Arrive Reproductive Medicine

Arrive Reproductive Medicine Anne Chiaramonte, LAc, FAORM is a licensed acupuncturist and fellow of the American Board of Orienta

Anne fell in love with the philosophy of Chinese medicine as an anthropology student at UCLA. In 2004, she received her master’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Emperor’s College in Santa Monica. Anne’s interest in women’s health led her to Sydney, Australia, where she studied the integration of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and acupuncture with renowned author Jane Lyttleton. A year later she worked with Dr. Lifang Liang, author of "Acupuncture & IVF” and was part of one of the first onsite acupuncture programs for an IVF clinic at Pacific Fertility Center (PFC) in San Francisco. Anne also has advanced training in acupuncture orthopedics from Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Beverly Hills where she collaborated with many western doctors including neurologists, rheumatologists, radiologists and chiropractors. She is a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (FABORM) and a Diplomate of the National Board of Acupuncture Orthopedics (Dipl.NBAO). Anne’s practice is largely centered on couples that are trying to conceive. She sees many women with endocrine issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and helps support couples through the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. She loves to take the time to listen to her patients and to explain the integration of Chinese medicine with western medicine. She also sees men and women for other complaints such as allergies, back and neck pain, digestive issues, stress and low immunity. Anne lives in San Francisco with her husband, Ben, and very busy toddler, Luca. Anne recently joined the Mama Lounge team to be closer to her family in the city. Previously she was in private practice at Balance Restored in Marin for nearly ten years.

This patient came to see me feeling exhausted and unsure what else to try after months of treatment. She still deeply wanted to become a parent, but needed a different approach.

We stepped back and looked at the full picture, running comprehensive labs to better understand her hormones and overall health, and created a personalized plan that included acupuncture and custom herbal support. The goal was not to push the body, but to gently restore balance and create the right environment for pregnancy.

Sometimes the body just needs foundational support and a nudge in the right direction.

There are three key windows in your cycle that matter when trying to conceive, yet most women are only told about one...

🌿 Egg quality window - lifestyle factors 3-4 months before ovulation or egg retrieval can impact egg quality
🌿 Fertile window - the day of ovulation and up to 6 days before ovulation. Cervical mucus and s***m quality make a big difference during this time
🌿 Implantation window - the lining of the uterus, or endometrium, is receptive to a developing embryo, 6-12 days after ovulation.

Acupuncture, herbs and lifestyle all make a big difference for each one of these windows.

I’ll be discussing how to support each of these windows in my upcoming webinar on 2/25 and would love to have you there! (the link to sign up is in my bio)

I am always hopeful for my fertility patients because there’s so much we can do to support getting pregnant. Acupuncture is one tool in my toolbox to help those who are:

🌿 Just starting out trying to conceive
🌿 Trying for awhile and just told to wait
🌿 Wanting to give an IVF or IUI cycle its best chance

I cover how acupuncture works and much more in my upcoming Fertility Webinar on Wednesday, Feb 25th . It’s free!

✨ A little sneak peek into what I’ll be sharing during my FREE Perimenopause Webinar on 2/26 ✨

One of the myths I hear a lot is that hormones fluctuate so much in perimenopause that there’s no use testing them. Actually, there’s a lot we can test and in this webinar I’ll share my favorite labs to look at in this chapter of life, including an innovative at-home test that is especially helpful if you have your ovaries but no uterus.

Perimenopause is considered a Golden Opportunity in Chinese Medicine, a time when our thoughts and actions, where we focus our attention, are amplified. I’ll share three foundational pillars that can help address hormonal symptoms and set us up for success!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to test next, or just want clearer guidance on how to support your fertility, this webinar is for you.

I’ll be walking through some of the most commonly missed labs that can impact fertility and a healthy pregnancy, and sharing how an integrative and Chinese Medicine can support fertility and IVF. My goal is to help you feel more informed, supported, and empowered in your next steps! There will also be plenty of time for questions.

Hi! I’m Anne, the founder of Arrive Reproductive Medicine, an acupuncture and Functional Medicine practice in Santa Cruz dedicated to wacky periods, hormone balance, fertility and mom burnout. I’ve been in practice for over 20 years and I love helping women at all stages of hormone challenge and transition, even teens. As a business owner with two pre-teen boys, life is full and I love connecting with my patients on the crazy dance that is “work-life” balance.

The people I see the most in my practice are:

🌿 Trying to conceive and it’s taking longer than expected
🌿 Prepping for an IVF/IUI cycle for the first time or after a cycle that didn’t work out
🌿 Dealing with painful or irregular cycles, or extreme PMS
🌿 Not feeling like themselves in the perimenopause chapter

If this is you, I’m here to help.🙋‍♀️ I’ve dedicated my practice to you. ❤️

Check out my updated website for lots of great info and schedule a free 15-minute consultation if you have any questions!
