​

Initial acupuncture sessions for fertility are 90 minutes. This is a longer session as it includes talking in depth about your medical history, cycles, previous western or holistic treatment related to fertility, general state of health, and looking over medications and supplements. This information helps Shannon uncover any factors that may be contributing from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective and guides the course of treatment. After going over your medical history you will receive your acupuncture treatment. After your session you will receive recommendations to support your body and fertility on whole.

​

Holistic Fertility Recommendations Can Include​

• Optimal timing of treatments in the cycle

• Empowerment through support in lifestyle choices and nutrition recommendations

• Chinese herbs or herbal medicine recommendations aside from TCM

• Supplement recommendations

• Referrals for other modalities or providers that could be supportive

• Support with stress reduction

• Emotional connection and compassionate listening 

• Conjunctive support with medication, IUI, and IVF

Acupuncture & Cycle Health ​

Acupuncture can address and support cycle health in various ways.  It can be a great support in managing symptoms, regulating the cycle, and supporting women through the ebbs and flows of the rhythm that our menstrual cycles provide.  There is often some discomfort, changes in mood and energy, and shifts that occur in our bodies as our hormones drop and elevate throughout the cycle.  But ideally our cycles should be manageable, easeful, and gentle.

• Dysmenorrhea or painful periods
