Fertility

Specializing in oriental reproductive medicine, and membership with ABORM (American Board of Reproductive Medicine) we have a focus on women’s health and fertility. We believe in customizing our care for each unique patient, crafting an approach using simple and effective strategies. We provide acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage, as well as meditative techniques to help optimize your fertility and reduce stress during your journey toward becoming a parent.
If you are using Assisted Reproductive Techniques such as IUI or IVF, we can work closely with your doctor to be sure you get the best care. We provide onsite pre- and post- embryo transfer acupuncture.
Traditional Chinese Medicine can help with the following;

• Increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, improving uterine lining and egg quality
• Regulate the Hypothalamus-Pituitary and Ovarian axis to optimize menstruation and ovulation.
• Help with implantation by reducing uterine spasms.
• Relieve stress, and decrease the body’s stress response.
• Reduce inflammation that may impede fertility.
• Regulate the immune system, which can influence fertility.
• Improve Male factor issues such as sperm count, motility and quality.

Pregnancy

We joyfully provide pre- and post-natal support.

We can also help you on your journey once you are pregnant- eliminating pregnancy nausea and heartburn, headaches, sciatica and other musculoskeletal conditions, hemorrhiods as well as provide help with breech presentation and labor induction when and if needed.
Acupuncture is great for post-partum care as well- effectively addressing depression or anxiety, mastitis, insufficient lactation, or night sweats. We can provide or teach your partner to do a lovely postnatal tonification treatment called “Mother Warming”, which uses moxibustion in the first week following childbirth to energize new moms and aid in their recovery.
