Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or through assisted reproductive technologies like IVF/IUI, our experienced practitioners are here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Our Approach

Our holistic fertility treatments are designed to:

  • Boost Blood Flow: We use acupuncture to improve circulation to the reproductive organs, which can enhance ovarian function and endometrial receptivity.

  • Balance Hormones: By regulating the endocrine system, our treatments help balance hormones naturally, which is crucial for conception.

  • Reduce Stress: Acupuncture promotes relaxation and reduces stress, creating a more favorable environment for conception.

  • Enhance Overall Wellness: We address underlying health issues, promoting overall wellness and a healthy pregnancy.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Each individual is unique, and so is our approach. Our fertility treatments may include:

  • Acupuncture: Tailored sessions to target specific points related to reproductive health.

  • Herbal Medicine: Customized herbal formulas to support your fertility journey.

  • Nutritional Guidance: Dietary recommendations to nourish your body and optimize fertility.

  • Lifestyle Support: Holistic advice to improve your overall health and well-being.

Supporting IVF/IUI Success

For those undergoing IVF or IUI, acupuncture can be a valuable complementary therapy. Studies have shown that acupuncture can improve the success rates of these treatments by:

  • Enhancing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries

  • Reducing side effects of fertility medications

  • Alleviating stress and anxiety

  • Supporting the implantation process

Treatment Cycle Timing

Timing of acupuncture sessions can accentuate your chances of conception success. Based on our experience and research, as well as you and your partner’s situations, we can recommend the following about acupuncture timing:

  • To regulate menstrual cycles and address egg quality issues in women, it’s a good idea to start acupuncture two to three months naturally TTC or before your scheduled IVF/IUI transfer. Acupuncture helps improve blood flow to all the reproductive organs, including the ovaries and uterus, which helps prepare for an “all systems go” transfer day.

  • For men, we also recommend a two to three-month head start with acupuncture treatments before trying to conceive. For men, acupuncture sessions are designed to improve sperm quality and motility.

  • Acupuncture can help boost fertility success as women receive sessions throughout their menstrual cycles. Receiving acupuncture between days one and four, five and seven and seven through nine can help prime endometrial receptivity.

  • During ovulation, acupuncture can help boost blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, which can boost pregnancy chances as well.

Our compassionate team is committed to providing the highest quality care in a supportive and nurturing environment.
