Pulling Down the Moon offers holistic care for fertility that is highly personal, compassionate, and customized. Our practice is physician-supported and committed to evidence-based practices.
Trying to conceive naturally: Whether you’ve been trying to conceive for months or are just starting out, our practitioners can help you navigate your cycles and learn how to maximize your efforts. Are you ovulating? Is your luteal phase long enough? These are some of the questions our practitioners can help answer to ensure you are making the most of your month.
Our practitioners may recommend you chart your temperature and will help you read and decipher your basil body temperature (BBT) charts, which can help you confirm if you are in fact ovulating. They may also recommend Chinese herbs, supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes that are customized specifically to you. We can also work simultaneously to address chronic health challenges beyond fertility – including irritable bowel symptoms, migraines, period pain, and digestive issues that many women experience.
Don’t wait for cycle day 1 to book your initial consultation, you can start treatment at any time!
Egg quality: One of the most common questions we get at Pulling Down the Moon is whether holistic treatment can impact/improve egg quality. While age still matters, the thinking around egg quality has evolved over the last decade and a diagnosis of poor egg quality has the potential to change/improve. While no treatment has 100% success rate, holistic treatments like acupuncture, massage, yoga and nutrition counseling work to improve the environment eggs develop within by increasing blood flow, lowering hormonal disruption through stress management and improved sleep, and decreasing inflammation that can impair cell function.
IUI: Now that you have begun assisted therapy with your OB or RE our services are a great compliment to the meds you are taking. Our approach is still the same: we work with you and customize a plan that is tailored to your needs. During your medicated cycle, we are still treating each phase of your cycle, working to support your body’s physical and mental wellbeing. Our practitioners are well versed in the various meds and timing of cycles and use points to not only help stimulate follicle growth and development but to increase blood flow to the uterus to support implantation and healthy pregnancy. We can also work simultaneously to address chronic health challenges beyond fertility – including irritable bowel symptoms, migraines, period pain and digestive issues that many women experience.
