Who We Help
Feeling stuck in your fertility journey?
You’re not alone.
Whether you’re just starting out or facing something more complex, our team brings over 30 years of combined experience and has truly seen it all. From PCOS and endo to TTC after 35, IVF, IUI, and loss, we’ve supported thousands of patients through every stage of the fertility journey. Wherever you are, we’re here with clarity, care, and hope.
What We Do & Why It Works
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all protocols, because fertility isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re TTC naturally or navigating advanced reproductive technologies, we meet you with a plan that makes sense for your body, your goals, and your timeline.
Why Acupuncture for Fertility?
Improves blood flow
Increased circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to the reproductive organs, supporting healthy follicle development, egg quality, and a receptive uterine lining.
Supports hormone balance
Acupuncture helps regulate the communication between your brain and ovaries (the HPO axis), promoting more consistent cycles and improving ovulation quality and timing.
Calms the nervous system
By activating the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) state, acupuncture lowers cortisol and supports hormone regulation—especially critical during the two-week wait or IVF cycle.
Supports implantation
Acupuncture may improve endometrial receptivity and uterine blood flow, creating optimal conditions for embryo implantation and early pregnancy development.
Improves sperm parameters
In sperm-producing partners, acupuncture has been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, helping to improve semen quality and overall reproductive potential.
Our Approach
The Natural Harmony Method
Fertility acupuncture should be more than just a protocol—it should feel personal, thoughtful, and truly supportive. At Natural Harmony, we bring together advanced training, integrative tools, and a deep commitment to whole-person care. Our team understands the complexity of fertility and the importance of feeling seen, heard, and genuinely cared for along the way.
What makes us different? It’s not just what we do, but how we do it—with clinical excellence, emotional presence, and collaborative care that meets you where you are.
Here’s what sets our team apart
1
Board-Certified Fertility Specialists (ABORM)
We’re proud to be among the few clinics in San Diego with practitioners certified by the Acupuncture Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM)—the gold standard for advanced fertility acupuncture training.
We also maintain active memberships with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society (PCRS), keeping us plugged into the latest research and best practices in collaborative fertility care.

Whole-Person, Integrative Care
Fertility is connected to everything—hormones, digestion, stress, sleep, and inflammation. That’s why we take a whole-body approach to care, focusing on root causes instead of just symptoms. At Natural Harmony, we personalize your plan to support ovulation, hormone balance, egg and sperm quality, and nervous system resilience. This might include acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, targeted supplements, and lab testing to get clear on what your body really needs.
When your whole system is supported, fertility has a better chance to flourish.
