Bladder control issues such as urgency or dribbling

Pain from an episiotomy or scarring from a C-section

“So thankful to have found Dr. Fischler!”After years of battling endometriosis, she has improved my symptoms more than I ever thought possible without surgical intervention! I highly recommend her expertise and kind bed side manor.

"Huge asset to your team of heath providers.”I have experienced tremendous improvement with my various issues (endometriosis, infertility, miscarriage, anxiety, back pain and fatigue). I will continue to see her as long as I am able! She is a true delight. If you’re looking for help with hormone-related matters (or otherwise) she will be a huge asset to your team of heath providers!

“Dr. Kiné Fischler is extremely knowledgeable and talented. I highly recommend her!” Dr. Kiné Fischler helped me through a time of extreme pain and stress caused by women's health issues (fibroids, cramps, etc.). After surgery in 2014, pain returned in 2018, 2019 and into 2020. My OBGYN was out of ideas so I turned to acupuncture and I am so glad I did. While I feel mostly healed now, I still want to go back because my overall wellbeing is enhanced by going. Acupuncture works wonders for stress and anxiety in addition to physical ailments.

“I am so grateful for the care I received at Willow Tree!”Before coming to Willow Tree Acupuncture and Wellness Clinic, I struggled with bad PMS causing anxiety, dizziness and constipation; few days before my period I would feel like I was about to faint, I felt bloated and when my period started I always had significant pain, period was long and a heavy. I came to Willow Tree wellness center. Kine was very attentive, took her time to understand my concerns and developed treatment that was right for me combining herbs and acupuncture. I have been seeing Kine for several months now and feel so much better, my bowl movement has improved, anxiety and dizziness has diminished significantly. My period became almost painless and shorter.
