LGBTQIA+ FERTILITY
I am a gender inclusive, queer positive provider committed to providing healthcare with sensitivity and respect.
Preconception planning:
For folks planning on becoming pregnant, acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments focus on regulating hormones, improving circulation & nourishing the reproductive organs for several months prior to trying to conceive, or throughout IUI / IVF treatments.
I also provide fertility awareness education so you learn to understand your fertile signs and keep track of your ovulation. This is crucial work for those planning on using donor sperm for insemination, as it helps time treatments to your specific fertile window.
Acupuncture + Fertility treatments:
When working with a fertility clinic, there are several options for LGBTQIA+ family building. Whether you are using IUI, donor egg, donor sperm, or reciprocal IVF with your partner, acupuncture can support the process.
Acupuncture + Donors:
For folks with known donors, acupuncture & Chinese herbal treatments can help support the health & quality of the eggs or sperm before donation.
For the Partners:
The process of becoming a parent is life changing for us all. The family building & fertility process affects all partners, and acupuncture is a great tool for reducing stress while navigating fertility treatments.
