When you’re trying to conceive, it’s so tempting to look for the one magic answer.

The one villain food.
The one supplement.

The one fix that explains why pregnancy hasn’t happened yet.

Right now, seed oils are getting blamed for everything, and I understand why that’s appealing. It gives you something to control in a process that feels wildly out of your control.

Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple.

Two people can eat the same “healthy” food and have completely different reactions For example, if kale leaves you bloated and miserable, that’s inflammation. You’re body is giving you clear feedback that kale may be healthy for you (in general), but not you, specifically.

Instead of chasing a single culprit, I work with my patients to help them start paying attention to their body’s very real signals.

I know you’re desperate for answers. I know you wish it were as easy as cutting out seed oils and finally seeing a positive test. But fertility is never about just one thing.

If you’re tired of guessing and ready for a more comprehensive plan, I’m here to help.

Experiencing repeat miscarriage often leaves you questioning everything you did. Please know that it isn’t your fault.

My role is to help restore balance, explore what’s been missed, and walk beside you so you don’t have to do this alone.

When it comes to fertility, inflammation is almost always a factor that needs to be addressed, but it is never just that.

When we work together, we’ll also discuss stress, sleep, and other lifestyle factors that impact your overall well-being and fertility.

I know how hard this journey is. Experiencing miscarriage takes a level of resiliency that’s hard to put into words. It’s heavy, and it can feel isolating, and you aren’t alone.

I’m here to support you and together, we’ll create a plan going forward.

Have you been experiencing hot flashes, irregular periods, mood swings, and disrupted sleep?

These may be signs of perimenopause, the precursor to menopause.

Since symptoms vary, and may even change over time, many perimenopausual and menopausal people are left confused and unsure. They know something is wrong, but they aren’t sure what (or how to fix it).

There are natural ways to manage menopause that include acupuncture, prescription Chinese medicine, and nutrition support can ease symptoms and help you feel more grounded in your body through the transition.

Please schedule a complimentary consultation to learn more!

“Getting pregnant in my early 40s was no small feat, and I experienced a lot of age bias along the way. However, working with Erin has been completely different. She always gave me hope and encouragement that it was possible for me, while still keeping me grounded in knowledge.

During my pregnancy, she helped me feel great and addressed any symptoms so skillfully.

Now on my breastfeeding journey, Erin is in my corner and has helped so much. I’m so grateful to have found her, after struggling to find the right fit with several other providers.

I highly recommend Erin for acupuncture - she is highly skilled, supportive, caring, and also creates a safe space for the tough emotions that come up on this journey.

Lastly, I also appreciate Jasmine, who oversees the clinic. She’s wonderfully kind, helpful, and highly organized. They are an amazing team in every way.” - D.T.

When you’re trying to conceive, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the information available.

If you’ve fallen down an internet rabbit hole looking for answers, you may be feeling more confused than before.

So, let’s bring it back to the basics - what are some small changes you can implement today that impact your fertility?

Regular movement you enjoy - Finding an activity you enjoy improves both your mental health and your hormone balance. It also has so many other benefits!

Managing Stress - Ongoing chronic stress can disrupt reproductive hormones.

I know there’s a lot to be stressed about in the world, but taking time in nature, being with friends, and having hobbies you look forward to doing can all reduce stress over time.

Tracking Your Cycle: Knowing your cycle and how it changes throughout the month not only helps you better understand your body, it is also something that helps medical providers like me better support you.

Eating Well: You don’t have to follow a fad diet to improve your fertility (in fact, please don’t).

Start with making small changes and choosing nutrient-rich, whole foods and cutting down on processed foods. These will naturally support your fertility.

Get Enough Rest: Aim for 7–9 hours each night. Rest is essential for hormone regulation.

Again, make small changes over time - limit screen use before bed if you have trouble falling asleep, plan to go to sleep at the same time every night, and move your sleep schedule back in 15 minute increments over several weeks rather than trying to make one big change at once.

You don’t have to be perfect to get pregnant, but these small changes will help you build a foundation for success.

Have you received the advice to “just keep trying” or “just do IVF”?

If you’ve experienced recurrent pregnancy loss, this well-meaning advice often misses the mark because, even with IVF, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

If the issue lies in the uterine lining’s receptivity, an autoimmune condition, or inflammation, even the most perfect embryos might face challenges.

This is why addressing the whole body is so important in fertility care.

As an acupuncturist, I focus on nurturing your body, mind, and spirit, working alongside your medical treatments to help create a more balanced and receptive environment for conception—whether naturally or through assisted methods.
