“Went to Melani and team this afternoon for my first (of many) acupuncture sessions to handle my stress and anxiety. Sarah in reception was absolutely wonderful and welcoming upon arrival and Melani made me feel so comfortable during the appointment. I was a bit hesitant coming in about the needles, but Melani is an artist. I felt NOTHING. I felt the most relaxed all week in the appointment. Highly recommend Melani and team!”

What kinds of fertility conditions can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture helps your body create the best environment for a pregnancy to thrive. For that reason, it can be used to help manage a wide range of fertility roadblocks and reproductive symptoms.
How many acupuncture treatments will I need to get pregnant?
This answer varies for each person. If you have a pre-existing health condition, we may need to address that before we address fertility directly. The body is very complex and there are no guarantees. But, you were made to reproduce – your body wants this to happen! Sometimes, your body just needs a little extra guidance, that is where acupuncture comes in to help.
What should I expect at my first fertility acupuncture visit?
We will go through your medical history in detail, then we will assess your fertility history and set up a Personalized Treatment Plan specific to your goals and treatment. I will explain everything in detail and answer any questions you may have. I am here to listen and support you through this journey, as well as help get you results.
When do we start doing acupuncture in the process of trying to have a baby?
The perfect time to start is 3-6 months before you are wanting to start trying to get pregnant. If you are going to be trying any Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), such as an IUI or IVF, I suggest starting treatment at least 3 months before the procedure to help prepare your body before the procedures. We think of the womb as a ‘garden’ that needs tending before you plant a seed, just as nature does.
Are fertility treatments only for people trying to get pregnant?
Acupuncture can help all parties involved. Acupuncture can also be used to increase sperm counts, sperm quality, and more.
Do I stop coming in when I get pregnant?
No, acupuncture can safely assist you throughout your entire pregnancy and help with various pain, aches, discomfort, nausea/vomiting, carpal tunnel, insomnia, etc., that may arise. It also helps with maintaining a healthy pregnancy, which would be important for those with recurrent miscarriages.
Once you are pregnant, we will re-evaluate your treatment plan to support your body during pregnancy.
Will my insurance pay for fertility acupuncture treatments?
At this time insurance companies do not typically pay for fertility acupuncture sessions. They will pay for most pain-related conditions, we have to verify your benefits to know exactly what pain conditions are covered. Click here to verify your insurance.

We welcome with open hearts and arms, our LGBTQ+ community, single parents undergoing ART, surrogates, egg donors, and everyone else. No matter what your family looks like, we support you equally and we will do everything in our power to make sure you are comfortable and cared for with respect.
“Melanie is really good at what she does. She makes sure I am comfortable and she walked me through the entire process. The facility is clean and calm with relaxing music. I would recommend anyone experiencing some pain to come here!”

“Melani was very well-versed in her craft and very professional. I felt welcomed and in a safe space. She listened to me as a client/patient and allowed me to guide the session with her expertise as a support. I felt some relief after one session and she clearly explained the treatment plan as a blueprint not a rigid formula or cure-all. The facilities a very clean and COVID/ all viral precautions were maintained for patient safety. So fortunate to have found her!”
