About

Seed Acupuncture in Encinitas is a women-owned fertility-focused clinic founded by a board-certified reproductive and perinatal acupuncturist who holds a B.A. from Dartmouth College and a summa cum laude Master's in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from AIMC Berkeley, with doctoral studies in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine at Yo San University. The practice operates from the Devonshire Medical Building on the Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas campus, positioning acupuncture within a medical-campus environment that facilitates referral coordination with reproductive endocrinologists—a collaborative model shared by the spinal-care practitioners at Coherence Chiropractic. Membership in the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society, American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and Obstetrical Acupuncture Association reflects a research-informed scope spanning IVF and IUI co-treatment, menstrual-cycle regulation, and prenatal through postpartum support. Custom Chinese herbal formulas and nutritional guidance complement needle protocols, a whole-body approach that parallels the dietary-medicine work at Stretch Zone. Individualized pre-and-post frozen-embryo-transfer acupuncture protocols target endometrial receptivity and uterine blood flow, a clinical approach informed by 2022 Fertility and Sterility research associating targeted FET acupuncture with measurably improved live-birth outcomes.
