  28. Amazing Experience with Labor Induction
    I was 41 1/2 weeks pregnant, and my midwife warned that if I did not go into labor, I would need to be induced. I wanted a natural childbirth, and I'd heard that acupuncture may be effective in inducing labor naturally. So I called Melani and she took me right away. She even went out of her way to see me in a satellite office close to my home on a weekend, because of the urgency of my situation! ...

I also became stronger in my personal relationships, less reactive and more able to express myself. Acupuncture is truly amazing. And Melanie is su...

    Chronic urinary tract infections were taking over my life. I was prescribed antibiotic after antibiotic, which only caused my body to become more open to other illnesses and did not effectively stop the constant infections. I came to Melanie desperate and she greeted me with patience, care, and most importantly solutions. After regular visits and her specific herb formulas, I am happy to say ...

  33. good for moms
    I recommend my acupuncturist, Melani Bolyai. I don't know that she focuses on fertility issues but she definitely deals with them. I went to her for morning sickness and she was great! She is also a doula so welll versed in pregnancy and childbirth issues.

  34. The Needles Work
    I was experiencing chronic foot pain as a result of severely strained tendons and ligaments. Physical therapy and medication had been producing minimal results, so I tried acupuncture. The effect was almost immediately apparent and I was soon back on my feet and feeling great.

  35. help when you need it!
    I used Melani Bolyai when I had constant nausea during my recent pregnancy. I felt better right after my first treatment with her and subsequent treatments brought me a lot of relief. A much appreciated side effect was that felt less tired as well! I went back to Melani towards the end of my pregnancy for labor preparation and, when I wasn't going into labor, to help start labor. Unfortunately...

    As an expectant mother and a nurse, I can wholeheartedly recommend Melani Bolyai. My husband and I, two very positive people, were getting increasily frustrated after months and months of trying to conceive. It seemed like everyone else in the world was pregnant but us. I got pregnant the second cycle under Melani's care. She is consistently positive and patient, even with a Chinese medicine...

    I have visited Melani throughout both pregnancies. For the first pregnancy, she helped me get severe morning sickness to be manageable, and severe hemmorhoids to be minor. For my second pregnancy she is helping me with vulvar varicosities, and it's working! Thank you, Melani! You are a tremendous resource!

    I saw Melani for treatment for infertility. I was undergoing IVF treatment and had heard lots of good testimony supporting the case of acupuncture to complement IVF treatments.

  40. Great Acupuncture -- esp for pregnancy!
    I recommend to everyone to try acupuncture. It?s totally noninvasive and focuses on the overall health of the body. It teaches the body to sooth itself, so not only will you feel better, you?ll feel great! I like to think of it as a lovely massage without the soreness afterward. I was searching for an acupuncturist during my pregnancy and learned that Melani specialized in the female ...

  41. She helped me get pregnant!
    I very highly recommend Melani Bolyai. She helped me get pregnant this year after 2 years of trying. She's knowledgeable, interested, and has a very reassuring, encouraging way about her. She's also a doula, and is the Acupuncture Supervisor in Lutheran Medical Center's labor and delivery ward providing instruction on how to use acupuncture to induce labor and reduce labor pain.

    I first saw Melani in June of 2007. I have been seeing her for a number of reasons; relief with stress, depression, anxiety and IBS. It has been about 5 months now and she has helped me tremendously. My anxiety is almost non-existent. My IBS problem is SO much better and i just feel good. Thanks Melani for all your help!

    I had a lot of trouble keeping pregnancies, and subsequently, gettting pregnant. When I came to Melanie, I was exhausted and losing faith.

I found all that she gave us to be absolutly instru...

    If you are at all interested in going to acupuncture, GO TO MELANI! She is wonderful; healing, kind, and very professional. I was experiencing horrible headaches and after my first session, they were completely gone. Now I want to go back to Melani for the incredible relaxation and rejuvenation.

    I met Melani a little after my husband and I decided we wanted to have a baby. I have had some gynecological problems in the past and was concerned that I would have a problem getting pregnant. When Melani described the fertility treatment using acupuncture I immediately felt relief. I connected to this ancient method and her way of practicing it right away. We began a combined treatment of acup...

    I met Melani Bolyai in September 2006. She listened carefully to my complaints of imbalances in my body causing acne problems on my nose and throat, intestinal problems and hives at certain times in the month. She detected a hormonal problem and prescribed a combination of Chinese herbs in pill form (much easier to take than teas). Melani carefully wrote down the proper administration of the he...

  49. Impressive, Quick Results
    I did something to my knee during a basketball game and decided to try acupuncture with Melani to make the pain go away. After one treatment from Melani my knee felt so good I was flying down the basketball court. After two treatments I had no pain at all. I was very impressed with the results and would recommend Melani highly.

    A few months ago I suffered an injury to my lower back. The pain was unbearable making my everyday activities impossible. My first reaction was to see a chiropractor, and with electrostimulation, the pain subsided for a day or so, but it wasn't a permanent solution to my pain. So I decided to try acupuncture. Melani was very thorough with her assessment of my problem. She explained the treatment ...

    I went to Melani after experiencing an early miscarriage and a D&C. She did me acupuncture and gave me herbs to help me start ovulating again since most women experience long cycles after a D&C.

With Melani's help, I was pregnant again 3 weeks after my...

  61. I recommend Melani!
    I was reluctant to try acupuncture at first but being a week overdue with my second child I was ready to try anything. Melani was wonderful. Her warm personality welcomed my MANY questions and she was flexible in working with my midwife. Most importantly she helped my labor to begin, avoiding a medical induction. I have recommend Melani to many people and will continue to do so.

    Melani was warm, approchable and knowledgeable. I'm really glad to have met with her. I found out, too, that she's also a doula and works with fertility issues, so I'm gonna keep that in mind when my partner and I decide we want to get pregnant (I'm over thirty and want all the support I can get around conceiving). Anyway, she's great, and I've already recommended her to friends.
