Fertility
You Don't Have To Figure This Out On Your Own
The fertility world can be overwhelming and it is hard to know where to start. Working with a Traditional Chinese Medicine based approach gives you insight into the elements of your fertility that no other medicine can do. Every person is unique, and each life experience creates an individual body pattern. We will work together to focus on the whole health of your body, to get your cycle and hormones to the most optimal functioning they can be, and improve your fertility potential.
Keeping our consumption of herbs and foods as pure and local as possible is highly important to my philosophy as a practitioner. I prefer to use whole food based supplements and simple, highly tested and effective herbal combinations from USA and Australian companies whenever possible.
So, how exactly are we improving fertility with Acupuncture?
