"Jackie is a healer. I saw her for a consultation one and half years after my son was born--my energy was feeling a little off and I wanted to gain some insight into what was happening. The moment I walked into her space, I felt an immediate calm. She has a gift in making you feel safe and free to share whatever you want to share. She takes the time to really understand your needs and your whole self which made me feel supported and less alone. She also is very knowledgeable about anything related to maternal health and wellness--her methods and expertise are research-backed which I really appreciate. I do believe there is an art to administering acupuncture and she has mastered it. After our session, my head felt the lightest it's felt since I can remember and my central nervous system recalibrated to be more centered and balanced. I look forward to continuing my journey with Jackie and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to learn more about their maternal health and wellness!"

"I am beyond grateful that I learned about Jackie from my OBGYN and we started working together at the beginning of my 3rd trimester of my first pregnancy. I immediately felt the benefits of her professional yet deeply caring, personal support. She helped me navigate many questions and fears leading up to labor and made me feel much more comfortable and prepared. She shared practical knowledge about labor, recovery, useful things to have on hand and meal planning. Once I had my baby, my appreciation for Jackie went so much deeper. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her during the fourth trimester. While I am lucky to have other supportive family and friends in my life, there was no one who understood, gave relevant advice and listened (without the slightest bit of judgement) on her level. Having Jackie as your advocate during this time period is an absolute game changer and she helped me in countless ways - including lovely acupuncture. I simply cannot recommend working with her enough."

"Jackie’s calm demeanor and bright spirit is the perfect combination for pre/postnatal mama consulting. She also weaves together nicely both western medicine and alternative natural options. Her knowledge was generously shared at a local seminar on pre/postnatal nutrition and her recipes and recommendations were so helpful in navigating the change in hormones (and bandwidth!). I’m grateful for her thoughtfulness and grace."

"Saying my first postpartum experience was unpleasant is putting it lightly. I dealt with anxiety that I refused to get help with (or even acknowledge) and an incredibly painful physical recovery that dragged on for what felt like ages. I was gifted Mothercare when I became unexpectedly pregnant for a second time and it has been the best gift I have ever received. I live in another state so we were completely virtual but Jackie is so warm and understanding that within about 10 minutes of talking to her during our first visit, I was baring my soul about my previous difficulties and fears of a second postpartum experience. During our sessions we tackled my pregnancy complaints (all of which she was able to ease in some way) and we prepared for delivery and the weeks after both physically and mentally. She consistently calmed my fears and gave me tangible help with nutrition and supplements to set me up for success. I even spent the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy in and out of the hospital with blood pressure issues and through it all Jackie was there to support me and keep me calm. I am now 4 months postpartum and everything was so easy this time around. It's unbelievable how much having an extremely knowledgeable advocate can affect your experience- and Jackie is just that. Every mother-to-be deserves this kind of help and support and I feel so lucky to have gotten it from Fourthouse Wellness."

“I am so fortunate to have stumbled on Jackie’s card in a children’s store in Mill Valley. I was 39 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. My pregnancy had gone by quickly and I realized I had not lined up any postpartum care for myself. As a busy, working mom of 3, I hadn’t really thought about myself. I contacted Jackie right away to discuss postpartum care options. Jackie responded immediately in a very professional yet loving way. I immediately felt a connection to her and was able to share exactly what I needed. During the next weeks, Jackie made herself available to answer any questions I had. My doctors wanted to induce me. This is not the direction I saw my pregnancy ending. Jackie worked with me on meal planning, newborn set up, and in-home acupuncture treatments. Her labor inducing acupuncture lead me to the easiest most incredible delivery I had ever had. It felt like a miracle. Even as a seasoned mother of 4, Jackie offered practical solutions for organization, post natal care, and helped prescribe the perfect vitamins to help me during my fourth trimester. In addition to her acupuncture treatments, Jackie became one of the only people I felt I could speak to openly about what was happening to my body during the first weeks after birth. I am now 4 months postpartum and I still reach out to Jackie for my care needs. I wish everyone could have a Jackie in their lives!”

"Working with Jackie Crown has been absolutely essential to my postpartum experience. I cannot imagine not having her expertise and guidance as a first-time mom. She has helped me through preparing for birth and delivery, navigating the ups and downs of breast milk supply, planning for my nutritional needs for a speedy recovery, and so much general well-being counseling. Jackie is always available via text or email for a quick question in addition to our sessions which has been so helpful when we’re having a tough day. She has many times helped me make it through a day or week without feeling completely crushed by how much there is to manage during these first few months. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her for another set of sessions and would very, very, very much recommend her to any soon-to-be mom, first-time or otherwise! She’s wonderful and you’ll feel so supported with her on your team! "

"Jackie's warmth and professionalism set her apart, and the information and guidance she provides via Fourthhouse definitively made me more confident and empowered going into labor, delivery, and recovery. And what a difference that made. I hope all moms find Jackie! Jackie's knowledge is vast and the delivery of her knowledge is approachable and down-to-earth. Her acupuncture was comfortable and comforting -- the process equal parts medicinal and nourishing, and the paperwork she provided with guides and quick facts were at my bedside when I got home from the hospital for easy reference. And I also knew that Jackie was available whenever I needed her for more support. I really felt invested in and a part of the Fourthouse family as a client. I fully recommend Fourthouse for the journey of motherhood! "

“The Fourthouse experience is all encompassing in a way that gave me incredible reassurance in the last days of my pregnancy and first days of motherhood. Jackie helped me tackle the uncomfortable transition from an expected vaginal birth to a planned c-section by giving me the support, information and treatments I couldn't get from my OBGYN. Her in-home acupuncture was both unique and evolved, creating a space for far deeper sessions than the many I had experienced elsewhere. Stepping into motherhood with the support of Fourthouse is self-care at its finest. For me, that meant knowing I had someone I could turn to at all times for answers about my wellbeing at such an unknown, sensitive and special time in my life. ”
