Why Our Natural
Treatments Work So Well
We Address the Root Cause
Our process includes finding and relieving the root cause of your discomfort. This is why so many have found relief with our therapies, even when other therapies didn’t work.
We Treat Local Tension + Inflammation
Improves blood flow while breaking up fascial tension and adhesions in the body. This helps with pain, stiffness and positioning of your baby as it grows .
We Use an All Natural Approach Your Doctor Doesn't Know About
Your doctor may have told you that you have to live with you're out of options or “this is normal” or "this is just what pregnancy feels like". That doesn’t mean there’s no treatment, it just means your doctor has run out of ideas or there aren’t conventional treatments available. We find that people who don’t respond well to conventional treatment often respond very well to our natural approach. We think the body knows best. Bringing the nervous system into balance is the most powerful way to correct your hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis signaling while relieving pain and disabling symptoms.
We Awaken Your Body's Own Natural Healing response
Despite what you may have been led to believe, there are many options to give you relief during pregnancy! It is possible to heal and achieve your goals! That’s because your body never forgets how to come into balance if given the opportunity. It just needs the right support.
It Feels Good
Our therapies stimulate the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins that relieve pain and enhance one’s sense of overall well-being. Increases serotonin, a brain chemical involved with mood, which in turn relieves pain.
We Keep It Simple
Feeling empowered while supporting your pregnancy does not have to be difficult. Many people have been where you are now. Simple, targeted lifestyle and diet changes, along with our targeted natural therapies, are a very clear and concise way to attack the problem head on.

Answers to Common Questions
Does it hurt?
The needles are extremely thin, most people can't feel them at all. Sometimes acupuncture feels like dull pressure - for example when you get a massage on a trigger point.
Will I have to keep coming forever?
The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is
resolved, it stays that way.
Will I have to spend a lot of time coming in for treatments?
Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits for 3-4 months prior to insemination or beginning an IVF cycle. We can discuss
this in more detail at your free consultation.
Is natural medicine REALLY powerful enough to improve my menstrual health and fertility?
Absolutely. Natural medicine actually helps your body make more of its own medicine,
which is more powerful and potent than any man-made medicine.
How long does it take to see results?
Often a shift in energy, digestion, pain and stress is noticed after just one treatment. It can take up to 3-4 months for the body's cycles to find their way back to sustained health and harmony - not very long if you consider that it has often been YEARS, if not decades, of dysfunction leading up to this point.
