At the age of 40, 18 months after our first child was born, my husband and I decided to continue growing our family. To our surprise, we got pregnant right away, but it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. I went to see two fertility doctors for evaluation and was told by both that my egg reserve was very low and my egg quality was very poor. In addition, my tubes were swollen and full of liquid, which was creating a toxic environment. I was recommended surgery to remove one of my tubes. After more tests, both doctors recommended me using an egg donor. I took some time to digest the very difficult news and try to figure out what I really wanted. In the meantime, I missed two consecutive periods. I have always been a big believer in natural medicine, so I decided to do some research on acupuncture treatment for fertility. I came across Dr. Vivian, and as I was reading her reviews, I felt hope and motivation to go see her. From the very first consultation, she was so kind and eager to help us to get to the root cause of what was going on. She first recommended that I completely change my diet and added acupuncture treatment focused on reducing inflammation and improving egg quality. At the same time, she referred me to a new fertility doctor to check hormone levels to find out the reason for missed periods. My hormone test results were devastating, my FSH was 85, at a level of perimenopause, my ovaries were shut down and not working. I shared the results with Dr. Vivian, and she was very concerned but willing to help me improve my condition at all possibilities. So I started my acupuncture journey with Dr. Vivian, who was always so patient with me and very informative about each step of the process. No matter how many messages I sent to her, she was always quick to respond. After a few sessions, new lifestyle, supplements and following Dr. Vivian's directions diligently, I started getting my period every two months. And then, all of a sudden, I had two consecutiv e period cycles! After 5 months seeing Dr.Vivian, I was so excited about the progress that I decided to repeat my hormone test. To my fertility doctor's and my surprise, I had improved so much that she told me to continue with everything that I had been doing. I went from having 1-2 eggs to 5-6 eggs.!! A month later, we received the amazing news that we were pregnant again (Naturally!) Everything looks really good and I don't even need progesterone supplement, as would normally to be prescribed for my age. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Vivian for all her help, guidance, and motivation, for not giving up on me. I believe she was godsend. It's a miracle!! read more

I have been an active and competitive runner ever since high school. After college, I adopted a runner's lifestyle and participated in races all over New York, New Jersey and Florida. Indeed, over the last 40 years, I have run many 5K, 10K, Half Marathons and over 20 Marathons; including the New York Marathon for 10 consecutive years. Approximately a year ago, I injured my right leg and this caused me to suffer great pain whenever I tried to walk or run. I consulted three orthopedic surgeons who conducted extensive testing and concluded that I was suffering from possible nerve damage to the leg and recommended that I undergo extensive physical therapy. Unfortunately, that treatment did not work as expected, and neither did the care provided by a fantastic chiropractic physician. After suffering for over a year hoping for my body to heal itself, I was lucky enough to get a recommendation from a friend to visit Dr. Vivian Shou-Litman. Luckily for me, after only three or four treatments, my leg miraculously began to improve and I was able to soon thereafter resume my daily running schedule. That was a blessing because I had gained over 16 pounds during the injury and I greatly welcomed getting my life back. Bottom line is that if you have an athletic injury that no one seems to know how to treat, it would not be a bad idea to give Dr. Shou-Litman a call. She is a fantastic healer who I strongly recommend to all my family and friends. read more

My husband and I have been to Dr. Shou's practice for more than 5 years, both with different issues as we are exercise a lot, running, spinning, swimming, etc and the results are always the same, a miraculous improvement of our ailments. In the past 4 months I've seen Dr. Shou for two different reasons. The first one was pain in my right hip and leg, in the Piriformis muscle. I went to see her and with her natural calming demeanor and soft voice she started to put the needles in, needless to say that after the first one the pain in my leg had gone from a lot to almost nothing. I went a second time and the pain was gone, and it has been gone since then. The second time was for pain related to a herniated disc. I got a muscle spasm on a Friday night that was excruciating, I texted her and she found me a spot the next day (Saturday). I went that Saturday and again the following Tuesday, and the pain from the muscle spasm had gone down from a 10 to a 3. She did not cure the herniated disc, because well, you have to give time to these injuries to get better anyway, but she help to get rid of the pain, which is more than what I was looking for. I call Vivian a miracle worker; she has an extraordinary gift. I am so glad to have her taking care of us, and I definitely recommend her to everyone. Lualdi M read more

Vivian has been an integral part of my family's life! My husband has used her for years for his neck and upper back problems. After many doctors and physical therapist appointments, the only relief he has ever felt was after his acupuncture sessions with Vivian! When we wanted to start a family, it wasn't so easy for us. I started attending sessions myself with Vivian after my husband and best friend had recommended her. I did some research and found out not only was her practice used for ailments and injuries, but she specialized in the treatment of fertility as well. I figured it couldn't hurt and started to see her regularly. Vivian put me on a strict diet and protocol for assisting in the fertility process, and along with weekly sessions, I became pregnant! I am currently 32 weeks and we couldn't be happier! Vivian is amazing and I highly recommend her and her services!!!!! Ashley T. Miami, Florida read more

I cannot thank Dr. Vivian Shou- Litman enough for helping us conceive our first child with Acupuncture Fertility Treatments.

I had thoroughly read how Acupuncture treatment had been used successfully to treat infertility and was eager to start treatment with Dr. Shou-Litman. Her caring, gentle, and understanding disposition reassured me that I had found the right Doctor to help me on this journey. She is truly amazing with her healing hands. After 6 months of continuous Fertility Acupuncture treatments, we conceived our first child. We couldn't be more grateful to Vivian for giving us the best gift of all... The gift of life. I continue to consult with Dr. Shou- Litman for any ailment that is troubling me at the moment. read more

Dr. Vivian is the most amazing acupuncturist I have seen in Miami. I have had issues with an irregular period for a decade. After seeing her, I have naturally gotten my period every month for 6 months!! That is amazing to me. I feel so much better and healthier and my hormones have balanced out- something birth control could not do. Whenever I did get my periods, they were really painful. Now, I have ZERO pain. I feel better than ever and I also feel like I handle stress a lot better now. I am so happy and will forever be a patient of hers. If you're wondering if acupuncture can help with PCOS or irregular periods, it definitely can. When I was trying to look for information on the internet before trying acupuncture, I never found enough information on whether it did or not, so I decided to try it for myself and SO happy that I did. It has been life-changing. read more

I had a severe shoulder pain. I felt that both my arms are "locked" and unable to move freely because of my shoulder pain. After Vivian's first treatment session, magically I was able to move both of my arms and my shoulder pain was significantly reduced. I continued to visited her two more times, subsequent treatments further relieved my pain. Now I am totally pain-free and I am able to move both of my arms in any direction of my choice. Vivian is simply the best. I have recommended her to all my family members and friends. She does wonders. Thank you, Vivian! read more

After suffering from a strained/pulled hamstring for about 5 years, and endless physical therapy, not exercising, Dr. Vivian after 2 sessions alleviated my pain by 90%! She's truly a miracle worker. She knows exactly how to pinpoint the area affected and then goes in and treats it. I would still be in pain and discomfort if it wasn't for Dr. Vivian. Even driving, sitting for an extended period of time caused me pain. Now I can actually sit without pain, without icing my hamstring.Thank you Dr, Vivian!!! read more
