Navigating an IVF cycle can be a stressful and emotional journey. Did you know that Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, can be a valuable partner in your success?

Acupuncture doesn’t just help you relax; it can directly impact your fertility by:
-Improving the follicular environment and increasing egg and s***m quality.
-Enhancing blood flow to your reproductive organs for better oxygen and nutrient delivery.
-Regulating hormone levels especially after retrieval and before beginning a transfer.
-Mitigating side effects to the medications used throughout the process.
-Reducing stress hormones (cortisol), which are known to negatively affect success rates.

We recommend starting acupuncture three months before your cycle for the best results, but even if you’ve already started medication, it’s not too late to begin. Let’s work together to give you the best possible chance of conceiving. Reach out to learn more about how we can support you on this journey!

Did you know that taking a holistic approach to fertility may improve your chances of conceiving?
At Hearth, we focus on preconception health, helping to promote balance in our body, mind, and spirit. We use acupuncture, nutrition, and herbal medicine to:
-Regulate your menstrual cycle and support each of its four phases.
-Optimize hormone levels for better follicular development and ovulation.
-Improve blood flow to reproductive organs and build a healthy uterine lining.
-Support the body to aid in implantation and warming the uterus and the production of progesterone to lead to healthy pregnancy.

This approach is beneficial whether you’re trying to conceive with or without the support of ART methods.  We’ll also work with you to address diet and lifestyle factors, reduce stress, ease anxiety, and support men’s fertility too.
Let’s work together to create a solid foundation for your future family. We would be honored to support you on this journey!

At Hearth, we believe in the body’s innate ability to heal. A cornerstone of our approach is using “Food as Medicine” to create a strong, healthy foundation for your body. A hormone-healthy diet can stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and provide the essential nutrients needed to support fertility, optimize hormonal balance for an easier menstrual cycle, and support emotional well being. 

Our key dietary recommendations focus on:
-Prioritizing Protein & Healthy Fats
-Warm, Cooked Foods
-Nutrient-Dense Ingredients
-Fiber for Detoxification
-Hydration is Key

Making mindful dietary choices can have a profound impact on your well-being. We’re here to guide you with recommendations if you are interested in incorporating nutrition guidance into your treatment.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a gentle, powerful way to support you throughout your entire pregnancy journey, from conception to birth and into postpartum. As your body undergoes incredible changes, we provide compassionate care to ease discomfort and maintain optimal balance. Incorporating acupuncture into your wellness plan can help with common concerns like morning sickness, fatigue, heartburn, and body pain, as well as lead to an easier delivery and smoother postpartum transition. It can help navigate more complex perinatal conditions and support you alongside traditional care with an OB or midwife.

In the final weeks of your pregnancy, we focus on birth preparation to promote a healthy and efficient labor. Starting around weeks 34-35, we work to ensure your baby is in the optimal position, ripen the cervix, boost your energy, and calm your mind. As you reach your due date, we can also provide acupuncture for labor initiation to gently encourage the onset of contractions when your body and baby are ready, helping you either avoid medical induction or navigate and ease the process of a medical induction. We’re here to support you in creating a calm, positive experience as you prepare to welcome your baby.

Hearth Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

Hearth Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine provides a modern approach to Traditional Chinese medicine, utilizing acupuncture, herbal and dietary therapy, TCM modalities, and integrative medicine to create balance within and support the body in its natural ability to heal. We are dedicated to healing on every level with an emphasis on women’s health. The name hearth encompasses what we aim to provide to our patients. A warm, inviting, supportive, and nurturing space that symbolizes home and comfort. If you’re looking for a space to build lasting and sustainable health we invite you to come in.

Kerry is a licensed acupuncturist and board-certified Chinese herbalist specializing in the treatment of women’s health with a focus in fertility, prenatal and postpartum care. Beyond the scope of women’s health, Hearth treats both women and men and provides general care for anyone looking to live a life of sustained health and well being. Kerry’s priority is to offer a supportive and healing space for patients who seek optimal health, wholeness, and balance in their lives. She aims to provide the highest level of care and compassion to her patients, providing them with all the tools they need to reach their goals of health and wellbeing by looking at the body and person as a whole, not merely a series of symptoms. In treatment she will utilize a variety of modalities through the use of acupuncture, Chinese and western herbs, lifestyle modifications, integrative care, moxibustion, cupping, nutrition therapy, and bodywork. Before moving to Asheville, North Carolina, she and her husband lived in Portland, Oregon where she began her career in Chinese medicine. The call to live closer to family, set down roots, and the pull of new opportunities brought them to Asheville. Kerry received her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and holds a Fine Arts degree in Ballet from the University of Utah. Currently, she is pursuing an additional certification in Herbal Medicine for Women in a course taught by Dr. Aviva Romm. In her time away from the office and love of medicine, she enjoys spending time with family, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.
