Testimonials from Our Clients

“I cannot recommend Dr. Blume and Be Well Acupuncture enough. My initial goals were to balance my hormones after years on birth control in preparation for trying for a baby. We were surprised to get pregnant straightaway and I attribute a smooth, no morning sickness and altogether enjoyable pregnancy with very limited aches, pains and stress to consistent acupuncture sessions.”

“This review is LONG overdue! I started to see Dr. Erica a few weeks after I had a miscarriage and continued to see her well throughout my next pregnancy and up until a few days before my daughter was born. Each treatment session was geared toward what stage I was in my pregnancy and to combat those uncomfortable and sometimes annoying pregnancy symptoms (i.e., headaches, nausea, heartburn, sciatica). I truly believe I had such an "easy" pregnancy because of her and my acupuncture treatments. People consistently asked me throughout my pregnancy what I was doing to support my pregnancy and I would shout from the rooftops about how vital acupuncture was to both my physical and mental health. Erica's treatments are holistic and do not just involve being poked by needles but I was also given guidance on supplements to support fertility and later pregnancy, nourishing foods, and eventually advice on how to help induce labor. I am so thankful for Be + Well and all their support this past year!”

“I had been going to Be+Well long before I was pregnant and I was so grateful to have Dr. Blume as part of my pregnancy "team". Her attentive nature and knowledge of reproductive health addresses every aspect of your personal pregnancy journey from morning sickness, stress, and optimal baby positioning for labor, and now I am working with her for lactation in postpartum. I always look forward to my time in her tranquil space for a dedicated hour to rest and recharge.”
