These days more women are proactively seeking fertility support even before embarking on their conception plans. Many have the desire to feel as healthy, balanced, and vibrant as can be, knowing they are doing everything they can to feel ready when taking that next step. The beauty of Chinese Medicine is that the entire system; physical, mental, and emotional, benefits from treatment no matter where focus lies. The advantages of acupuncture are far reaching through all of the body’s networks including hormonal, metabolic, immune, digestive, neurological, and adrenal. Nutritional and lifestyle factors play heavily into an optimal fertile environment and in most cases there is room for improvement in both these areas when it comes to healthy conception. Often stress is such an enormous factor when initially thinking about trying to conceive that it creates a negative impact on what are the best intentions. Holistic support in the preparatory stages is a wonderful opportunity to negate that stress and direct focus on a healthy dietary & lifestyle habits to enhance fertility. We work together to formulate a personalized fertility plan that involves acupuncture, nutrition, quality supplements, and appropriate movement to support you every step of the way. 

In the absence of a known medical cause many women are diagnosed with unexplained infertility. It is estimated that 1 in 5 couples will be identified as such. After going through extensive medical testing and evaluation, it can be difficult and down right maddening to hear that there is no good reason you are not getting pregnant. As an alternative and often second opinion, women and couples will seek holistic medicine to help find other answers and support. It is important to know that the diagnosis does not mean you can’t get pregnant! ⁣It just means a cause has not been found yet as to why. ⁣I understand how this uncertainty is deeply challenging to deal with, and I work closely with my patients to e xplore the specific and wide range of factors that might be affecting fertility across every aspect of life. ⁣Because the body is viewed differently on a physiological level in Traditional Chinese Medicine than western medicine, there are aspects we examine that can reveal clues as to what may be at play. How you sleep, eat, move, handle stress, and menstruate are all key components, in addition to your patterns of hormonal rhythm.⁣ Based on important details of your body and health state, we formulate a course of holistic treatment that aims to resolve and restore any imbalances in order to enhance fertility and improve your chances of conceiving.⁣ ⁣If you’ve been diagnosed with unexplained infertility, know that this is not the end of the road. It may just be time to explore other paths forward.
