Fertility Acupuncturist & Herbalist

Create or Expand Your Family

Fertility acupuncture and herbal medicine is one of our specialties, and our treatment plans are designed to help throughout the entire journey. We work with individuals and couples who are hoping to conceive naturally, as well as those doing Assisted Reproductive Therapies like IUI and IVF. We can collaborate with your other health providers, such as fertility specialists, OBGYN physicians, NP's, PA's, ND's, and DO's.

What To Expect

Our first consultation is designed to get to know you. We ask very detailed questions about your daily routines, including your nutrition, digestion, elimination, menses, sleep patterns, exercise/movement practices, medications, supplements, and how you manage stress and pain. We want to see recent lab-work or imaging you have had, or order it for you if necessary. We feel your pulse, look at your tongue, and create a treatment plan just for you that will include acupuncture, herbal medicine, or a combination of the two. 

Acupuncture

When we needle a point, we are interacting with fascia, muscles, vasculature, the nervous system, and hormonal pathways. Nearly every patient experiences relief and peacefulness from each session in a cumulative process. Chinese medicine has been employed as a health care modality for over 2000 years, addressing nearly every aspect of health. We typically see fertility patients one to two times weekly for targeted fertility support. Call us to find out more about how our services can help you and your partner.

Herbal Medicine

While acupuncture and cupping have become widely known, herbs are the heart of Chinese medicine. We offer an herbs-only treatment strategy, perfect for improving fertility on a daily basis-- without acupuncture. For many patients hoping to conceive, herbal medicine alone is an ideal solution, because it is taken daily over a period of time. Chinese herbal medicine consists of custom herbal blends made from time-tested ingredients in pharmaceutical-grade, convenient powdered form. Chinese herbal medicine is extremely safe and effective when used under the direction of a licensed professional. 

Nutrition

Traditional medicine encourages a whole foods, nutrient-dense diet tailored to the individual. We will give you nutritional resources based on your needs to fill in any gaps you may have missed. We may suggest specific vitamins, minerals, or nutritional supplements that can be purchased in office or via our online store.

Lab Testing

We offer lab testing such as DUTCH Complete hormone testing, GIMAP gastro-intestinal testing, and Organix Nutritional testing among our services. We also order blood tests for you through an outside lab. We will evaluate recent lab-work or imaging you have had elsewhere, and incorporate it into your treatment plan. 

Essential Audios for Fertility & Conception

We find that our fertility patients benefit immensely from having access to calming audios that can be listened to multiple times. We highly recommend the following apps or websites:

Mindful IVF

Expectful
