Acupuncture - Herbal Medicine Somatic Experiencing
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapy that has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of conditions and symptoms. It uses tiny, sterilized, single-use needles that are inserted along specific points on the body to stimulate a systemic response. This response helps to activate the body’s built-in healing mechanisms to alleviate the symptoms of disease that can make day-to-day living uncomfortable.
Acupuncture + Herbal Medicine for Hormone Balancing and/or Fertility Support
Both acupuncture and herbal medicine have been used for centuries to improve fertility for all gender identities. More and more scientific research is being conducted proving its effectiveness, both alone or in conjunction with Western medicine. Acupuncture and herbs can be useful at any and all stages of your fertility journey.
There isn't a one size fits all treatment in Traditional East Asian Medicine. Two people could be undergoing IVF or IUI and their treatment plan prior to and after transfer could vary greatly depending on their fertility type. Even without western medical intervention, each person is treated on a case by case basis determined by fertility type, present symptoms, health history, and blood work/ lab values.
In addition to treating issues of unexplained infertility, we also treat underlying conditions that can make conception and/or pregnancy difficult.

Somatic Experiencing
This body-oriented approach to healing trauma is based on the work of Dr. Peter A. Levine and Alaine Duncan, LAc, SEP. The SE approach is a therapeutic model used to treat traumatic stress, including PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. It offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses, and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. Kaylie’s work is an integration of the Somatic Experiencing model and the principles of East Asian Medicine. Learn more about Somatic Experiencing (SE) here.
