I am a big fan…I am so thankful to have met her when I came to New York ( I am from France and studied acupuncture in Germany). Thanks to her amazing skills and understanding and her treatment with acupuncture and herbs, I have a wonderful son , I got no baby blues and Kyllian , my son, is healthy ( he got treated for reflux from her assistant when he was 6 months).
Thank you, merci , danke for being here.

The YinOva Center was able to do what medicine could not. I suffered with the effects of PCOS for years. After several bouts of hormone therapy and sickening doses of insulin medications, I was at a loss. It was not until a coworker recommended acupuncture and the YinOva Center that things began to change. In less than two months Jill and her associates had my body functioning normally. I highly recommend the YinOva Center to any woman suffering with PCOS or fertility issues. Jill and her staff were able to change my life.

I like many of you reading this was having difficulty getting pregnant. I found Jill’s acupuncture was not only physically helpful but Jill’s calm but determined attitude was a huge help. I went through 8 rounds of fertility and found Jill along the way. We discussed my case and other health issues I had and I believe she was the reason I found an underlying issue that I then fixed…the next round I got pregnant! She helped me in so many ways and I have two beautiful girls to prove it! THANK YOU JILL!

Who knew? Getting pregnant is incredibly difficult. After months and months of different doctors telling me everything was fine and not to worry, Jill was the first person to say, “I’m sure everything’s fine, but let’s just give things a nudge.” Sure enough, there was a medical problem. But before we could have it fixed through western medicine, we got pregnant naturally. Jill was an incredible source of sage advice and calm through a very stressful time and I’m convinced it was through my husband’s and my weekly visits with Jill that gave us our beautiful daughter.

I feel so lucky to have Jill on my “team.” She and her staff at the YinOva Center are wonderful. I went to her for during fertility treatments and successfully conceived on my second IUI. I attribute a lot of my success to Jill’s caring treatment. The Center itself is warm and welcoming–making what can be a stressful time so much easier. You couldn’t be in better hands than Jill’s!

I can’t say enough good things about Jill and acupuncture. At a time that I had been told that the likelihood of a successful pregnancy was in the low single digits, Jill helped me through acupuncture and the counselling she provides as part of any treatment to develop a degree of calmness I had never felt before as I went through what I believed would be my final IVF treatment. (Not a lot of pressure there!) I felt calmer and better than I had ever felt before and earlier this year delivered a healthy baby boy. Jill has a wealth of knowledge about fertility and causes of infertility and it is clear when you speak with her that her primary goal is to help YOU!

I started seeing Jill to remedy my irregular menstrual cycle, which had gone from irregular to non-existent. Western doctors told me not to worry, but I knew that losing your period was not a good sign. Without Jill I may have gone into early menopause at age 32. She immediately pinpointed the problem and fixed very quickly. In addition to being an amazing acupuncturist, Jill has also been an incredible resource of business advice and general life wisdom. When I was ready to get pregnant, Jill had my body prepared and assured me it wouldn’t take long. Indeed it did not! She also got my baby moving down and ready to birth when the time was right, which helped for an easy and timely labor. I cannot say enough about her skills as a doctor and a friend, she is a very special woman on many levels

I was close to my mid-forties when I came to see Jill Blakeway, in my quest to have a baby. While I had already seen two prior acupuncturists with no success, I had heard through the fertility grapevine about Jill and wanted to give it my best shot. I was not sorry. Jill made me feel like there was reason to hope and helped me to maximize my waning fertility. In addition to being a wonderful acupuncturist (I totally, blissfully zoned out during some sessions) she has an excellent knowledge of herbs and could bring on my cycle when all seemed lost. In the end she made it work for me — I ended up pregnant with a mere six cell embryo, which thanks to her found very fertile ground. That embie is now a beautiful, very healthy 18 month old. I feel like I won the lottery and can’t say enough about Jill!

Jill Blakeway offers her patients the best of both worlds – she is an incredibly evolved person – balancing an innate spirituality and healing nature with a pragmatic, medical and worldly overview. I initially went to see her to help with healing after a traumatic surgery and now I go to her regularly for “tune-ups.” She is a real medical intuitive. I trust her implicitly, which is a big deal because I don’t for most in the medical/alternative therapy fields. And in the end, it’s all about forming a supportive, trusting relationship with your care-taker that guarantees a person’s wellness. You get that with Jill.

Jill Blakeway brings her considerable skill, compassion, kindness and a tremendous sense of humor to bear in diagnosing a range of imbalances and diseases. I first came to Jill after I had been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. She not only fixed the underlying hormonal imbalance I had suffered with for years, but she helped me through a year of chemotherapy and radiation, making an extremely difficult experience much more comfortable and bearable. I have been in remission for two years now and I credit Jill with helping me stay healthy. She is an absolute delight and inspiration to be around, and has become a very treasured friend. You are in very, very good hands with Jill as she is the consummate practitioner of a healing art.

Jill Blakeway is caring, knowledgeable and extremely well qualified. She has been very helpful in helping to reduce the considerable stress of living in New York City. Through acupuncture, herbal therapy and her counseling, I feel that I am well armed to face whatever New York has to offer.

Jill Blakeway is a Godsend! I was led to her through other caring professionals and have been overwhelmed by her support, caring and thorough process. She has helped me to understand my body and monitor my body in the most effective way.
When other doctors have been discouraging, Jill has been a ray of hope.
My husband & I have been trying to conceive for almost three years now. With Jill’s wisdom and vision I believe now more than ever that we can reach our goal of having a healthy baby. Jill is like a detective. She finds what is unique about each patient and zeros in on specifics. She tweaks and fine tunes my body – so that I can reach my optimum results. She is always patient and kind and has a heart as big as Manhattan. Run to see her. She is one of a kind!

My husband and I tried to get pregnant for over a year with no luck. We both underwent a battery of tests to determine whether there was a problem but found nothing wrong. We kept trying – charting like crazy, using the Clean Plan monitor to track my cycle and taking my basal temperature. We found the book “Taking Charge of Your Fertility” very helpful and informative – I really didn’t know anything about my cycle until I started charting. We even managed to keep a sense of humor about it and continued to have fun trying to get pregnant.

I’ve worked freelance in a very competitive business for many years. Most of the jobs I get require lots of travel. So, it took a while, but I found a steady job with less travel and less stress. I made a sincere effort to take care better care of myself and make time for relaxation and rest. When I turned 35 – having read all of the statistics about decreasing fertility – I started to worry more and more that my age was the problem. We went to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist who did more testing and after finding nothing wrong recommended IUI. We were really surprised by this – while we are both open to IUI and IVF and understand that it helps many couples to get pregnant, we both saw it as a last resort and felt that there must be some intermediate step. He didn’t offer any alternatives.

So, at the recommendation of a friend, I started seeing Jill for regular acupuncture treatments. After my first session, I felt less stressed out about everything. Jill was the first healthcare professional to take an interest in my charts – she actually made copies of them, studied them, and helped me to better interpret and understand what the charts were telling me about my cycle, which was sometimes irregular making it difficult to determine my most fertile days. She prescribed herbs to help regulate my cycle and in a few months my period became much more predictable. I looked forward to my acupuncture appointments and appreciated the warm and supportive atmosphere and the YinOva Center. Jill’s approach is truly holistic – she is not dismissive of problems like stress and depression that can further complicate infertility, and, at the same time, she is open-minded about the many approaches, both conventional and unconventional, for treating infertility.

About two and half years had gone by now and we still weren’t pregnant – I got impatient, and when I turned 36, I got even more worried about my age. So, we went back to the Reproductive Endocrinologist and agreed to hormone therapy – clomid in the first part of my cycle followed by an HCG shot then progesterone. We did it for two, uncomfortable months (progesterone can make you feel like you have chronic PMS) and I developed a cyst on my ovary (a common side effect of clomid as it can hyper stimulate your ovaries). The doctor and his staff were very nonchalant about the cyst – told me to take a break and come back for the full IUI treatment which, statistically, is more effective. It was a revelation for me and my husband. We decided that IUI and IVF weren’t for us – it was too much of an emotional strain. We’d keep trying, but stop pushing and just except whatever happened – baby or no baby.

I went back to the YinOva Center for regular appointments with Jill and Margaret and my husband started taking the herbal equivalent of a multi-vitamin called Man’s Treasure. In six months we were pregnant. My husband swears it’s thanks to the Man’s Treasure and I owe it to regular acupuncture. It’s a miracle, three years in-the-making. We are grateful to Jill and Margaret and everyone at the YinOva Center who supported us and stuck with us for the long haul.
