Good health and balanced hormone levels are very important for conception. These two factors positively influence the development and health of the potential egg and creates favourable conditions to the uterine lining for implantation.

To optimize fertility and the health of your baby it is important to begin preconception treatments 3 to 4 months prior to conception. This is highly recommended for woman who are in their 30’s. Typically Acupuncture treatments are scheduled once a week for 3 to 4 months.
