What Is Fertility Acupuncture?

Fertility acupuncture is a holistic, time-tested approach to supporting reproductive health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it focuses on restoring balance in the body, regulating hormones, improving circulation to the reproductive organs, and reducing stress—key components for fertility and overall well-being.

At Cape Fear Acupuncture, fertility care is gentle, personalized, and inclusive. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, planning an IVF or IUI cycle, or exploring options after loss or hormonal imbalance, we meet you exactly where you are. Acupuncture is never a one-size-fits-all process—your treatment plan is carefully tailored to your cycle, constitution, history, and emotional needs.

In many cases, we may also recommend Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle guidance, or nutrition support based on your unique goals. And we’re happy to coordinate care with your OB/GYN, reproductive endocrinologist, or midwife to create a truly integrated support system.

Expert Fertility Care with a Personal Connection

Fertility acupuncture isn’t just part of Alison's practice—it’s part of her story.

As the first acupuncturist in Southeastern North Carolina to become board-certified in reproductive medicine through the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM), Alison has undergone specialized training in the treatment of infertility, menstrual irregularities, and reproductive health. This prestigious certification, held by only a handful of practitioners in the state, reflects her deep commitment to evidence-informed, integrative care.

But beyond credentials, Alison brings something equally important: empathy.

She and her husband faced fertility challenges firsthand. She knows the heartbreak of uncertainty, the emotional toll of each cycle, and the strength it takes to keep hoping. That personal experience fuels her mission to create a safe, judgment-free space—a place where you can breathe, decompress, and feel seen.

At Cape Fear Acupuncture, supporting people through fertility struggles isn’t just a service. It’s an honor. Every patient is met with warmth, understanding, and a deeply personalized plan to support both the body and heart on this journey.

Feel Supported at Every Stage of Your Journey

Read Tori's fertility acupuncture success story:

“Alison was an invaluable member of my fertility ‘team.’ From initial diagnosis, to laparoscopic surgery, to IUIs and eventually IVF and pregnancy, she was a trusted ally during a long and difficult journey. She was with us at every stage to share her wisdom and recommendations, and I never felt judged or pressured to try any treatment plan I wasn’t comfortable with. I am forever grateful for her skill and compassion, and thanks to her help we now have 2 beautiful, rambunctious boys!”
