The earlier the better. Because this is natural medicine, your body benefits from time to respond. Three months before an IVF cycle is ideal, but if your timeline is shorter, we'll work with what you have and still create meaningful results.

Your first visit is comprehensive and designed to give you clarity, direction, and immediate support. We'll conduct a thorough assessment to understand your health and challenges, create a personalized treatment plan, recommend targeted supplements, and provide acupuncture. You'll leave with a clear plan and the knowledge that you're being comprehensively cared for.

Most women feel deeply relaxed after treatment. Some notice increased energy, better sleep, or a sense of calm that lasts for days. Occasionally you may feel tired or emotional as your body processes the session. We recommend drinking water and resting when possible after your appointment.

Because the body holds experiences that the mind may not consciously remember, and those experiences affect your physiology. When practitioners understand how trauma and chronic stress live in the nervous system, they can work with your body more skillfully and create a safer healing environment. This approach allows us to address what's actually affecting your fertility and vitality, not just the surface symptoms.

Yes. Trauma doesn't have to mean something catastrophic happened to you. It's simply stress that didn't complete its cycle in your body. Most of us carry some of this, whether from difficult relationships, medical procedures, losses, or the accumulated stress of daily life. Addressing what's stored in your body can shift what's been stuck, even if you wouldn't use the word trauma to describe your experience.

Yes. We've helped many women transition from unsuccessful IVF cycles to successful natural conception. We can never promise you'll get pregnant, but we can assure you that you will feel better working with us if you commit to the process. Our approach addresses the underlying factors affecting your fertility and prepares your body for conception, whether you pursue natural conception or return to assisted reproduction.

We support women at every stage:

Preconception: Prepare your body for pregnancy and egg freezing support.

Infertility: PCOS, endometriosis, hormone imbalance, male factor, recurrent loss, unexplained infertility, low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, fibroids, and more.

IVF and IUI: Preparation and day-of treatment support, including pre and post transfer acupuncture at CCRM.

Pregnancy: Morning sickness, fatigue, anxiety, pain, sleep, labor preparation.

Postpartum: Lactation, mastitis, postpartum depression, C-section recovery, fatigue.

Perimenopause and Menopause: Hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes, hormone imbalances, energy and libido changes.

Yes. Most of the women we see are actively in fertility treatment and seeking additional support to improve their outcomes. We address factors that may not be getting attention in conventional treatment, including stress, nervous system regulation, nutrient status, and the underlying patterns affecting your body's capacity to conceive.

Yes. We support men for male factor infertility, sperm health optimization, and stress reduction. Fertility is a shared journey, and addressing both partners often improves outcomes.

We are sorry for your loss. Yes, many patients come to us after pregnancy loss. We offer both physical support to prepare your body for future pregnancy and emotional support to process grief, fear, and anxiety. This is tender work, and we hold it with care.

Yes. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been supporting women through perimenopause and menopause for thousands of years. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and personalized protocols, we address hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, hormone imbalances, low libido, and fatigue.

Our approach looks at the root causes of your symptoms rather than managing them one by one. Many women find that treatment brings relief they didn't experience with conventional approaches alone.

For women who want to go deeper, we also offer Embodied Perimenopause Coaching, a 6-month program addressing the nervous system and emotional shifts that come with this transition.

Yes. While we offer comprehensive care beyond acupuncture, you are welcome to receive acupuncture treatment only.

If you've been doing everything right and still feel stuck, there may be something deeper asking for attention. Nervous system patterns, stored stress, relationship dynamics, or life circumstances that no amount of acupuncture can address on its own. Our Embodiment and Healing programs and Rebirth and Reclaim mentorship work with these deeper layers. We'll help you discern what's right for you.
