Fertility & Reproductive Medicine Support
Whole-systems care for women who want clarity, confidence, and a plan.
Trying to conceive shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.
Yet most women are left with vague answers, “normal” labs, or a recommendation to “wait and see.”
Your body deserves deeper insight.
Your fertility deserves strategy.
And you deserve care that integrates the best of Chinese medicine, modern reproductive science, and individualized support—so you can move forward with clarity instead of confusion.
How I Support Fertility
I help women understand their cycles, strengthen fertility foundations, and prepare for natural or assisted conception using a whole-systems, evidence-informed approach:
- acupuncture timed to your cycle
- integrative fertility strategy
- hormone & cycle pattern analysis
- nutritional & lifestyle guidance
- nervous system regulation
- targeted support for egg quality, lining, implantation, and early pregnancy
Whether you’re trying naturally, preparing for IVF, or navigating complex diagnoses, we build the right strategy for your body.
Why Integrative Fertility Medicine Works
Your fertility is not one system—it is all of them:
- Hormones: progesterone rhythm, estrogen balance, LH surge, luteal phase strength
- Circulation: uterine blood flow, ovarian perfusion, pelvic inflammation
- Nervous system: stress response, sleep cycles, cortisol patterns
- Nutrition & digestion: absorption, inflammation, blood sugar
- Lifestyle: movement, timing, rhythm, restorative practices
When these systems work together, conception is more likely.
When one is out of sync, everything compensates.
When the whole picture is restored your body can function the way it’s designed to.
Who This Is For
Cycle + Hormone Imbalance
Irregular cycles, PMS/PMDD, anovulation, painful periods.
Trying to Conceive
Preconception, timed intercourse, unexplained infertility.
Complex Fertility Cases
PCOS, endometriosis, Hashimoto’s, luteal issues, recurrent loss.
If you feel like “something is missing” in your care plan—you’re in the right place.
What I Treat
Clear, whole-system support for the full spectrum of fertility and cycle challenges.
Fertility isn’t one issue — it’s a constellation of hormones, inflammation, metabolism, thyroid health, blood flow, nutrient status, and nervous system regulation.
I support the full range of conditions that influence conception, cycle rhythm, and reproductive vitality, including:
Cycle + Ovulation Disorders
- Irregular or absent cycles
- Short or long cycles
- Short or long cycles
- Short or long cycles
- PMS / PMDD
Hormones + Metabolism
- Estrogen/progesterone imbalance
- Thyroid disorders (Hashimoto’s, subclinical hypo)
- Elevated homocysteine
- Blood sugar instability
- Post-pill hormone disruption
Fertility-Specific Conditions
- Unexplained infertility
- Luteal phase issues
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Low ovarian reserve / early ovarian aging (POI)
- Endometriosis
- PCOS
- Inflammation-driven fertility patterns
Male Factor Fertility (partner support)
- Low Count
- Poor motility/morphology
- Sperm oxidative stress
- Stress-driven fertility challenges
If your diagnosis isn’t listed, you’re still in the right place — fertility responds to whole-system treatment, not single labels.
My Approach to Fertility Care
Most fertility challenges don’t come from one single problem — they come from a pattern. My approach focuses on identifying the underlying physiology driving your symptoms rather than chasing isolated issues or trying one-off fixes.
Using a blend of East Asian medicine, reproductive physiology, and evidence-based integrative care, I focus on the three core systems that determine your fertility:
- Your cycle rhythm
- Your hormone-signaling pathways
- Your whole-body environment (inflammation, stress physiology, metabolic function)
When these systems work together, fertility improves naturally.
How Your Care Is Structured
Your care follows a clear, intentional structure designed to reduce confusion, remove guesswork, and give you predictable progress:
1. Identify the Pattern
We look at your cycle, symptoms, labs, history, and body patterns through a whole-systems lens. This reveals why your fertility is struggling — even when your labs look "normal".
2. Stabilize What’s Off Track
We address the systems that need support: ovulation, luteal function, thyroid regulation, blood flow, inflammation, sleep, digestion, stress physiology. This creates the internal environment needed for conception.
3. Strengthen Fertility Capacity
Once your foundation is stable, we build resilience, support egg quality and endometrial receptivity, fortify progesterone patterns, and optimize cycle timing.
4. Adapt as You Move Through Your Fertility Timeline
Your treatment arc shifts with you — follicular phase, luteal phase, TTC cycles, IUI or IVF cycles, early pregnancy, postpartum, or long-term cycle health. Your plan always evolves with your physiology.
Why This Approach Works
You’re not getting a generic protocol, a DIY supplement list, or the same guidance everyone else gets.
You’re receiving customized, evidence-informed, pattern-driven care that supports your fertility at the root — the way your body actually works.
This is the difference between chasing symptoms and creating a body that knows how to conceive.

How to Begin Your Fertility Care
Choose the starting point that matches your timeline, your needs, and your level of support.
Comprehensive Fertility Intake
(The most complete clinical starting point)
What this includes:
A full fertility and hormone health assessment, in-depth cycle analysis, lab interpretation, Chinese medicine pattern diagnosis, your first acupuncture treatment, and a personalized fertility strategy that includes acupuncture, nutrition, supplements, and rhythm-based lifestyle guidance.
Best for:
Women trying to conceive now or soon, or navigating complex patterns like PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues, recurrent pregnancy loss, or unexplained infertility.
Mini Precision Consult
(A focused consult for clear direction and next steps)
What this includes:
A short, strategic consult with clean pattern identification, brief cycle + symptom analysis, and clear guidance on whether you need a Comprehensive Intake, acupuncture, supplement support, or further evaluation.
Best for:
Women exploring whether they need full clinical care, those with early or mild cycle symptoms, post-pill irregularity, stress-related cycle disruption, PMS, mild hormonal imbalance, or anyone deciding between beginning with a Strategy Session or moving directly into a Comprehensive Intake.
Virtual Fertility Strategy Session
(A personalized, virtual pathway for clarity without an in-person visit)
What this includes:
A 30–40 minute video session where we review your cycle, symptoms, and health history; interpret labs (current or recommended); identify your functional patterns; and map out your next best fertility steps — including supplements, lifestyle strategies, timing, and whether acupuncture should play a role.
Best for:
Women who want expert guidance before committing to in-person care, those not local to SLC, anyone seeking clarity around their fertility timeline, and those wanting a research-aware, whole-system interpretation of their labs and cycle.

How Long Will It Take?
Your fertility timeline depends on your physiology, your diagnosis, and how long patterns have been present.
Here’s what treatment arcs typically look like:
Shorter Arcs (6–8 visits over 4–6 weeks)
Best for: mild PMS, short-term cycle disruption, stress-related symptoms, post-pill cycle recalibration, and, preparing for timed intercourse with no known barriers. These arcs focus on regulating rhythm, reducing inflammation, and improving blood flow.
Medium-Length Arcs (10–14 visits over 2–3 months)
Best for: PCOS, thyroid patterns (Hashimoto’s or subclinical hypo), luteal phase issues, irregular cycles, metabolic instability and, post-loss rebalancing. These arcs support hormone modulation, ovulation quality, luteal stability, and whole-system regulation.
Longer Arcs (3–6 months with weekly or biweekly care)
Best for: endometriosis, low ovarian reserve / early ovarian aging, recurrent pregnancy loss, unexplained infertility, chronic inflammation, and multi-factor fertility cases. These arcs focus on egg quality, endometrial health, mitochondrial support, inflammation reduction, and optimized blood circulation.
You’ll always know your timeline, your milestones, and why each step matters. I build every treatment arc around your physiology — not guesswork.
Fertility FAQ
Clear answers to the questions every woman asks.
No. Many women start care months before TTC to improve cycle health, hormone stability, and foundational fertility markers.
Most fertility cases respond best to weekly treatment, especially in the first 3–6 months. Some phases—like IUI or IVF—may require twice in one week or day.
Yes. I coordinate care with RE clinics, and many women begin acupuncture during medicated cycles, IUI, or IVF.
That’s common. Fertility often shifts before labs show abnormalities. We use whole-system pattern diagnosis to understand your physiology clearly.
Yes. Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and targeted supplements can improve motility, morphology, oxidative stress, and overall sperm health.
The Mini Precision Consult is short, in-person, and designed to help you choose your next step.
The Virtual Strategy Session is longer, deeper, and focused on cycle interpretation, lab review, and mapping your fertility timeline — no clinic visit required.
Not always — and never in a one-size-fits-all way. When supplements are appropriate, your plan is targeted, evidence-informed, and customized to your physiology, not pulled from a book or a generic fertility checklist.
Most women don’t need dozens of products. They need the right formulas based on their patterns, labs, cycle dynamics, inflammation load, and nutrient status — not a supplement dump. You’ll receive a precise, strategic plan that supports your fertility without overwhelming your system (or your budget).
Most fertility patients do benefit from herbal support — and here’s why:
Chinese herbal medicine allows us to target root patterns that acupuncture and supplements alone can’t fully address, especially when it comes to:
- cycle regulation
- ovulation quality
- luteal phase stability
- blood flow and endometrial health
- inflammation and pelvic congestion
- stress physiology and sleep
- thyroid-related fertility patterns
- post-pill recalibration
Herbs strengthen the underlying systems that influence fertility. They improve the terrain, not just the symptoms — which is why they’re used in nearly every evidence-informed Eastern reproductive medicine approach. Your herbal plan is always customized to your cycle phase and your specific pattern, and it changes as your body changes.
