I originally came to ACRH because I wasn’t getting my period
or ovulating. I was trying to conceive and wanted to do it the most
natural way possible. My experience was wonderful! Throughout the
time I was a patient at ACRH; the acupuncturists not only helped
my medical situation but also provided emotional support- much needed
when trying to conceive! The treatments were painless and relaxing
and I always looked forward to coming.
The best part though is that through acupuncture and herbal medicine,
I was able to conceive without fertility drugs. I am now 13 weeks
pregnant and so excited!
------------------------
”To believe in something and not to live it is dishonest”.
–Mohandas Gandhi. Candace Jania believes in the benefits of
TCM and acupuncture. Her commitment to fertility and the fertile
woman is unending. She is hopeful, practical and knowledgeable in
all areas of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Her knowledge pales
in comparison to her compassion for life.
I came to ACRH 2 years after conceiving my son via three rounds
of IVF. After our son was born, we tried, unsuccessfully to expand
our family and give our son a sibling. We again attempted ART (Assisted
Reproductive Technology) using Clomid, injectibles, timed intercourse
and about 7 IUI’s. After three miscarriages, we visited ACRH
and met Candace. Her assessment immediately gave us hope. She monitored
me, listened to me and most importantly believed in our chance to
conceive again. After just turning 43, it happened. Candace was
excited and at the same time validated. She had believed in my chances
all along. After many phone calls, sessions and emails of handholding
and calming my fears, she finally gave me the independence and security
to trust in my body that it now was about to take over. I am now
22 weeks pregnant with a healthy little person growing inside of
me.
I cannot help but be eternally grateful to Candace and her staff
for all that they have given me and my family. It is most heartwarming
to know that Candace, at such a young age, is so insightful, knowledgeable
and full of hope for the infertile womb.
I am forever indebted to this fine woman and cannot wait to share
our baby with her!
I would wholeheartedly and have already recommended a number of
friends and acquaintances to ACRH. I would be willing to meet with
any concerned couple in desperate desire to make a family.
In addition to ART and TCM/Acupuncture, infertility is filled with
fear, hopelessness and the ability to kill anything that gets in
its way, including a solid marriage/relationship. ACRH understands
this and cares about each person in every way.
------------------------
It was an emotional time for me when I sought help at ACRH, and
found compassion and understanding. I worked with Candace Jania
and Jennifer Law who are both amazing at what they do and extremely
kind. I have been a patient since 2009 and since then have been
able to get pregnant by regulating my cycles and getting me to ovulate.
I also have ACRH to thank for relieving me of my insomnia and sciatica.
I had tried chiropractic for relief of my sciatica and it was unsuccessful,
but now I don’t even feel it 99% of the time! I have had,
and will have again, an incredible experience at ACRH. I would absolutely
recommend them to others.- EG
------------------------
Dear Candace, I want to thank you for everything that you have done
for me. I especially want to thank you for all your words of encouragement
throughout my treatment! When I first saw you in August of 2008,
my husband and I were trying to have a baby for seven years and
now we are here with a beautiful baby girl! Her name is Victoria
for Victorious!! She is truly a miracle! Thank you so much for helping
make our dreams come true, I don’t know what I would have
done without you!- DL
------------------------
Candace- I just wanted to let you know that I had my first beta
today and it was........ 170.4 !! My progesterone was at 38. I can't
believe this. It seems so unreal to me, especially after 16 months
of TTC. I want to thank you so much for everything you have done.
Mentally and physically! I truly believe this has helped me. I will
still continue to do the acupuncture throughout my pregnancy as
I believe it will help me not only pregnancy wise, but overall.
GS
------------------------
Candace, I could have never done this without your support and expertise!
You are a GODDESS!! MY goddess! Thank you so very very much. We
are truly blessed! MM
------------------------
Hi Candace and Jennifer. I wanted to pass on our good news that
we are pregnant! I had my second Beta today and it was 1092! We
are thrilled and really believe that the acupuncture helped infinity.
Thank you for all that you both do and for being so good at it too!
SF
------------------------
Thank you for taking such wonderful care of me during my morning
sickness. I know I wouldn’t have made it through without you.
You truly are wonderful. I really appreciate you fitting me in between
patients, on the weekends and making sure I felt okay at all times.
You have such a gift and I thank you for sharing it with me. KB
------------------------
Three more months to go until our baby boy is here! I have had a
great pregnancy so far. I have been feeling great almost the entire
time. Thanks so much for everything. I had such a great experience
with acupuncture and I'm a true believer that acupuncture helped
with my infertility. I have spread the word about how great it was
for me and have recommended it to anyone I know who is having infertility
issues. I will be sure to send a picture once the little guy arrives!
KM
------------------------
Just wanted to say thank you for everything that you’ve done
for me. You’ve helped me not only with my fertility issues,
but helped me with my anxiety. Acupuncture and herbs have really
changed my life! You are so good at what you do! I am forever grateful.
I will still be stopping by from time to time for ‘fine tuning’
during my pregnancy. DD

ACRH was a God send to my husband and I. We tried having a baby
for over 17 months. We went through fertility treatments including
3 months of clomid with IUI's...nothing worked. I've always been
fond of "natural" treatments and decided to look into
acupuncture. After talking with a few different acupuncture centers,
my husband found ACRH. This was the only center we found that dealt
specifically with infertility. We were excited BEFORE we even talked
to Candace. Once we talked with Candace on the phone about our concerns
we became even more excited and couldn't wait to start. She made
us feel so comfortable and confident. After walking in to her office
depressed and frustrated, each week helped us to "lighten up".
Candace asked us to give her 6 months and we agreed. Once Candace
went on maternity leave, I started seeing Jennifer Law, who also
is AMAZING!! Only 3 months later, I was pregnant!!! I couldn't believe
it...until the morning sickness hit. Jennifer helped me get pregnant
and helped with my morning sickness. If anyone out there is timid
about acupuncture, I will be the first to tell you THAT IT WORKS...I
am a true believer!! If you are in the same situation I was in,
you have nothing to lose, it's the best decision I ever made. Thank
you Jennifer and Candace...if it wasn't for you, I would probably
still be sitting in the office of the fertility clinic, not to mention,
in debt up to my eyeballs!! BN
------------------------
They tested a day early, i still got positive beta (165), so I am
pregnant!!! They checked my beta 2 more times, and its been more
than doubling. I am so happy, its finally sinking in for both me
and hubby what this really means ;) We are both thinking that maybe
we will be blessed with more than one .. we are supposed to see
at the u/s at the end of next week. I am definitely very happy to
have done acupunture prior and during the cycle. It was a really
good experience for me. If i come across anyone going through ivf
or trying to concieve, i will definitely recommend you.. I am sure
that everyone can benefit from acupunture. EB
------------------------
It has taken me awhile to write this because part of me was worried
that this was a dream! I AM PREGNANT!!!! After trying for almost
a year, and being told because of my "advanced maternal age"
(I'm only 35!) and high FSH that getting pregnant without an IUI
or IVF would not be possible, I want to thank you from the bottom
of my heart because we are pregnant without an IUI or IVF! I remember
the first time that I spoke with you on the phone, I instantly had
a hope that I had lost many month before. That was the month after
our failed IUI with injectibles cycle when I was told that we had
to take a break because not only was I not pregnant but the medication
left me with large cysts. We were devastated and I decided that
I really wanted to give acupuncture and TCM herbs a try. At the
same time we were preparing for IVF in a few months because the
doctor told us that he thought that was our best shot after two
failed IUI cycles. To our surprise, we did not need the specialist
help…you were our miracle!
I just entered my second trimester (13 weeks and 3 days today),
and other than feeling tired and some night-time nausea I feel great….and
blessed! Your ability to know what I needed and support me has been
wonderful. I can never thank you enough. We are already talking
about conceiving number two next year, and I will absolutely be
working with you to achieve that pregnancy as well!
Thank you Candace, thank you so much for helping me through such
a struggle and giving me (us) hope. H.F.

Hi Candace. I was getting acupuncture treatment while going through
my first IVF cycle. With your help I achieved a successful twin
pregnancy. My babies are now 5 months old and such a joy. I truly
believe that your acupuncture was part of the reason we were successful
on the first try. They retrieved 17 eggs and implanted 2 embryos.
Thanks again. CB

At a time when I was beginning to feel defeated by infertility,
I learned about acupuncture and found Candace. At 30 yrs old and
healthy, I was becoming very frustrated after trying for 17 months
to have a baby. I suffered a miscarriage early on and tried several
infertility treatments including a round of Clomid and Injectables.
I was in despair. Frustration, stress and anxiety took over my day
to day life. I couldn’t understand why I was not getting pregnant
and the doctors could find nothing wrong with me. I decided I needed
some peace and calm in my life so I signed up for a yoga class and
began researching acupuncture. I first met with a local acupuncturist
who I felt no connection with and he did not specialize in reproductive
he alth. I asked SIRM to recommend someone and that is how I found
Candace. Upon our first meeting, I instantly felt a connection with
her. She was warm and understanding, she understood exactly how
I was feeling. She listened intently and put together a schedule
of weekly acupuncture sessions, herbs and gave me a list of foods
I should eat. I admit I was very nervous for my first session but
Candace was so gentle and kind that in no time I looked forward
to getting treatments. The treatments made me feel so calm and relaxed.
The herbs and acupuncture helped balance my body along with my new
healthy diet. 7 weekly treatments later I was pregnant, naturally
–without any invasive treatments or drugs. I continue to see
Candace for acupuncture treatments to help ease my worries of the
1st trimester. She truly helped change my life and I can not express
enough thanks. --MEK
------------------------
After my incredible news, I had to write something to say "THANK
YOU". As you know, prior to coming to you, I was told by my
OB/GYN that I needed to go to a fertility specialist because my
endometriosis was so bad and my cysts were so large (11cm) that
it was going to be extremely difficult for me to get pregnant. After
going to the fertility specialist, I was told that I would definitely
need in-vitro fertilization, my husband and I decided at that point
that we should try acupuncture, being that I was only 27 years old.
When I met you, you were so positive and immediately provided me
with a list of foods to avoid/include in my diet and it really changed
my life. Between the acupuncture, the herbs, the diet change, and
prayer, I became pregnant after trying for less than 2 months. Thanks
also for the tip on using fertilityfriend.com, it helped us immensely
in predicting ovulation on my most fertile days. I am now 11 weeks
pregnant and my husband and I are happier than ever now. We were
amazed to see how quickly we became pregnant after hearing from
2 doctors that this could not happen without IVF.
Since I have been pregnant, you have helped me through morning sickness,
bloating, and mood swings which my husband thanks you for :) Thank
you again Candace for all your help and support, I will definitely
keep you updated during this pregnancy and the next :) --ID.
------------------------
I tried one IUI and two IVF cycles all had failed when I was referred
to Candace to try acupuncture. Honestly, I was skeptical at first;
but I was desperate to get pregnant and knew at 41, I was running
out of time, had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Working
with and meeting Candace is one of the best things that could have
happened.
After starting with Candace, I actually had one more failed IVF
cycle and my insurance had run out so I decided to go back to IUI.
Being told that the chance of me getting pregnant was “minuscule”,
after my first IUI, I was pregnant! I truly believe that Candace’s
therapy has made my dream come true I’m currently 13 weeks
pregnant and expecting twins in the spring.
Candace is an amazing person who is extremely dedicated to her profession.
She went above and beyond coming in on her days off, weekends whatever
it took to give me my best chance of getting pregnant; she makes
you her #1 priority. Candace has an infectious positive spirit,
which helped to keep me positive. I can not recommend anyone more
highly! Candace, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! -- Janice

Hi Candace -
I am so happy that you emailed me...I kept thinking of calling you
but it was never at a good time!! I am fine & PREGNANT!!! Can
you believe it?? 6 weeks 4 days today. I feel fine. I have to thank
you for everything. I went into acupuncture with a kind of closed
mind, only really doing because Dr. Dlugi wanted me to, but I have
to tell you that after meeting you and doing it for a few months,
I really enjoyed it. You were always so supportive and positive.
I looked forward to my appointments and can't tell you how much
I appreciate your help! I will definitely recommend it to anyone
going through the world of infertility!! Again, I can't thank you
enough for all of your positive energy and support! I will definitely
keep you posted on the next 9 months of my life! Let me know if
anything changes for you - I know you are working to defy the odds
and I have a feeling you just might do it! --L.D.

I had just found out that I was 6 weeks pregnant with my second
child. Almost immediately after finding out my news, the morning
sickness hit. And it wasn’t “morning” sickness
– it was 24/7. I was horribly nauseous basically all day and
night, to the point of almost being nonfunctional. The hardest part
was that it made it incredibly difficult to take care of my 4 year
old daughter.I was desperate to feel better. I had never tried acupuncture
before, and I was a bit skeptical and nervous. However, after getting
the ok from my ob/gyn, I went to Dr. Candace Jania at the New Jersey
Center for Reproductive Health. Dr. Jania took a thorough intake
of all my symptoms and treated me accordingly. I can honestly say
that I am now a firm believer in the healing properties of acupuncture.
I still had some nausea to contend with after being treated, but
it helped tremendously to the point where I was able to take care
of my daughter and tend to all the other household duties I had.
I felt more energetic and it took the edge off all the morning sickness
symptoms. Dr. Jania was more than accommodating in fitting me into
her schedule, meticulous in her treatment, and, as a mom herself,
she was sensitive to my concerns and my physical issues. After one
visit, I knew I was in good hands and trusted her completely. After
personally experiencing the benefits of acupuncture, I plan on going
back to Dr. Jania for any other physical issues I may have in the
future. -- Melissa M.
--------------------------
Thirty years ago I began to experience a daily and intense burning
sensation. I saw my gynecologist who prescribed several therapies,
but they gave no relief. My discomforts continued, coming and going
for over five years. At that point I saw a holistic doctor who diagnosed
my condition saying it could be managed but not cured. Using his
advice, I was able to keep the burning sensations under control.
However, last year the pain returned with a vengeance! A relative
suggested I see an acupuncturist, and I soon made an appointment
with Dr. Candace Jania. She treated me with acupuncture and Chinese
herbal therapies. In a few months Dr. Jania was able to "put
out the fire" completely. My long suffered discomforts have
not returned, and I am deeply grateful for the freedom and ease
that Dr. Jania's expertise has brought me. Not only was she able
to cure what ailed me for so much of my life, but she was also able
to make a marked improvement in general state of my health and wellness.

---------------------------
Ten years ago I began having symptoms of a disease which had been
diagnosed 20 years earlier. I found a pulmonologist who tried some
approaches without success. During the first five years a general
progression was seen, which led to a feeling of no hope and despair.
It was time for an alternative approach! I searched for an acupuncturist
and found Dr. Candace L. Jania. Within weeks some improvement was
seen and after the first couple of months the symptoms of SARCOIDOSIS
of the lungs became tolerable. Today, with some of the newer medications
in the western world and herbs of the eastern world, I see Dr. Jania
a bit less for acupuncture. As always, when those bad days return,
Dr. Jania is there for me to give the necessary treatment. -- Roger
