Don't worry, acupuncture doesn't hurt. The needles are teeny tiny.
If you are interested in using Chinese medicine herbs, and acupuncture to optimize your fertility, here are some recommendations for practitioners in NYC who specialize in women’s health:
- Sara Frohlich, MSc, LAc, is in private practice as a licensed acupuncturist and certified herbalist. She also does some doula work and is just an all around lovely, knowledgeable woman. I was the doula for one of her clients and it made for a wonderful partnership! By the by, to support everyone’s healthy new year, Sara is offering 20% off one acupuncture treatment through January 31st. I think that’s a pretty good reason to get your chi in check asap!
- Erin Hessel, MSc, LAc, is the Director of Gynecological Health at the Berkeley Center for Reproductive Wellness and Women’s Health. Like Sara, she also has experience as a labor support doula. I haven’t yet met Erin in person, but have had some great professional interactions with her and am impressed with her work.
- I do not know Jill Blakeway, MSc, LAc, but she is mentioned in the interview of Dr. Sami David that was previously posted, and co-authored the book Making Babies.
