“I went from wondering if I could even get pregnant to being
super pregnant while under the care of Dr. Rozenn”
“Prior to being under Dr. Rozenn’s care, I had only been to community acupuncture. I now liken that to getting a chair massage in the mall, and then realizing how life-changing a full-on spa massage is! The way she gets to the root of the problem and then continues to delve on each visit until symptoms clear up is so amazing to me. Her keen insight and desire to help people is so evident in the way that she treats her patients. I also really love her ovary-inspired jewelry, something she wasn’t even aware of herself – that’s how committed she is to her fertility work! I also highly recommend her book “Your Fertility Program”, not only is it helpful but it’s a good read.
Thanks Dr. Rozenn! I’m now due in January!” Lisa Marie G ~ Felton
“Good Morning Dr. Magic Rozenn,
I just had to tell you that my ovulation monitor showed 2 bars this morning!!!
That means it has detected an LH surge, as you know.
What is mind blowing is that it came so SOON! WOW! (although I know it can be a pcos thing…)
Fingers crossed…
Thank you again for all that you do!”
This patient went on to become pregnant twice more, here is her experience in her words:
“Dr. Rozenn was a God-send to me while trying to conceive our first baby, Ava. I had always known I would have trouble conceiving due to irregular periods since the age of 12, but not one doctor could ever give me a reason why? Not one doctor was willing to seriously discuss or diagnose me with PCOS, which is what I was suffering from for years. Very frustrating!
Not only did Dr. Rozenn teach me about my body more than I could have asked for…her treatments felt to me…miraculous! After my first treatment, I felt “different.” And as she explained to me the purpose and goals of my treatment plan, which also included dietary changes and herbs and vitamins, I was able to better understand, as well as feel like I was taking an active role in my treatment. I looked forward to those treatments every week. Within one month I ovulated and the next month, we conceived Ava!
I continued my treatments through my first trimester and I couldn’t have felt more cared for and listened to during those sensitive weeks and months than I did by Dr. Rozenn. If I could have had her as my ObGYN doctor, my doula, and in the delivery room, I most definitely would have! And in all honesty, she was there in spirit as well as in a few supportive text messages only a few hours after I was admitted to the hospital. It’s like SHE KNEW when I went in to labor!
I am happy to say that we are now expecting our second baby this summer, but in the same breath, it was not nearly the same experience without having the guidance and care of Dr. Rozenn. We moved out of state about a year ago and I have missed her care and support greatly throughout this pregnancy. Luckily though, I was able to apply some of her dietary recommendations which I believe helped me to achieve a viable pregnancy a second time.
It is with a full heart and endless gratitude that I recommend Dr. Rozenn to any woman or couple struggling with fertility! She will change your Life in more ways than you can know.”Maggie G.~North Carolina
“I’ve been Dr. Rozenn’s patient for a long time–first as a grad student in Santa Cruz, then commuting down from SF, & now flying in from Boston (no, really). I tend to write long reviews, but you know how a picture is worth a thousand words? The photo I’m posting is my vibrant, vigorously healthy baby. It took three people to make her: me, my fiancé, & Dr. Rozenn. End of review update. 🙂
Alternatively, for those of you who’d prefer the thousand words:
During a long (Western) workup for what eventually turned out to be hypopituitarism following a concussion injury, I accidentally found out that it was “too late” for me to have children. My worst test result was AMH (Western doctors use this as a measure of ovarian reserve, among other things), but my estrogen, progesterone, FSH, & LH weren’t doing great either. I was in my mid-thirties and, though I looked like i was in my mid-twenties, apparently I was in my mid-forties on the inside.
I freaked out, especially about the AMH. While I could tell myself that the other hormones & my disorganized menstrual cycle might improve as I slowly recovered from the concussion, there was no way around “you’re almost out of eggs”–and as I continued to track my AMH over many months, it just kept ticking down. “The right time” for us to have a kid in the Life Circumstances sense was still in the future, but “the right time” in the Biology sense was back somewhere in my past.
Enter Dr. Rozenn, who talked me down from the AMH Panic Tree as the first order of business. It turns out that, from an Eastern perspective, you can’t really “run out of eggs”; you’re born with about a zillion primordial follicles, & what happens as a woman enters menopause is that her body stops ripening them (not that she runs out). Semi-ripe eggs release AMH, but primordial follicles are silent. My abnormally low AMH didn’t mean I was out of eggs; it just meant I wasn’t ripening very many & so had few eggs in “pipeline” for ovulation. There was a chance my body could be convinced to ripen more eggs–but more importantly, as Dr. Rozenn said, “It only takes one.” By focusing on improving my egg quality, I could make the most of the few ripe eggs I had to work with.
Over a period of months, we refined our approach. Dr. Rozenn treated me with acupuncture; prescribed herbs, vitamins, & supplements; and went over my BBT charts with me. She spent a ton of time going over my lab results (both the standard endocrinologist-ordered stuff & a month-long saliva panel I’d ordered on my own), & explained that–while my numbers weren’t what she’d expect to see in someone my age–my situation was also far from being unsalvageable. We talked, too, about diet: I eat a ton of protein, but I’m mostly vegetarian, & Dr. Rozenn said that if I were willing to eat more fish & take some not-strictly-vegetarian supplements, these things would be beneficial for me. She left the decision up to me, though, and didn’t try to guilt trip me or push me into anything I wasn’t comfortable with. (We tried the supplements; they helped!)
Dr. Rozenn also did me the invaluable favor of listening to me agonize over which I feared more: not being able to get pregnant, or actually getting pregnant. Eventually I realized that my heart wasn’t conflicted at all, & that really what I feared was my family’s disapproval. There’s no acupuncture point for “make your mother not have a coronary about your out-of-wedlock pregnancy,” but Dr. Rozenn’s non-judgemental ear and non-directive advice were the next-best things.
Finally, I started arranging my cross-country flights so that I could see Dr. Rozenn for treatment both before and after I ovulated–and on the second month of doing so, I became pregnant. I knew better than to expect that my first-ever pregnancy would “stick,” but it did! I continued to see Dr. Rozenn monthly and, despite my “advanced maternal age,” had a perfectly low-risk pregnancy that culminated in the successful home birth of an Apgar rockstar. My only regret is not being able to see Dr. Rozenn for that last chunk of third-trimester weeks, because I was too pregnant to fly. 😛
Oh, & P.S.: Just for fun (I have weird ideas about “fun”), I had my doctor test my AMH level when I went in for the bloodwork to confirm my pregnancy–and for the first time, my AMH value had gone up! It was still well outside the reference range for my age group, and nowhere near the 1.1 ng/mL that many fertility clinics require in order to accept patients, but it had more than doubled (and the positive trend was pretty exciting). Now that I’ve carried a pregnancy to term and have this awesome baby, I don’t really care what my AMH level is, but I wanted to mention this point anyway. If you’ve been given the sentence of “poor ovarian reserve,” please don’t despair! Like Dr. Rozenn told me, “it only takes one”–and if my experience is any indication, you may actually be able to change your AMH levels for the better. :)” WEB-Boston
“The effectiveness of your treatments defied all odds.”
I am research scientist, and I have always been a little skeptical about acupuncture and other non-western medical practices. After my experience with Dr. Rozenn, however, I enthusiastically recommend her for the treatment of fertility issues. My husband and I were trying to conceive for the second time and after a year, we saw an M.D. specialist in infertility. He explained that Western medicine had no easy answer for my particular issue (my cycles were short and he suspected I was ovulating before my eggs were mature), and recommended that I try meditation or yoga as a first strategy. He also mentioned that there was a program available that combined standard infertility treatment with acupuncture. After talking to a friend of mine (who recommended Dr. Rozenn), I decided to try acupuncture alone for three months and then reassess my options. Dr. Rozenn was willing to work with me either with or without parallel treatment from my M.D. and was positive but realistic about my chances of conceiving. I appreciated that she did not discount the role of Western medicine in infertility treatment, but I opted for a non-parallel approach. I decided to follow all of her recommendations to the letter so that I would have no doubts at the end of three months that I had given the process my all. I changed my diet, took herbal and other supplements, saw Dr. Rozenn on a weekly basis and opted for abdominal massages from Brianna Brownfield (Dr. Rozenn’s assistant, whom I also enthusiastically recommend). I noticed changes in my cycle within one month of starting my treatments, and within two cycles my standard headache (a hallmark for 12 years), did not accompany my period. During my third cycle since start of treatment, I ovulated on day 14 for the first time in 7 years, and I am now thrilled to say that I am 11 weeks pregnant. I am entirely convinced that it was the treatment program that I pursued with Dr. Rozenn that enabled my husband and I to conceive this baby. If you are in a similar situation, I encourage you to consider Dr. Rozenn and acupuncture as a treatment option. I am so grateful that I was able to conceive without risking multiple births or spending enormous sums on IVF. This experience has convinced me to consider acupuncture among the practices I typically pursue to maintain my general health. Thank you, Dr. Rozenn and Brianna! Rachel S.~Mountain View
I contacted Dr. Rozenn after learning of my miscarriage with my first pregnancy. She was very helpful and reassured me that we could work 
together to cleanse and heal my body in preparation for a future pregnancy. I had never received acupuncture before, but her gentle approach and knowledge about fertility put me at ease right away. In combination with acupuncture and Chinese herbs and Maureen’s expert guidance, I am currently in my second trimester! Sarah R.~Santa Cruz
I want to thank you so much for first of all helping my body be prepared to get pregnant and also helping to sustain the pregnancy. I don’t think I could have done this without your help.–Anonymous~CA
Dr. Rozenn is a confident and capable healer who generously gives her patients all her attention and focus when she is with them. The office environment and the staff (especially Brianna ’cause that’s who I mostly see) are so welcoming and comfortable. The things I especially love about the way she runs her practice: she spends plenty of time at the beginning of each session assessing where I’m at and what I need that day and at that time; she knows what she’s doing and she knows she knows what she’s doing; she doesn’t insist I do anything, she talks me through it. I could go on and on. She’s great and I encourage anyone to begin or continue their journey of healing with her. Bree C.~Moss Landing
I highly recommend Maureen as an acupuncturist. I am currently seeing her for fertility and anxiety issues. She is thorough, listens intently and is so encouraging; I feel so confident that my husband and I will definitely move forward on our fertility journey with ease. Her treatment rooms are quiet and comfortable; I never feel rushed. I feel that for women’s health and fertility you can’t make a better choice than Maureen. Deborah N.~Scotts Valley
“Dr. Maureen is not only kind and compassionate; she is extremely knowledgeable as well. I was given a 15% chance of conception by my fertility doctor, even with IVF! With her help I conceived on the first round and now have a beautiful baby boy. I recommend her to all of my friends for help with general health issues and fertility enhancement.” Sally ~ Santa Cruz
“Dr.Maureen is an excellent acupuncturist. I was seeing her for fertility issues. My first appointment with her lasted about two hours. She listened intently and took notes on everything I had to say. I have been treated by other acupuncturists in an environment that felt too rushed. With several patients waiting in other rooms, I often felt like I was not getting the individual attention I wanted. With Maureen I finally found the attention I was looking for. Each time I have an appointment she spends time checking my pulse and tongue, and asking me questions about my health and recording all of this in my chart. Each acupuncture session is tailored to what my body needs at that time. Her recommendation of diet, herbs and vitamins has helped me immensely. She is an excellent listener to both what I tell her, and what my body tells her. I am so happy I found her and highly recommend her to others seeking fertility treatment. I will update this post as soon as I get pregnant! (update: I now have a 14 month old baby girl. While I did end up using a combination of Western medicine and acupuncture in the end, I still feel my experience with Maureen during that time was a crucial part of building my health)” Jenny ~ Aptos.
“Dr. Rozenn is an incredible doctor and a blessing to my family. I am continually amazed by how quickly she can solve problems, many that have been bothering me for years. For example, I have struggled with chronic body pain for years after several car accidents. I had been living with the pain under the assumption that there was nothing I could do about it. It had just become a part of my life. Dr. Rozenn suggested a completely sugar free, organic, whole grain diet, a daily regimen of Chinese herbs and vitamins and regular acupuncture treatments. To my surprise, in less than two months my body pain is non-existent! Her couples fertility program is really excellent. She is treating my husband and me simultaneously and we are already seeing improvements in our fertility. No baby yet, but thanks to Dr. Rozenn we are very hopeful for the future. She is very sensitive and comprehensive in her fertility treatments, which I appreciate because it is such an emotional roller coaster to be trying to conceive. I feel like she is my fertility therapist as well as my fertility doctor. Above all, she is a master of her craft and an absolute professional. I am constantly impressed by how she knows what is going on in my body better than I even do, and how she can erase a headache or a sore muscle with one well placed needle. I especially appreciate that she is a teacher of acupuncture. As a teacher myself, I know that in order to teach something to others, your own knowledge of the subject has to be that much deeper and more complete. She embodies this in every way and as I watch her work I know that I am in the best possible hands.
In addition, the office is warm, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing, with an inviting, zen feeling to it. Her staff is friendly, helpful and warm. I have to give a special nod to Erin, Dr. Rozenn’s “apprentice” (I’m not sure if that is what she calls herself, but it seems to be the proper title to me). Erin is so welcoming and friendly, she feels more like a friend then a doctor’s assistant. I often find myself chatting with her for lengthy periods of time after my appointment ends.
All in all I cannot speak more highly of Endless Possibilities Acupuncture, Dr. Rozenn or her staff. They are caring, highly trained, warm, sensitive masters of their craft and anyone who is smart enough to consider acupuncture could find no better source of treatment.” Kyle ~ Santa Cruz
“Dr. Maureen is a talented traditional Chinese medical practitioners. In a city with hundreds of TCM practitioners, she stands out.”
“She helped me achieve health, balance, and conception. We have a healthy baby, and I’m extremely grateful for Maureen’s care.” Sarah C ~ Santa Cruz
“After years of dealing with fertility issues and various doctors, acupuncturist and Reproductive Endocrinologist, we saw Dr. Rozenn and were so grateful we did! She is the fertility “guru” in Santa Cruz and she knows her shit!
“After seeking her advice as well as a new RE, we combined both Western and Eastern medicine and it worked well in our favor. We now have healthy and beautiful 18month old twins!”
“My husband and I both followed her advice and program she designed specifically for our needs. We changed our diet and took recommended supplements and herbs. I noticed a tremendous change in my menstrual cramps, I had always had severely painful cramps and she was able to help change that through her treatments and recommended diet changes that I continue to follow. She is very accommodating and understanding to what will work with your regime when she gives advice and suggestions. My husbands sperm motility improved and he felt healthier overall.”
“We owe Dr. Rozenn an incredible amount of gratitude. We would not be here today with our twins without her help, support and love. She gives her all into her work and is so dedicated to helping you achieve your dream”.
Dr. Rozenn Rocks!!!” Terra P. ~ Santa Cruz.
“The long term outcome of Asymptomatic Endometriosis left my pelvis and gait in a catastrophe, with much difficulty walking and performing daily life. Dr. Rozenn has been my miracle worker. Since then I continue to get tune ups and work with her on other issues as well that arise with life. I’ve seen many really good acupuncturists in my time but none that surpass Dr. Rozenn. I can relax knowing she is in my corner for superior health care.” AK~ Aptos
“Dr.Rozen is different from other acupuncturists. She uses a different methodology that gives powerful, effective results that you may not be getting with tradition chinese acupuncture. Her office is also gorgeous, newly remodeled, welcoming and kind staff. When I first met with her I felt like she was very through and attentive with my history and concerns. She answered all my questions in a simple straight-froward manner and did her best to explain the entire process and what her objectives were.
Irregular/Painful Periods
“I felt so much better after my appointment with you yesterday. I think the treatment you gave me really helped. Today I feel a shift and the world’s worst period has started to subside. Thank you for your gifts of healing, I so appreciate all that you do.”–Anonymous
“Dr. Rozenn is truly the most knowledgeable and conscientious healthcare provider that I have ever had the pleasure of going to (and I have seen numerous western medical doctors and specialists and alternative practitioners such as naturopathic physicians and chiropractors). The environment that she creates is very supportive and allows you to feel very comfortable in being candid with her regarding your health concerns. I have been a regular patient of Dr. Rozenn’s for only 2 1/2 months and I already feel like I have made remarkable progress. In this relatively brief period of time, Dr. Rozenn has been able to help me with some longstanding issues related to digestive problems and menstrual irregularities; I was amazed by how quickly I started to notice positive results from her treatments. Also, her evening and weekend office hours and online appointment system are very convenient. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rozenn to my friends or family members.” Jess S.~Santa Cruz
“I have been under care with Dr. Rozenn for 7 months now dealing with the repercussions of endometriosis. She has made enumerable shifts and changes in my health taking me from daily pain and immobility to pain-free through acupuncture, herbs and diet changes. I highly recommend Dr. Rozenn for what ails you as she is quite a competent and compassionate healer who deeply listens to her patient and responds accordingly. She makes every effort to see that you are cozy and comfortable throughout each treatment. Her office is also very warm and inviting; she takes care in all aspects of her practice. Her front desk staff is also quite competent, very helpful, welcoming and friendly. I honestly mean that she is a five star health care provider. Thank you Dr. Rozenn for all that you have done to restore my former health and beyond:-)” Zandra K.-Santa Cruz.
