OUR APPROACH
Fertility Acupuncture is unique in that we asses more than just your reproductive health. Your whole health is important in becoming your most fertile as well as passing your best genes onto your baby
1. NOURISH THE SOIL BEFORE PLANTING THE SEED.
Healthy bodies are fertile bodies and they create healthy babies! An important step on any fertility journey is implementing health promoting lifestyle changes, like improved nutrition, decreased exposure to chemicals in our everyday environment and improved sleep. The idea of “nourishing the soil before planting the seed” applies to both partners and has been shown (both clinically and in research) to lead to increased rates of live birth, decreased rates of childhood asthma and allergies and overall healthier outcomes for baby and parents.
