“Jamie,
I decided to seek acupuncture treatment after several failed attempts with traditional medicine to alleviate pain from menstrual cycles and control hormonal issues. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I was willing to try anything. I experienced relief after just a few sessions with you. Through treatment, you not only treated my problems but improved the quality of my life. I sleep better, have more energy and less stress & anxiety. Acupuncture has truly changed my life.”

“I was scheduled to have abdominal surgery when I had my first appointment with Jamie for Acupuncture. I had been having severe abdominal pain, severe nausea, lightheadness and extreme hot flashes. These symptoms had been going on for more than a year and a half. I had undergone 4 CT scans, a colonoscopy, abdominal X-Rays, EGD, and many other GI tests and lab procedures. Unfortunately even with all of the testing the doctors weren’t able to come up with a real answer. The best guess they came up with was that I had abdominal adhesions, from previous surgeries. The doctors felt that was the cause of the abdominal pain. It still didn’t answer the question regarding my other symptoms. I was taking 3 different types of anti-nausea medications. I am unable to tolerate pain medication and stay awake so that was not an option. My quality of life was near zero. I never had a day that I actually felt good.
It was during my pre-surgical visit the doctor informed me that he could fix my abdominal pain for only a short period of time and there were no guarantees. In our discussion the surgeon actually suggested acupuncture. He stated, “sometimes east has to meet west for an answer”.
I was very doubtful. I have been a nurse for 30 years. Acupuncture was really a foreign concept for me. I, like many others, think that a drug or procedure will fix all of our symptoms. I have learned that is not true. I scheduled the surgery. I went home and discussed that conversation with my husband and son who felt I should go for it. I still was reluctant and thought about it for a few days. Both my husband and my son’s thoughts were; go with an open mind, you have nothing to lose and if it avoids surgery that’s a good thing.
I contacted Jamie to make my first appointment. We discussed my entire history, symptoms and medications very thoroughly. I then had my first treatment, the needles are not painful. It is actually a very relaxing experience. I started my treatments by going twice a week and it was amazing within two weeks I started to feel better. I was able to begin some of my normal activities. My drug intake of anti-nausea meds was greatly reduced. I continued with the twice a week treatments for a period of a couple of months. The better I felt led to once a week for a couple of months. I am currently going once every two weeks. I am 99.9% better. I still have some days where I may have a problem. If I do it only lasts for a couple of hours and passes without a need for medication. My quality of life is completely normal and I have no limitations.
I did cancel that abdominal surgery. I was not 100% sure of this treatment before I started. Now I tell everyone I know about it and suggest they go for any number of symptoms. I can honestly say, I am not sure how it works but it really truly does and Jamie is wonderful. She is very warm, compassionate, knowledgeable and willing to help in any way that she can. I have been undergoing acupuncture treatment for almost a year now. No matter how I feel when I go in, I know I will always feel much better after the visit. I personally recommend Jamie and her style of acupuncture treatment. It really does work!”

“Jamie,
I came to see you after several failed attempts to get pregnant both naturally and with the help of infertility specialists and severe migraines that I would get almost daily and would last for long periods of time. You were very thorough in your examination and diagnosis and developed a treatment plan that was flexible with my schedule and expense plan. You always took the time to explain everything thoroughly to me and usually provided literature on specific techniques or remedies.
Since coming to you, my headaches are almost non existent and I am happy to say that I'm 3 months pregnant. I’ll continue to see you to continue my treatments and you have now helped with my all day sickness and any other acute maladies (i.e. colds, sinus issues, back issues). I trust and believe in you so much that I now bring my 8 year old daughter to see you for treatment. I have also recommended you to friends and family including my husband who also saw positive results. I think you are a great acupuncturist and person who can really help people.”

I decided to try accupuncture after many months of unsuccessfully trying to conceive and not having normal periods. I have a friend that swears by acupuncture so I decided to give it a try. My first consultation with Jamie was extremely thorough and really linked all of my symptoms in a way that my doctor had been unable to do. Within a month of seeing Jamie I got my period after not having one for several months and now 3 months later I am pregnant with our first baby! Not only did Chinese Medicine (and Jamie) help with my infertility issues but it also helped with stress, fatigue, and getting a good night's sleep. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone - it's easy, relaxing and has amazing results!

“I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in 2007. Since then I have been taking several drugs and hormones to help regulate my periods, but I saw no improvement. The next step was to see a fertility specialist, which meant more drugs and procedures. I was convinced that I would not be able to have my own child, or that I would have to pay thousands of dollars for artificial methods that had at best a 50/50 chance of working. I decided to take a different approach to healing. I had heard great things about acupuncture and I was willing to try it. I looked up acupuncturists around the Jacksonville area that worked with women who have infertility issues, and I found Jamie. After several months of treatment, I was finally ovulating. Jamie gave me hope that my body could work and that my husband and I could start a family. On March 1, 2010 (four months after I first met Jamie) I had a positive pregnancy test. I don’t think I have the words to thank her for helping me with my miracle.
With Thanks,

“Hi Jamie,
After suffering from severe neck pain for 6 years, I decided to try acupuncture. I was skeptical at first, really did not think anything could help me. After the first treatment, I was able to sleep the night through without pain. After a few treatments, I was feeling back to normal again. You have allowed me to live my life without pain, and for that I am very grateful. I’ll still continue to see you, not only because you helped me with my pain management, but because you still continue to help me with my overall health.”
Thank you Jamie!

“Jamie, it was so refreshing to have someone take the time to talk to me and analyze my symptoms thoroughly before any treatment was performed. You formed a "recovery plan" for my bulging disc including a combination of acupuncture, an herbal remedy, cupping, heat treatment and massage. So, I really got a lot more than I first thought. After a month and a half, my back feels great!”

“Prior to receiving acupuncture by Jamie, several doctors said that I had no treatment options for my severe foot pain. I have tried many treatments for this pain in the past 3 years with no relief. After just one visit with Jamie and an acupuncture treatment, I felt some relief for the first time in a long time. With each visit, I notice improvements that are so monumental I feel as if I have received the miracle I so desperately needed. I now have hope for a life without pain, and know that acupuncture is the reason. Not only did this treatment help with my chronic foot pain, but also with my health as a whole. I now feel better than I have in years! Jamie provides a very friendly and comfortable environment while providing a service and educating her clients on how to obtain a healthy and positive life.”

“After trying to get pregnant for several months with no luck, I decided to seek the help of an infertility doctor. I was put on hormones so that I would produce more eggs, still no luck. I knew artificial insemination or invitro fertilization would be right around the corner for me.
I stumbled upon Jamie’s website and decided to make an appointment. I immediately started acupuncture and took a break from all the hormones. After a few months of acupuncture and Chinese herbs and my body being free of all the synthetic hormones, I found out I was pregnant! This was one of the happiest days of my life, to realize we had gotten pregnant without artificial help, and with the aid of acupuncture! I always looked forward to the sessions of acupuncture at Jamie's office.
Acupuncture is helping us bring a healthy life into this world! I am grateful I had the opportunity to try this holistic method. It was the best decision I ever made.”

“I decided to seek out acupuncture after being diagnosed with PCOS by my OBGYN last year. It was a horrible experience to say the least…being offered no information by my doctor as to what this was or why I had it. I set out to get second opinions from several other doctors. During my research, I started networking online with other women across the country who were also diagnosed with PCOS. Many of them told me to seek out acupuncture. I was skeptical at first…but figured what do I have to lose? I started looking around online and stumbled across Jamie’s website. After chatting briefly over the phone, she made me feel so comfortable and reassured me that I was going to be fine. Something I hadn’t heard from anyone else! Having PCOS, I was told my fertility would be affected, which was a huge concern for my husband and I. So I mentioned this to Jamie at our first appointment in addition to discussing the PCOS. She started me out with treatments for the PCOS symptoms that I was experiencing with some fertility treatments mixed in. After having more blood work done by my new doctor, she cleared me as being PCOS free…it was truly amazing! I continued my treatments with Jamie and three months later found out I was pregnant! I truly do believe that acupuncture was the answer to my prayers…and for that I am so very grateful to Jamie and her continued support.”

“Seeing Jamie was my first experience with being treated with Chinese Medicine/accupuncture. I had heard many positive comments regarding its effectiveness and was excited about trying it. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for over two years and we wanted to try a more natural and less invasive approach than western medicine provides. Jamie is very knowledgeable and experienced and her kind and caring manner put both my husband and me right at ease. The treatments were relaxing and therapeutic and I never experienced any pain or discomfort. I could see changes and improvements with my symptoms quite shortly after starting treatment. And, the best evidence for the effectiveness of Chinese Medicine: I became pregnant within just a few months! Thanks, Jamie!”

I have known Jamie Catlett for over 16 years and while growing up with her I would have never of thought she would help me get pregnant, much less coach me through the whole process. I always had irregular menstrual cycles and was recently told by my obgyn that I did not ovulate, and that I had mini cysts on my ovaries. After trying Clomid and having an unsuccessful experience the doctor wanted me move onto more advanced injections of hormones. Nervous about the injections I turned to my friend Jamie for advice and comfort and she explained to me that she could help with acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. I started acupuncture right away. After my first visit I felt relaxed, calm, and had confidence that this would work. After only three months of treatments I‘m happy to say I’m 6 weeks pregnant.
I am eternally grateful to Jamie for the support and the best gift of all… a baby. Thank you

After 2 failed IVF attempts we decided to contact Jamie before we had our third IVF. Jamie was very polite and supportive in every way possible. She goes beyond being an acupuncturist, she became an very special friend to us during this rough road.We only ended up with 2 eggs and only one fertilzed I just knew that our chances were slim to none as far as getting pregnat with this cycle.Jamie remained postived and encouraged me to do the same.I called her came to my transfer on an Sunday morning, she did acupuncture before and after my transfer.We are 8 wks pregnat now and I believe that Jamie being there for our transfer played the biggest part in our BFP.There are no words that I can say to let Jamie know how truly thankful we are for her friendship, words of encouragment and expertise in her field.
