The Seed Approach to Holistic Fertility & Women’s Health Care
-

Acupuncture
Acupuncture supports the nervous, endocrine, immune, and circulatory systems to create an optimal environment for reproductive health. It can improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, regulate hormones, reduce stress, and ease menstrual discomfort, supporting natural conception, IVF, and overall hormonal balance.
-

Herbal Medicine
Custom Chinese herbal formulas work alongside acupuncture to target root imbalances, regulate cycles, reduce inflammation, and nourish the body. This natural, time-tested therapy can address conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disorders, and more, without the side effects of many conventional medications.
-

Nutrition Guidance
We provide in-depth, personalized nutrition strategies designed to optimize fertility, hormonal health, and overall wellness. This includes targeted nutrient timing, supplements, and adjustments based on labs, cycle phase, and your treatment plan. Unlike generic programs, our approach is practical and sustainable - no endless recipes or overwhelming lists, just clear, actionable steps that deliver real results.
-

In-Depth Lab Work Review
We review your lab results through both biomedical and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspectives to identify subtle imbalances in hormones, thyroid function, nutrient levels, and more. This deeper insight allows us to create a highly personalized, targeted treatment plan.
-

Adjunct Therapies
When appropriate, we integrate moxibustion, cupping, heat therapy, and infrared light therapy to boost circulation, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. These therapies complement acupuncture for enhanced healing and reproductive support.
-

Lifestyle Support
Daily habits can have a powerful impact on reproductive health. We help you fine-tune your sleep, stress management, movement, and environmental exposures to create the most supportive conditions for conception, pregnancy, and hormonal balance. Every plan is tailored to your lifestyle so changes feel practical, sustainable, and effective.

No two fertility journeys are the same. At each appointment at Seed, you receive individualized care to address your physical symptoms, emotional well-being, and reproductive health goals.
New patients begin with a thorough consultation, where we take the time to truly understand your story and review your full health history. From there, we guide you through The Seed Approach - a personalized, whole-body care plan combining acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle support.
It’s a comprehensive, compassionate process that leaves no stone unturned in helping you feel supported, understood, and on track toward your goals.
Evidence-Based Reproductive Health Care
A 2022 study found that individualized acupuncture pre- and post-FET (frozen embryo transfer) was associated with a 55% increase in live births and a 42% reduction in biochemical pregnancies compared with FET alone.

A major 2024 meta-analysis found that women with PCOS who received acupuncture had 57% higher pregnancy rates and 25% better ovulation rates compared to women who received standard care alone, while also experiencing significant improvements in hormone balance including reduced testosterone and insulin resistance.

A landmark study of 1,851 women found that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - including acupuncture and herbal therapy - resulted in a 60% pregnancy rate within four months, nearly doubling the 32% success rate of conventional Western fertility treatments. Women receiving TCM care were 3.5 times more likely to conceive, highlighting the effectiveness of individualized, integrative approaches to fertility care.
