Acupuncture Physician and Herbalist, The IVF CenterSM

Our Mission Statement is to provide affordable, patient-centered and advanced reproductive treatment so all patients have the opportunity to build their family.

Supporting You Through Every Stage of Fertility Journey

Fertility treatment asks a great deal of you—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My role is to support you throughout that journey with individualized acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine that complements the care you receive from your reproductive endocrinologist.

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF or IUI, recovering after an egg retrieval, preparing for embryo transfer, or navigating early pregnancy, every treatment is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Many patients incorporate acupuncture to support overall well-being, improve sleep, reduce stress, ease treatment-related symptoms, and feel more supported throughout the fertility process.

Located inside The IVF Center’s Lake Nona office, I work closely with the physicians and staff to provide convenient, coordinated integrative fertility care. My goal is not only to support your treatment cycle, but to help you feel heard, cared for, and confident throughout your journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, acupuncture begins several weeks to a few months before treatment, giving us time to support sleep, stress regulation, overall health, and any underlying concerns. However, it’s never too late to start. Whether you’re preparing for an egg retrieval, embryo transfer, or simply looking for additional support, treatment is individualized to your timeline.

No. Many patients first hear about acupuncture for embryo transfer day, but that is often just one step in a much longer process. Beginning treatment earlier provides more time to support sleep, stress regulation, overall wellness, and your body’s preparation for fertility treatment. For patients using their own eggs, it’s especially beneficial to begin care during the approximately 90-day period of egg development before retrieval.No. Many patients first hear about acupuncture for embryo transfer day, but that is often just one step in a much longer process.

No. While some patients are referred by their reproductive endocrinologist, many choose to add acupuncture on their own. Because I practice exclusively from The IVF Center’s Lake Nona office, it’s easy to coordinate care alongside your fertility team and, whenever possible, schedule acupuncture around your physician appointments for added convenience.

Absolutely. Fertility is a shared journey, and many couples choose to receive treatment together. Because sperm develop over approximately 70–90 days, beginning care before IUI or IVF provides an opportunity to support overall health, reduce stress, and optimize the environment in which healthy sperm are produced. Treatment is always individualized and designed to complement your fertility care.
