Fertility care that looks at the whole picture.
Individualized acupuncture and Chinese medicine for every stage of your fertility journey, whether you're trying naturally or preparing for IUI or IVF.

Trying to conceive can quickly become a world of tracking, testing, supplements, appointments, and conflicting advice. You may know more about your cycle than you ever expected to, and still be left wondering whether you're doing the right things at the right time.
Our role is to help make sense of what you're already doing without giving you another full-time job. We'll use the information you're already collecting, help identify what's useful, and recommend additional tracking only when it can actually inform your care.
We look beyond cycle length to patterns in bleeding, cervical fluid, ovulation, temperature, PMS, pain, and other changes throughout the month.
When available, we review relevant fertility testing and laboratory results and consider them alongside any care you're receiving from your OB/GYN or reproductive specialist.
Your symptoms, cycle patterns, tongue, pulse, and overall constitution help guide individualized acupuncture and herbal treatment.
Rather than giving everyone the same “fertility diet,” recommendations are tailored to your individual needs, health patterns, and fertility goals.
Fertility care at Athena goes beyond what happens during an acupuncture treatment. We bring together Chinese medicine, nutrition, relevant fertility testing, and ongoing clinical guidance to create a plan based on your individual needs.
Your care evolves as your circumstances change, whether you're trying to conceive naturally or working alongside an OB/GYN or reproductive specialist.
Individualized treatments that adapt to your cycle, presentation, and fertility goals.
Chinese medicine diagnosis guides your treatment, with customized herbal medicine incorporated when appropriate.
Individualized food and supplement guidance based on your health, fertility goals, and presentation.
Your plan is reviewed and adjusted as your cycle, health, or reproductive treatment changes.
We base your fertility care on what you are experiencing. Different phases of the menstrual cycle have different physiological priorities, and your care can reflect those changes.
Acupuncture, nutrition, and when appropriate, Chinese herbal medicine can be adjusted throughout your cycle based on your individual presentation and fertility goals.
If you're undergoing IUI or IVF, treatment can also be adapted around your reproductive medicine protocol rather than following a standard cycle-based approach.
