At Copley Acupuncture in Salem, I’ve helped individuals and couples move through the fertility journey with more clarity, confidence, and support for over 25 years. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or working with a fertility clinic, acupuncture can play a meaningful role in balancing hormones, improving circulation, and reducing the stress that can affect conception.

​

My approach combines acupuncture, functional medicine, and advanced low-level laser therapy to support every phase of your fertility journey.

Acupuncture has been shown in numerous studies to help:

   •    Improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
   •    Enhance egg quality and endometrial receptivity

   •    Improve luteal phase health

Fertility acupuncture can support individuals and couples at many stages of their fertility journey. Patients often seek care for:

​

• Preparing the body for natural conception

​​Advanced Laser Therapy for Fertility

​

For the past 20 years, I’ve specialized in using low-level laser therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) to support fertility and improve egg quality. I developed one of the first fertility-focused laser acupuncture programs in the U.S., and I continue to stay at the forefront of this research-based, non-invasive treatment. My latest article published in Acupuncture Today is available here. There is also a podcast version available for a quick listen!

​

Studies from Denmark, Japan, and beyond show that laser therapy may significantly increase pregnancy rates—particularly for women undergoing IVF or those with diminished ovarian reserve.

Pregnancy Support

​

Acupuncture can also support a healthy, more comfortable pregnancy by helping relieve:

   •    Morning sickness, fatigue, and acid reflux
   •    Sciatica, back pain, carpal tunnel, and swelling
   •    Anxiety, insomnia, and stress
   •    Discomfort as the body prepares for labor

​

I also offer gentle techniques that may assist with turning breech babies and preparing the body for a smoother birth.
