Pulse Taking for Fertility

What do Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine benefit?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine based on over 5,000 years of knowledge and understanding of the human body and mind. It is the fastest growing health care system in the United States today and the longest continually practiced medicine in the world.

Acupuncture’s benefits are vast and expansive, including many of the physical, mental and emotional aspects of fertility, pregnancy, labor and delivery, women's health and more.

Because of this, our practice at Mitchell Family Acupuncture in Berkeley is just as extensive. We specialize in a personalized approach fertility, pregnancy, post partum and health for women and men, honoring Eastern tradition and combining it with Western principles and lifestyle.

  • “ I can't say enough good things about Amy.  I saw her when my partner and I were trying to conceive our second child and throughout my pregnancy.  She was thorough, thoughtful, and compassionate.  Her care really helped ease both the physical and emotional challenges of conception and pregnancy. “
    — H.L.
  • “ A dear friend who happens to be an Emergency Doctor led me straight away to Amy when I told her I was looking for a fertility acupuncturist. The minute I met Amy I knew I met a very special person and healer. I highly recommend Amy and feel blessed and secure knowing she is by my side on my fertility journey. ”
    — T.B.
  • “ I’ve been having chronic back and wrist pains for about seven years now. The acute pain in my wrist and the ongoing back issues became too much for me.  Alison treated me, and within 2 visits the pain had subsided. After a few more visits, I couldn’t believe the difference it made! ”
    — J.H.
  • “ My patient who I referred to Alison began to weep when she described her experience of acupuncture with Alison to me. The relief was so tangible that any doubt she had in her mind about the efficacy of the medicine was gone. ”
    — A.M.
