Fertility Support Starts Here
Our all-natural approach to enhancing fertility
We help our patients enhance their body’s own ability to conceive, naturally and effectively. Our approach works with YOU, creating an individualized treatment plan to help you conceive.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are wonderful at balancing the cycle and hormones. We can help you whether you're trying naturally or through IVF or IUI. Acupuncture can have a powerful effect on the reproductive system, alone or in conjunction with Western medicine.
Acupuncture can regulate the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian Axis and direct blood flow to the uterus, which helps to explain why acupuncture is incredibly effective at addressing a wide array of women's health and fertility issues. At Salmon Arm Wellness Clinic, we also work in cooperation with Western medicine providers to improve your chances of success with Assisted Reproductive Technologies.
Through acupuncture, and nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, we address and maximize each phase of the menstrual cycle, regulate menstruation, promote ovulation, and encourage implantation in the luteal phase. We also work with many male counterparts in the fertility equation by helping improve sperm count, quality, and motility. We love it when couples come together for the initial consultation!

“We were waiting to be seen by a fertility clinic, and to make the call to them that we didn't need their help any longer was surreal! I am now 14 weeks pregnant, and so so grateful for Melanie and the treatments and support she has given us! Her caring and gentle bedside manner is so appreciated. She doesn't feel like just another health care practitioner, but rather a friend who truly cares about her patients.”

Why our natural infertility treatment works so well:
-
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE.
Complicated doesn't always mean more sophisticated, or better. Sometimes it's the simple approach that gets the biggest result. We work to identify the clearest treatments for YOUR pattern of infertility and go from there. These treatments may include acupuncture, herbal supplements, and simple, doable lifestyle tweaks to help get you pregnant, naturally.
-
WE USE A PROVEN SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN TREATING infertility SUCCESSFULLY AND NATURALLY FOR CENTURIES
We work on healing your body, at the deepest levels, with acupuncture, herbal supplements and simple lifestyle recommendations, to show your body the way back into balance. Your body wants to be healthy, balanced and thriving. We remind it how to get there, and give you simple steps to keep it there.
-
WE GET TO THE ROOT OF WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR INFERTILITY
PCOS? Low ovarian reserve? Endometriosis? Low progesterone? Male infertility? We work on identifying exactly WHY your body is out of balance, and then we simply and steadily bring it back into balance, promoting fertility and a healthy pregnancy. We are also happy to work with your Western medical reproductive team to improve outcomes.
-
WE REMIND YOUR BODY HOW TO LIVE IN BALANCE
Bodies are wise—they want to be efficient. We identify exactly where the imbalances lie and systematically work to address them. Irregular periods and ovulation? We get them back on track. Advanced maternal age? We help increase blood flow and vitality to the ovaries and reproductive system. PCOS-caused infertility? We help bring the inflammation down and regulate hormones. Premature ovarian failure? We’ve got solutions. No matter what your infertility is caused by, we work to provide natural solutions.
-
WE FOCUS ON HOW YOU FEEL, NOT JUST LAB REPORTS & PROTOCOLS
In the land of infertility, there’s a numbers game component. Lots of getting within particular ranges, and optimizing numbers. We help you reach those goals, but we also care about how you FEEL. Your body is not a machine, it is a container for your lovely human self. When you feel vibrant, balanced, and relaxed, fertility is a much more enjoyable process. We treat the whole person, not JUST the numbers.
-
OUR APPROACH ALWAYS INCLUDES SIMPLE LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROMOTE FERTILITY
We meet each patient where they are at in their health journey, and give appropriate recommendations based upon that. Sometimes it’s a simple meditation break. Sometimes it’s a doable lifestyle tweak. Sometimes its dietary adjustments. Sometimes it’s focus on getting a little more sleep. Our goal is for you to feel good in your body and your life, AND to get you pregnant, and we provide tools for you to get there faster.
Just as we are all individuals, infertility is unique to each person.
It shows up differently in different people. Our holistic methods look at the person and the pattern of imbalance, and we treat the big picture. The goal is always pregnancy, but getting to the bottom of what is causing the infertility is the deepest way to solving it. Our bodies want to be efficient. It actually takes a lot more work to live in a pattern of imbalance than it does to live in health and vitality. Our techniques remind the body that healing is a more efficient method of operating and that living with balanced hormones, plenty of energy, good sleep and regulated moods is its natural state.

We work with you to find the best combination for your unique condition. Here’s how our specialized combination of four powerful, time-tested, 100% natural therapies work to align your body’s hormones and build a foundation for fertility and a successful pregnancy.
-
GENTLE ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture has been healing bodies for centuries, by awakening and stimulating your own body’s innate healing process. It restores cells and tissues, cleans up what doesn’t belong there, and gets blood flow moving to reduce pain.
-
HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS
Herbal supplements simultaneously cure and strengthen the body. This is an important approach for infertility — herbal supplements can help bring hormones into balance while working on strengthening the body to support conception and pregnancy. This combination makes herbal medicine particularly well-suited to addressing all kinds of infertility.
-
NUTRITIONAL & LIFESTYLE THERAPY
When your tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, they naturally function at a very high level. When tissues are functioning at a high level, fertility is enhanced. We provide specialized (and doable, simple) dietary and lifestyle recommendations based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
-
RELAXATION & STRESS REDUCTION
When your body is in a state of relaxation, it is able to do repairs at the deepest level. In this state, your tissues, muscles, bones, and nerves become more synchronized and calm — creating the perfect stage for health and healing. This means less inflammation, better circulation, balanced hormones, a calmer mind, more energy and better mood.
FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION
At your free initial consultation, you’ll discuss your fertility, your medical history, medications you are currently taking, and most importantly, your goals. We want to be certain that our fertility program is a good fit for your needs and that there is a high probability of success for you, before we move forward to the next step.
DETAILED ASSESSMENT & TREATMENT PLAN
After your free consultation, and we agree that this program is a good fit for you, the next step forward is to start treatment which can be at the same visit. This will include your first acupuncture treatment, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and possibly herbal supplement suggestions to address the root of YOUR infertility.
TREATMENT & SYMPTOM RESOLUTION
You’ll return for weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel your body establishing a new pattern. We want to make sure your treatment plan is providing you with:
Balanced hormones
A regulated cycle with clear ovulation
Decreased inflammation
Improved lab numbers
More “good days” — energy, mood, stamina
Support for the success of IUI, IVF, FET
Pregnancy!
You’ll also receive acupuncture at each visit to ensure that your reproductive and hormonal system is rebalancing to return to its original pattern of health.
Transitional Care As Improvements Are Maintained
Once we see improvements that are maintaining over time, we will start spacing visits out further apart. This usually occurs after 8 to 12 visits, or after the first trimester of pregnancy, with some individual variability. We will go from weekly visits to visits every 10 to 14 days, then once a month, then on an as-needed basis for “tuneups.” We are here for you in case you have other healthcare issues you want to address. Of course, many of our patients wish to continue with regular maintenance, and we are always happy to work with you on that level, if that is your wish.
Taking Care of Your Loved Ones
We are honored and proud that most of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or members of the community who have experienced the profound effects of our work. We love to help people feel better in their bodies and their lives — it’s what we wake up excited to do, every day. We would love to help your family, friends and colleagues on their own path to better health — more joy, more energy, more focus, less pain.
