Pregnancy

“I've always been very active, but after the birth of my son I had trouble with incontinence and it made jogging almost impossible for me.  A friend suggested that I see Bethany, and nearly immediately I began to see a marked change.  Bethany continued to treat me regularly for about months and now, thanks to her, I am back to my normal activities.” B. Mancini, 38


“I credit Bethany with enabling me to get pregnant and carry my baby to term.  After several miscarriages, I visited Bethany prior to my next pregnancy attempt. I was 39, which the medical world loves to call advanced age. I truly believe my daughter would not be here if it wasn't for Bethany's touch.  I also had a needle phobia and she worked me through that as well. Not only did I see her for the first trimester, but I chose to continue my visits until birth.  I had an amazingly easy pregnancy, which I credit her for.  Not only is Bethany fantastic at her profession, but she truly cares about her patients and their well being. “  Maya Brewster-Dorian


“I started seeing Bethany halfway through my second pregnancy with a laundry list of complaints. I had never had acupuncture before, so I was a little skeptical. But Bethany took a lot of time to get to know me and was able to concentrate on a number of different issues in each session. For my acute pain, I was able to find relief within 24 hours. Thank you Bethany, for making my pregnancy so much more comfortable!”


When I got quite a bit past 40 weeks into pregnancy without going into labor, my midwives suggested I try acupuncture to get things going. Bethany Leddy was great about fitting me in for an appointment even with very little notice. I had no previous experience with acupuncture, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but Bethany did a great job explaining everything to me. I expected that it might be quite painful, but for me it really wasn't, and the actual experience ended up being extremely relaxing. When we spoke on the phone before I came in, Bethany mentioned that, since I'd never had acupuncture before, it was likely that I'd need two sessions before going into labor, but that then it should hopefully have an effect within 24 hours. And indeed I went into labor about 12 hours after my second session. All in all, being treated by Bethany was an excellent first experience with acupuncture, and I would certainly recommend it to a friend. –S. Torpey

“Bethany is a warm, friendly and intelligent healer. After years of yoga practice contributed to tight shoulders and other problems, her treatments fixed me right up! She not only helped me on a physical level but also helped me to move forward in emotionally in my life in many ways. Do not waste your time with anyone else, Bethany is the best!”-Claudia F


“A few days after I badly sprained my ankle Bethany treated my injury with Acupuncture and I was pleased to see an immediate improvement in range of motion and decrease in pain.”-R. Merrie Handfinger, D.C.


Acupuncture radically decreased severe pain and inflammation inmy knee. It worked when nothing else did. I’ve since successfully used itto heal other pains and injuries. Bethany is exceptionally knowledgeable andcaring. She explains how everything works and why she chooses various treatments.She was highly recommended to me, and I have since recommended her to manyfriends and colleagues. There’s no downside to acupuncture – no drugsor side effects, just relief.  Christine Youngberg (age 50)


For years I wanted to try acupuncture, but wasn't able to make time.  Then in 2010 I suffered a herniated disc in my back and was experiencing terrible pain down the right side of my leg.  Acupuncture was really helpful in providing me with relief on a regular basis, and in addition I discovered that it could do so much more.  It also helped me to treat tightness in my neck from sitting at a desk, as well as allergies during the spring.  Bethany is very personable and is extremely thorough in her treatment.  Sometimes the needles can be a bit painful due to my injuries, but Bethany is great about making sure you are comfortable.  After each session, I feel refreshed both mentally and physically.  I'm going to be moving out of New York in a couple months, and I can say that I will miss my sessions with Bethany!-Jason, 32


Bethany changed my life. Her personalized approach and technique were just what I needed to finally find relief from constant pain related to Scoliosis and carpal tunnel. I am grateful to have found her.
