"A human being is water. When Essence and Qi of male and female unite, water flows between them and assumes a form."~Guan Zhong
Whether beginning the process of conceiving or after months or years of
struggling with fertility, Chinese Medicine holds great benefit toward
improving your health thereby improving your fertility, and many couples
feel they are able to gain a deeper understanding into their health and
fertility struggles through the wisdom of Chinese Medicine. Ideally,
preconception care should begin six months prior to trying to conceive
or undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), though couples
turn to Chinese Medicine at all stages of trying to conceive.
What makes our
approach to fertility different? While many fertility acupuncturists use
generic fertility protocols and herbal formulas or are turning toward
integration with western medicine and IVF clinics to see results, we utilize a
Classical Chinese Medicine approach so your treatment plan will be unique to
you and your situation.
In addition to extensive continuing education in reproductive medicine
using Chinese Medicine from Yaron Seidman, DAOM, Jane Lyttleton, LAc, Brandon Horn, LAc,
Wendy Yu, LAc, and Sabine Wilms, we also have
training in Western reproductive medicine from Paul Magarelli, MD and
Leslie Oldershaw, LAc. We have worked with couples using assisted
reproductive technologies
(ART) from Overlake Reproductive Health, Northwest Center for
Reproductive Sciences, Pacific
Northwest Fertility, and Seattle Reproductive Medicine. Rather than
provide an exhaustive list, please call or email us for a free
consultation to discuss your situation. We strive to not only
be here to assist you directly with your healthcare, but to help you
understand all of the information and procedures you may
undergo throughout your journey toward conception and parenthood.
