Improving Your Chances of Conception with Acupuncture
You have made the amazing decision to have a baby. You and your partner feel you are ready. Yet, it does not seem to be happening even after months and months of trying—potentially even years. Family and friends are cheering you on, and the frustration is building. Your fertility specialist assures you that while not everything is perfect, you are physically capable of having a baby. Sometimes, there are more subtle factors that may be out of sync than what your fertility specialist can see. We know how to hold your hand through this journey. We’ve been there. We get it.
When to Begin Acupuncture Support
When it comes to making babies, the name of the game is hormone regulation. Acupuncture can have a dramatic and helpful effect on regulating hormones in the body (that includes the ones needed for conception). So, when should you start to prepare?
The simple answer is anytime. The more you do to ensure that your body will be receptive to becoming pregnant, the better. Any symptom, including fertility issues, has a ROOT cause. The sooner we begin to address that root cause, the more likely you are to succeed in conceiving a baby. Also, the more likely you are to carry that wonderful being to full term.
We see dramatic effects with people after their very first treatment. We have even seen success after only one month. We can help with improvements that will increase the chances of getting pregnant and then, moving forward, increase your body’s ability to carry your baby.
So, if you have been trying for years, months, or are just starting to talk about it with your partner, now is the perfect time to begin preparing. Bringing greater balance and harmony to your body will go a long way to increasing your chances of success. The best thing you can do is request your free initial consultation with us right away and let us help you get into a more conscious, proactive mode as soon as possible.
How We Help You Prepare for Fertility Success
We use an amazing combination of modalities to help you the best way we can:
- Acupuncture has been demonstrated in studies to increase relaxation and relieve stress, which improves blood flow to the reproductive organs as a result.
- Chinese herbal therapy is used during the months and weeks BEFORE you start your fertility journey to balance hormone output and tissue response, as well as replenish and restore the body’s internal resources.
- Customized supplementation and nutritional advice ensures that you are getting the abundant nutrients necessary for improving all of the physiological functions needed for creating life. By making targeted, practical adjustments to your diet we can reap significant benefits for you.
- Specialized mind-body techniques. We teach you how to effectively manage stress, to keep the body in the most receptive state possible. Conception is a reflection of the body’s ability to be receptive to change, growth, and new life. By setting up a mental-emotional frequency that supports this receptivity, your body is better prepared to welcome the change with loving “arms”.

Why Our Natural Treatment Works So Well…
We address the root cause
Our process includes finding and attacking the actual root CAUSE of your fertility issues. This is why so many have found relief with our therapies, even though other therapies didn’t work. Even those with a long family history of fertility issues have experienced significant relief.
We use an all natural approach your doctor doesn’t know about
Your doctor may have told you that you have to live with your fertility issues and accompanying symptoms or “this is as good as it gets”. That doesn’t mean there’s no treatment, it just means your doctor has run out of ideas or there aren’t conventional treatments available. We find that people who don’t respond well to conventional treatment often respond very well to our natural approach.
We help you awaken your body's natural healing system
Despite what you may have been led to believe, your body is not “broken” and it IS possible to have energy, focus, and joy again. That’s because your body never forgets how to heal itself. It just needs the right support. Your body makes its own internal anti-inflammatory substances and medicines, and our therapies help it do just that.
We keep it simple and results are quick
Feeling better and increasing your ability to conceive does not have to be difficult or take a long time. Simple, targeted lifestyle and diet changes, along with our targeted natural therapies, are a very clear and concise way to attack the problem head on, and patients often see improved energy and mood within DAYS not WEEKS or MONTHS.
We focus on how you FEEL - not just the numbers
While everyone else is looking at pieces of paper with numbers, and not listening to you – WE focus on YOU, your story, and how you feel.
Are you feeling more energy? Are you thinking more clearly? Are you starting to lose those unwanted pounds? Does your skin look healthy and vibrant? THAT is OUR focus. NOT more expensive, unnecessary lab tests.
Our approach ALWAYS includes stress reduction
Stress is often a key component of fertility issues. We do not ignore this, we actually teach you very simple ways to enhance sleep and relaxation which supports your body’s natural healing system.

Here's How We Help Thousands Every Year With PROVEN, Personalized Holistic Medical Care
(And YOU get to choose which therapies you would like to incorporate.)
Gentle Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to naturally stimulate your body's innate healing process. Once stimulated, the healing process begins repairing and restoring all cells and tissues. It is an excellent way to tune in the neuroendocrine system’s function of balancing hormone levels and pain.
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal therapy simultaneously cures AND strengthens the body. This dual action is something unique to herbal medicine that makes it very well suited to treat hormonal conditions including thyroid, menstrual disorders, mood problems, sleep issues, and fertility.
Nutritional Therapy
“You are what you eat” is the saying. When your cells, glands, and tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, these tissues naturally function at a very high level. This means you feel your best because the body’s key systems are optimized.
Relaxation and Stress Reduction
General life today causes a stress reaction that will cause your endocrine system to go out of balance and cause illness. When your nervous system is calm, the hormonal system, immune system, digestive, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means a more focused mind, more resilient immune system, less inflammation, better circulation, and optimal nutrient absorption.

The Process Is Simple
Free Initial Consultation
At your free initial consultation you’ll meet with your practitioner to discuss your health concerns and most importantly YOUR GOALS. We want to be certain that our program is going to meet your needs and that there is a HIGH probability of success for you – BEFORE we move forward to the next step.
Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan
Once your free consultation is complete, and we agree to move forward, your next step is the Intake appointment. At this appointment, your clinician will do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history, and other factors to determine the root cause of your issue and devise a specific plan of attack.
Your first acupuncture session will be performed at this time, and a you will be given a treatment plan with exact, easy-to-follow instructions. Your treatment plan will include dietary and lifestyle adjustments, key supplements and herbal medicines, and mind-body exercises to address the root of YOUR fertility issue.
Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution
You’ll return for once-weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel the positive shifts of the therapy. We want to make sure your treatment plan is producinging the expected results:
- Increased energy
- Better sleep
- Improved mental focus
- Healthier skin and hair
- Healthy metabolism and (if needed) weight loss
You will continue to receive acupuncture at each visit to ensure that your neuroendocrine system (the delicate connection between your nervous and hormonal systems) is rebalancing in a way that results in optimal reproductive function.
Transitional Care As Things Stabilize
Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of visits. This usually occurs after about 8-12 visits. Initially you’ll come every other week until pregnant, then once a month through delivery and after for a couple of visits to ensure a healthy recovery, then you will no longer need regular treatments.
We’ll be here in case you ever want to come in for a tune-up or to address other health concerns.
Of course, MANY of our patients do wish to continue with “ongoing maintenance” and we are happy to work that out with you, should that be your wish.
Taking Care Of Your Friends and Loved Ones
We pride ourselves on the fact that the majority of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work.
So, we very much look forward to helping YOUR friends, family, and loved ones on THEIR journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life.

Common Questions
Does the acupuncture hurt?
The sterile, stainless steel, single-use needles are extremely thin, and they cause no pain because they are razor sharp and solid as opposed to hollow like a hypodermic needle your would find at your doctor’s office.
How long will it take to see results?
People often feel a shift after the very first treatment. Acupuncture is a very powerful way to regulate the neuroendocrine axis of the body – which is how the brain and central nervous system talk to the endocrine system. And, most patients see significant results within 6 – 12 weeks such as return of regular menstrual and ovulatory cycles, increased libido, and reduction of stress and other potential symptoms of YOUR cause of infertility.
Will I have to spend a lot of time coming in for treatments?
Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation.
Will I have to do some kind of horrible, super-restrictive detox or elimination diet?
NO WAY. We are here to set you up for success. We find the 2 or 3 “key leverage points” in your diet and work on those. No impossible to follow meal plans or detoxes here.
What are my chances of success?
Results vary, of course. That being said, well over 70% of our patients experience a return to regular cycles and a significant reduction in other symptoms of your cause of infertility. However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.
Will I learn self care techniques like meditation and special exercises that will help empower me to heal faster?
Certainly. While we want to guide you every step of the way, we also want to empower you for this journey and all those following. Our program is so effective because of its ability to connect the Body, Mind, and Spirit. We feel it is a very important part of every person’s healing for any condition.
Can natural medicine REALLY help my Infertility?
Absolutely. Your hormonal system – and your body as a whole – is capable of healing itself, especially when it has the nutritional support and specialized natural therapies we offer to help it get back on track. We’ve seen this happen in our clinic over and over with infertility and many other conditions.
