Acupuncture for Fertility, Pregnancy, Women’s Health and Wellness in Oakland, CA

This one never gets old 💚
Andrea came to me after hearing statistics that made her feel like her dream was impossible. She was 42. She wanted a baby. And she did the work.
Unassisted conception at 42. A healthy four month old boy.
This is what I want every woman who walks through my door to know: statistics describe populations. They do not describe YOU.
If you are navigating fertility after 40, dealing with PCOS, irregular cycles, or just feeling like your window is closing, please hear this. Your story is not written yet.
I am here to support your body, calm your nervous system, and help you do everything possible to get where you want to go.
Holistic fertility support that works alongside whatever path you choose; unassisted conception, IUI, IVF, or simply getting your body ready.

Spring is Liver season in Traditional Chinese Medicine 🌿
 
And if you’ve been feeling...
- More irritable than usual
- Bloated or constipated
- PMS that’s worse than normal
- Tension headaches
- Wired but exhausted
 
...your Liver qi might be asking for attention.
 
In TCM, the Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of qi and blood throughout the body. When it’s under stress; from poor sleep, alcohol, processed foods, or emotional tension, that flow gets stuck.
 
For women with PCOS, endometriosis, or hormonal imbalances, Liver qi stagnation can make everything worse: heavier periods, more pain, mood swings, irregular cycles.
 
Spring is actually the BEST time to support your Liver:
🥬 Eat more leafy greens (dandelion, arugula, kale)
🚶‍♀️ Gentle daily movement; walks, yoga, stretching
😴 Prioritize sleep before midnight (Liver regenerates 11pm–3am in TCM)
🌿 Acupuncture to move stagnation and regulate hormones
☕ Liver-supportive herbs: milk thistle, dandelion root, schisandra
 
Your hormones are deeply connected to your Liver. Give it some love this spring 💚

5 PCOS MYTHS I HEAR ALL THE TIME 🚨

Myth #1: It's just about your period
Myth #2: Birth control is your only option
Myth #3: You can't get pregnant
Myth #4: Just lose weight
Myth #5: It's not that serious (!!!)

PCOS affects up to 10% of women and is one of the most under-treated, misunderstood hormonal conditions out there.

The good news? It IS treatable; holistically, medically, or both. From acupuncture and herbal medicine to targeted supplements and (yes, if appropriate) newer tools like GLP-1 medications. There are more options than ever.

This is why I do what I do 💕

After a failed IUI, she came in feeling desperate and discouraged. One month later: pregnant.

Here's what I want you to know if you're in the middle of fertility treatment:

It's never too late to add acupuncture to your protocol. Even if you've already started IUI or IVF cycles. Even if you've had failures. Even if you feel like you've tried everything.

Acupuncture supports fertility by:
✓ Improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
✓ Regulating hormones naturally
✓ Reducing stress (which impacts conception)
✓ Supporting egg quality
✓ Optimizing your body's response to fertility meds
✓ Preparing your uterine lining for implantation

And once you conceive? I'm here to support you through a healthy pregnancy too.

If you're struggling with infertility or going through IUI/IVF, you don't have to do it alone. Let's work together.

5 ENDOMETRIOSIS MYTHS I HEAR ALL THE TIME 🚨

Myth #1: "Painful periods are normal"
Myth #2: "You need surgery to diagnose it"
Myth #3: "Birth control is the only option"
Myth #4: "You can't get pregnant with endo"
Myth #5: "It's all in your head" (we're not even dignifying this one 🙄)

The truth? Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, takes an average of 7-10 YEARS to diagnose, and is vastly misunderstood.

As a vetted endometriosis specialist through iCareBetter and FABORM-certified acupuncturist, I see patients who've been dismissed, gaslit, and told "it's just bad cramps" for YEARS.

Your pain is real. Your symptoms matter. And you deserve comprehensive care.
