Fertility Acupuncture & IVF Support in Phoenix, Arizona

Holistic Support for Women Trying to Conceive Naturally or Through IVF
Trying to conceive can feel exhausting and isolating, especially after months or years of negative tests, unexplained infertility, pregnancy loss or failed treatment cycles.
We use fertility acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and nutrition support to prepare your body for conception, with a particular focus on egg quality, cycle regulation, uterine lining and stress. Whether you’re trying naturally, preparing for IVF or IUI, recovering after a loss, or navigating endometriosis or PCOS, your plan is built around where you are right now.
Care is led by Rebecca Burrous, DCM, L.Ac., Dipl. OM, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine with 15 years of experience supporting fertility and women’s health. We’re happy to work alongside your fertility clinic.

After navigating endometriosis, genetic concerns, extensive testing, and fertility challenges, Leah ultimately conceived with the support of acupuncture and Chinese medicine at Oasis Women’s Clinic.
How We Support Your Fertility
Egg quality. This is one of our specialties and where we see some of our strongest results, including for women with low AMH, those over 35, and those coming off a disappointing IVF cycle. Eggs mature over roughly 90 days before ovulation, so the care you receive now shapes the eggs you’ll release three months from now.
Cycle regulation. Supporting regular ovulation for irregular, long, short or absent cycles.
Uterine lining and implantation. Supporting blood flow to the uterus and a healthy lining ahead of conception or embryo transfer.
IVF and IUI support. Care timed around your protocol, including before retrieval and around transfer.
Stress, sleep and mood. Trying to conceive is hard on the nervous system, and calming it is part of the work.
Partner support. Sperm health matters too, and partners are welcome.
“After a failed first round of IVF due to poor egg quality, I found Dr. Rebecca and decided to try acupuncture to improve egg quality. After four months of weekly sessions and herbs, we went through a second round of IVF and had absolutely fantastic results. We went from zero normal embryos in round one to SEVEN in round two. While everyone is different and may not experience the same results, I attribute my outcome mainly to her treatment.” -Catie S. ★★★★★
Fertility Research on Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
We have included links to some of the millions of studies on Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
One of the studies below involving women undergoing IVF found improved live birth outcomes among patients who received at least three months of regular acupuncture and Chinese medicine support prior to embryo transfer.
Additional studies have explored how acupuncture may influence ovarian function, follicular development, uterine lining support, and pelvic circulation.
