How acupuncture can help

  • Fertility Support

    Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in supporting any form of assisted reproductive technology (ART), IVF, IUI, medicated menstrual cycles, egg implantation, and egg retrieval.

    Acupuncture has also been shown to help improve the likelihood of ovulation, increasing the amount of follicles developing in the ovary, blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, and improving endometrial lining.

  • Pregnancy Support

    Acupuncture has been shown to be safe, effective, and supportive during all of pregnancy.

    I have seen it support nausea, fatigue, back pain, sciatica, and other common complaints. I have also seen benefits with pre-eclampsia, hyperemesis, malposition, and labor support.

    I can and have seamlessly integrate my acupuncture practice with your providers (OBGYN, midwife, and or doula).

  • Pre/Post IVF Transfer

    Research has shown that patients who receive acupuncture before and after an IVF transfer are more likely to become pregnant. It has also been found that people who received acupuncture before and after the transfer were more optimistic and less anxious about the outcome.

    This service is designed specifically to support you before and after the transfer.

  • Breech or Transverse babies

    There is compelling research to support that acupuncture can help to turn a breech or transverse baby. It has been shown to be as effective as an ECV. Before booking an appointment with me for breech presentation, please book a free telephone consultation so we can determine if acupuncture for malposition of the fetus is appropriate for you.

  • Hormonal & Reproductive Health

    Reproductive health is more than just trying to conceive.

    Acupuncture can be a treatment option for painful periods, cramping, PMS/PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopausal and menopausal support, and coming off of hormonal birth control.

  • Postnatal Support

    After birth, things can really feel like the focus switches to the baby.

    But, pregnancy and birth itself can be incredibly intense on the birthing person.

    Acupuncture can be an incredible tool postnatally. I have supported those through breastfeeding, c-section scar and pain recovery, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and general support.

  • Depression, Anxiety & Stress

    Acupuncture can support emotional health as well. Acupuncture can help with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.

    Studies have shown that acupuncture can be as effective as talk therapy and medications.

    Stress is also so common these days. The days are busy, work is hard, family is hard, and things are generally overwhelming. Reducing overall stress in our lives can have such positive impacts on our entire well being.

  • Seasonal Allergies

    Acupuncture can help to manage symptoms of seasonal allergies.

    Runny nose, congestion, pressure in the sinuses, itchy eyes, hay fever, sneezing, coughing, and post nasal drip. Seasonal allergies often are a symptom of gut and digestive health, which is perfect for acupuncture because it can help with both!

  • Digestive Support

    Acupuncture has been shown to help to support the digestive system.

    IBS, constipation, gas, bloating, and even skin conditions have been shown to improve through acupuncture.

    Chinese Medicine heavily focuses on the gut in practice- everything starts here!
