What We Do & Why It Works

At Natural Harmony, 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 to the uterus and ovaries

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 and healthy ovulation

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 and reduces stress

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 including count, motility, and morphology

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 American Board of Oriental 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.

2 Whole-Person, Integrative Care

Fertility doesn’t exist in isolation—and neither does our care. We look at the full picture of your health, because everything from hormones and digestion to stress, sleep, and inflammation can impact your ability to conceive.

By addressing the root causes and supporting your entire system, we help create a healthier, more balanced environment for fertility to thrive.

Your personalized care plan may include:

  • Cycle-specific acupuncture to support ovulation, implantation, and hormonal balance
  • Functional nutrition + targeted supplements to support egg and sperm quality and reduce inflammation
  • Custom Chinese herbal formulas aligned with your cycle and TCM pattern
  • Lifestyle coaching and nervous system support to regulate stress and restore resilience

Lab testing to assess hormones, thyroid, gut health, inflammation, and nutrient status, so we can stop guessing and start personalizing

3 We Collaborate With Your Doctor

If you’re working with an RE, OB/GYN, midwife, or donor/surrogacy team, you’re in good hands—we’ve built trusted, collaborative relationships with many of San Diego’s leading fertility clinics and OB/GYNs.. Our protocols are designed to enhance—not override—your existing plan, and we’re fluent in fertility medicine, committed to seamless, respectful coordination every step of the way.

4 Real Expertise, Real Empathy

We’ve supported hundreds of individuals and families through all kinds of fertility journeys, and we approach each one with deep care and respect. We take the time to get to know you—your story, your body, your goals—so we can build a plan that feels both personal and purposeful. Our care is collaborative, grounded, and always tailored to what you truly need.

5 Support That Grows With You

From first trying to postpartum and beyond—we’re here for the whole story. Fertility isn’t just a moment in time, and neither is our care. As your journey unfolds, we adapt with you—whether you’re tracking your cycle, prepping for an embryo transfer, navigating early pregnancy, recovering postpartum, or supporting long-term hormone health. We’re in it with you, for as long as you need.
