My husband and I began seeing Gina after 2 ½ years of trying to conceive.  During that time we had two miscarriages, seven months of Clomid, and one round of IUI.  Our infertility specialist had run all the usual tests and did exploratory surgery.  His diagnosis was “unexplained infertility”.  Western Medicine was causing us stress and anxiety, and for me, depression.  After reading a couple books on the mind-body connection and infertility we decided to give Eastern Medicine a try.

We chose Gina over other practitioners because of her expertise in using acupuncture to treat infertility.  Gina put us at ease during our initial consultation.  Committing to treatments requires both time (Gina told us to give her treatments at least six months) and dedication (there were a LOT of dietary rules, herbs, and home procedures for us to follow).  Each week Gina’s acupuncture and massage treatments, plus her positive attitude, helped me feel peaceful and positive.  Whether I got pregnant or not, I knew I was improving the health of my body and I was happy to be trying a new avenue toward parenthood. 

As it turns out, we became pregnant after seeing Gina for only about two weeks. I continued to see Gina until I delivered.  During each visit Gina would take my pulses, check my tongue, and do other diagnostics to reassure me that my baby was growing healthy.  Gina’s treatment plan was design not only to make help our baby grow healthy and strong inside me but also create a baby that would nurse and sleep well.  Our end result was a perfect baby boy born in November 2008.  We have heard comments from nearly every person we’ve met that he is a supremely calm, even-tempered, happy baby.  Our son has slept through the night since about four months old.  He has always nursed very well and never had colic.  We feel like we won the baby lottery with how easy it is to parent him.  We think all the moxibustion and acupuncture treatments while he was developing directly resulted in his calm demeanor.

If we decide to try for a second baby, our first visit will be to Gina before we even try to conceive.  We wish you luck on your journey, wherever it leads you.

Gina has helped me to experience something I was beginning to think was impossible.  I had been trying to conceive a baby for nearly 5 years.  I had done everything I thought was possible undergoing impersonal western medicine treatments such as Clomid and IUI several times with only disappointment.  I was heartbroken and felt like there had to be a solution to this "infertility" issue I was experiencing besides invasive and costly procedures like Invitro.  I did some research and read about the benefits of Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine, that was when I found Gina!  From the very first time I walked into her office I felt understood and comfortable.  She was caring and warm during a sensitive time in my life.  I saw changes in me and my body that I'd not ever known were possible.  I followed her protocol precisely and conceived after only 2.5 months, my husband and I were ecstatic!!  Under her care I was thrilled to go on to have a healthy pregnancy and a quick natural labor and delivery.  I am so immensely thankful to Gina for helping us to start our family.  I continue to see her for my and my baby's general health and recommend her highly!

I am writing this to assure anyone considering the benefits from alternative medicine and the care of Gina Musetti understands that they are under the care of a caring, confident professional. 

In April of 2007 I was experiencing many different health issues, from mental to physical as a result of an injury and a bitter, painful divorce.  None of the treatment methods from my doctor and psychiatrist were working and I felt as if I had hit a wall.  Thinking that conventional medicine was not enough; I searched for alternative methods of healing.

An Internet search of methods lead to Gina’s website.  I read the information in it and liked her message, the chance I took proved to be the best move I had made in some time.

I started having sessions once a week beginning in May, and within six weeks notable changes in my mood and injuries began to surface.  I found myself in a situation for the first time in several years where I was finally getting better.  I continued my sessions and found that Gina not only could treat my physical problems but also helped me to work through other issues in my life. 

I would recommend Gina to all interested in alternative medicine as an extra means to attain good health.  Gina encouraged me to take control of my own health by playing an active roll in my treatment plan.  Once I took control with Gina’s help my health changed as night turns into day.  Gina allowed me to communicate honestly without fear of judgment and she easily explains what is happening and how to fix it.

I will be leaving Hawaii soon to move to the mainland and my only fear is that if I may need help again that I hope I can find another Gina Musetti.

After following a conventional 6 week program of rest and stretching prescribed by conventional doctors following a baseball injury, our son was still unable to throw or bat even for short periods.  The original diagnosis was a torn rhomboid muscle, that by conventional wisdom, should have healed on its own.  Frustrated at the lack of progress and no favorable prognosis, I searched for an alternative.  Having had previous success with non-traditional medicine, I researched the options in Honolulu and found Gina.  From our first visit, she set us at ease, treated our son, and within 10 days he was playing in a major baseball tournament on the West coast.  Now, several months later, he is back to playing and practicing on a regular basis with periodic visits to Gina’s clinic for follow-up.  Her treatments are focused, effective, and address individual needs.  She is caring, dependable, and sensitive to the needs of the patient, Gina uses Eastern methods to heal while epitomizing the fundamentals of the Hippocratic oath; “First, do no harm”.  I’m a firm believer in alternative medicine through personal experience and not only trust Gina to treat my needs, I trust her to treat my son.

I met Gina, in the early 1990's, while attending San Francisco State University. The point of departure for our friendship was our deep commitment to Art and Holistic Health. Soon after meeting Gina she began practicing different modalities on me which augmented what I had been doing on my own. Because I knew how passionate Gina was at working towards becoming a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and how dedicated she was/is to her patients it was easy for me to trust her when she would make suggestions or teach me something that would bring me closer to my goals of health and understanding. Gina has been a blessing in my life she is one of the most centered generous human beings I have met and I see our friendship as one of life's truest gifts. If the truth be told, at this moment, I want to jet out to Honolulu for a visit with my loving friend and a much needed Acupuncture and Chi Nei Tsang treatment.

Gina is an amazing acupuncturist! I have been receiving treatments from her since 2001 and I feel safe and assured under her care. Gina is gifted and intuitive in her knowledge of the "Wisdom of the Body" which has been very helpful in teaching me about what my body is telling me about myself which helps me with my long term health, not just short term symptom relief. Even from the very first treatment I had an amazing experience with Gina's Tui Na massage and acupuncture in the lessening of my chronic back pain. Thanks Gina!!

My Encounter with acupuncturist Gina Musetti came after my husband and I had been trying to conceive for 7 years. When my husband and I married I was already 28 years old and we knew that we wanted a family, we were both healthy and thought that pregnancy and a baby would come to us quickly and easily.  This was not the case. After trying on our own for about 4 years we decided to try IUI, there was no problem with me or my husband, since we had been trying for so many years already we were diagnosed as “unexplained infertility” and it was recommended that IUI with fertility drugs could help.  After 5 IUIs the doctors recommended IVF.  We did not feel that we were ready for that step, so we decided to take a break.  Though my family is Vietnamese we did not know anything about acupuncture related to fertility.  My husband began seeing Gina for a back problem that he had from work, the treatments helped him and he would go back to her whenever he had pain in his back or for some problems with his right shoulder.  After about a year he mentioned to her that we had not been able to have a baby.  She mentioned for me to come in.  I thought that acupuncture was only for pain and I did not like the idea of the needles, so I did not go for several months.  If I knew then what I know now I would not have waited!  Finally my husband took me into see Gina for acupuncture and I began going weekly.  After about 4 months I got pregnant!  However, it was lost in the seventh week.  Though it was very sad for us, we were encouraged that I could get pregnant.   I felt like I needed a break from trying to get pregnant so we stopped the treatments.  Eventually we decided to follow our doctor’s advice and do IVF.  Since the cost of the treatment was so high and we trusted western medicine we thought that the IVF treatment would be enough, we did not know that acupuncture could also help with IVF.  The cycle failed.

We went back to Gina for more acupuncture and she told us that acupuncture could help IVF to be more successful!  So we followed her guidelines for three months and then began a new round of IVF.  This time it worked!  We continued to see Gina throughout the pregnancy and also afterwards, and we are now blessed with a beautiful, healthy, happy baby girl!  Thank you Gina!
