NATURAL FERTILITY ENHANCEMENT
When you’re ready to start your family, it’s never too early to prepare your body for conception. If you’re thinking of conceiving soon or have been trying for years, our fertility enhancement acupuncture sessions will assist you on your conception journey. We’re honored to be a part of making your dream of parenthood a reality.
We use our years of experience and knowledge of natural and western medicine, combined with the latest research, to craft a customized treatment plan for you. This plan may include acupuncture, herbs, supplements, and nutrition support – whatever works best for your individual circumstances.
We reassess your needs often and adjust your treatment plan as your symptoms or level of medical intervention change to ensure you’re getting the care that best fits your needs.
IVF/IUI Support
No matter the diagnosis, we will support you through your IVF/IUI or medication cycles to enhance your chances of conceiving and having a healthy, successful pregnancy.
In fact, clinical research has shown that IVF outcomes are about 50% more effective when combined with acupuncture, than compared to IVF alone.
We work closely with Reproductive Endocrinologists (REs) and OB-GYNs throughout Burlington, Vermont and Chittenden County. We’re familiar with their treatment protocols, as well as the Western medicine involved, so when necessary, we provide coordinated care between our practice and theirs. We are proud to provide cohesive treatment plans in conjunction with Burlington’s REs and OB-GYNs.
MISCARRIAGE SUPPORT AND PREVENTIONS
The resources we use depend on your needs.
Our clinic is a safe space for you to discuss your loss and ask any questions about the implications of conceiving again.
We understand that losing a pregnancy is a difficult experience. That’s why we strive to provide more than just medical treatment; we are also here for emotional support when you’re ready to try to conceive again. Our team focuses on treating the root cause of miscarriages, specifically, if you’ve experienced multiple losses, so your next pregnancy can go as smoothly as possible and have the best chances of a positive outcome.
