Safe, Effective, Natural
Research shows that acupuncture naturally boosts fertility for both men and women and that it measurably increases pregnancy success rates from IVF, IUI.
Already expecting? Congrats! Acu is a safe and natural way to relieve common symptoms at every stage of your pregnancy journey. We recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions to feel your best at this life-changing time of your life.
How It Works
Fertility is a process and we're your partner from start to end. Our talented, expert acupuncturists are all highly trained in fertility + pregnancy concerns. Whether you're conceiving naturally, through IVF or other means, our unique healing methods can help every step of the way.
Note that acupuncture doesn't treat the pregnancy itself - it treats associated symptoms.
When You're Conceiving
Improves circulation
Research has shown acupuncture's ability to increase blood flow to the uterus. Chinese medicine works to build blood in the uterine area, as well as throughout the body to facilitate your body's acceptance of an embryo.

Balances hormones
Review and preliminary data indicates acupuncture may improve menstrual health, including irregular periods, painful periods or no period. Regulating the cycle is often the first step to bringing the body into balance for pregnancy.

Reduces stress
Making the decision to have a baby and taking on the responsibility to care for something precious as well as fear of the unknown can be very stressful! Research demonstrates acupuncture's ability to directly decrease stress levels, bringing the body into balance.
