ACUPUNCTURE FOR CONCEPTION, PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM · PORTLAND, OR
Support for every stage of building your family.
Trying to conceive, mid-pregnancy, or a few weeks or months into motherhood and wondering how you’ll make it through: this is a season that asks a lot of your body. I offer steady, unhurried care through all of it, including house calls when getting out the door isn’t realistic.

WHERE YOU MIGHT BE
TRYING TO CONCEIVE
Navigating cycle irregularities, unexplained infertility, the stress of trying month after month, or supporting your body through an IVF or IUI cycle
PREGNANT
Nausea, fatigue, back or pelvic pain, anxiety about the pregnancy or the birth, or simply wanting consistent support as your body changes week to week
POSTPARTUM
Physical recovery, sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, and the mood shifts that can follow birth, from ordinary adjustment to something that feels heavier than “just tired.”
Different stages, one continuous thread: your body doing enormous, often invisible work.
I meet you wherever you are in the process.
You’re undergoing fertility treatment and want complementary support alongside your clinic
THIS PRACTICE IS FOR YOU IF
You’re pregnant and want consistent, trimester-aware care for what comes up
You’re preparing for birth and want your body supported going into labor
You’re newly postpartum and recovery has been harder than you expected
You want a provider who treats your mental and physical recovery as connected, not separate
Getting to appointments with a newborn feels impossible, and house calls would help
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
I see one person at a time; no rotating rooms, no split attention. Your first visit is 1.5-2 hours: part conversation, part treatment. I work through the lens of Five Element Acupuncture, a style of Chinese Medicine that addresses the root patterns beneath your symptoms rather than managing them on the surface.
For patients further along in pregnancy or in the earlier postpartum months, I offer house calls on Thursdays and Saturdays in North, NE, and SE Portland, in addition to visits at the NW Nob Hill office. Treatment often includes acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal formulas suited to your stage and what your body needs most right now.
My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to help your body find steadier ground through a season that asks a great deal of it.
COMPLEMENTARY CARE
Acupuncture works beautifully alongside your OB-GYN, midwife, fertility clinic, or mental health provider. If you’re undergoing fertility treatment, this is meant to complement your clinic’s care and support you through the stress and physical toll of the process itself. What I offer is steady, hands-on support alongside your medical care: for the stress and emotional rollercoaster that is inherent within fertility struggles and treatment, the physical demands of pregnancy, and the recovery, both physical and emotional, that follows birth.
If you’re experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, please also talk to your doctor or a therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health. If you’re having thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, please contact the Postpartum Support International Helpline at 1-800-944-4773 or call or text 988 right away.
