Your Health Journey Begins Here at Tao to Wellness in Berkeley.
At Tao to Wellness, we believe that embarking on your fertility journey should be a supportive, empowering experience.

Through time-tested techniques, we gently guide your body back into balance, supporting your overall wellness as you work towards growing your family.
For many women, the process of trying to conceive can feel overwhelming, sometimes even isolating. But with the integrative support of acupuncture, fertility becomes not just a goal but a holistic journey that honors your body, mind, and spirit.
The Fertility and Acupuncture Connection
You may wonder: how can tiny needles help with such a significant challenge as fertility? Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to promote health by encouraging the flow of “Qi” (pronounced “chee”)—the vital energy that moves through our bodies. When Qi is stagnant or imbalanced, it can manifest in various health issues, including those related to fertility. Acupuncture works by restoring the natural flow of energy, bringing the body into harmony and creating an optimal environment for conception.
But there’s more to the story. Studies have shown that acupuncture can improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulate hormone levels, and reduce stress, all of which play crucial roles in fertility. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy or facing challenges like irregular cycles, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or unexplained infertility, acupuncture provides a natural, side-effect-free method of support.
Acupuncture and ART: A Powerful Partnership
For those undergoing ART procedures like in vitro fertilization (IVF), acupuncture can be an excellent complementary therapy. Research has demonstrated that acupuncture can increase the success rates of IVF by promoting relaxation, enhancing blood flow to the uterus, and helping to regulate the hormonal system. At Tao to Wellness, we work closely with you throughout each phase of your ART process, ensuring your body and mind are in their best state to support conception.
The positive impacts of acupuncture extend beyond the physical body. At times, the emotional toll of fertility treatments can be just as taxing as the physical side effects. We understand this. Stress and anxiety are common companions on this journey, but acupuncture’s calming effects can help you manage these emotions, providing a sense of peace and grounding.
When it comes to fertility and acupuncture, it’s not just about enhancing one specific aspect of your reproductive health—it’s about nurturing your entire system. Our team at Tao to Wellness in Berkeley is dedicated to creating a serene, healing space where you can breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself during this transformative time.
Chinese Herbal Medicine: A Vital Component
In addition to acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine plays an essential role in supporting fertility. At Tao to Wellness, we often recommend herbal formulas personalized to your unique constitution and fertility needs. These herbal blends can help regulate your menstrual cycle, improve the quality of eggs or sperm, and strengthen the uterine lining—creating the ideal conditions for conception.
Herbs have been used for millennia in Chinese medicine to support fertility and address underlying imbalances. When combined with acupuncture, these gentle, natural remedies work synergistically to restore health and fertility. Whether you’re dealing with hormone irregularities, digestive issues, or emotional stressors, we design a comprehensive plan that addresses the root cause of your concerns.
