I love to help patients who are feeling stuck with their fertility journey and want assistance in conceiving naturally, desire support with an upcoming IUI or IVF cycle, or with their pregnancy. I believe that becoming healthier in mind, body and spirit leads to enhanced fertility and the process of conception and pregnancy are supported through a balance of healthy lifestyle and diet, as well as individualized supplementation and Chinese herbal formulas that address the unique patterns, disorders and conditions that are specific to your fertility challenge.

Acupuncture in Pacific Grove - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Pacific Grove acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
