Chinese Medicine For
I would like to take this moment to tell you about the fertility and pregnancy related services that I offer, as well as a little more about myself. I was once told that you do not pick your specialty but that it seeks you out through your life’s work. This has come to be true in my case due to my ever-growing passion to work with women during the reproductive phase of their life. Mostly this stemmed from my own experience through pregnancy, birth, and as a mother; but furthermore with sheer wonderment at watching new life come into existence and being a close part of this miraculous process!
Through first-hand experience I have witnessed the power of Chinese Medicine through carrying and delivering a child, as well as restoring the vitality of the mother during the postpartum period. I am well versed at addressing many of the challenging issues that you may be going through now or in the time to come. In my clinic I offer a wide selection of natural, safe herbal medicines that provide support and relief to pregnant women, infants and toddlers.
I am licensed with the state of California as well as with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Additionally I am continually pursuing advanced post-graduate courses specializing in reproduction, infertility and other women’s issues.
For those undergoing or considering Assisted Reproductive Therapy, I have developed relationships with San Diego Fertility Centers to ensure that your personalized treatment with me consists of regular sessions together at my office, and “day of transfer enhancement treatments” in the convenience of your fertility doctor’s office. I am committed to individualized, caring attention and believe it is of the utmost importance to be a highly available resource to women during this monumental time in their lives.
I wish you many blessings along your journey, honor your strength and commitment to bring a child into the world, and look forward to the opportunity of working together.
