You’re probably here because you haven’t been able to reach your goal of growing your family. Maybe your doctor gave you a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, advanced maternal age, or abnormal semen parameters. Maybe you’re considering using a sperm or egg donor or even embryo donation. Or perhaps you’ve already utilized Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) such as Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) without success and are beginning to wonder if you can make your dream of being a parent come true.

While trying to conceive there are many challenges. Doctors appointments require you to take time off from work. It can become difficult to attend family functions where kids are present and well-intentioned family members may ask you “When are y’all having kids?” Going to baby showers and logging into Facebook become reminders that you’re having trouble conceiving. And there’s the financial strain that comes with fertility testing and medications, IUIs, and IVF cycles. And during this time it may seem that everyone around you is “easily” getting pregnant. Difficulty conceiving affects you mentally, emotionally, financially, and physically. You may begin to feel shame, anger, resentment, confusion, and frustration during your fertility journey… but you are not alone.

I’ve worked with hundreds of couples over the years that started out in a place similar to where you are now. Some had a clear infertility diagnosis and Western treatment plan, and others were given the frustrating diagnosis of “unexplained infertility” and were unsure what their next step(s) should be. However, one thing they all had in common was wanting a practitioner that would listen to them and create a plan for them, keeping in mind that they are a whole person, not just a fertility diagnosis.

If you’re here and looking for a reproductive acupuncturist that will listen, guide, and support you on your fertility journey then you’re in the right place.

Over the years I’ve treated many reproductive health concerns and have provided support for the following conditions:

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), menstrual cycle irregularities, and anovulation
• Advanced maternal age, Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) and Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)
• History of miscarriage or Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL)
• Fertility and IUI/IVF Preparation
• Auto-immune issues and thyroid irregularities
• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
• Abnormal semen parameters (low count or volume, poor morphology or motility)
• PMS & Painful Periods
• Menopause
• Endometriosis
• Unexplained Infertility
• Pregnancy Morning Sickness
• Pregnancy Aches and Pains
• Pregnancy Support and Labor Preparation

My job is to evaluate your current health and fertility situation to create a personalized fertility plan. The goal of our work together will be to rebalance your hormones, improve your overall health, and your fertility. We can do this by supporting your body with proper nutrition through food and supplements, stress reduction techniques, and acupuncture. Some side benefits you may experience include improved digestion, more restful sleep, and increased energy – all of which are a great foundation for a healthy conception and pregnancy!
