About us

What Personalized Acupuncture Looks Like.

Your plan is never a rigid template. If you are feeling wired and tired, we will focus on calming your nervous system and improving sleep.
If circulation and pelvic blood flow are priorities, we will support that.
When helpful, Jose uses gentle electroacupuncture to strengthen treatment effects.
Our goal is to meet you where you are and move you toward balance with care that feels comfortable and safe.

Natural fertility and IVF Support

We support people who are trying naturally, those planning an IUI, and those in the middle of IVF. For IVF, we time sessions around your protocol without making them a checkbox exercise. Some patients come in as they begin medications, while
others come in around retrieval, transfer, and the days after. At each step, we adjust to your needs that day.

Already in stimulation? Start now!

We schedule around monitoring appointments and your workday, including early mornings and commuting on 93 or 128.
