THE INSTRUCTORS

DEBORAH WADDELL, Dipl, AC., CA, director of the Skylands
Acupuncture, brings a wealth of knowledge and years of experience enhancing a woman's fertility through acupuncture, patent formulas, and diet, lifestyle and mindfulness teachings. Before becoming an acupuncturist, Deborah was a hazardous waste specialist. Published in the Environmental Journal of Toxicology, her research illustrated the effects many commonly used chemicals, herbicides and pesticides have on fertility.

Here is what a few of Deborah's patients have to say:

"I was 43 years old when I started with Deborah. I did one round of ART and was told that my eggs were too old and I should either use donor eggs or adopt. Three and half months after starting acupuncture and herbs and changing my diet I became pregnant and have just delivered a 9 lb. 4 oz. beautiful baby boy." KK

"I had 3 failed IUIs and 5 failed IVFs over the course of 1.5 years. I was told my only chance of being a mother would be to use a donor egg or adopt. Once I stopped all the ART meds, I then began taking the Chinese herbs, continuing with my acupuncture. Thankfully, due to Debbie's expertise we now have a 1 year old perfectly healthy daughter. Words cannot express how thankful we are to Debbie." BB.

"My ART Clinic said I had a 1 in 8,000 chance of conceiving because I was 41 and not responding to the ART meds. Well, Deb proved them wrong and my daughter is now 3 years old." JI.
