"In this journey of life there are two kinds of people that walk into your life. There are those who are a blessing or those who enter to teach us a lesson and I’ve certainly met both in past years. As of recently I’ve faced my biggest battle where I was one step closer to being terminally ill. Since then, I’ve had two painfully unsuccessful surgeries and visited three gynecologists all advising to get a hysterectomy done. In spite of that, I felt like if I did have the hysterectomy, it would have devastated me and I would have felt less of a woman. As in my mind, I identified that as being the total essence of a woman. So the thought of that was making me depressed, stressed, anxious and I was falling into a dark hole. I felt like giving up and finding no reason to go on, but I stood my ground and thought let hysterectomy be my last option and I’m going to try and fight this. From that point on I took steps in boosting my health and once again I turn to Adonia for her assistance but this time I needed her help quite literally with my life. During her sessions I always note the words she used. It was never “I” but “we” as in “we need to fight this.” The use of that choice of pronoun the “we” instead of “I” made me feel that I had a support system and I didn’t feel so all alone anymore. Indeed fight we did, as my latest results came back negative but bearing in mind I still have some ways to go.''
My experience with Adonia…. All I can say is WOW!! Adonia is truly one of a kind. She has helped me more than anyone has ever in years . Adonia has been able to pull emotions out of me that I had suppressed for years, I have not cried like that in a long time. When I left by adonia, I had to center myself and bring myself out of the emotions, Adonia was right there with me, she called me and helped me to gather myself and I was able to for the first time to sit in a silent meditation without my mind running wild.Adonia has helped me to release so much negative emotion that I have been holding on to for a long time. Adonia was able to help me to see certain things about myself and help me to dig deep within to challenge myself to become a better version of myself. I have been seeing Adonia roughly for about a year and I think it was the best decision I have ever made. I recommend Adonia to anyone who wants to uncover and do a deep dive within themselves to find and develop into a better version of themselves. I thank you Adonia for helping me get out of one of the darkest times of my life, without your encouragement and your amazing energy I may not have been able to see the parts of me that needed healing.
Acupuncture with Adonia was nothing short of therapeutic and life changing. On my first visit, the first thing I felt was a sense of safety within the serene space- inviting and calming, the space perfectly accomodates whatever work or healing a session may bring.
Adonia is professional, yet can guide you with absolute clarity through the deep healing that acupuncture can bring. I appreciated that she listened to my concerns, but also read between the lines and intuitively suggested beneficial points of focus as well. Being a newbie to acupuncture at the time, her communication and guidance provided me with the ease and assurance to surrender to the process. I love that we took a very holistic approach- healing wasn’t just about what happened in the sessions but after as well- she encouraged me to lean into other wellness habits at the same time. Through the work in our sessions, I can truly say that pivotal healing occurred within my nervous system as well as with my hormonal health.
I was 40 weeks pregnant and my midwives didn’t want me to go into 41 weeks as we’d planned a homebirth. Adonia did acupuncture at my 40-week mark for 3 days to help bring the baby down. When they checked my cervix on the 4th day I was already 6cm dilated and even when I was in labour she gave me more acupuncture to stimulate contractions. I don’t remember much when I was in labour but I do remember that at one point I didn’t want the needles anymore because my contractions were becoming so strong so quickly, so they definitely worked their magic to help bring my baby girl out I had a beautiful unmedicated home birth in my baby's nursery with family and doula right at my side. I’m very grateful for my sister Adonia being there with me before the birth and during lending her support. Her acupuncture although painful at times helped me through my birthing experience and contributed to my birth being so transformative.

My journey to starting acupuncture for fertility was definitely an emotional one. My husband and I tried for 1 year which felt like eternity, full of exhaustion and a rollercoaster of emotions. After my 1st gynaecologist told me to move straight to IVF I knew in my gut that wasn’t the next step for us and to get other opinions. Upon switching doctors, I was put on tablets to assist my specific situation but those failed to work. I knew I didn’t want to keep putting more drugs in my body so decided to try acupuncture. Adonia really listened to my story, my medical history and asked all the right questions to help me open up and release the tension and anxiety that my body seemed to be holding onto. Each session became more than just acupuncture — it felt like a bit of therapy that my body truly needed. Despite being unsure in the beginning, I chose to trust the process and stay positive that what was meant to be will be. I was told I’d need to give her 3 months minimum before I can see results and after 4 months, I got pregnant with my beautiful baby girl. It was the most emotional moment as I couldn’t believe it myself, pregnancy was something I always dreamt of experiencing. I truly believe that acupuncture played a role in helping me get pregnant and I’m so grateful to Adonia for being part of my journey! If you’re struggling with fertility, please know you’re not alone — and that there are people who can support you through it with skill, compassion, and hope.
