Conception Care 

Visit our fertility specialists for a focused, caring approach.

Fertility health and concerns can be sensitive and emotional for all parties concerned. Whether you are just starting to plan for your family or you have been trying to conceive for some time, acupuncture and Chinese medicine help in nurturing and supporting the body for both conception and healthy, sustained pregnancy.

While many Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists offer treatments for fertility conditions, most have not specifically studied fertility related issues and the range of corresponding treatments.
 

We are dedicated to assisting you throughout your journey. Our practitioners continue to complete extensive post-graduate training in fertility health with leading experts around the country and the world, while staying abreast of current trends and treatment modalities in the field of ART.  Each of our providers holds over 15 years of professional experience specifically dedicated to fertility and pregnancy/postpartum care.

Our treatment plans often focus on:

  • Increasing blood flow to the ovaries and uterus

  • Regulating hormones to encourage follicle development

  • Improving the endometrial lining and quality of eggs

  • Improving the quality of sleep

  • Reducing and managing stress

  • Improving the immune system

  • Decreasing the chance of miscarriage

Our treatment strategy goes beyond acupuncture and Chinese medicine, with a comprehensive approach to address multiple factors that may contribute to sub-optimal fertility — including lifestyle, nutrition, stress management, and so on.

We routinely work with those experiencing:

We need a healthy “new normal.” Your cycles, hormones, and gynecologic health are your body’s 6th Vital Sign — an innate set of signals that tell us much more about our health than we’ve ever been taught.

At Orchid, we believe your treatment for fertility concerns should be as unique as you are. Treatment for fertility often ranges from 3-10 months, but the length and course of treatments are always dependent on individual circumstances. We will outline a recommended treatment plan for you during your initial consultation and treatment, staying available for support every step of the way.

I have been beyond pleased with the treatments I've received at Orchid. Right from the start, they made me feel extremely comfortable and cared for. I truly believed the treatments helped me to get pregnant, and I am continuing treatments through pregnancy. Treatment has included so much more than just acupuncture — I have received so much advice and knowledge that has helped along the way. I would recommend Rebecca and Lisa in a heartbeat to anyone looking for help with fertility!
