The Natural Health and Fertility Center has been providing natural treatments for both male and female reproductive health and fertility issues since 2006 in Minneapolis, MN. We use acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese dietary principles, and other related modalities to treat male issues including sperm abnormalities (count, motility, morphology, immunity-related), erectile dysfunction, varicocele, prostate issues, etc. Female issues treated include unexplained infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, recurrent miscarriage, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), spotting between periods, and others. Our services are useful in aiding natural conception, as well as supporting assisted reproductive techniques like intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

Pain relief, digestive health and emotional well being are the primary focuses in my practice, however I treat many, many different disorders because human beings are so amazingly complex. I use a blend of acupuncture, cupping, tui na (Chinese medical massage) and botanical medicine to restore good health and well being. Acupuncture and botanical medicine combined are extremely powerful modalities to bring about positive health changes. The botanical medicines I use include hand-crafted herbal tinctures and ointments, flower essences and therapeutic-grade essential oils. My treatment room has great feel to it, and I also use a far-infrared lamp to promote healing and strength. I type up and print out Lifestyle and Nutrition recommendations to enhance and support the care you are receiving as well as to use as a reference for change. I teach many holistic health classes of which my patients take advantage such as The Top Ten Digestive Tips class and Choosing Breast Health Over Breast Cancer. I also work with two very talented Doctors of Chiropractic - Bob Shepherd and Paula Allenburg – and I feel very fortunate to be able to refer my patients to them if they need chiropractic support. Acupuncture and chiropractic care are synergistic in their effect and often people will schedule their appointments for both modalities on the same day. I do not practice fertility medicine, and I will refer out to qualified fertility specialists in such cases.
