Acupuncture is a very gentle procedure. However, sensations at the stimulated points of the body are common and often necessary in order to achieve the therapeutic goal. Overall, most people find it to be an extremely relaxing and comfortable procedure. The rate of healing and frequency of treatment is dictated by the severity and duration of the illness and the strength of the appropriate treatment.
Acupuncture is a six-thousand year-old Chinese therapy that works by stimulating the body to naturally correct the imbalances of Qi. This is done by inserting ultra-fine, disposable needles underneath the skin at specific points in the body. These acupuncture points are related to energy pathways or meridians that run throughout the entire length of the body.
Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine consists of 5,767 substances derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources. The use of these substances can be traced back to 1,000 BC.

Acupressure is used to relieve a variety of symptoms and pain.

Our journey with infertility started 8 years ago. We had 3 failed IVFs with 4 different fertility specialists/clinics, also Went to different acupuncture clinics. Sadly, there was no success.
This year 2021 we tried IVF again for the 4th time. Had one embryo. This time I went to Dr. Katie every day to prepare my body for embryo transfer, and continued to see her every day after the transfer to help the embryo implant. Two weeks after the transfer, Voila! I am pregnant!! My husband and I still couldn’t believe we are pregnant. For 8 long years of trying it was really hard to believe, specially

I was looking for an acupuncture clinic that specialized in fertility after my OB doctor recommended. I found Dunamis Acupuncture on Yelp and I was happy that I did. I was trying to get pregnancy for more than 6 months with no success but after 1 moth of treatments I got pregnant with my baby girl. I truly believe that Dr. Katie and the acupuncture had helping me, and I already recommended this place to some of my friends. If you are trying to get pregnant, please give this place a try!

We can't thank enough Katie and Sejin for this successful pregnancy, after 8 years of trying and 3 failed IVF. We've been to other acupuncture clinic with each of our previous IVF but with no success. With our 4th IVF, I saw Katie every day in preparation for the transfer and every day after the transfer. Two weeks after, Voila! With Gods grace and Katie's magic touch we got pregnant!
Now I am 17 weeks pregnant and still seeing Katie to help me maintain my pregnancy. I highly recommend This acupuncture clinic for those couples trying to get pregnant. Don't lose hope, give Katie

Katie and her husband are beyond amazing. My husband and I were having a hard time getting pregnant with our second child, and we were told to try acupuncture before more invasive procedures like IUI or IVF. I was a little hesitant at first, since I'm super scared of needles. From the very first meeting, Katie was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions to make me feel at ease about the whole process. We were able to get pregnant naturally within a few months of starting acupuncture. I continued on with the treatment until we passed out first trimester mark just in case

I started going to Dunamis Acupuncture for fertility and after 1 month of treatment, I became pregnant. I am now almost 5 months pregnant and continue to go to maintain my pregnancy. I find the sessions to be very relaxing and I always feel better afterwards. I'd highly recommend this business for your acupuncture needs.

Hi everyone. My name is Katrina and I would like to share here with you my experience of acupuncture by Kathy. I got pregnant with a blighted ovum ( A condition that occurs when a gestational sac develops without an embryo.) And when I have 11 weeks I got a miscarriage. I was bleeding like a crazy . We call 911 because my arms become numb. It was terrible. After what happened to me, my period didn't want to start. My blood test always showed the hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone secreted during pregnancy). So my husband recommended me to find a good acupuncture doctor. And I found

I am so grateful for this place! Me and my significant other were trying for a year to have a baby. With our age and no success for 6 months, we started seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist. I went on medications, did intrauterine inseminations, and various test. After our 2nd IUI, we felt defeated and wanted to take a break from Western medicine. I researched and decided I wanted to try Acupuncture. I came across Dunamis and made an appointment right away.
Dr. Katie and Dr. Seijin were very welcoming from the start. The place was nice, clean, and practiced COVID precautions, which is a plus

We made the decision to try for our second baby last year and unfortunately we were having some trouble. We had a friend recommend us to Dunamis in March of 2021 for fertility acupuncture treatment.
After about 8-10 sessions, I learned that I was pregnant!
Katie and her husband are both fantastic. They have all the appointments dialed down and gives you a call in advance before every appointment to confirm which I really appreciate.
The sessions are very comfortable and relaxing which is exactly what you need when trying to get pregnant. It can become a stressful process but going to Dunamis

Highly recommend! Was recommended by a friend to come here after suffering a few miscarriages and a couple surgeries and trying to get pregnant for over 3+ years. I was on medication for a couple months to help get pregnant and it didn't work. I ended up getting my period earlier that day and was so frustrated and sad. Driving home in traffic I decided to call them and they said they could see me that day. I was one exit away from home and turned around to go there. And boy am I grateful for that! I literally ended up getting pregnant right away! Went twice a week for acupuncture and took

I rarely had headaches when I was younger, but for past seven years or so I would get these series of headaches for several weeks. It would come and go but the intensity and duration was gradually getting worse with each passing year. I've been to traditional doctors but all they did was run expensive imaging tests without providing me with any relief other than telling me to keep taking aspirin, which only provided temporary relief. Around January of this year, my headache had gotten so bad, I could barely function. I got tired of wasting my time with these modern doctors so decided to

I’ve been going to Dunamis Acupuncture for a little over 2 years now. The environment is clean, peaceful, and welcoming. They are very knowledgeable and punctual, so you’re not waiting around for your appointment to begin. If you’re a busy mom with lots of errands to run, but in need of self care, I cannot recommend this place enough!

I heard good things about acupuncture for health so decided to try it out for fertility out of curiosity. I got pregnant after a few cycles and have really enjoyed going to Dunamis. Before getting pregnant, I noticed my period symptoms improved during the treatments and the sessions were also really relaxing.
Dunamis is owned by a very kind Korean couple who are experts at what they do. Katie who is very knowledgeable on fertility/pregnancy acupuncture gave me a lot of really good advice and information during our sessions. The facility is also very clean and I felt very safe during the pandemic

I love Dunamis Acupuncture! I found then through yelp thanks to all the helpful reviews and I wanted to share my experience as well.
My husband and I found out that the only way we could have a baby was through IVF. That's when I started going to Dunamis Acupuncture to prep for egg retrieval. I saw them twice a week and also bought herbal teas that I took three times a day. I was amazed at the effect that acupuncture and the teas had. My cycles can be rather long--up to 39 days sometimes--and acupuncture and the herbs helped my cycles be more regular and consistent. After the great

Dunamis is the only acupuncture clinic I've ever been to and will be my last. I have no reason to search further for another place because they have exceeded all my expectations.
I visited her clinic for help with getting pregnant and also purchased personalized teas (hanyak) for a few months. Not only did I get pregnant, but Katie also helped me maintain my pregnancy- something I've had an issue doing before. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and it's been smooth sailing with her help and direction.
I recommend Dunamis to everyone out there that need help with their first, second

My treatment Dunamis has been incredible and I truly believe acupuncture has been a huge contributing factor to my current successful pregnancy. I first came to Katie and her husband only a week after my miscarriage last year. During my initial consultation, Katie took her time going through my history and we discussed a treatment plan for moving forward. My cycle returned to normal very quickly, and I actually got pregnant just one cycle after my miscarriage. I have continued treatments twice a week and am currently 19 weeks. Katie and her husband are super professional, extremely kind, and genuinely

Was trying to conceive for 2 years. I was tired of western medicine because I felt like it wasn't helping. After intense research, I wanted to try acupuncture. The dr duo were polite and understanding of my journey and my endometriosis diagnosis. My plan given was to see Katie for treatment twice a week and drinking herbal tea 3 times a day. She also advised me to avoid certain foods that may interfere with the treatment. I followed her instructions strictly since I was desperately yearning to be a mom. I was able to conceive in 4 months! I was over the moon! Dr. Katie was even able to guess

Amazing place for acupuncture. They specialize in infertility. My husband and I have been trying for years, but we both were diagnosed with infertility. Did 2 rounds of IVF and only had 1 good embryo to work with. I was trying every option I know to make sure I get pregnant hence I came across Dunamis. Katie and her husband are very nice and have good customer service. During my consultation she asked me a lot of questions trying to know me and my infertility journey. I'm so glad I decided to seek acupuncture 2 weeks before my FET. She saw me daily up to the day of my transfer. I'm now

I cannot speak highly enough of this place. My husband and I started going here regularly in June, 2020 to try and get pregnant. At our first appointment, they were very thorough, going over our health history and speaking with us together and separately. We came for treatment 2x/week and were pregnant within a few months. We both have autoimmune conditions and were concerned that pregnancy would take much longer but we are convinced that we have Dunamis to thank for our baby, due July 2021!

Doctor Katie Lee helped me with my postpartum recovery!
The week I returned home from the hospital I experienced complications from the c-section where I bled heavily, soaking through a pad every five minutes. I was already in a frail state from the delivery but I was particularly worried because I have anemia. I rushed to the hospital to be advised that I needed to rest and let my body heal.
A week went on and when the bleeding continued to proceed, I decided to give eastern medicine a try.
Katie knew what to do from the start. She gave me herbal tea packets to drink with every meal and within
