Lou, I have been to alice. I think I put dusty onto her. I have not had the herbs that you boil from her, but I have had lots of the little black pills. she is very traditional as she was trained in china. she puts her fingers on your wrist to feel your pulse to diagnose whether you might be pregnant or have enough "energy" to get pregnant.
She does have a few patients going at the one time but her husband is her "receptionist" and he is lovely and usually comes in to take the needles out. i am sure he would come in and check on you regularly if you needed it.
she won't let you take certain herbs while having IVF hormones and seems to thoroughly understand the IVF cycles. she gives you a program of ap prior to transfer, straight after then day 3, 6 and 9 after transfer. (i think that is correct, the memory is a bit dim now)
