Angela Le, DACM, L.AC.
Dr. Angela Le is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist, and one of the first fertility acupuncturists in the United States. She is the founder of Fifth Avenue Fertility Wellness, one of the only fully non-toxic, green integrative fertility clinics in the country. Since 2001, she has supported thousands of women through fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause.
She trained in Taoist philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yo San University under Master Ni and his sons, healers with a lineage dating back 74 generations to the Han Dynasty. This foundation in ancient wisdom shapes her integrative approach to reproductive health.
Dr. Le is a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Her somatic training extends to trauma-informed yin yoga, restorative breathing, meditation, and somatic sex education. As an embodiment teacher, she helps women resolve symptoms of trauma and stress, regulate their nervous systems, and develop new ways of being present in their bodies.
Her work bridges Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taoist philosophy, somatic healing, detoxification, biohacking, and longevity medicine to address the physical, emotional, and relational dimensions of women's health.
She works closely with reproductive endocrinologists throughout NYC and built her practice alongside Dr. Sami David, bestselling author of Making Babies: A Proven 3-Month Program for Maximum Fertility.
Dr. Le's work has been featured in Huffington Post, Motherly, Mind Body Green, Cup of Jo, and Romper. She serves on the advisory board for Mama Glow and teaches in their doula training program. A lifelong student of healing, she is dedicated to helping women reclaim their innate capacity for it.
