Holistic Healing for the Modern Body

What Is Fertility Acupuncture?
Fertility acupuncture is a specialized form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that focuses on supporting reproductive health by stimulating specific acupuncture points related to the endocrine, nervous, and reproductive systems. Treatments are non-invasive and can be used as a standalone therapy or in combination with conventional fertility protocols.
Common Questions About Fertility Acupuncture
When should I start acupuncture for fertility?
Ideally, begin 2–3 months before trying to conceive or beginning fertility treatments. This allows time to regulate your cycle, improve egg/sperm quality, and reduce systemic stress.
Can acupuncture help with IVF or IUI?
Yes, research shows that acupuncture can enhance IVF and IUI success rates by supporting embryo implantation, improving uterine blood flow, and reducing anxiety before procedures.
How often should I get fertility acupuncture?
We typically recommend weekly sessions, timed to different phases of your menstrual or treatment cycle. Your practitioner will create a schedule that supports your specific fertility goals.
Japanese Acupuncture
For clients who are sensitive, anxious about needles, or simply prefer a more subtle approach, we offer Japanese-style acupuncture, a method known for its gentle touch, shallow needling, and highly refined diagnostic techniques. Japanese acupuncture often uses thinner needles, fewer insertions, and moxibustion (herbal heat therapy) to tonify the body’s energy without overstimulation.
This style is ideal for:
Children and needle-sensitive adults
People with chronic illness or low energy
Patients with autoimmune or complex conditions
Those looking for a deeply calming, meditative session
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your session begins with a thorough intake including pulse and tongue diagnosis, symptom discussion, and a review of your emotional and energetic patterns. We then create a custom point prescription and gently place needles according to your needs—either using TCM, Japanese-style, or an integrative blend.
Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing. You may feel warmth, a gentle wave, or a floating sensation as the energy shifts. Many patients fall into a restful, dream-like state—what we call an “acu-nap”—and leave feeling grounded, energized, and clear.
Common Questions About Acupuncture
Does it hurt?
The needles are as thin as a strand of hair. Most clients feel a tiny pinch, if anything, followed by a calming sensation. Japanese-style acupuncture is especially known for its pain-free approach.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals. Acute issues may resolve in 3–6 sessions, while chronic or complex conditions often benefit from a longer series. Your practitioner will guide you with a personalized treatment plan.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes, when performed by a licensed practitioner. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict safety protocols. Acupuncture is safe for all ages and is commonly used in conjunction with Western medical care.
Can I combine acupuncture with other treatments?
Absolutely. Acupuncture pairs well with cupping, herbal therapy, microneedling, chiropractic, and IV therapy. It enhances the effectiveness of most healing modalities by regulating the nervous system and promoting circulation.
