“Jennifer has a passion and love for childbirth that is essential to working with women in labor. She draws from her vast knowledge and experience to help women have the birth experience they want. Her respect and awe of the birth process is evident and her ability to be with women in each changing moment is vital to this process. Her commitment to natural birth and to each individual woman’s needs is reflected in her extensive knowledge of labor and birth treatments. She adds a healing and positively energetic presence to birth.”

“My daughter (now four) had eczema for over two years that did not respond to Western oral medications andcreams, and quite frankly I was at wit’s end. Hereczema was so terrible — she frequently scratched ather skin, had sores on her arms and legs and sleptpoorly due to discomfort. I decided to try anEastern approach and took her to see JenniferPaschen. My daughter’s skin responded immediately totreatment with acupuncture and herbs. In addition,Jennifer taught us about the importance of eatingproper healing foods for my daughter’s condition. Notonly did her skin respond well to the treatments anddietary changes, but her entire temperament and sleephabits improved as well. My daughter looks forwardto her appointments with Jennifer and we refer to heracupuncture treatments as getting ‘fairy kisses.’”

“Jennifer, how can I thank you enough for the support you gave us through the pregnancy, labor and delivery of Elenor? We would have never managed without you, for sure. Your faith in our ability to make it through was so valuable. You really are a gem.”

“My life is completely turned around since I started receiving treatments from Kimberly. I have had digestive problems and pain from endometriosis for as long as I can remember. I’d pretty much accepted it, until the pain started interfering with my everyday life. I noticed a difference almost immediately. My whole body feels better. My health has improved in so many ways-things that I wasn’t even trying to fix! My skin cleared up, my cycle was regulated, and of course, my digestive system is functioning properly again. The pain from the endometriosis has subsided as well. And the second best part of all of this is that there are no side effects. This is not a prescription for symptoms, this is a solution to problems!”

“I credit my healthy pregnancy to Kimberly Zebick. I had difficulty conceiving and keeping a pregnancy until I began acupuncture with Kimberly. She was professional and compassionate and her care extended beyond our appointments. Her advice about diet and its effect on fertility was invaluable. I would recommend her to anyone.”
- Jane
“I have known Kimberly for years in both a personal as well as a professional capacity. She is a highly competent practitioner who successfully integrates her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, conventional Western Medicine and high-level nutrition in order to benefit her patients. She takes her professional training very seriously and is up-to-date on the latest research and approaches.
Professional excellence aside, Kimberly is a warm and compassionate person. Her dedication to her healing practice is fueled by a deep commitment to helping people maximize their health by optimizing the mind-body system. She’s a genuine person and it’s a joy to be in her company regardless of whether it’s as a friend or a colleague. I would recommend her to my own patients without hesitation.”

“Thankfully, Jennifer came to us at the drop of a hat to help me bring our beautiful baby into this world. I was having troubles getting my contractions to kick in after a 24-hour lapse of time since my water had broke. My doctor was hot on my tail waiting for progress so Jennifer poked and zapped me where it counts and brought me from a 4cm to 6cm dilation just in time to keep the doc at bay. Athenia was out in no time.”

“My husband and I decided we’d like to expand our family and have another child. We had struggled with infertility in the past and knew we didn’t want to go the route of invasive medical treatments again! I had luck with acupuncture for other health issues in the past and contacted The Nest for help in regulating my menstrual cycle and helping my body achieve optimum health for conception. Well, 5 weeks later we had a positive pregnancy test! Thanks to Jennifer for everything!!”
- Kim
“I started seeing Jennifer for treatments after suffering four consecutive miscarriages in a year. Needless to say I was an emotional and physical wreck. After my initial consultation, Jennifer recommended weekly acupuncture treatments, a modified diet and herbs. What struck me the most at my first visit was what a good listener Jennifer was. I felt that for the first time I was really being heard, something I had not experienced with my western doctor. The atmosphere at The Nest really helped put me at ease during what was a very difficult time. The space is clean and peaceful and I always left feeling very relaxed. I started to feel stronger and more balanced very soon after our first session. I conceived again after a couple months of treatments. I am very happy to say that I am now 28 weeks pregnant and every indication is that this baby is doing great. I feel that the care and consultation I received under Jennifer are a big part of this success and would recommend her to anyone who was suffering from similar problems.”

“Jennifer helped me through acupuncture to dilate from 7cm to 10cm, in about 30 minutes, after my labor had stalled out. If she had not been present at my birth, I would have likely been in labor for at least a few more hours and/or faced unwanted medical interventions. If a woman were attempting to have a natural childbirth experience, I would highly recommend Jennifer Paschen. Not only is she an amazing acupuncturist, for the above reasons, but also during labor she offers tremendous support since she too delivered a child naturally. She is also helpful postpartum in getting your body to return to a healthy state. I am thankful that I have her in my life!”

“I approached acupuncture for fertility after having tried to conceive on my own for six months. I was frustrated with the traditional medical advice of my doctor, who would have placed me on fertility drugs immediately, in light of my irregular cycles. I wasn’t ready to give up on my body and I wanted move forward, which brought me to The Nest. Not only did Jennifer’s treatments address the symptoms of my infertility, they also sought to alleviate the root of the problem. This method had a wonderful calming effect on my overall sense of well being and I’m sure contributed to my success in finally achieving pregnancy, naturally, after about four months of treatment. Alleviating the anxiety associated with infertility is a huge part of the battle, and I can’t say enough good things about the high level of care and attention that I received at The Nest.”

“Kimberly has changed my life. From acupuncture treatments for anxiety & stress reduction to nutrition advice for my body – I really do not know what I would do without her in my life. Now, that I am pregnant, I am finding that her knowledge and experience has allowed me to coast through my my first trimester with hardly any issues. I also have to give Kimberly some credit for giving me a well balanced body – otherwise, i’m not sure we would have conceived so fast!
Kimberly’s dedication to her job and concern for the well being of others is something that cannot be matched.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly to anyone who is in need of a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate practitioner.
Breastfeeding my daughter led to a serious case of tendonitis in my wrist. This is not uncommon among breastfeeding mothers who spend many hours per day holding their child’s head at one particular angle, or new parents who are using their wrists in different ways than before to lift and carry their babies.
I am so grateful to Kimberly for healing me! Before her treatments, I was experiencing intense pain at the slightest of movements. After less than 4 months of acupuncture and herbal treatments, my wrist is completely healed. I was able to avoid surgery, which my doctor prescribed as the only way to cure the tendonitis. Yay Kimberly!”

“At the “ripe” maternal age of 39, I decided it was high time to pursue my goal of having a baby. Fearing the worst for having waited so long, I decided to seek a competent acupuncturist to balance my system before officially trying to conceive.
More than luck was on my side when I met Kimberly. Not only did she patiently hold my hand throught the ups and downs of my fertility journey, she also carefully selected the absolute best treatments to give us our desired result – a healthy little bun in the oven!!
Throughout my pregnancy, I continued to see Kimberly regularly for morning sickness and general support. And when the big day arrived, Kimberly joined forces with my labor team and provided most exquisite pain relief!!!!
Now that my little one has arrived, I have enjoyed precious few acupuncture treatments, but they are always with Kimberly. I have, and will continue to, recommend this very competent and skilled provider to all women in need of Chinese Medical based healing.”

“Kimberly has changed our lives. Her treatments are remarkable and her advice on nutrition and other lifestyle habits support our overall well being. Kimberly has empowered us to have an active role in our own health and well being. She has helped us with everything from allergies to high blood pressure to remaining cancer free. We are grateful for her!”

“I have genuinely appreciated Kimberly’s intuitive and professional expertise in finding the best treatments for my needs!”

“I had been reading about how acupuncture has helped a lot of women with infertility and I thought I wouldgive it a try. I told myself that I needed to try everything possible before resorting to IVF. I started seeing Jennifer for acupuncture and after my first treatment, I was hooked. Not only did I feel calm, but I was sleeping better at night and my periods became very regular and I was more focused and less stressed out. Much to our pleasure, after about 16 acupuncture treatments, my husband and I became pregnant NATURALLY. I REALLY believe it was because of the benefits of acupuncture.”
- Claire
“I am 40 years old and had been trying for 1 1/2 years to get pregnant. I was told by a reproductive endocrinologist that I didn’t ovulate and I needed to have IVF. I refused to believe that I needed such an invasive treatment to do something that my body knew how to do naturally. I turned to Jennifer Paschen at The Nest. Through twice-weekly acupuncture sessions, herbal therapy and small diet changes I was thrilled to find myself pregnant only two months after starting treatment!
“Jennifer and her staff are wonderful, wise, caring people. I feel that they are truly my partners in my health, well-being and now my pregnancy. The Nest is a warm, inviting space with an aura of calm and hope. I recommend The Nest to anyone who is dealing with reproductive issues or who just wants to take control of their health.”

“My pregnancy has been infinitely more pleasant because of acupuncture. I wouldn’t have gotten through it so smoothly without it. I’d had lower back pain since the beginning and nothing would make it feel better, I couldn’t even sleep. The FIRST treatment made my back pain almost disappear. I was amazed! Everything that has been a discomfort up to this point has been addressed by Kimberly’s treatments. Looking past my own comfort, my pregnancy has been very smooth and there have been no problems or issues, which I also thank acupuncture for.”
