Whether you have been trying to conceive for months or years, or you simply want to prepare for your future with preconception health care.

Acupuncture is an ideal adjunct therapy for patients undergoing ART. Stress tends to go hand-in-hand with western fertility treatments and various studies have proven that acupuncture can help mitigate that stress on the body. Many REI’s approve of acupuncture supporting their patients - calming the sympathetic nervous system and the effect of stress on the hormones, leading to improved blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, improved egg quality and improved uterine lining.

Tara Greenberg L.Ac, FABORM, MTOM is a fellow of the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM). ABORM is an international organization pioneering best practices in acupuncture and traditional Chinese reproductive medicine. Fellows are skilled Chinese medicine clinicians and educated researchers who contribute to the current body of knowledge with cutting edge innovations and integrative, evidence-based care.

FERTILITY &
IUI/IVF/FET SUPPORT

We work closely with many fertility centers, offering integrative care alongside reproductive endocrinologists.

This collaborative approach makes Point Holistic Wellness a clinic you can trust to support you through your IVF journey. As an ABORM fellow, I understand the process and medications and help to fill in the gaps; taking the time to explain and listen to your concerns, giving you a deeper understanding, of the sometimes confusing, western fertility landscape.

Since it takes about 3 months for a primary follicle (one of the millions women are born with) to become an antral follicle (one that is ready to be used in a cycle); it is recommended by doctors to start acupuncture 3 months prior to any ART treatments. This will help put you in the best place possible before spending precious time and resources on IVF. During this period the focus may be on improving egg quality, addressing lining issues or balancing hormones. Acupuncture is still beneficial if you have already started the IVF process or are about to implant an embryo.

This also goes for patients trying to conceive naturally, as it generally takes 1-3 months to see improvements in the cycle. Acupuncture can help diminish dysmenorrhea, regulate cycles, and facilitate ovulation.

MALE FACTOR
SUPPORT

Men are half of the equation and having a partner who is in optimal shape helps to complete the picture and narrow down the issues.

Since men regenerate sperm often we have a significant opportunity to impact fertility. Acupuncture and nutrition and lifestyle changes have shown to increase sperm count, motility, and morphology; along with the stress that comes with trying to conceive.

“I never help anyone get pregnant. I've never helped anyone become fertile. That is something life endows. What I can do is help you find balance in your life - internally, externally; perhaps remove some of the obstructions and remove some of the deficiencies. But larger than that, my goal with you is to help you find and discover where these imbalances are that prevents life coming THROUGH you”.

Randine Lewis, author of the Infertility Cure and The Way of the Fertile Soul.
