Acupuncture gently invites the body to find its’ own natural state of homeostasis/balance, or order. The skill of the acupuncturist is in the selection, and combination, of a few well-chosen points to gently nudge the individual body towards health. At the basis of Chinese Medicine is the belief that the body and mind are intrinsically linked and that the mind can create a dis-ease of the physical body. Therefore, acupuncture is a therapy that will treat the mind and the body as an inseparable unit.
Our emotions can create internal imbalances in our Qi resulting in ill health, and acupuncture strives to free the individual from being dominated by strong emotions that can interfere with the smooth flow of life force. It aims to restore the spirit of a person by balancing the emotions, freeing the mind and restoring a natural order within the body.

For thousands of years Chinese Medicine has been helping couples build families. Clinical case reports support the value of acupuncture in the lead up to conception.
It is critical to plan for a pregnancy as you would any other lifetime event like training for a marathon, planning a wedding or building a house. All of these activities took a plan and many steps to get to the beautiful end result. There are many things to do before you start trying to have a baby.
Did you know that it takes approximately 120 days for an egg and 90 days for sperm to develop to full maturity? If you are trying to conceive now, you are using eggs and sperm that have been created 3-4 months ago – how was your health then?
What are the benefits of Preconception Care?
Fertility Support for Women
For Partners
When should you start having acupuncture?
Three months of Preconception Care ensures your body is in the most receptive state possible to conceive and go on to birth a healthy baby.
Preconception Care is recommended for natural cycles and highly recommended for couples who are planning to undergo assisted techniques including IUI and IVF cycles. I like to see patients weekly in order to balance hormones, regulate cycles and address any underlying disharmony in the body.
