What to Expect During Your Acupuncture Session
At your initial session, we’ll conduct a thorough consultation to understand your health history and current goals. Your acupuncturist will develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your stage in the fertility or pregnancy process. During the session, fine, sterile needles will be gently inserted at specific acupuncture points to promote energy flow (Qi) and overall balance. Many patients find the treatment to be a soothing, rejuvenating experience. Depending on your needs, a series of sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

How Acupuncture Helps with Fertility & Pregnancy
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to promote reproductive health and support pregnancy by balancing the body’s energy. It helps regulate hormonal levels, reduces inflammation, and improves blood flow to reproductive organs, creating a more favorable environment for conception and fetal development. During pregnancy, acupuncture can address nausea, pain, and stress, helping you feel more comfortable and emotionally balanced. Postpartum, acupuncture supports recovery by replenishing energy, balancing hormones, and promoting healing.
