- Are you frustrated and wondering why you are not conceiving?

Fertility challenges come from a multitude of sources, including
- irregular cycles
- anovulation (no ovulation)
- ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids
- endometriosis and adenomyosis
- polycystic ovarian syndrome
- diminished ovarian reserve and advanced maternal age
- luteal phase defect
- unexplained infertility
- endocrine disorders, such as thyroid
- low libido
- male factor infertility
- stress and anxiety impacting fertility
Dr. Margo first begins with a very detailed health history and intake session. She uses both eastern and western diagnostic methods to address the underlying root cause of infertility and the resulting symptoms. If you are coming in person, you will receive a fertility acupuncture treatment and possibly adjunct therapies. We will go over an individualized treatment plan, typically covering
- Fertility acupuncture or fertility acupressure
- Customized herbal and natural supplement recommendations (all patients receive a 15% discount through our Fullscript store)
- Specific dietary changes
- Lifestyle recommendations, which often include stress reduction and meditation practices
- Intercourse timing suggestions
- Other supportive natural and holistic therapies
- Suggested follow up appointment schedule for on-going support, modifications to your treatment plan and opportunities to address other concerns.

“Dr. Margo was an invaluable resource to me during my fertility and pregnancy journey.. Thanks to her, I skipped the medical route altogether and went straight to ayurveda and acupuncture with Dr. Margo.
She gave me supplements and we started weekly treatments to encourage my fertility (I was 39.) She gave us very helpful advice about monitoring my ovulation and timing our lovemaking to maximize our chances of conception. I have to believe this helped, because we conceived within two months of working with her! It felt like our baby had just been waiting for us to say we were truly ready.
I was terrified of miscarriage, to the point that I almost expected it to happen, since it was my first pregnancy. I saw Dr. Margo every other week during the first trimester into the second, when we made a big move to live closer to family. I looked forward to our visits as a moment to claim this precious experience, and to really be present with my baby. Her focus was on supporting and nourishing the pregnancy. She used strategic acupuncture and always took time to talk with me, hear how my body and mind were doing, and guided me to vitamins and dietary choices that would be supportive.
We also bought her book Yoga Mama, Yoga Baby, and did exercises and meditations from it throughout the pregnancy. Her help put me in a calmer and more confident state during my pregnancy, and it was a smooth and easy one, with no major complications. Dylan is a happy and healthy 11-month old now!”A.T
