Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a powerful ally for preparing the body to conceive, increasing the chances of getting pregnant, and supporting a full-term pregnancy. It works by harmonizing the body’s natural rhythms and offering both physical and emotional support throughout the fertility journey.
It can help to:
-
Regulate the menstrual cycle, whether it's irregular, too short, too long, or absent
-
Improve egg quality and support healthy ovulation
-
Nourish the uterus and thicken the endometrium to encourage successful implantation
-
Reduce the risk of miscarriage during early pregnancy
-
Calm stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact fertility
Acupuncture enhances fertility, whether you are trying to conceive naturally, or are undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Ideally, treatments should begin at least 3 months before your conception plans, in order to allow time for the body to respond. The course of treatment typically spans 3 to 6 months, depending on your specific needs. A personalized care plan is created during the very first consultation.
If you're already starting an IUI or IVF cycle in the coming month, we can adapt and increase the frequency of sessions to support each stage more closely.
Acupuncture & Pregnancy
Your baby is on the way! While this is a beautiful chapter, pregnancy often brings its share of physical and emotional changes. Acupuncture offers gentle and effective support throughout.
It may help to:
-
Relieve nausea and vomiting
-
Support overall energy levels
-
Improve sleep quality
-
Ease musculoskeletal pain (back, pelvis, legs, etc.)
-
Promote deep mental and physical relaxation
-
Encourage optimal baby positioning toward the end of pregnancy (weeks 32–35)
-
Prepare the body for labour with a series of 3 treatments (weeks 37–39)
-
Support labour induction naturally, if the due date has passed
