Fertility Is A Spectrum

Fertility is not an on and off switch, it’s a spectrum (and for the record, most people struggling to get pregnant are not INfertile, just sub fertile). So many things have to be lined up properly for a magical little human to be created- you’re basically the human version of a rubiks cube, and we’re the coaches who get you to turn things in the right direction. We offer acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition and pelvic physical therapy to help you reach your baby goals💕💙

How fertile are you?

We prefer to think about fertility as a spectrum- not "fertile" or "infertile" but a scale from less fertile to more fertile. It's a complicated puzzle with MANY pieces. We use acupuncture, herbs and dietary advice to help push our fertility patients towards "more fertile".

Things that affect fertility:

• Age (yep, our eggs haven't caught up with our later baby making lifestyles)

• Diet

• Stress level

• Quality and quantity of sleep

• Genetics

• Sperm quality

• Endocrine disruptor exposure

•Thyroid and GI function

You're basically a rubic's cube

We can help you unscramble your pieces by focusing on:

• Cycle irregularities

• Body temperature

• Gut function

• Sleep

• Mood

• Food & Supplements

• Pain

• Energy levels

FAQs

Can acupuncture support me during fertility treatments?

Yes! We love working on fertility no matter where you are in the game, and will work to support the best outcomes if you are already undergoing medicated fertility treatment.

How often do I need to come in?

We recommend coming in weekly for at least 3 months. Research has shown that acupuncture is dose dependent just like medication! The more frequently you are treated, the faster you will see measurable changes.

How do I know if it's working?

While the obvious end goal is a happy, healthy pregnancy, we measure success along the way by noticing changes in cycle and PMS issues, energy, sleep and anxiety. Most patients see improvements in the first few weeks and we build from there!
