“Working with Meg has been an absolute pleasure. Meg provides her clients with the best of both alternative and allopathic medicine — she is empathic and intuitive as well as knowledgeable and highly skilled. This rare combination of warmth and rigor makes her an exemplary practitioner, in my view. Meg's expertise goes far beyond acupuncture; her thoughtful advice to me about my nutritional and sleep habits has been as crucial and helpful as the acupuncture and herbs she's prescribed. I always leave Meg's office with a sense of wellness, of being truly cared for, which is completely unique in my experience.”
— J. Penner, Financial Editor


“Meg is one of the most well-rounded practitioners I know. She is well versed in current eastern and western practices and incorporates philosophies and methods for treating mind/body/spirit. I have met few practitioners as passionate about their work!”
— Jennifer Wallace, RN, HNP Director of Holistic Services, The NYU Fertility Center


“I went to Meg Richichi at a time when pure Western medicine had failed me in my quest to conceive. I decided to put a plan into action that involved changing my medical doctor and pursuing acupuncture. Meg was recommended by a doctor friend who had researched the best acupuncturists in the city. I wish I could say I was immediately drawn in but the truth is Meg’s programs requires the kind of commitment that given my already hectic New York schedule seemed to take more out of me than I could handle: Regular weekly visits to an office that was neither near my office nor near my home, vitamins, herbs, plenty of water, and a change of diet that included not only daily green shakes but a commitment to eat regularly, which I was never good at it. I stuck with it and attribute my conception and healthy pregnancy to God, my doctors, and Meg’s awesome regimen and encouragement. I was so pleased I went back for more and am now 5 months pregnant with my second child. And I don’t know if it’s just my constitution or Meg’s acupuncture (which I did 6 weeks into both pregnancies) but I also never experienced a day of morning sickness. I so highly recommend her I’ve sent other friends to her.” — Dawn Davis, Mother


“I went to see Meg after about six months of not getting pregnant and then experiencing a miscarriage. Meg's focus was on making me a healthier person in order to conceive, have a healthy pregnancy and baby. Through her nurturing spirit, guidance and treatment, I became pregnant within two months with my beautiful son, Max. I am now back in treatment, hoping for baby number two!” — Audrey Ammirati, mom to Max


“On August 15th, I gave birth to an amazing little boy. A year ago, I was doubtful if I would ever get pregnant without serious medical assistance. I started seeing Meg last August and it was one of the best choices that I ever made. My husband and I had just started trying to get pregnant, but were being told by my OBGYN that I would probably need IVF due to my history of endometriosis. My OB was so ready to prescribe the drugs but I didn't want to jump the gun. I was really hoping that I would be able to conceive naturally. When I first met Meg, I had a hard time accepting the fact that I wouldn't be able to try getting pregnant immediately. But, after 1 month of following Meg's program, I saw incredible results. For the first time in 16 years, I was cramp free and not on birth control. I felt physically healthier and mentally lighter. After 3 months, we were ready to start trying. I knew that it might take up to 6 months for anything to happen... but we were lucky. We conceived in the first month. Meg was a joy to work with. She is honest and tells it like it is. I think it's hard for some women to come to terms with what they need to change in their lives...but if you want a child badly enough, you will make those changes. Meg's approach was such a refreshing change from the cold, drug focused approach of my OB. I truly believe that with acupuncture alone we would not have achieved such quick results. Meg's combination of lifestyle, diet, herbs and acupuncture was like a miracle cure for me. I would recommend her to any of my dearest friends as I know they would be in great hands! We are hoping to have another child in the next few years and wouldn't work with anyone else but Meg!”

“After my first IVF failed I was an absolute mess, it was definitely the worst time in my life. I made a promise to myself that I was going to do whatever was in my power to better my chances for my next cycle. A nurse recommended I try acupuncture and gave me Meg's number, I was skeptical but I figured it couldn't hurt. I remember my first meeting with Meg, I was sobbing during most of it, I just wanted to have a baby so badly. Meg was wonderful; so compassionate and caring, and somehow she managed to help calm my nerves, which believe me was no easy task. I could not believe the difference acupuncture made for my second IVF cycle, my egg quality improved dramatically, and I was in a much better place mentally. The outcome of my IVF cycle couldn't have been better, I am thrilled to say that I am the proud Mommy of a beautiful baby girl! I am convinced that working with Meg helped my dreams come true! My husband and I would love to have more children and our next IVF cycle will definitely include Meg, I am a skeptic no more!”
— Janine Volpe, Mother


"Working with Meg was a wonderful experience. I had experienced four unsuccessful donor egg IVF procedures. Prior to the fifth (and final) procedure I was referred to Meg. Her approach is a total mental and physical experience in that all aspects of your life are considered when preparing a program for you. I learned that the foods that I ate together with the stress in my lifestyle were contributing factors in my inability to become pregnant. The nutritional supplements she recommended coupled with the acupuncture treatments created the perfect environment within my body for a baby. I truly believe that working with Meg allowed me to realize my dream of becoming a mother."
