Patient Testimonial - Thank you! I appreciate you sharing your experience. - V.M.G.

From the very first acupuncture session, Verona has been very welcoming and caring. I found her to be very kind and empathetic. She creates a much needed safe space. After taking an extensive history at my first appointment, she put together a detailed holistic plan to help me overcome hormonal imbalance challenges as I was preparing for an IVF cycle. Verona's knowledge and expertise definitely added to my confidence in sticking with the treatment plan. I felt so much more grounded and energetic after that first session. I'm happy to say that the treatments not only contributed to a successful cycle but it also helped me feel more centered in the other aspects of my life.
I will continue to recommend Verona to anyone who needs her support and care. I myself will continue to do acupuncture treatments to maintain this new balance that I've been able to achieve since the first session. Acupuncture is definitely an all rounded wellness treatment that just leaves you in equilibrium physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Verona! - A.M.

I’ll definitely recommend! Verona was able to treat the pain I had in my knees and back that I had for months with only 3 sessions. She’s attentive to your needs and always gentle. - K.Forde

**Patient Review** - Thank you for your kind words... VMG

After three months of poisoning, the slipped disc in my back from a previous injury flared again. It was excrutiating nerve pain, and I couldn't walk or relax well. It was quite challenging because I was dealing with both belly and back discomfort. I didn't know much about acupuncture so I looked it up online and came across South Point Acupuncture, 12-14 Torrance St, San Fernando. I contacted and spoke with Verona, who was professional and sympathetic, taking the time to listen to my lengthy background. Because I was in so much discomfort she made an exception beyond work hours to accomodate me the next day (July 11th, 2023).

The total session lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes, which included consultation and acupuncture treatment. After I left, I felt about 20% better right away. However, the pain in my waist to my knee had decreased by 80% within 24 hours. The pain had subsided after 5 days, but with sciatica, I must control myself and perform the required physical exercises. I am currently back at work. People said it would 5 or more sessions, but it just took one for me. However I am keeping an eye on myself and may need to schedule a follow-up appointment. I am overjoyed and grateful for the quick relief. I was unable to sleep, lie down, or walk before this therapy.

I wholeheartedly endorse South Point Acupuncture to everyone. I have three slipped discs in my back and discomfort running down to my toes (numb), and I received the necessary treatment. Verona/team is extremely informed about various topics in addition to other health problems and advice. This week I am returning for a Detox. - Mr. Sean J.

Women are now getting pregnant in their late 30’s or early 40’s. Modern culture encourages women to focus on their career, get married and start a family… all to be done before a certain age. As these events overlap, they compete for a woman’s mind and body making it challenging or seemingly impossible at times.
It is important that these women start self-care 3-5 months before achieving an optimum level of egg quality possible for conception. This is the time it takes for an egg to become initiated out of the waiting pool until it reaches the point of ovulation.
This period of self-care is applicable for both natural conception and IVF/IUI. You can save time and a have a better outcome by starting a regimen of fertility preparation prior to starting fertility treatments.
There is the possibility for changes in uterine lining thickness, regulated periods, increased AMH levels, and better egg quality.
If you are interested in fertility coaching and treatment prior to conception, please contact me to set up an appointment.

The clients who have the most success are the ones who actively participate in their healing. An aspect of their life was not working for them and they have been waiting a long time for a shift. When they do eventually start experiencing a shift, and their enthusiasm is triggered, they naturally become an active participant in their healing. . They tend to improve faster with lasting effects. It may not always be easy or pleasant, but always eye opening. I have seen people improve drastically on multiple levels. Everyone needs a little nudge to take their life to the next step. . (Image credit Blackjack3D).

Mental health has a very real physical component. Acupuncture can help to address that.
The acupuncture everyone usually talks about is TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is also used in my practice daily. However, what I love even more is a branch of acupuncture called Five Element Acupuncture, in which I have been trained for many years.
What it does is target the root of the issue and shifts the focus of the illness to view the person in complete health. In other words, it focuses on finding and recognising the virtue of the illness. This can be applied to depression, anxiety, mental and physical fatigue, forgetfulness, trauma, emotional “hang-ups”, emotional and spiritual growth.
Many people are not aware that acupuncture and Chinese medicine can address these issues. So, now you know, it is something worth trying. Leave a message with any questions you may have. I’ll be happy to answer them.

Viewing pictures of clients' babies or getting news that a client is pregnant is surely one of the better parts of being an Acupuncturist! It is always my pleasure to assist whether it is ART or natural. Contact me to find out if you are a good candidate for fertility acupuncture. God Bless!
