Fertility Support
We have been supporting people struggling with infertility for over a decade. We use single therapies or a combined approach to help people achieve their conception goals.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture) offers you a natural way to optimize your fertility during the critical four to six months before conception. Our Acupuncturists have additional training and experience in reproductive medicine so we know what to do when presented with challenging cases.
The following are ways that Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine treats fertility issues:
- IVF & IUI assistance
- Stress reduction with acupuncture
- Acupuncture strengthens the immune system
- Fertility hormone regulation with acupuncture
- Acupuncture lessens side effects from fertility drugs
- Acupuncture decreases the chance of miscarriage
- Male infertility and acupuncture.

Yoga
How Does Yoga Help?
Our Yogis place heavy emphasis on breathing and breath work during the yoga session. This helps in releasing tension and lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol which may interfere with reproductive hormone function. Our South clinic location offers yoga classes. Our Yogis are welcoming, gentle, and allow for various experience levels.
Fertility Yoga benefits you in the following ways:
- Increases relaxation
- Creates a sense of peace and well-being
- Allows for blood flow to the uterus and reproductive organs (improving egg quality)
- Teaches the body to become more open and less rigid.
Psychology
The fertility journey can be tough. Issues around self-worth and relationship challenges often arise without the ability to feel supported.
We understand.
We believe that developing healthy relationships with self and then others is critical in finding and keeping a healthy balance of peace and harmony in our lives.
We look forward to meeting with you, where you are at and then journeying with you towards the best version of yourself.
