Trying to grow your family is such a beautiful, hope-filled journey, but it can also be one of the most emotionally challenging times in your life. For many women navigating IUI or IVF, there are moments of excitement mixed with uncertainty, waiting, and heartbreak.

That’s why emotional resilience, the ability to stay grounded and hopeful, matters so much during fertility treatment.

At The Oldershaw Clinic, acupuncture is the primary tool we offer to help you navigate this journey — supporting both your emotional and physical well-being as you move through fertility treatment.

Stress. Everybody’s got it. How do you manage it?

In our demanding world, having effective strategies to manage one’s stress is essential for well-being. Acupuncture is an easy, enjoyable way to relieve stress. “I feel so relaxed” is the #1 comment I hear from patients after their acupuncture treatments. When patients get referred to my clinic by doctors, often it is because they want help with reducing the symptoms of stress using acupuncture.

How does stress impact your health?
The stress response is a survival mechanism, designed to help us survive a threatening situation. Back in the days of hunting and gathering, those threats were short-lived, and the stress response came and went. In today’s world, stress tends to be chronic, and we stay in a state of high stress for long periods of time. This long-term stress is damaging to our health. The first thing that happens during any stress response is a hormone called cortisol is released from the adrenal glands into the body.

"Before I started going to the Oldershaw Clinic, I was having high anxiety and trouble sleeping. My mother passed away earlier this year and my mind and body was still trying to process it. Nicole, my acupuncturist has been a wonderful support in helping me with my anxiety and sleep. Since I’ve been seeing Nicole, my sleep has improved drastically and my anxiety has reduced. Oldershaw Clinic is a very warm, relaxing place where you leave feeling restored. I highly recommend it!"

"I've seen Nicole for regular acupuncture appointments both from when I was going through my IVF fertility journey and then again once I became pregnant. She not only has shown me the amazing healing power of acupuncture, but she also has answered questions I've had regarding my fertility journey and pregnancy and even gives me sound, specific advice regarding my diet. Her breadth of knowledge of fertility challenges has been invaluable. I couldn't imagine having gone through this journey without her regular assistance."

At The Oldershaw Clinic, we specialize in women’s health, and we understand the unique hormonal challenges that arise during perimenopause. Let’s break down how acupuncture works to support hormonal health and why it’s a powerful tool for navigating perimenopause symptoms.
