Testimonials from some of our patients
Words cannot truly express my gratitude towards what a gift Rachel is to my family and me.
From the first time I met Rachel I knew she was incredibly knowledgeable, but what I didn’t realize was that she would have such an important role in three of the best blessings in my life. She is not only an amazing acupuncturist but she also has such a peaceful and calming demeanor that she gives you the hope that you are desperately seeking. She also helps you to know that she is there for you, will do anything she can for you, and will always go above and beyond to help you.
I first started seeing Rachel in the summer of 2011 after a long history of irregular periods and not having a period for over 7 months. At this time, my husband and I were also wanting to start a family but I knew that I needed to have regular periods and healthy hormones to be able to do this. After a few months of seeing Rachel I had a normal period and then a couple months after that I was pregnant. I was so excited and amazed at how much acupuncture and seeing Rachel can help normalize hormones. I continued to see her for the first trimester of that pregnancy and went on to have a great pregnancy and easy delivery. When we felt like we would like to try to get pregnant again (15 months after the birth of my son) I went to see Rachel again. Within two months I was pregnant again! I went on to have a healthy pregnancy and birth of our second son.
About 15 months after the birth of our second son I found out I was pregnant again. At this time I hadn't been seeing Rachel prior to this pregnancy. We were devastated to learn that the baby stopped growing around week 9 leading to me having a miscarriage. I had the miscarriage and that next week started seeing Rachel to help with everything. With this being my first miscarriage I didn’t know what to expect and was told to expect a very heavy and somewhat painful next period. But with seeing Rachel I experienced a very normal period that next month after the miscarriage, and then went on to get pregnant the following month. I continued to see Rachel for the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. It was during that time she mentioned she felt my progesterone might be low around week 6 even though the first progesterone test I had done came back normal. When I had the progesterone checked again it was indeed low and I was able to go on progesterone to help support this pregnancy. I stayed under the care of Rachel throughout this pregnancy and had a healthy pregnancy and birth of our little girl.
I seriously can’t say enough good things about Rachel. She is just amazing at what she does and just an incredible person. She is passionate about helping women and it just shines through when she is with you. I am just so grateful for Rachel and for how much she has helped me. I highly recommend her to everyone. - AD, July 2017

After one year of trying (after a miscarriage), my doctor suggested I start seeing Rachel to see if I could get pregnant with acupuncture, otherwise my doctor would have to put me on fertility drugs, which was not the route we wanted to go.
I saw Rachel for approximately 4 months and in that time I modified my diet according to Chinese medical principles, received acupuncture treatments, and took Chinese herbs that were prescribed to me by Rachel. We then found out we were pregnant! I continued to see her up to my 12th week for acupuncture. On April 17, 2009, I gave birth to a healthy little girl. We are truly grateful to Rachel for giving us this chance to have another baby. Being of advanced maternal age (41 at the time of pregnancy, 42 at the time of delivery), I had almost given up hope that we would ever have another child. Thank you, Rachel! – GK During the first year of my daughter's life,
I had three incidents with very painful mastitis. I had to take antibiotics to clear it up each time only to have it reoccur within a couple of months. It made nursing uncomfortable and difficult. When my son was born a few months later, I began to have symptoms of mastitis while attempting to tandem nurse. I had Rachel do acupuncture with me and the symptoms disappeared. I did not have to take antibiotics again and was able to nurse both my children longer than I expected. This really increased my confidence and joy as a mother! I am really thankful for Rachel and acupuncture! - SY At age 40, I had been trying to conceive for almost a year.
A blood test revealed that my FSH level was 27.7. I came to Rachel hoping acupuncture would put my hormones back in balance. After two months of weekly acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and a diet based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, I became pregnant! I highly recommend Rachel Blunk to women with fertility concerns. She is caring, supportive, knowledgeable, professional, and effective at treating infertility problems. - LF I have been meaning to write you for a while. I wanted to send you a photo of our beautiful baby that was born in August!
We named him Jasper and he was born August 24. I don’t know if many people follow up with you after the baby is born, but if I were you, I would be curious. And, you must know what a difference your services make in the lives of your patients—that is certainly the case with us. You may see me again (don’t know when) for baby number 3! - KK Wanted to just send you a quick note to again thank you in helping our dreams come true of being parents.
We couldn't have done it without you and we are forever grateful for you! Here are photos of our sweet baby girl. 6 pounds 6.8 ounces 19 and 1/2 inches long Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - AC and JC "My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for 9 months with no success. When I first saw Rachel I had no idea my cycle and hormones were so out of whack. Rachel dialed me in and I felt great."
I was pregnant 6 weeks after my first visit. Ten short months later we had a healthy, beautiful Baby by Blunk!! Thanks Rachel." - SG

My husband and I are so grateful to Rachel!
Because of her help we now have a beautiful baby girl. We had tried to conceive for years, only to find out from a specialist that I wasn't even ovulating. A friend referred me to Rachel and within one month I was ovulating and within three and a half months I was pregnant. She is extremely understanding, supportive and caring. I always felt that my health and my future were her primary concern. We cannot thank her enough! - VM After a year of unsuccessfully trying to get
pregnant, my doctor wanted to refer us to a fertility specialist. I wanted to try a more natural approach and had read wonderful things about acupuncture. Acupuncture gave me more energy and just made me feel better overall, and after three months of treatment Rachel made our dream of getting pregnant come true. I can't thank her enough for her knowledge, support, understanding and encouragement. Because of my wonderful experience with her, acupuncture has become an important part of my life. – AM I found Rachel by luck and couldn't be happier!
My husband and I had been trying for a baby for over a year, had one miscarriage under our belts, and were pretty downtrodden with the whole experience. We had been working with fertility treatments and had one failed cycle of that as well. I called Rachel the morning of my first appointment with her intending to cancel since I thought it was too late for that month to have acupuncture help. She talked to me (I was surprised I could just call and they'd hand her the phone!), about where we were at with our fertility attempts and my cycle and she said it was not too late and I met her that afternoon. Needless to say, that was the month we got pregnant. Could it have been luck or coincidence? Sure, but I don't believe that. I saw Rachel through the first trimester.... she was excellent every time. I was worried about miscarriage, and her treatments helped me feel relieved and great throughout. I tell everyone about her and am so thankful to have found her when we did. THANK YOU RACHEL! - AD After almost 6 years of trying to conceive, and 2 years at another acupuncturist, I decided to see Rachel as a last ditch effort. After about 3 months with Rachel, (and now being 37 years old), we had decided that maybe we should also set up and appointment at a fertility specialist to get a little more aggressive (much to our chagrin). However, a month later, at exactly 4 months of treatments along with the vitamins she had recommended, and 1 week before our fertility appointment, I'm happy to say that I'm finally pregnant! We are still in shock. Thank you so much! - KW
"Rachel is a lovely woman who is responsible for more pregnant women than an NBA player, or the dad of the Duggars." -HK
