“Frustrated that I wasn’t getting pregnant, but not yet ready to turn to infertility treatment, I decided to try acupuncture to help me conceive naturally. I began seeing Easter Yi at Eastway Acupuncture in Bronxville last year. From our very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. Before every session, she talks to me about how I am feeling both physically and mentally, and from day 1, I felt that our sessions would be a safe space for me to talk about the journey of becoming pregnant and that she was there to help me every step of the way. And she was. When I first began going to her for fertility, my husband and I had being trying for over a year. Within 3 months with Easter’s help, we became pregnant, naturally, no drugs! I credit it to the acupuncture and the herbs which she prescribed. If what you want is to become pregnant, and to be supported throughout the entire journey, no matter where it takes you, go to Easter. Easter has such a gift of healing. She is a kind, caring person and I thoroughly enjoy my visits with her. Coming out of my 1st session, I felt more stress-free & relaxed then I have in quite some time. I am currently 7 months pregnant and still see Easter for the various ailments that accompany pregnancy. The level of care and individualized attention from Easter Yi is both seamless and outstanding on every level!”

“I came to Easter with the most unusual of ailments — my hearing was distorted. I had suffered a neck/back injury several months earlier and was still experiencing discomfort. It’s possible that my neck/back trouble was impacting my hearing, but my doctors weren’t providing any answers. I needed relief for both issues, so I turned to Easter. She made me feel at ease right away. She was very thorough in her explanation of what I should expect with the treatments. She made no promises, but was clearly committed to working with me to solve my woes. I felt better after the first treatment. My neck/back pain started to dissipate and the pressure I was feeling in my ears also started to wane. After the third treatment, I was truly feeling like myself again, something I hadn’t felt since my neck/back injury several months prior. I can’t thank Easter enough for helping me feel better. She’s friendly, professional and committed to her patients. Truly top notch!”

“​Hi Easter, Just wanted to thank you again for your acupuncture treatment. Friday I received my second prenatal service. By Saturday night, I was in labor. I gave birth to my little girl N.E. Sunday, safely with little pain. Going beyond my due date put me in fear of a cesarean deliver. Thankfully, I was relaxed and ready to labor after my acupuncture treatment, avoiding a cesarean delivery.”

“I initially went to see Dr. Yi for fertility treatments. I wasn’t getting pregnant as fast as I would like so I did my research and chose to see Easter. From the first time I met her, she was extremely polite and attentive. She asked a lot of questions and even asked what I thought were my concerns - very rare for someone to even ask that. Dr Yi has awesome bedside manner. I was getting so comfortable to the point that I would fall asleep during the treatment! I was never in pain or in discomfort because of the needles. After seeing her for multiple treatments, I finally got pregnant!! Once I received the joyous news came the miserable morning sickness. Like most women, I was getting nauseous, occasionally vomiting, having major headaches, and having indigestion problems. It was no question that I would see dr Yi again to get some relief. She was very sympathetic and went straight to work. After just the first treatment, I was feeling so much better. I wasn’t as nauseous and my headache was gone. My body felt more energized. I am stilling seeing dr yi and plan to see her as my morning sickness is still around and I know I’ll need her for the backaches and other pregnancy woes that are to come. I would definitely recommend dr Yi for infertility and pregnancy treatment. You won’t know until you have tried her and I promise that you will not regret it!”

“I went to see Easter after a friend recommended I see her. I was having difficulty conceiving my first child for 2.5 years, and had undergone 4 IUIs and 1 IVF transfer by the time I decided to try acupuncture and herbs. After 3 months of acupuncture and herbal medicine (recommended by Easter), I was pregnant! She truly is a gem. I always felt at ease working with Easter and am grateful for her services. Highly recommended!”

“I was suffering from sciatic pain for 4 weeks and decided to see Easter for acupuncture treatments. I had never tried acupuncture and am terrified of needles but needed to try something to alleviate the pain as I was unable to walk properly or sleep. After 3 treatments my pain level had decreased significantly and I was able to function properly. As a bonus, I noticed I felt very relaxed and less stressed after my treatments. I still see Easter for maintenance treatments to avoid another flare-up and have yet to have another episode of sciatica.”

“Easter is the best! She always works on the problem areas and then goes back to them if the pain and/or knots haven’t subsided after the initial treatment. I always leave feeling refreshed and recovered from my pain and injuries.”

“I had been trying to conceive for over 2 years on my own and went through 2 failed IVF attempts. After speaking to my fertility specialist doctor, I was recommended to try acupuncture in conjunction with my IVF treatments. I started seeing Easter a month prior to, and during my most recent IVF cycle. I found my stress and anxiety levels were decreased this past cycle and my doctor mentioned my lining was “perfect!” this cycle in comparison to previous times. I’m glad I decided to give acupuncture a try, because I am currently 6 months pregnant! Easter is wonderful and has great bedside manner, she really tries to make you comfortable throughout your fertility journey. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who is on the fence about trying acupuncture for fertility. ”

“When I first came to Eastway Acupuncture my FSH was 18, my AMH was .01 and my reproductive endocrinologist told me that I should consider an egg donor if I wanted to carry a child. From the moment I walked in the door I felt welcomed, encouraged, and safe with Easter. We began acupuncture treatment and 3 months later I successfully conceived with IUI. I am now 30 weeks pregnant and continue to see Easter on a regular basis for discomforts of pregnancy and placenta previa. I am so grateful to Easter, not only for her professionalism and skill and answering all my questions (there have been many!) but for her warm and caring nature. I have truly felt so supported by Easter and like I have an ally during this stressful and emotionally challenging journey.”

“My husband and I tried for 2 1/2 years to get pregnant. We tried naturally for almost 2 years, then we had 3 failed rounds of TI [timed intercourse] & Letrozole and another 3 failed rounds of IUI and Letrozole. If only I went to Acupuncture before I experienced all that disappointment. I’m pregnant today after 2 months of Acupuncture! I was told by my doctor that the next step would be IVF but I always had faith that I could get pregnant naturally. God answered my prayers. I feel blessed that I was able to find Easter, someone who is so kind, so detail oriented and just a master at what she does.”

“Hi Easter! I was thinking about you and meant to email last night- the results were positive for pregnancy!! We are so incredibly grateful and happy.
We only started getting better results with the IVF process this year after we started seeing you, and our beating of the odds time after time has been nothing short of miracles one after the other. So I just want you to know we attribute our success at least in part to your amazing work, and we can never thank you enough for the gifts you’ve given us!”

““While trying to conceive baby #2 over a year, I had two miscarriages and then no luck conceiving with 4 cycles of Clomid. Given my high FSH and low AMH, my physician at CRM recommended we move onto IUI with injectables, preferably IVF if we were serious. I wasn’t ready and started seeing Easter. Easter is present, has a great bedside manner, remembers the details, and is quick to laugh and keep things relaxed. What I most appreciate is that while my fertility specialist shrugged off my concern that my follicular phase seemed too short for successful conception, Easter took this concern to heart, recommended a couple different courses of Chinese herbs, and I finally conceived the month she prepared a tailor-made formula for me.
I was able to book appointments easily — even on Saturdays (and the office stayed open on snow days!), appointments started on time, and the location is convenient to the Metro North. This saved my sanity trying to conceive while balancing a demanding job, family, and frequent fertility monitoring appointments that never started on time!””

“I cannot thank Easter enough for all the support she provided me through out my fertility journey. She was extremely knowledgeable around different fertility practices, and was a great listener when it came to anything I wanted to discuss. She always gave me the reassurance I needed after seeing my doctor, and gave me many techniques to try at home to help improve my chances. I am now nine months pregnant and wouldn’t be here today if not for the support of Easter. She helped me through every stage of my IUIs, and two rounds of IVFs, and for that I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend her if you are struggling with fertility and need some extra support. ”

“My wife and I saw Easter for a little over four months while undergoing fertility treatments. Our REI recommended I try acupuncture to reduce stress since it can affect testosterone levels. I initially thought it was a crazy idea but decided I would give it a try.
Easter is professional and compassionate and I always felt comfortable during my sessions. I have a high stress job working in healthcare but found I was feeling more energized and less agitated at work once I started acupuncture. Lab reports also showed that my levels had improved, which was promising for our next IUI cycle.
Easter has been a great support during our journey and my wife & I plan on returning for baby number 2!

“I started my IVF journey when I was 37 years old and was diagnosed with DOR [diminished ovarian reserve]. After 2 retrievals that resulted in 1 embryo for the first cycle and 0 embryos for the second retrieval, I decided to add acupuncture into the mix. A friend recommended Easter and despite the long commute from NJ, I decided it may be worth it...and boy it sure was! My third retrieval done in conjunction with acupuncture and moxa resulted in 15 follicles retrieved and 6 blasts [blastocyst stage embryos]! I’m currently preparing for an FET [frozen embryo transfer] with 1 of 4 genetically normal embryos. I am SO excited and thankful for the amazing results so far. I plan on continuing my treatments with Easter leading up to my FET and hopefully during my first trimester. Also, I thank Easter for allowing me to vent and cry at our sessions, it’s nice to have someone listen to your frustrations and concerns while undergoing fertility treatments. ”
