During my pregnancy with my second child, I experienced maternal depression. My depression was ignored and shrugged-off by the OB/GYN practice that I was seeing at that time. (We eventually switched to a midwife practice.) I called Dr. Huang and felt better almost instantly. She invited me to come in to speak with her and took my depression seriously. She ordered blood work and found out that I was low in Vitamin D. It was summertime, so all I needed to do was get in the sun more.

After I gave birth, I suffered from postpartum depression as well as depression that has lingered my whole life due to childhood trauma. I started the acupuncture/acupressure process and gradually felt better, but not quite enough. I continued with Vitamin D3 supplements, ease strain herbs and Andreset. This was all help, but not quite getting rid of my core depression caused by my childhood experiences.

Dr. Huang did an acupuncture treatment referred to as "releasing the inner dragon." During the procedure, I felt a virtual weight being lifted from me and a strong warm calming light filled the room. A day after that procedure I felt as if nothing traumatic had ever happened to me. That was the last acupuncture treatment that I needed.

Dr. Huang is very through with ordering bloodwork and counseling to see where issues are. My blood work showed an issue with my hormone level. Dr. Huang explained that the bio-identical hormones have the same structure as our bodies’ own hormones, so do not have many side effects of the non-bioidentical ones. I feel calmer after Dr. Huang's counseling, acupuncture, acupressure, vitamin recommendation, and bio-identical hormone replacement prescription. For the first time in my life, I DO NOT have a constant feeling of sadness, anger, loneliness, and depression. I finally feel happy and whole thanks to the kindness, attentiveness, and holistic care of Dr. Wendy Huang.
