Meeting Sae in November 2016 has, without a doubt, transformed my life. I walked into her space…read morewith a whole lot of spirit and a very broken body desperate for help. I have endometriosis and have been suffering from its brutal and unrelenting symptoms since at least 2005. I have a hard time describing the pain and symptoms I experienced but the best way I've found so far is to say that I was beyond miserable and everything, including my hair, hurt. The pain was so intense and lasted weeks at a time which essentially paused active life while I was symptomatic. I had been to a whole lot of OBGYN's and specialists (had a whole lot of invasive testing and procedures) looking for someone to help me find relief. In 2014 I had surgery to remove adhesions that started at my diaphragm and made their way down through my uterus, intestines, and to about as outside of my body as they could go, yet after I healed from surgery, I was still symptomatic. I went back to my Dr's and all they did for me was prescribe narcotics to dull the pain. Endometriosis is a tricky beast. Two years later I found Sae via a google search and as soon as I met her I felt I was in capable hands. For about a year and a half I kept weekly appointments with Sae and incorporated into my every treatment were in depth conversations about my symptoms, a plan of execution involving herbal formulas she customizes, supplements to help aid whatever needs some extra help, a solid and restful amount of time on the table, and a whole lot of her undivided attention. Sae focuses on treating my body as a whole, eliciting and supporting change while I heal so my body can maintain the positive change. It's a delicate dance and it takes a lot of dedication on both our parts. Boy has my body changed!!! After so many years of struggle I'm no longer confined to a life of debilitating pain; my physical body is healthy and functioning as so and I feel free and happy. I also have a better understanding of my body and how important it is to treat and take care of the whole body and not just the symptoms. I see her once a month now and I continue to feel healthier and stronger. Sae's presence is powerful, nurturing, grounded, compassionate, and bright. She's so devoted to her work and her patients and her skill and knowledge is vast. I know I'm gushing but it's so very true, she has altered my path in so many positive ways, I could never thank her enough.

I've been seeing Lisa Meyerson for a few months now and I love how we click. She's super personable…read moreand friendly. I've had over a dozen sessions with her and she has helped me overcome a host of issues I've struggled to deal with for a very long time like my insomnia and bronchitis. She's also great at recommending supplements and herbs to help boost my immunity during this crazy winter season. I schedule with her when I'm dealing with a nagging problem or when I am in dire need of stress relief. Lisa has a knack for sensing these things and knows how to keep me calm to let me know that everything will be alright. At her facility, Lisa always takes her time to get to know her patients. You are a name and not a number. She cares about what you are going through not just physically, but mentally and tailors a personalized treatment plan on a holistic level. Every time I leave her facility, I feel at peace with myself, feeling relaxed and reinvigorated. Looking back, it was the best move I could make to enhance my overall health and well-being. I've experienced the following complementary treatments with my acupuncture like Gua Sha, Reiki and Electro acupuncture; all have helped me in some way to revitalize and restore my (Qi or Chi) energy. Not only is Lisa an experienced licensed acupuncturist but I also found out that she's an astrologer! I own a few astrology books and was always interested in the field. A few weeks ago, I purchased an hour long personal natal chart reading from Lisa done on Zoom. It was truly an eye opening experience and she went into great detail about my personality and delved into the many planetary facets that make up who I am. My personalized reading also gave me insight into how the planets are going to affect me in the year ahead which I found to be very fascinating. Lastly, patient safety and health is the utmost concern at this time. She is very fastidious in keeping her treatment room sanitary and she requires all patients to wear a mask as she too wears one. Temperature screens are done at the entrance and the extra precautionary measures made me feel safe overall. Parking is plentiful in the free lot next door and her hours are accommodating to the 9-5 folk on select weekdays and weekends. I highly recommend her if you need acupuncture or if you are into astrology.

She treated all my symptoms and after one visit I saw results. Her holistic approach and knowledge on herbs also helped. Once I was closer to my due date, she did acupuncture for labor readiness and I don't need to go into details, but my cervix listened! After I had my homebirth, she did a home visit which made things so convenient for me. I respect her so much as a clinician and healer and would recommend her to anyone curious about acupuncture and herbs. Thank you Lisa for your care! Harlow thanks you too.

I decided to check out more about acupuncture after hearing benefits from more and more professional athletes. I am looking for help with multiple symptoms. After looking at more current research, reviews on Yelp, and North Shore Chinese Medicine, I decided to give it a try. Rena was the utmost professional. Quick response through email. Thorough steps explained of what to do. Welcoming and a wonderful bed side manner. I was able to get into her for my first appointment within a week of contacting her. Her office is lovely. Spacious. Private. Homey. There is parking right out front-street. The price was reasonable. I can't wait to go back again! What a wonderful alternative or compliment to modern medicine.

They have been working with women (and men!) who have been trying to conceive naturally or who are going through fertility treatments. They offer acupuncture, massage therapy, nutritional counseling and yoga classes. The clinic is cozy and comfortable and it is conveniently located in Port Clinton Square right across from the Metra Station in downtown Highland Park. Parking is free for the first three hours. I highly recommend this place for the best holistic treatment on the North Shore. They have amazing practitioners and I can't imagine going anywhere else!

If you are thinking about becoming pregnant or are under fertility care, look no further as this is the place you want to be to support you mental and physical body in your fertility journey.

Dr. Zhang was born and well-trained in China where her parents both practiced acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. She is U.S. licensed in acupuncture.

Every member of their staff is dedicated to providing an outstanding and unparalleled level of care. I was nervous to switch at 24 weeks pregnant, but made the plunge after a friend recounted their experience. This was the BEST decision I could have made for my pregnancy and labor/delivery. It was evident from my first visit that all of these professionals are deeply passionate about what they do. The receptionists were so friendly and welcoming; they always remembered who I was, and greeted me warmly upon my arrival. The nurses were so gentle and sweet, and I felt that they truly cared for me and my well being. I cannot say enough wonderful things about all of the midwives on staff. Each midwife proved to be an expert in her field. They all showed kindness and compassion for me, and were invested in my experience throughout the process. They all spent a considerable amount of time with me for each appointment to ensure all my questions were addressed, and that I felt comfortable and at ease. When it came time to deliver, the midwife on call was PHENOMENAL; she exceeded all of my expectations. It felt as though she didn't leave my side for the full 36 hours, although at some point she managed to deliver 4 other babies. Being a first time mom, she was very patient with me and explained things thoroughly as I progressed. I felt like we were a team, and that I was in full control of the process. I was looking for a practice that would allow for a low intervention birth, and I found it here with NSAGO. I felt safe that, should I become high risk at any time, the team would have the tools to ensure a smooth delivery, all the way up to a C-section if necessary. Thanks to the expertise of my team, I was able to deliver vaginally. I can say with certainty that this would not have been the same experience had I stayed with my former practice of OBs. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough! Thank you NSAGO!
