Your initial appointment will be conducted virtually with one of our Chinese medicine specialists, who will take an in-depth health history – including your fertility journey thus far, any relevant diagnostic test results, your diet and exercise routine, general physical function (periods, digestion, sleep, etc.), and your emotional wellbeing.
Based on the learnings from this initial appointment, you will receive a fertility wellness plan tailored to your case. This plan will include nutritional advice, lifestyle recommendations, referral to our wonderful naturopath or massage therapist as necessary, and herbal / supplement prescriptions – all based on any identified health imbalances.
Your clinical care at Flourish will start in the following week or so – acupuncture is part of every treatment, and your practitioner may also include electrical stimulation, moxibustion, gua sha, or light bodywork. Our treatments are generally painless (honestly!) and greatly relaxing.
While the majority of our fertility patients come in weekly for care, you and your practitioner will decide the frequency of treatments that is most appropriate for your case. One of the great joys that we have as acupuncturists is that we get to spend so much time with our patients, getting to know their case, and supporting them closely in making positive changes over time.
