Women’s Health And Fertility
Supporting Fertility, Naturally
Women and men both experience fertility issues. Whether you’re just beginning to explore your fertility, wishing to enhance it naturally, or you’re already on your IVF or IUI journey, Laura specifies a plan for your individual needs and body. For men, acupuncture improves sperm count and motility, and increases testosterone levels. Both partners benefit from acupuncture during a fertility treatment, as trying to conceive can be taxing and trying as a couple. To get the most benefit from fertility acupuncture, it is recommended to receive weekly or twice weekly acupuncture for 3-6 months before trying to conceive.
Pregnancy Acupuncture Support
As a mother to three, Laura understands the essential need to feel supported and cared for throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Prenatal acupuncture allows for the mother to reset the mind, and understand how if we help ourselves as mothers, everyone benefits. The symptoms of pregnancy change week to week. Throughout the beautiful, sometimes challenging process, acupuncture and bodywork help ease each transition and build qi and strength in the body. Acupuncture helps everything from nausea and pain, to calming the nervous system and insomnia. Acupuncture is a wonderful support to help the body prepare for labor. Weekly treatments in the final weeks of pregnancy have been shown to help reduce the need for medical interventions, and shorten labor times.
Acupuncture and IVF
IVF is not a for the faint of heart. It’s a demanding, emotional process and often follows years of hope, frustration, and grief. But acupuncture can support you during the process, and also increase your chances of success
There is also growing evidence that IVF optimizes conception rates when acupuncture is performed the same day as the embryos are planted.

“An acupuncture session with Laura always feels like a warm hug. This has been true wherever I've received a treatment but especially in the new space which feels calm, serene, and comforting.
From the moment I walk in, Laura always looks to understand the full picture of what's going on with me, physically, hormonally, emotionally, and what I might need in our session. Afterwards, it's so lovely to be greeted with a tea & a treat. I always look forward to this time spent in self-care and am grateful to Laura for helping me through two pregnancies, postpartum, before and beyond. "
