Fertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum Support

Talia Brooks-Salzman, L.Ac, MSOM is passionate about supporting people in all phases of life. The time transitioning into parenthood can be a profound time to learn the strength and capacity of the body. Acupuncture for fertility has gained national recognition for it’s efficacy in helping people get pregnant. Using acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and nutritional therapy, we can support you to regulate your cycle, lower stress levels, and ride of the waves of pregnancy to find more comfort in the process. In more complicated cases of infertility, Chinese medicine is an asset to Western medicine and IVF and IUI interventions. In addition, Chinese medicine is invaluable during postpartum recovery. This is known as the “fourth trimester” and is a time where the body needs more nourishment and emotional support to build back up resources and have enough energy for the demands of child raising.
