Did you know acupuncture can play a key role in supporting fertility?

In 2002, researchers looked into whether acupuncture could help boost pregnancy rates in women undergoing assisted reproductive therapies (ART).

In this study, patients were given acupuncture before and after embryo transfer. They were compared to a control group that didn’t receive acupuncture.

The outcome?
Clinical pregnancies were documented in 34 of 80 patients (42.5%) in the acupuncture group, whereas pregnancy rate was only 26.3% (21 out of 80 patients) in the control group.
Check out this study.

After years of clinical practice, I’m thrilled to have witnessed many “acupuncture babies” come into the world. It’s always a joy to see how acupuncture supports women in getting pregnant and staying pregnant.

How long are treatments?
For fertility acupuncture, the standard recommendation is one treatment per week for three months. Why three months? It takes that long for ovarian follicles to mature and release an egg during ovulation. Acupuncture supports this process by creating optimal conditions for follicle development.

Along with acupuncture, we’ll discuss diet, lifestyle, supplements, and herbal medicine tailored to your needs, taking a holistic approach to optimize fertility.

If you’d like to learn more about how acupuncture can complement your fertility journey, I’d be happy to chat or answer any questions you might have. Book your appointment here.

Reviews ★★★★★

“After struggling with infertility for over a year and being told by a fertility clinic that IVF was my only solution, I decided to go with a more holistic/natural approach. The moment I met Julie, I felt seen and understood. Not once did I feel like a number (like most fertility clinics). She listened, asked my needs, and created a game plan. She was able to give me hope. After weekly treatments, I managed to get pregnant after only two months. I will forever be thankful for all she has done for me. I highly recommend her to anyone going through infertility, hormone imbalance, or thinking about getting pregnant. Julie truly is the BEST in the game!” – Anon

“This review is long overdue. Julie is an amazing healer and has helped me over the years with nutrition and acupuncture. Yesterday I came to her with extremely low energy and a lot of emotional stress, and after some needles, a nice rest on the table, and a few specific supplement recommendations I left feeling completely relaxed. Today I woke up feeling better than I have in weeks, full of energy! I’ll be back again soon.” – Emily
