An acupuncture clinic located in Doylestown, PA offering acupuncture services to support fertility, reproductive health, pregnancy, and postpartum support

As the year comes to a close, I’m taking a little time to rest, reflect, and recharge.

This year has held so many beautiful moments in my clinic. I love this work so much.

I also relocated & expanded my clinic from Newtown, PA to my hometown Doylestown, PA. Thank you to all my patients from the old location who have so generously followed me and continued their care. I am so so grateful. And thank you to all my new patients in this location. I am so grateful that you found me and are willing to work together. Your trust in my care lights me up.

I’ll be on vacation and away from the clinic and communications for the next two weeks (Dec 20th through Jan 5th) but I’m already looking forward to seeing both familiar and new faces in the new year. If you’ve been thinking about starting acupuncture or returning to care, now’s a great time to schedule — my calendar for January is open and is booking up. You can book an appointment by heading to the link in my bio.

Reflection feels just as important as momentum. I’m giving myself these next couple of weeks to make space to pause, to integrate everything this year has held, and to prepare for all that’s to come in the next. We are coming to the end of the Wood Snake year (it ends February 16th) and into the Fire Horse year. Look to what still needs to be shed in these final days.

Here’s to rest, renewal, and a gentle close to the year.

Back to Basics: How Does Acupuncture Help Fertility? 🤔

Simply put, it boils down to two mechanisms:

1) Enhances circulation. 🩸

(This isn’t theoretical. We can actually measure this- it’s cool to see.)

Acupuncture brings better circulation, blood flow, and adequate nutrients to the reproductive organs. It restores optimal communication from the brain 🧠 to the ovaries (and hormonal communication between all systems, really).

2) Supports the nervous system by upregulating our parasympathetic, “rest and digest” nervous system.

Modern life makes it hard to access this state of rest and digest, and many of us spend too much time in our sympathetic, “running from the tiger” nervous system, which means our wise bodies prioritize blood flow to larger muscle groups to help us “run from the tiger.”

When you UP regulate the parasympathetic, you DOWN regulate sympathetic.

This creates a beautiful hormonal and circulatory cascade so blood flow can get to the reproductive organs.

As a fertility acupuncturist, I am not a baby maker.

My job is not to “make you” conceive. There is no forcing here. My job is to facilitate the space for YOU to conceive. This is your body, your experience.

My role as a practitioner is to hold space for all parts of this experience.

And that means so much more than a positive pregnancy test.. It means working towards better sleep, less period pain, more energy, less stress, and more MORENESS. To be fully immersed in this world.

Need help making space in your life to conceive? Book an appointment with me at the link in my bio.

This medicine is thousands of years old and the ideas, concepts, and ways of supporting fertility may sound a bit foreign, but there’s a reason that we’re still practicing and using this medicine today. It slaps 😂

When we say warm the womb- consider that through the lens of increasing circulation and blood flow to the reproductive organs.

When we say move liver qi- we can look at that as encouraging ovulation, reducing stress, and managing pms.

When we say nourish blood and yin- compare that to encouraging a thicker endometrial lining optimal for implantation.

When we say strengthen the kidneys, hold that to encouraging endocrine function for hormonal balance.

And warming yang is akin to supporting progesterone.

While these terms in Chinese Medicine are so much more comprehensive and nuanced in the practice, I like to give my patients things to understand. Connecting to and understanding this medicine is a gift, one that has been practiced for thousands of years.

What does this point do?

I get this question a lot. And it’s sometimes hard to answer.

There are over 365 acupuncture points. And they all have unique names, functions, and roles to play. But, what I’ve noticed is that a lot of people tend to think that one point will do the work for one thing. Oh that point will help with my period cramps. Oh that point will help me regulate ovulation. That point was used because we’re trying to increase cervical mucus.

But, that singular view is not how acupuncture works. Acupuncture is a HOLISTIC medicine. I know, I know. Holistic has been so overused, it almost doesn’t mean anything anymore. But, this medicine and practice is that. It’s taking the ephemeral and constant, the forever and the never, the yin and the yang and blending them into reality. It’s alchemical.

So one point may have many roles to play! Acupuncture points work together as a point protocol. I chose all of the points in my head during our conversations with the full knowledge that they will work together to treat YOU. I hope you’re seeing the intention in this, there are no two identical ways to treat people. If two people come in struggling with fertility, the chances are that I will be doing two completely different point protocols (and giving different recommendations, homework, and support!)

This is what I LOVE so much about this medicine. You don’t have to fit into a box. Or criteria. We just treat you.

And when we’re working on reproductive health, fertility, periods, pregnancy, this comes in so handy because those struggles are also so nuanced!

When treating fertility, there will always be a space held for grief in my clinic. I walked beside so many who have experienced losses. I’m often crying right alongside you. Losses can look so different for so many people. There is space for all of it in my clinic.

Acupuncture can be a place of rest and recovery. A place to cry and experience emotions. Francis Weller, a grief counselor, writes this so beautifully: Grief is not meant to be carried alone; the community’s presence helps “contain” and “hold” the grief so it doesn’t become stuck internally.

What I say to this is, find your space with your community, family, friends, therapists, acupuncturists, and network. Holding grief alone makes for an isolating experience.

There is a technique in acupuncture called surrounding the dragon. It sounds pretty bad ass if you ask me. But, it is a treatment designed for treating issues on the surface of the body. We gently place acupuncture needles around the area — not directly into the scar — creating a circle (or sometimes an oval) that “surrounds” what we call the dragon — the source of pain, tension, or stagnation. By doing so, we invite movement back in, guiding qi and blood to flow through tissue that may have been blocked or isolated.

This technique:
✨ Softens tight or puckered scars
✨ Helps sensation return to numb areas
✨ Reduces pain, pulling, or tingling
✨ Encourages emotional reintegration — helping you feel more connected to your body again

When I was in my Maternity Acupuncture certification course we learned how to use this technique (which I have used for cysts, shingles, rashes, random scars) for c-section recovery! So interesting, especially for all those mama’s who feel disconnected from their bodies after c-section.

This is just a small technique I use for c-section recovery in my clinic. I love helping new parents come back to themselves, shifted, but familiar.

I’ve been feeling so grateful lately. Maybe it’s the season. Maybe it’s the fact that we are coming to the close of a year.

Im feeling so grateful for the people who walk through my door, trust me with their stories, and allow me to be a part of their healing — thank you. For the quiet moments in the treatment room — the deep breaths, the tears, the laughter — all of it matters. For this work that lets me hold space, witness transformation, and see what’s possible when we slow down and reconnect.

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day — the schedules, the to-dos, the constant movement. But today, I’m pausing to really take it in.

This practice. This community. This calling.

Thank you for being here, for reading, for showing up — in whatever season you’re in. I’m so grateful.

Why aren’t more people talking about postpartum care? Here’s an answer that may stir the pot: because it isn’t convenient and it doesn’t align with our societal expectations and financial systems.

After birth, so much attention shifts to the baby — but mothers are also healing, physically and emotionally. In Chinese medicine, this stage is deep Yin — a time for rest, nourishment, and recovery.

But, our society does not prioritize rest. It reaffirms getting our “body back” or going back to work 6 weeks after a vaginal birth, 8 weeks with a c-section. It prioritizes and demands that people must choose financial stability over recovery, care, and support. God, I am so tired of hearing it. My friend just told me about taking 3 weeks of her own personal vacation time to extend her maternity leave to 9 weeks. Anyone else really tired of this nonsense?

Anyway, some of the ways that I am trying to change our narrative around postpartum is reminding people that acupuncture can be a wonderful support option and I am going to be cheering you on to rest and recover. Postpartum care and support is something I was trained and certified in with my Maternity Acupuncture Program beyond my Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

You deserve care, too. Postpartum recovery isn’t a luxury — it’s essential.

If you’re newly postpartum and are needing support, head to the link in my bio and book an appointment with me. I’d love to see you on the table.
