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,
Yinstill works!
I am a patient at Yinstill and my experience has been nothing but positive. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a few years now and were unsuccessful. After attending Yinstill and being treated by Junko,
Acupuncture for headaches and pregnancy
Sean is such an incredible practitioner! I’ve seen him multiple times for acupuncture – one of which was while I was suffering form daily headaches during the beginning of my pregnancy. After one treatment with Sean,
Someone I will continue to see throughout my pregnancy and beyond
When my partner and I decided to start on our journey of conception, we were excited about the prospect of having a child as well as the intimate, joyful process that goes along with making that happen.
I can’t even describe what an incredible experience I had with Spence, both in terms of the person, and the treatment I received
He came very highly recommended to help deal with an fertility problem my wife and I were having and quickly morphed into a total body and mind experience. I felt so incredible after each treatment,
After a few months of acupuncture at Yinstill, my next round of IVF was successful
I started going to Yinstill in the fall of 2018 after a failed round of IVF treatment. Right away, I felt welcomed by the front desk staff and the peaceful and inviting clinic. Dr. Pentland was extremely supportive and truly took the time to listen to my questions and concerns.
Message of appreciation for allergy relief and increased energy
I wanted to take a moment to send you a message of appreciation for Tuesday’s appointment. Thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to my whirlwind of symptoms and treating me as you did.
After a year of trying to conceive…
After a year of trying to conceive with no luck, I had started fertility testing with my GP and was on a long waitlist to see a gynecologist. While I waited a friend suggested I go to Yinstill and I could not be more grateful!
I am now a believer in the benefits and power of acupuncture as part of the fertility journey.
I was doing acupuncture treatments sporadically at another location in preparation for IVF treatment but with the first 3 IVF transfers being unsuccessful. With the fourth try, I asked our fertility clinic for referral and got referred to Yinstill with acupuncture sessions by Lara.
I felt more energized and better muscle recovery
Every pregnancy is different and doesn’t always come easy. This ran true for myself, when my husband and I were on a mission to add another bundle of joy to our family. I thought that since getting pregnant the first time was easy – we barely even tried – didn’t even bother with ovulation kits or tracking or anything – so naturally I thought that this time wouldn’t be any different.
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.
