Acupuncture is commonly used to support fertility and pregnancy by improving pelvic circulation, regulating the nervous system, supporting hormonal communication, and reducing stress. It is frequently incorporated before and during IVF and IUI cycles, as well as throughout pregnancy.
Services We May Recommend
Therapeutic Massage
Massage therapy addresses muscle tension, soft tissue restrictions, and fascial imbalances that contribute to pain and limited movement. It is especially helpful for neck, shoulder, back, and joint pain during pregnancy or for relaxation throughout your fertility journey.
Infrared Sauna Therapy
When appropriate, infrared sauna therapy may be used to support circulation, stress reduction, and detoxification during preconception phases. Sauna use is adjusted or paused during active fertility treatment and pregnancy for safety.
Reiki & Nervous System Support
The fertility journey can be emotionally and physically demanding. Reiki and calming therapies help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and support emotional well-being throughout treatment and pregnancy.
Herbal Medicine & Targeted Supplements
Custom Chinese herbal supplements and professional-grade supplements may be used (when appropriate) to support cycle regulation, egg and sperm quality, energy levels, sleep, digestion, and recovery between fertility treatment phases. Herbal recommendations are carefully timed and adjusted around IVF/IUI protocols.
Health Coaching & Lifestyle Guidance
Lifestyle factors such as nutrition, stress management, sleep, and movement play a meaningful role in fertility outcomes. Health coaching provides practical guidance to support your body between appointments and throughout treatment cycles.

Soft music and a peaceful atmosphere

Sessions are tailored to where you are in your fertility or pregnancy journey. Many patients report feeling calmer, more grounded, and supported after treatment. Over time, consistent care helps support regulation, recovery, and resilience alongside medical treatment.
