Rooted in Wisdom, Backed by Science
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fertility is a reflection of overall vitality. Rather than isolating the reproductive system, we view the body as an interconnected whole, where hormone health, digestion, emotional resilience, and stress levels all play essential roles.
Our approach combines ancient wisdom with modern insights to address the underlying causes of infertility while supporting your physical and emotional well-being.
How Acupuncture Supports Fertility
Regulates Hormones and Cycles
Acupuncture enhances communication between the brain and ovaries, facilitating the balance of estrogen, progesterone, and other key hormones essential for ovulation and implantation.
Enhances Ovarian and Uterine Function
Treatments increase blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, supporting egg quality, healthy follicle development, and a receptive uterine lining.
Reduces Stress and Cortisol
By calming the nervous system, acupuncture helps lower stress hormones that may interfere with ovulation, libido, and conception.
Improves Digestion and Nutrient Absorption
Digestive health is vital for hormone synthesis. Acupuncture supports healthy metabolism and gut function, ensuring optimal nourishment.
Supports IVF, IUI & Egg Freezing
We regularly work alongside reproductive endocrinologists to enhance the success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Treatments are timed according to your protocol to improve outcomes and minimize side effects.
Balances the Immune System for Implantation
Acupuncture helps modulate immune function, reducing inflammation and creating a receptive uterine environment. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with recurrent miscarriage, elevated natural killer (NK) cells, or autoimmune conditions that may interfere with conception.

patient PRAISE
I never had cramps my life until a year ago. They were so bad I thought I had endometriosis or something seriously wrong. After undergoing a round of ultrasounds with no abnormalities and an "it is what it is" diagnosis from my OB, I knew I needed a better path forward. After seeing Abby consistently for 2 months, my cramps completely dissipated. I have now been working with Abby for 6 months and I have been cramp free and have had a significant reduction in migraines overall. I couldn't imagine keeping up with my lifestyle as a constantly traveling career gal without her intervention.

Prior to seeing Abby, I had not had a normal period since I was about 15. And when I came to her, I had not menstruated in six months. I got my period about a week after our first session. Ever since, I have gotten my period without fail every 28-30 days.

A few years ago I started feeling more emotional and had more pain before and during my menstrual cycle. I had never had to take painkillers to cope with the pain, but I know so many women who do, so I thought it was normal. Working with Abby has completely removed my pain and mood changes. I can’t tell you how empowering it is to not blame your period for your feelings.Â

As I approach my mid 50’s, I have begun to have pre-menopausal signs. Sometimes, I came to Abby feeling bloated and concerned that I’ll skip another period. And for each time I came in feeling that way, I left feeling less bloated and I inevitably got my period within a few days after the session. This is great, but the other real win is the ease I am now starting to feel around the shift. Thanks to Abby’s encouragement, I don’t feel much, if any, anxiety leading up to this new phase of life.

Empowering Your Fertility Journey
We believe fertility care should be empowering, not overwhelming. Our team helps you tune in to your body’s signals, track your cycle confidently, and create space for healing in body and mind. We provide personalized support, including:
- Acupuncture treatments timed to your cycle
- Custom herbal formulas
- Nutritional and supplement guidance
- Cycle charting (BBT, cervical mucus, ovulation signs)
- Stress reduction techniques and breathwork
- Sleep, movement, and nervous system support
Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or undergoing fertility treatments, we adapt your care plan to meet you where you are.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your journey begins with a comprehensive intake, during which we review your menstrual history, lab work (if applicable), emotional landscape, lifestyle, and fertility goals. Each session includes acupuncture and may incorporate moxibustion, cupping, ear seeds, or abdominal massage depending on your needs.
Most clients benefit from weekly sessions, especially during key phases of the cycle. If you’re preparing for IVF, IUI, or egg retrieval, we’ll coordinate treatment timing with your medical team for optimal support.
Integrative Fertility Care
We collaborate with OB/GYNs, reproductive endocrinologists, midwives, and naturopathic doctors to ensure your care is cohesive and supported from all angles. If you’re on fertility medications or hormone replacement, we tailor your acupuncture and herbal protocols accordingly.
Abby Paloma Acupuncture supports same-sex and solo parents, surrogacy journeys, and individuals of all gender identities navigating fertility.
