Acupuncture is used worldwide to support women going through IVF and IUI procedures using proven protocols for helping your body prepare.

Acupuncture, herbs, supplements and nutrition/lifestyle changes can support couples in optimizing fertility. Premature ovarian failure, diminished ovarian reserve, blocked tubes, elevated FSH, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are common causes of infertility.

Supporting men with low sperm counts and poor sperm quality is also available.

Women benefit from acupuncture during all phases of pregnancy. Support for preventing miscarriage, helping alleviate nausea and fatigue, reducing swelling and overall body pain. Acupuncture starting at 36-37 weeks helps to prepare the body for labour as well.

The postpartum fourth trimester is a special time when couples need support and nourishment. Acupuncture can help with recovery from birthing, such as with body pain, hormone imbalances, low milk supply, retained placenta, urinary difficulties and general fatigue.

The Acutonics Healing System is a non-invasive treatment that is similar to acupuncture or acupressure. An amazing tool for children and needle sensitive patients!

The tuning forks have different healing properties according to their sound vibration or musical note. They are struck on an activator then placed on the body or above the body, on specific acupuncture points and meridians.

The sound waves from the forks vibrate and travel deep into the energy pathways to stimulate physical, mental and emotional healing and balance.

Cupping Therapy is an ancient method of healing that partners well with acupuncture or as its own therapy. It involves placing glass or silicone cups on various parts of the body to promote blood flow and circulation.

The cups create a suction and lift the tissue which creates more flow dispersing stagnation and congestion. It helps with muscle tension, pain, stimulates the immune system and drains excess fluids and toxins.

Moxibustion involves the heating of a herb called mugwort to specific acupuncture points in the body. The warming action from moxibustion dispels cold and dampness creating blood flow and circulation.

In the future I plan to offer herbal formulations I have created based on years of experience with clients.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are very helpful in treating any concerns a woman may have.

Here are a few examples of what I see in my practice:

PMS
Painful periods
Irregular periods
Ammenorhea
Dysfunctional bleeding/spotting
Endometriosis
Fibroids/cysts/polyps
Headaches
Backaches
Vaginitis
Vaginismus
Urinary Incontinence

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on the theory that all of the organ systems support each other and need to be in balance. When they aren’t in balance, disease can occur.

TCM herbalism is complex and each individual will have a unique set of imbalances and underlying constitution.

Using tongue and pulse techniques, I see and feel what is happening in the body and decide what herbal formula would best support that individual.

TCM herbalism uses herbs together in a synergistic way and these formulas have been used for thousands of years. Rarely is one herb used by itself as it’s the energy of the herbs together that make these formulas so effective.

The herbs I use are very high quality and are tested for heavy metals and pesticides.
