If you're searching for fertility acupuncture near me, walking into a first appointment can feel like a big unknown. Here's what actually happens at Catch a Fish Wellness so you can feel prepared and at ease.


Before You Arrive

We'll ask about your cycle history, any fertility treatments you're pursuing (like IVF or IUI), sleep, digestion, and stress levels. Fertility acupuncture works best when we understand the whole picture, not just one symptom.


The Initial Assessment

Your first session includes a full intake and a hands-on assessment rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine — pulse, tongue, and a conversation about your goals and timeline.

  • A review of your cycle and fertility history

  • Discussion of any assisted reproduction plans (IVF, IUI, egg freezing)

  • A personalized treatment plan, not a one-size-fits-all protocol


During Treatment

Needles are hair-thin and most patients describe the sensation as a dull, brief pressure followed by deep relaxation. Many people doze off on the table.


If you've been comparing options for acupuncture for fertility near me, we recommend starting with a consultation so we can map out a plan tailored to your specific situation and timeline.
