Acupuncture for IVF & Fertility
Struggling to conceive? Going through fertility treatments? Did you know acupuncture is the ORIGINAL fertility medicine? Used for thousands of years to boost fertility rates, acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus & ovaries, calms stress & anxiety, and fine tunes the body’s infrastructure for you to get pregnant and stay pregnant.
Welcome To The San Antonio Acupuncture Studio!
Acupuncture is the insertion of tiny needles into specific acupoints on the body that work to boost your fertility potential. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or going through fertility treatments, here’s what we work on when you come in for your acu sessions. Oh and these needles are painless, ladies! Really, you barely feel them!
Improve Circulation And Egg Quality
Acupuncture improves blood flow to the ovaries and the uterus. This is important because as we age, fewer and fewer resources are available to the reproductive system. Improving circulation helps with egg quality when more nutrients and blood flow are available to nourish them!
Calm Stress and Anxiety In the Body
Infertility is often your first health crisis and everyone is living in fight or flight mode. Acupuncture reduces the cortisol response in the body, and lets our nervous system rest. It quiets our minds that have 27 different browser tabs going all at once. Acupuncture is deeply relaxing and fine tunes our underlying infrastructure, so our bodies can get baby ready!
Personalized Fertility Support
The fertility gauntlet is challenging, but please know that you are not alone! Melsa has many fertility hacks to get your body in baby ready shape. We talk about everything that’s going on with you – your stress, your diet & digestion, the health of your period, your sleep – everything. She makes recommendations based what YOU need for YOUR body.

FAQ
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Acupuncture needles are tiny – you may feel a slight pinch when the needle goes in, followed by a slight tingling or a dull ache, which then subsides. Patients are usually pleasently surprised how minimal the sensation is, and how deeply relaxed they feel during the treatment.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
That depends on a number of factors. Some gals find us well into their fertility treatment cycles. We work on circulation and stress reduction! If we’re working on improving egg quality, research shows that 12-15 treatments is advised. Text us with your time frame and we can advise you from there (210) 802-8805.
Where Do You Put The Needles?
Mostly below the knees, below the elbows, some on the belly, and some relaxation points on the head. Don’t be nervous! Acupuncture feels amazing!
What Should I Expect After My Session
Patients usually feel nice and relaxed after their session. Some people feel movement in their bodies while needles are in. Some people feel a floating senstion. Others take the best naps of their lives. It’s a really lovely euphoria!

“I am going through IVF and my clinic recommended I do acupuncture. My nurse recommended Melsa, as she specializes in fertility. So glad, as I have loved my sessions. I’m terrified of needles, and was really worried about going with my fear (ivf has definitely made my fear of needles slowly fade). However, I wasn’t too excited about volunteering myself to get poked. I messaged Melsa and she calmed my fears INSTANTLY! It’s rather painless and very relaxing! Glad I sent that email over not booking at all due to my fears. Highly recommend her services!”

“I decided to visit Melsa as I began my transfer cycle for IVF after my doctor at Aspire recommended her as the best fertility acupuncturist in San Antonio. Her exact words were, “I wouldn’t go to or trust anyone else.” Man, was she right — Melsa is fabulous!
She takes the time to explain her techniques and how they benefit fertility. Melsa knows all of the ins and out’s of fertility protocols and has recommended several things to do to increase the chances of success!
She also cares about your overall wellness, your background, and your struggles. Melsa gives her clients nutritional support and provides supplement recommendations on top of all of this. I can’t rave about Melsa enough!”

“Melsa’s genuine care and wisdom have been life changing support over the last seven months. After the first 8 weeks of treatment my sleep and digestion were at there best and I became pregnant too after nearly two years of trying with no progress. My husband and I are so grateful to Melsa for sharing her passion and wisdom with us. She is an answered prayer in our fertility journey.”
