CHINESE MEDICINE TESTIMONIALS

 

"Good Morning Teja,
I came to see you last week for the first time as recommended by my Rheumatologist. I must say that after alsmost a year of suffering the many & varied pains of "Fybromyalgia" and the many prescription drugs that have been pumped into my system, since my session with you I have had the greatest improvement ever!!!!  I have not felt this much improvement and hope in a long time so a huge THANK YOU. I have a long way to go but you give me so much hope now and I am very excited at the possibilities."

"I started seeing Teja during an extremely traumatic time almost twelve months ago. I give credit to my mother for finding him, because she is the one who was given his name, called him and asked him whether he could help her daughter—he said yes. This was a word that I hadn’t heard before—from any doctor or health practitioner—and it gave me a small hope that things might start to get better. I was suffering from severe endometriosis , bowel and stomach problems and depression and anxiety. The solution for the endometriosis that was offered to me was a complete hysterectomy and a bowel resection, a remedy so extreme at my age that I viewed it as a last resort. From the very first week, both the acupuncture and Teja’s advice started making a positive difference in my life. Since Teja started treating me, the pain from the endometriosis has become infinitely more bearable and the debilitating stomach and bowel problems have decreased significantly and continue to improve. Throughout my treatment and to this day, I have felt supported emotionally by Teja, who listens and guides with a wonderful combination of empathy, intelligence, calmness, patience and gentle humour. I have also benefited from Jacinda’s advice and recipes and have experienced a wonderful warmth from their family that has been a much appreciated source of happiness in my life. I sincerely and strongly recommend Traditional Chinese Medicine and Point Specifics for women suffering from endometriosis, who have found that Western treatment options leave them with little hope and do not make a noticeable difference in their condition."

"Dear Teja,Image
Just a note to say thank you for everything you have done for Garrett and I. Not only have you given us the chance to be parents but you have changed our whole outlook on our health. From when I first came to see you in my open toed shoes and summer clothes I have learnt to look after my body on so many levels (I now even wear socks!). Your genuine caring nature made me feel at ease and supported through a time when I needed it. After 9 months of trying for a baby unsuccessfully on our own I stumbled upon point specifics. After learning about balancing my body, pre-conception care and with all your guidance I fell pregnant with our first child within 3 months. Chinese herbal therapies and acupuncture had given me my dream. I tell everyone I can how, not only do these techniques help you fall pregnant but they can give you a healthier body and therefor a healthier baby.  Tara Isabelle Rose was born with an apgar of 9/10 and 10/10 and I recovered so well even my doctor commented that I didn’t look like I'd just given birth, so I thank you with all my heart Teja."

"Our daughter had very dry skin, with some red irritated patches, almost from birth. We tried all the traditional creams and additives to bath water to clear her skin, however the red patches continued to irritate her. We thought about exploring Chinese medicine and found Jacinda.  When we first met Jacinda we were not sure what to expect and really nervous about the use of acupuncture on our precious little girl.  Jacinda put us at ease with her professional manner and her ability to explain the benefits of Chinese medicine and how it would help her.  Our daughter had gorgeous rosy cheeks that we adored until we discovered that her cheeks were red due to her "internal furnace", caused by her immature digestive system.  Her cheeks were rosy and skin dry because her body was always hot.  Our daughters treatment consisted of acupuncture, herbs and dietary changes. This combined treatment quickly helped our daughters skin and after a short time her skin moistened up and was just like soft beautiful baby skin and the only draw back was the she lost her rosy cheeks.

After our experience we can recommended you give Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture a try.  We were worried that our daughter was going to have life long problems with her skin.  Now when our daughters skin appears dry we know how to modify her diet and have only used the occasional moisturiser over winter."

"After 3 years trying to conceive and Imagelooking as though the IVF path was our only hope, we fell pregnant with our first child. The pregnancy and labour went well but we lost our son Ryland 5 days after his birth due to a stroke and other complications.

When we felt we were ready to expand our family we decided to look at the path of alternative medicine through acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine this is where we came to meet Jacinda at Point Specifics in the hope that she could help us achieve our dream of expanding our family.

The first time we met Jacinda her compassion and caring nature made us feel very comfortable and at ease in telling her our story, she spent a long time just getting our history and answering the many questions we had. Jacinda is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does.

Jacinda started with addressing issues such as my cycle and my husband’s sperm quality. She really took the time to explain what was happening with our bodies. Under her direction, we completely changed our diet, I started charting, we made some lifestyle changes, took some supplements and we had all forms of treatment weekly. We followed her advice to a tee.Image

During this time Jacinda’s constant text messages and genuine care as to how we were dealing with the treatment was above and beyond our expectations.

After giving Jacinda some challenges and after 6 months of treatment Jacinda finally gave us the go ahead to start trying for our family.

We were thrilled when we conceived in our first month of trying. We are convinced that the acupuncture and herbal medicine was instrumental in increasing our fertility.

Jacinda continued to treat me throughout my pregnancy for morning sickness, headaches, fatigue and general health.

Our first goal was achieved and then Jacinda starting treating Michael for his skin condition which improved immensely.

The pregnancy went well and after a 5 hour, natural labour our daughter Addison entered into the world. Words cannot describe our joy on the arrival of our little girl.

We highly recommend Jacinda and feel forever grateful to her for her guidance, patience and support.Image

"Hi Jacinda,
 
After having a miscarriage last year and then for the next 5 months having no success with falling pregnant again, coming to you was the best decision I could have made. After finding your website and reading about how you could help, I knew that acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine could work for me, but I didnt think it would it happen so quickly! As you know, after the first month of treatment you gave me, ie acupuncture and chinese herbs, I conceived. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and everything is going really well.
 
Thank you so much Jacinda!"

"I first went to Teja because he was recommended to me, I had a list of small problems, ranging from acne, headaches, women’s issues, back pain and my biggest problem was not being able to fall pregnant with my third child. I had visited the doctor on many occasions and never came away with an answer that I was happy to sit with... I must admit I wasn’t actually looking for an acupuncturist but Teja was highly recommended so I thought I'd give it a go.

From my very first visit with Teja I finally felt that someone was hearing me, that these problems wouldn’t resolve them selves and that there were ways to treat them, YEH!!! Teja has an amazing understanding of the body and I felt at ease with him straight away. That first visit with Teja did actually change my life and my family’s life as well. My heath problems were vanishing some from the very first visit and others with a little more work.

My third child was born that very same year and I believe that it wouldn’t have happened without the treatments from Teja and for this we cannot thank him enough for the healthy child we had. During my pregnancy Teja and Jacinda helped me with morning sickness and the baby being breech as well. I'm happy to say that he turned the correct way.

At the time I started seeing Teja I was also having a terrible time with my daughters health and behavior. I was feeling so much better that I asked Teja if he treated children, which brings me to Jacinda...

Jacinda gave us the help that I didn’t think possible at the time, my daughter was suffering from terrible night terrors, mood swings that just blew us away and already in her short 4 years an alarming amount of sickness, her immune system seem to be failing her.

Jacinda was fantastic with my daughter she never hurried her and took things very slow with her but again gave us answers and some hope that we needed. It wasn’t to long before we started seeing a change in our daughter and as the treatments continued so did her improvement. Now we have a happy healthy confident child that sleeps through the night.

Jacinda has also treated my middle son for asthma and eczema and I'm happy to say he hasn’t used a puffer in over 12 months and has beautiful clean skin.

Teja and Jacinda are fantastic at there profession but it doesn’t stop there. Their dedication to their patients is truly a credit to them, their commitment to your health goes beyond the norm and this is why that get such fantastic results. I have my self on many occasions recommended them to people for numerous problems and I will continue to do so.

These two wonderful people have changed our lives and will no doubt change yours."

'After trying to have a baby for nearly 2 years, I went to see Jacinda. She started me on Chinese herbs and acupuncture right away. Within 4 months of seeing her for the first time, I was pregnant and am expecting my bundle of joy next month. I have also suffered from stress, headaches and back pain, and she has really helped me with the holistic health of my body. She is fantastic, really cares and I would recommend her to anybody!'

"I have no hesitation in recommending Point Specifics Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic. I had been suffering with some persistent health issues both physically and mentally, for which I had been to a number of doctors of western medicine, whom never seemed at all interested in listening to me about what was going on in my body. After losing hope in anyone been able to even alleviate my symptoms let alone treat my bad health, I was recommended to go and see Teja from a family member. For this I am truly grateful. Finally someone listened to what I was saying and was able to identify and explain to me what was happening. From the first treatment I was able to notice a huge difference and subsiding of the pain and discomfort I was suffering. Now after each visit I walk away feeling a lot better and I have finally regained hope in my health issues being cleared up and managed with both acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. I owe this and my newly found direction to becoming fit and well, to Teja and his unconditional attitude in healing all those he can."

'After miscarrying a baby and trying to conceive for a period of time without much luck, we decided to look at some alternatives to help us.  About that time we received Point Specifics brochure in the mail and gave them a call. At my first appointment, Jacinda was able to pin point a few problems with my cycle and period and we set about fixing those.  After suffering for 20 years with long and painful periods, after the first month I already noticed less pain and a shorter cycle, within 3 months there was a marked difference and we were ready to try for a baby.  That first month we fell pregnant.  I am now due in just 7 weeks and am seeing Jacinda to help prepare my cervix for labour.  There is no doubt in my mind that Jacinda helped me to conceive, as the differences in my cycle were obvious using both acupuncture and herbs.  Just as I now put my trust in her to help me to go into labour naturally.  I would & do recommend Jacinda to anyone who is interested in trying an alternative to western medicine, you will notice a difference.'

"I went to see Teja at a time in my life when I didn't know what to do and I needed direction.  My health issues were becoming too much for me to handle on my own, I was overwhelmed.  Teja looked at all aspects of my life, listened to me, and understood me.  He gave me an understanding of what was happening to my body and how I could make changes in my life to ease and remedy my situation.  For months I had felt out of control and alone, but Teja helped me get to a place of understanding of what was happening to me and acceptance that it has happened to me. He also helped me to recognise that I had the strength to handle it."

"I have had lower back pain for a number of years.  During that time, as a traditionalist, I have been to every back specialist, chiro, physio, sports rehab known in the western world, with very little relief or prospects.  Out of complete frustration for throwing away good money on procedures which weren't working, I decided to give the alternatives a go.  Teja and his use of acupuncture and herbs alleviated my persistent pain within a matter of 3 visits - to a point where I'm able to lead a much more normal life.   Whilst I know I will never be completely pain free, I have found through Teja a source of pain management which I will continue to use and freely recommend to anyone."

"We are a family of 5 who have all been treated by Jacinda. My son had continual ear infections at the age of 5 and after taking him to ear specialists to no avail, I tried Jacinda. She made him feel comfortable and had a great way of dealing with him and earned his trust. He even loved the herbs she gave him. Within a few months his ears were treated and he has never had any more infections. My eldest daughter suffered eczema since the age of 4 months and after years of Paediatric Allergists pushing me to use Cortisone creams, I decided to take a gentler and more holistic approach. Jacinda did wonders. She combined herbs, accupuncture (very genlte on kids) and some dietry changes that made a big difference.  My youngest daughter suffered reflux and sleeping problems from 8  weeks old. I learnt about the Chinese theories behind the red rosy cheeks (called accumulation disorder) and Jacinda worked on gentle ways to overcome these issues. My husband had suffered Sinus for a very long time and Jacinda helped settle his symptons year by year. He now has 1 treatment a year prior to Spring to prevent the onset of air borne reactions. I have had various treatments with Jacinda to help me with a stomach ulcer, breast lump, hair loss and diziness after giving birth. Teja also helped bring on my last labour when I was 7 days overdue. Within 30 hours my contractions started. Both Jacinda and Teja have been made a big impact on our health. We are great believers in Traditional Chinese Medicine and in its approach to look at the whole body and bring it back into balance. Thank you Jacinda and Teja. We are so glad we have you to keep our whole family healthy."

DOULA TESTIMONIALS 

"Jacinda,

Thank you for being a part of the most joyous event in my life! I am now one of those womenKate's birth that say “I really enjoyed giving birth!” Hiring a doula was a choice I made early on thinking it would be a great way to achieve the natural birth I wanted and help us to feel in control in an unfamiliar hospital. I now know having a doula is asking for an angel to guide you through a journey that you will never forget. Your calmness in the early stages of labour helped me stay focused and your belief in me prevented me to weaken in the last stages. You encouraged Garrett my husband and let the experience bond us in a once in a lifetime way. I truly believe you were bought into this world to be a doula, as there is no one I know who can inspire, motivate and comfort an expecting mum the way you did for me.

To anyone thinking of having a doula I would say it helped me stay positive and achieve the goal I wanted which made me feel confident in my start of motherhood. We are eternally grateful, thank you Jacinda

Garrett, Kate and Baby Tara"
