Welcome!
During nearly 20 years of running one of the largest and most influential reproductive acupuncture clinics in North America, I worked with thousands of couples diagnosed as infertile. Although many of them wished desperately for a child, the high cost or ineffectiveness of conventional fertility treatments left them unable to get pregnant and carry a baby to term.
Over that time, I pioneered new strategies that help couples improve their chances of conceiving, by integrating the best of conventional reproductive medicine and natural fertility care.
In my clinical practice, many people who had been diagnosed with ovulatory problems, high FSH, advanced maternal age, and a host of other commonly diagnosed fertility issues, were able to conceive by embracing my program, without having to spend tens of thousands of dollars. Based on this success, I became passionate about expanding the reach of the program to all who can benefit from it.
I’ve worked with a diverse team of medical doctors, OBGYNs, reproductive endocrinologists, infertility specialists and pharmacists to create the program I delivered in my clinics. I felt frustrated by being limited by how many couples I could help. I also realized that acupuncture, while helpful, wasn’t a critical aspect of my program. It was the ability to clearly diagnose the underlying cause and build customized solutions that made the biggest difference. Now Im consulting with couples from all over the world to help make their dreams reality.
I truly hope to be your partner on your journey to a happy, healthy baby.

A New Fertility Philosophy
I work diligently to look past the standard diagnose of infertility toward the underlying health factors and disease states that may be causing them. By identifying why you aren’t getting pregnant, we can help you make progress, naturally.
Why Am I Not Getting Pregnant?
Most women think of infertility as a diagnosis like poor egg quality, insufficient uterine lining, low progesterone, high FSH levels, PCOS, or endometriosis. There is often much more to the story.
What's Really Going On?
In many cases these diagnosed conditions result from underlying disease states like diminished hormone function, irregular menstrual cycles, problematic body temperature, and others. Modifiable lifestyle factors like hydration, sleep, stress, and diet can also have a tremendous impact on natural fertility. By understanding your body in these terms, we can quickly gain a new understanding of why you are having difficulty getting or staying pregnant.
The Great News
What most don’t realize is that these underlying issues can be dramatically improved through a natural approach. By integrating Chinese herbs formulas with highly customized recommendations for modifying lifestyle behaviors, it is possible to regulate hormones, menstrual function, and body temperature over just a few months, ultimately boosting your overall fertility and chances of conceiving.
