FERTILITY

At Source Healing, we love to work with natural fertility. Why? Because we see results and we have for the last 10 years. The majority of our fertility clients - and our greatest success- has been with women in their 30's and 40's working on getting pregnant naturally. What makes us stand out is that we understand that every person's body is different, and what works for one person may or may not work for another. Th erefore, we take the time to focus on each person's unique inner landscape and we balance it accordingly without a "program" of one size fits all. We also emphasize and teach lifestyle shifts that make lasting differences in most people's lives. That is why we love this work.

Female Fertility

Preparing your Soil and Seed:  We can assist women in preparing their bodies for conceiving by creating a balanced environment (or soil) for the seed.  With acupuncture, Chinese herbs and dietary guidelines, accessory techniques, and breath work, our practitioners work with women in balancing the whole body, affecting the quality of eggs and the strength of the body to maintain a pregnancy to term. It is wise to prepare your body a year in advance before you plan to conceive. However, we have a three month Oriental Medicine blast consisting of 12 tailored treatments over 3 months to work on the overall balance of the body. After the three months, you can work with your practitioner on when and how to move forward. As a team, we take the time to be thorough and personalize a plan for you.

Planting the Seed:  When your body has been prepared and balanced, you are ready to start planting the seeds into the fertile soil.  Coming in just before ovulation is recommended.  Treatments can enhance the energy and blood flow to the ovaries and uterus.

Assisted Reproductive Therapy (ART): Should you choose to enter into IVF or IUI, our team can work with the body's balance as you are going through the entire process.  Many scientific studies show the effectiveness of TCM in conjunction with ART.  We support these studies and their findings. However, Source Healing goes further and takes the time and energy to incorporate the points that are specific to your unique constitution and situation.

Male Fertility

Nearly half of all infertility cases are contributed by male infertility.  The three factors that lead to male fertility are sperm count, motility (movement) and morphology (shape and size). Varicocele can also be addressed with Chinese Medicine.   From an Oriental Medicine perspective, improving male reproductive health is achieved by tonifying the kidney meridian, unblocking energy and blood circulation, and increasing the immune system and virility.  Source Healing has experience treating these issues.  Because it takes 70 days to generate new sperm, treatment time is approximately 3 months with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutritional counseling and lifestyle shifts.
