EASING STRESS

  • Even if you weren’t stressed when you began your path to conceiving, the process can quickly become overwhelming. This is especially true if you are using western reproductive therapy. (IUI or IVF)

  • Consequently, the systems of the body that need to function properly, such as ovulation, are easily interrupted.

  • Acupuncture is most effective at balancing your system. Conception has the best chance of occuring when all systems, that is the physical and the emotional, are at their best.

  • Acupuncture can balance your body and mind, and make your path to conecption much easier.
