Fertility Acupuncture in Calgary
EXTRA PINK LINES & HEALTHY PREGNANCIES
Trying to conceive can quietly take over your whole life. The tracking, the waiting, the hope and disappointment that arrive each month. It asks so much of your body, and just as much of your heart.
At TerraSana Health, Dr. Ashley Abbs supports your body, your cycle and your heart as you move toward pregnancy. Whether you're trying naturally, working with a fertility clinic, or preparing for IUI or IVF, her care is here to help you keep the dream and let go of the struggle.
Supporting every path to pregnancy
Natural conception: preparing your body and cycle to conceive
Alongside fertility medicine: working together with your doctor or clinic
IUI and IVF: support from the start of your protocol through transfer day and beyond
The Living Fertile Method
Ashley's signature Living Fertile Method unifies science with soul. A thorough clinical assessment identifies what may be affecting your fertility, physically and emotionally. Five Element acupuncture, along with Chinese herbs and supplement guidance where helpful, then supports your body's own intelligence and the delicate rhythm of your cycle.
Just as important, sessions make space for your heart and mind. Fertility is a season of hoping, waiting and becoming, and you don't have to carry it alone.

You're on a waitlist for IUI or IVF and want to prepare your body in the meantime

You've done everything right and are still asking, "Why isn't this happening?"
You're grieving a loss and want support before trying again
How it works
Every person's needs are different. As a general guide, three to six months of care before a natural or assisted conception is ideal, since it takes about three months for an egg to mature. If you're already mid-cycle, it's not too late to begin.
Acupuncture sessions are usually weekly, with Chinese herbs and supplement suggestions added where they'll help. During IVF, treatments are timed around your clinic's protocol, including retrieval and transfer.
