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.
