Most of us have been told we should be able to get pregnant whenever we're ready — but Traditional Chinese Medicine has over 1,000 years of wisdom around preparing the Child's Palace (the womb) for a healthy conception and pregnancy.

Body, mind, and spirit all matter in this process, and the preparation you do before conception is just as sacred as the journey itself.

Here are my top 7 pieces of advice for mothers-to-be, from your favorite fertility acupuncturist, Erika Prinz Freed, Prinz Acupuncture

Health and healing is a journey— and I'm here for you, for all of it.

I've been living and breathing acupuncture and wellness for 13 years as a practitioner— and my own journey through chronic pain, fertility, and motherhood informs and shapes my work with each individual patient.

I know what it feels like when you lose hope that you can feel better or feel at home in your body. Acupuncture helped me heal from debilitating pain when nothing else could. It's not an exaggeration to say that it changed the course of my life.

To many people, finally experiencing longed-for relief and support feels nothing short of magical. I know this to be true because I've felt it myself.

I love what I do— and that passion shows up in every session, every conversation, and every moment I spend supporting your healing.

So if you're trying to get pregnant, dealing with exhaustion, stress, or hormonal shifts, or struggling with pain that won't go away… I'm here for you.

There are so many ways we can work together, from acupuncture in my West Chester, PA and New York City offices, to one-on-one support in my Radiant Mama program.

DM me with questions about how I can help you.

Here’s a little peek into a treatment I gave my 4-year old son to boost his immune system and to help with some back tension that he’s experiencing from a bump on the playground. We used moxibustion on the acupuncture points instead of needles (moxa is heat therapy using mugwort).

Almost immediately he shifted into a state of super chill (not so common for the excited energy spark that he is!) and he said, “Mama, let me rest alone so I can totally relax.” 😌

After the treatment he said he felt “so good, Mama,” and his back has been pain-free.

The driving idea behind acupuncture is that you already have everything you need to be well. Acupuncture doesn’t add anything. It prompts the body to do what it already knows how to do—heal itself—by removing blockages and shifting energy across a network of acupuncture points and meridians.

Whether you’re 4 or 84, acupuncture can gently and effectively shift your body back to balance, and into a state of health and wellbeing, free from symptoms or illness.

Parents.... how are you faring in the home stretch of summer? While we had a blast, and I'm OFFICIALLY running on fumes, between caring for my active toddler, running my business, managing the house, and trying to squeeze in self-care and sleep. Thank goodness school starts next week! I've already booked a few wellness appointments, from acupuncture and chiropractic, to craniosacral and massage. I'm fried and my body is making it crystal clear with migraines, weird back pain, insomnia and anxiety - basically screaming at me that I need to prioritize self-care NOW.

If you're feeling the same burnout, I urge you to take the time to truly care for yourself-- block your schedule for an hour to DO NOTHING and relax. I'm also here to support you with hands-on healing, plus a listening ear for your issues and a beautiful clean, clear quiet space to relax in.

Fun fact: acupuncture reduces stress and anxiety by regulating the nervous system, stimulating endogenous opioids and serotonin, and calming that fight-or-flight response we parents know all too well (and we need it - 33% of parents report high stress levels compared to just 20% of other adults). Your nervous system will thank you.

Standing in LOVE and remembering we are part of the Earth is the greatest Revolution.

The eternal wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) always helps me tune into divine law, especially when the world is full of heaviness and discord.

TCM says this is the Season of the Heart... the Element of Fire... embodying the Emotion of Joy.

We are in full YANG, filled with abundant energy. Summer is about expansion, growth, activity and creativity. Our spirit wants to shine, just like the sun above us. It's not the time to give in, lie low, and let your life and wellbeing pass by.

BE LOVE. RADIATE. TAKE ACTION. This will help you stand tall and firm when things around you are swirling. Bask in each day. Create your masterpiece. Dive into unknown territory. Tell someone you love them. Be insanely grateful.

I've been seeing so many of you in my office struggling lately. Witnessing pain and violence day in and day out in our cities and world is taking a toll on everyone—and I invite you to step into even greater joy, invigoration and love so you can be empowered AND help this world evolve.

Hi, I'm Erika. I use acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine to help heal the challenges people experience in their bodies. This medicine is deeply nurturing, and it works holistically with your body. I specialize in women's health, fertility, and motherhood, and I offer support for chronic pain and general wellness. My approach is really hands-on and personalized. This helps my clients leave feeling better, and like their body is finally working with them again.

I found acupuncture as a patient -- and I'll be honest -- I was desperate after trying everything else by the time I received my first acupuncture session. Acupuncture helped me heal from a debilitating chronic knee injury from a lifetime of ballet when nothing else could, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that it changed the course of my life.

Becoming a mother has added a whole new dimension to my work, to the way I look at wellness and the incredible things our bodies can do. Because of that, my acupuncture practice today is not just about pain relief -- it's also about women’s health, fertility, and postpartum care. I truly love what I do and I'm here as a resource and guide for anyone out there who wants to get back to their body, in its fullest potential.

Motherhood is the epic journey of a lifetime, but also insanely exhausting. Mamas, I get it. If you're feeling drained no matter how much you rest ... or perhaps you're not getting rest at all, thanks to your little one's sleep schedule, your body may need deeper support. Acupuncture can help restore your energy and health naturally—no caffeine or crazy hacks required.

How acupuncture helps mothers reclaim your vitality, even when you think you've lost it for good:

- Balances hormones that may be disrupted after pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Nourishes your Blood and Qi to raise energy levels and support healthy digestion
- Releases tension in overworked muscles from carrying little ones
- Reduces stress by activating your parasympathetic nervous system
- Improves sleep quality so you get more restoration from less time

This picture was taken when I was at an all time low--- my little man was waking multiple times per night since birth and I was BEYOND sleep deprived. I felt like I had hit rock bottom, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Once I followed my "own advice" and started to receive holistic care (including acu, chiro, massage), it was a game-changer. I started to feel more balanced, alive, and hopeful again.

A reminder to you: YOU DESERVE wellness support. It WILL enable you to rediscover what it feels like to be YOU again, with space and energy to care for others.

Last week I had a powerful reminder of my purpose as an acupuncturist. During a snow day, my 3-year-old son and I were both climbing the walls. He was cranky and bursting with energy - a dangerous combo - while I felt overstimulated and intensely anxious. My first reaction? Panic.

But after some deep breaths, I remembered mamas everywhere experience this. I hugged my little one and gave myself some calming ear acupuncture (hello, instant nervous system reset!) while he ran wild in our basement. Game changer.

This is what drives me daily:

- Supporting parents who shouldn't have to do it alone - we ALL need help with our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing
- Helping mamas through stress, anxiety, pain and health challenges with acupuncture and empathetic care
- Showing that our bodies naturally seek balance - they just need the right support

Being an acupuncturist isn't just about needles - it's about empowering people to feel their most radiant selves.

So mamas, come as you are. Messy hair, toddler food stains, tears and all. I'm here to:
- Hear your complete health story - body and mind
- Address root causes for lasting relief
- Fill your cup so you can care for your loved ones
