I've known Martine for many years as we used to work together as fellow practitioners. Martine was my saving grace during my first trimester of pregnancy. I was suffering badly from morning sickness and vomiting at random times during the day and her "Magic 8" technique as she called it definitely helped calm the vomiting down.

In addition to the latter, she did give me relief in terms of energy levels and general anxiety from the unknown as this is my first pregnancy. I also experienced cramping between weeks 6 and 10 and the acupuncture sessions seemed to calm the cramping down caused by my expanding uterus. I have continued acupuncture throughout the pregnancy to keep everything balanced. I started experiencing pain in my pubic bone area as I entered the third trimester and again Martine has worked wonders yet again.

The pubic bone pain simply disappears for a few days after her treatment. I highly recommend Martine, she is gentle with her approach and I don't even feel a thing. She knows exactly where to place the needles and every time is different. She is also very knowledgable in terms of nutrition for pregnancy based on the TCM approach. It is my intention to have acupuncture during labour too in order to ease the process. Each time I walk out of her treatment room floating on clouds, thank you Martine!
