Acupuncture is based on channel or meridian theory. When acupuncture is being administered, very fine needles are inserted to activate various points on these meridians. Stimulation of these points alters the flow of energy(qi) and blood to restore balance to the body. This ancient medicine promotes calmness and wellness by altering various neurotransmitters. The needles are sterile and disposable and are retained for approximately 20 minutes.

Acupuncture can support you throughout your conception, IVF journey and throughout your entire pregnancy. It promotes blood flow to the ovaries, testes and the uterus during your natural cycle or IVF/IUI cycle. Throughout your first and second trimesters, acupuncture can help alleviate nausea, pelvic pain, insomnia, headaches, vein issues, anxiety and stress. In late third trimester, acupuncture can assist with optimal positioning, descent of baby, softening and effacement of the cervix.
