Fertility & Beyond

  Preconception, Fertility, Pregnancy & Postpartum Care  

At Calabasas Acupuncture, we support you through every stage of the reproductive journey. Whether you’re preparing for conception, trying to conceive (naturally or with IVF), navigating pregnancy, or recovering postpartum, our approach is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and tailored to your unique needs.

 

​​​Understanding Underlying Imbalances

​

Reproductive challenges—such as irregular cycles, PMS, difficulty conceiving, or changes around pregnancy and postpartum—are often symptoms of deeper imbalances in the body.

​

Think of it like a tree:

​

  • Branches = symptoms you notice (pain, irregular cycles, fatigue, mood changes).

  • Roots = underlying imbalances affecting circulation, energy, and organ function.

​

Treating only the branches may bring temporary relief. But addressing the roots helps restore long-term reproductive health, resilience, and balance.

​

​

Cycle-Aware Care

​

Your body’s needs shift throughout the menstrual cycle. What we focus on in treatment changes accordingly—supporting balance, circulation, and regulation at each stage.

​

Our goal isn’t only to adapt to where you are in your cycle, but to help create healthy, predictable cycles as the foundation for fertility and reproductive vitality.

 

​

Fertility Support

​

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or with Assisted Reproductive Technologies (IUI/IVF), treatment starts with seeing the bigger picture of your health. Digestive, thyroid, emotional, and immune health all play a role in reproductive function.

​​

Acupuncture can support fertility by helping to:

​

  • Regulate the body’s internal rhythms, including ovulation and menstruation

  • Improve circulation to the uterus and ovaries for nourishment and implantation

  • Support egg quality and a healthy uterine lining

  • Ease stress and emotional strain that can interfere with conception

  • Address imbalances such as endometriosis, PCOS, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility

 

We also provide care for male fertility, supporting sperm health and overall vitality.

​

​

Pregnancy & Postpartum Care

​

Acupuncture is safe and supportive throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. Treatment goals shift as your needs do, from easing nausea and supporting energy in early pregnancy, to preparing the body for labor, and later, promoting healing and emotional well-being after birth. 

​

Benefits may include:

​

  • Reducing pregnancy-related discomforts (nausea, back pain, swelling, insomnia)

  • Supporting healthy progression of pregnancy

  • Encouraging labor readiness in the final weeks

  • Aiding postpartum recovery, energy, and emotional balance

 

 

A Personalized Approach

​

Every treatment plan is guided by your individual pattern of imbalance. Two women may share the same symptom—like irregular cycles—but the root cause may differ. By identifying and treating the root, we create a care plan that is uniquely yours.

 

 

Next Steps

​

If you’re ready to begin—or continue—your reproductive health journey with support, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Calabasas Acupuncture. Together, we’ll create a clear plan to restore balance and resilience at every stage.
