Katie Mom to Tyler and Lillian I can't say enough great things about Leslie and her staff. I came to Leslie's office after two painful years of failed infertility treatments including IUI and IVF. Within six months of adding Leslie's care to my fertility treatments, I was pregnant with twins! Not only does Leslie provide acupuncture, she is also an incredibly valuable source of support and information during difficult times. Her office is a warm and relaxing retreat that soothes and calms you as soon as you walk in the door… I truly believe that Leslie's care both during my infertility treatments and throughout my pregnancy was a key factor to the successful birth of my beautiful baby boy and girl.

Sandy and Joe Being treated by Leslie Oldershaw changed our lives forever. Before I met Leslie, my husband and I had been battling infertility for over four years, and had just about given up. Through our treatments with Leslie we successfully conceived and delivered perfect twin babies. Five years later, Leslie helped us once again have another healthy baby.  Leslie guided us through the most difficult chapter of our lives. Her smiling face and constant positive influence helped motivate us when we felt like we couldn't try any longer. I sincerely accredit our three children to her and am forever thankful we met Leslie.  Her ability to work with Western and Eastern medicine changed the path of my life. I'm now a mother and have the family that I always wanted.

Merideth Mehlberg, ACC, Certified Professional Coach, Fertile Perspectives I could not have gotten to where I am now – a new mom! – without Leslie’s help. Her acupuncture and herbs rejuvenated my tired body, depleted by repeated miscarriages, and my spirit, which had taken a battering too. Throughout, Leslie’s enthusiasm and genuine care kept me grounded and hopeful; her staff always had a friendly smile to share. Now, when I look at my precious little girl, Krista Rose, I stand in wonder of the help that Leslie provided to get me to where I am today. Thank you, Leslie, for helping make my dream a reality.

Kathy F. After multiple failed IUIs and a failed IVF cycle, I found Leslie.  I was expecting to receive just acupuncture treatments, but instead was treated to a comprehensive health plan in a beautiful, tranquil setting that was just what I needed. We focused on my overall health as it related to my being able to become pregnant. Leslie was always a ready source of support and information during this emotional time. Our beautiful baby girl was born 5 months ago. I cannot recommend Leslie highly enough.  She is the rare practitioner who combines compassionate care with impeccable knowledge of both Eastern and Western medicine.

Rebecca, Mom to Zachary and Sophia I was thirty-seven years old when I was told that conceiving a child using my own eggs would be extremely challenging and highly unlikely. I immediately started seeing Leslie, as a friend had recommended her to me.  Two IVF cycles and twenty months later, I became the proud mother of Zachary and Sophia. Leslie is unique amongst practitioners in that she has one foot in the Eastern traditions with the acupuncture and herbal supplements, and the other foot firmly planted in Western medicine with an emphasis on diet and nutrition.  I always looked forward to my treatments, and felt like I was in great hands because of her in-depth knowledge of the roller coaster of using assisted reproductive technology.  She also gave me reassurances, and always found a silver lining to keep me going throughout my journey.  I consider her care an integral part of the process that led to my two beautiful babies.

Jennie I came to Leslie after being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. I had been told by many doctors that I most likely wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally because I hadn’t had a menstrual cycle for over two years. I believed that with the right help I would be able to get pregnant without lots of drugs. From the moment I came to Leslie’s office I felt seen and heard as the whole, complex person that I am. It made me happy to walk into the office for every appointment. After a few months of acupuncture and herbs my menstrual cycle returned and before I knew it I was pregnant! I now have a beautiful 16-month-old son and renewed faith in my body’s ability to heal.

Christa, Ella’s mom Before I began fertility treatments, I was informed that I had a lower than average egg count for a 35-year-old and that conceiving could be difficult.  Seeing Leslie grew out of a desire to do everything in my power that might help me to conceive, including acupuncture, herbal supplements, and a focus on eating for fertility.  From our first meeting, it was clear that Leslie was comfortable with lesbian patients and was knowledgeable about the possibilities that we may encounter (IUI with and without medication, IVF). Leslie’s down-to-earth, warm manner, coupled with her ability to stay positive and to explain the ins and outs of fertility treatments helped me to continue the emotionally taxing journey through 12 IUIs.  I am grateful for Leslie’s can-do attitude and for her unwavering help and support during our journey.

Michelle and Gil I truly believe that Leslie's comprehensive treatment plan is what made the difference in our ability to conceive using IVF. She gave us a unique perspective, invaluable information, much needed support, and calm, confident hope when we faced what seemed to be insurmountable obstacles.

Angela I attended a seminar about Eastern & Western medicine in Infertility and Leslie was a speaker. I started seeing Leslie and was very impressed with her professionalism and positive attitude. She provided me with a game plan and we went to work. When I entered my second IVF, my doctor was amazed at my results and asked me what I had been doing differently, to which I shared my experience with Leslie and acupuncture. I yielded more eggs, had a better lining, and felt great overall. While I did not get pregnant on that cycle, I did get two additional embryos to freeze, which was huge, and did get pregnant the next time with the frozen embryo transfer. Leslie was an integral part in this journey to parenthood.

Judy I have three little ones; it’s crazy but wonderful. Leslie was instrumental in helping me get pregnant with the second and third. She was patient and really listened.  When I was trying to conceive my third child, we reviewed the various western and eastern treatments that I was receiving, and Leslie recommended I take a break from IVF cycles to focus on herbs and acupuncture.  The next month, I called her with the news that I was pregnant.

A Very Grateful Mom I found Leslie after my first IVF was unsuccessful.  I had read that acupuncture could improve my chances of success, but what I didn’t anticipate was how much it would help my spirit.  I was 32 at the time and didn’t know anyone else who was having trouble conceiving.  In Leslie, I found a trusted confidante who truly understood what I was going through.  With Leslie’s guidance, I achieved a level of health and optimism I didn’t think was possible under the extremely stressful conditions of fertility treatments.  I continued to see Leslie throughout my pregnancy, culminating in the safe delivery of a full-term, beautiful baby boy.  Leslie was an instrumental part in helping me to achieve a lifetime dream of becoming a mother and also helped me through a very difficult time in my life.  I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

Julie Our journey to parenthood has certainly been a challenging one. We went through 5 IUI’s, 2 IVF cycles, listened to well-meaning advice from friends, and even tried some old wives tales, all to no avail. As my husband and I geared up for our third IVF cycle, I decided to meet with an acupuncturist who specialized in fertility. I found Leslie and her staff to be warm, caring and knowledgeable. I love that her office is very inviting and relaxing. Just before our third IVF cycle, I found out I was pregnant! I am very grateful to Leslie for helping us achieve our miracle pregnancy.

Mialisa Finally, with the great care, wonderful advice, and stellar practice of a very gifted acupuncturist - we were able to bring a beautiful baby girl into our lives. I really can't thank Leslie enough - and know without a doubt - that Leslie made all the difference!
