Fertility Consultation

We place importance on viewing the entire woman, man, or couple. We strive to understand your physical and emotional state, as well as your personalized situation, when creating our treatment plan.

Therapies for Optimal Fertility

Our holistic therapies encompass a broad spectrum that will restore harmony in your body, and promote self-healing. We offer acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy, yoga, Asian bodywork, and cupping, as well as advice on nutrition and optimal conception, and also are knowledgeable about Western medicine. These methods are combined into a customized treatment plan for you, individually or as a couple.

Natural Herbs to Promote Pregnancy

To support your desire for a baby we use high-quality herbs from the Chinese Medicine compendium. We have many specialized recipes. Sometimes we prescribe according to phases of the menstrual cycle, or take into account the type of UVF protocol you’re on. We also have recipes for optimal conception, and later, support of the pregnancy.

A Relaxing, Safe Atmosphere

Our experienced, compassionate team, and our lovingly decorated practice rooms provide an atmosphere designed to make you feel comforted and cared for, and provide a perfect accompaniment on your path to optimum fertility.

Holistic Consultation

We place importance on viewing the entire woman, man, or couple. We strive to understand your physical and emotional state, as well as your personalized situation, when creating our fertility treatment plan. We focus on combining the strengths of Western medicine and TCM. Experience has taught us that the combination definitely increases the opportunity of conception and a successful pregnancy.

Independent Fertility Experts

Thanks to decades of experience, we have access to a broad network of independent experts who specialize in fertility. This enables us to find the best contacts for you. If necessary, we can refer you to specialized gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and surgeons who specialize in microsurgery, as well as other experienced health-care specialists such as psychologists, with whom we’ve worked for years.

Individual Treatment Plans for Optimum Conception

Each couple finds their own way—individually or together— to our practice through their own life experiences. We are happy to listen to what you have to say. We are here to support you, and to give you individualized advice about combining lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise with the proper therapies. We care about your story, your worries, and your hopes: we take these into account when creating your treatment plan.

Infertility is often a just a label. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, a healthy woman should be capable of conception once her menses have arrived until she reaches menopause, unless the ovarian tubes are blocked, or there are other anatomical abnormalities. That’s why we start with an understanding of your overall health. Gathering information about a woman’s cycle gives us lots of useful information. The length of the cycle, the quality of the bleeding, and any discomfort or pain, are assessed for indications of disharmony. Each month, we’ll have the opportunity to ease menstrual symptoms, as you prepare your body for pregnancy. Many patients already notice changes after the first treatment. In most cases though, the therapy is a step-by-step process. We ask patients to expect at least three months of therapy.

As pregnancy depends on a variety of complex factors, we feel that interdisciplinary collaboration between TCM and Western medicine provides the best results. Our treatments are designed to complement the protocols that you’ll receive from your doctors, gynecologists, and midwives.

The following conditions respond well to TCM:
• Endometriosis
• Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS)
• Disorders of Follicular Maturation
• Progesterone Deficiency
• High FSH Levels
• Amenorrhea or Anovulatory Cycles (no ovulation)
• Painful Menstruation
• Irregular Cycles
• PMS
• Uterine Scarring
• Infertility Complicated by Immunological Conditions
• Pregnancy After Age 35
• Infertility of Unknown Cause
• Repeated Miscarriages

Next: For Men

TCM can support a man’s overall health and virility, and in some cases, increase sperm counts, and optimize fertility. We have treated men with fertility challenges for years, both on an individual basis, and as part of a couple.

Urology and andrology

Health is more important than ever in our society. Life is getting faster, you have to do more and more in less time, and the pressure is increasing – in every respect. More and more is demanded of women and men. Men have to go to work and bring home the money. At the same time, they have to be a loving and caring partner and help out in the household. So it is not surprising that male disorders have increased.

But maybe it is also the fact that men nowadays are more likely to see a doctor and take more care of their health. Although typical male complaints are still a taboo subject in society, or perhaps because of this, it is important to address and discuss these issues and to take men and their concerns seriously. For many of these problems, such as chronic prostate problems, menopause in men, potency problems or reduced semen quality, we offer effective treatment options in Chinese medicine.

Since we always consider the whole body and include it in the diagnosis and our treatments, we offer more than just momentary support. The balance of energies is restored, which takes some time, but is beneficial to health in the long term. We would be happy to accompany you on your way to optimal well-being.
