The Natural Harmony Method
Optimizing fertility and reproductive health is our passion. With over 40 years of combined experience, our team has successfully supported cases like yours and can help you confidently create the best path forward with compassion, grace, and hope.
The Natural Harmony Method
The Natural Harmony Method is a process we build with you, drawing on acupuncture, herbal medicine, functional nutrition, targeted supplementation, and lab work to understand what is actually driving your symptoms and address it at the root. No two plans exactly alike, because no two patients arrive with the same story.
We work at the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern reproductive science, because the best outcomes happen when these two approaches inform each other. TCM gives us a framework for understanding the whole person — the patterns, the connections, the terrain that conventional labs do not always capture. Western reproductive medicine gives us the diagnostic precision, the research base, and the clinical language to work effectively alongside your medical team. Together, they give us more to work with than either approach alone.
That collaboration starts the moment you walk through our doors. We believe this journey is best navigated with a village behind you — and that is exactly what we aim to be. A team that knows your history, tracks your progress, celebrates your wins, and holds space for the hard moments. No one should have to navigate this alone.
You are capable of incredible things. We believe in you, and we would be honored to be a part of your story.
What Sets Us Apart
Deep Training in Reproductive Acupuncture
This practice was built to be a haven for all things women’s health. It is all we do — and we genuinely love doing it. That focus shapes how we take a history, what we look for in your labs, and how quickly we recognize a pattern we have seen before.
Several of our practitioners hold certification with the Acupuncture Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM), the specialty credential in this field. Earning it means advanced study in both Chinese medicine and Western reproductive endocrinology, ongoing continuing education, and a comprehensive exam. It’s a large part of why we can read your protocol and speak with your fertility clinic in their own terms.
We’re also members of ASRM and PCRS, which keeps us in step with current reproductive research and with the specialists your care may involve.
True Integrative Care
Our training extends well beyond needles. We order and interpret labs, both conventional and functional, and read those results alongside our Chinese medicine diagnostic findings to help shape your treatment plan. We prescribe Chinese herbal medicine. We recommend supplements with attention to what interacts with your protocol, and we build nutrition and lifestyle support around where you are in your cycle or your treatment timeline.
What ties it together is that we work as a team. Your case gets discussed among practitioners who all specialize in reproductive health, so you’re getting the benefit of collective experience rather than one person’s read.
We also work closely with fertility clinics, surgeons, pelvic physical therapists and Ob/Gyn across San Diego, so referrals are straightforward and collaboration is possible when your care calls for it.
The Dream Team
We understand what reproductive health and fertility challenges actually feel like, and how much of the difficulty is not medical. The waiting, the uncertainty, the toll of a process that asks you to hope carefully.
Over more than a decade of practice, we’ve worked with people at every stage: trying to conceive, in the middle of IVF, managing endometriosis, or simply wanting periods that don’t take over a week of the month. Wherever you are in that, we’ll meet you there.
Partnering with us means a team that takes your goals seriously and stays with you through the process.
You can do this. We can help.

Lifestyle Evaluation
Along with evaluating your physical health, our providers will also address lifestyle, stress patterns, sleep, exercise and more to support you in achieving your reproductive health goals. Many modern day stressors like work and family life can feel overwhelming in today’s busy world. Our team will work with you to come up with a lifestyle plan to reduce stress, promote healthy detoxification, optimal sleep and a more mindful way of living.
Functional Lab Work
Evaluating lab work through a functional medicine lens means taking a deeper look into the sometimes subtle clues the body is providing. Our clinic uses traditional lab panels as well as functional lab work where necessary to help get a complete picture of a person’s health history. Lab consultations include lab work ordered through us or other providers you’re working with. For existing patients only.
Infrared Therapy
Celluma is an FDA-accepted form of LED phototherapy that stimulate the mitochondria of cells with red light. This is significant for reproductive health, because the mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP which is the main supply of energy for the cell. Therefore, the better-functioning the mitochondria, the more energized and healthy the cell! Celluma naturally optimizes cellular function to improve cellular health – the cornerstone of reproductive health and fertility.
