What Patients Commonly Share About Their Experience at Yinstill

Across years of patient feedback and shared reflections, a few themes come up consistently:

More than clinical care: many describe feeling steadied, supported, and held – especially during uncertainty, loss, or major transitions.
A calm, welcoming environment: people often notice the atmosphere and the intentional pace of care.
Feeling safe and oriented: from the physical space to how appointments unfold, patients commonly feel respected, grounded, and clearly guided.
Whole-person support: many share that they’re met as a whole individual – not reduced to symptoms, diagnoses, or timelines.
Relational and consistent care: patients often describe a steady practitioner relationship, with care that adapts as needs evolve.
Shifts beyond the physical: some reflect on changes in emotional wellbeing, self-trust, and confidence in their bodies over time.
A steady place to return to: for some, Yinstill becomes a consistent support during a particularly tender chapter of life.

Very important to be comfortable on embryo transfer day

When I first heard about a new acupuncture service on site at PCRM, I was so glad because of a convenience. I had a really great relaxing experience on the day of embryo transfer. In my opinion,

The Roller Coaster

For me, the infertility roller coaster started on Day 1 of every cycle….the anticipation of timing things perfectly, the agonizing two week wait and the knife in my heart when I knew I wasn’t pregnant…again and again and again and again.

I heard about Spence on Global News…

I heard about Spence on Global News and my husband and I had been trying to conceive for some time. When I first met Spence, I appreciated his honestly and frankness as well as his ability to adapt his approach to meet our specific needs and my personality traits.

Another Huge Fan !

After some time trying to conceive, I became concerned that my body was somehow subtly out of balance. According to western medical methods, everything was completely “normal”, but I had an inkling that my IBS and the years I had spent overseas working in a stressful environment had taken a toll on my body.

I would highly recommend Yinstill and Lara…

I reached out to Yinstill after a year and a half of struggling to conceive. I saw Lara for acupuncture treatments and she was great! She listened to me and worked with me to create a plan for improving my fertility.

Do everything you can to feel as involved in the journey as you can, and with patience believe it will happen

My husband and I were trying to conceive for about 2 years until we discovered recently we had a baby on the way. We can’t believe it! It still seems unreal that this is really happening,

My successful ‘pregnancy achievement’

I would like to thank Spence for his stellar knowledge and support in my successful ‘pregnancy achievement’. I am now 37 and 25 weeks happily pregnant with my first child. My partner and I had been trying to conceive for 5 months,

My FSH level was 16…I only had one egg retrieved

2 years after having my first child we started to try for a second baby. Since the first time it happened quickly and easily we assumed it would be the same again. After 7 months of trying (and because I was 39 years old) our doctor suggested we see a specialist at PCRM and start the process to see what was going on.

Thought I would give accupuncture a try

I found it to be relaxing and calmed me down a little. I was super nervous as not knowing what the outcome is going to be in a few weeks time especially since I have had treatment done many times and have been unsuccessful so thought I would give accupuncture a try as it is supposed to help with blood flow and all.
