Holistic LGBTQIA+ Fertility Support for Your Family
Portland Acupuncture Studio is honored to provide affirming fertility and pregnancy care for the LGBTQIA+ community. We have over 25 years’ experience helping our community build their families with holistic medicine.
As acupuncturists, we offer you highly effective alternatives to conventional medicine to support your fertility and your pregnancy. We use a combination of customized acupuncture, herbs and supplements, bodywork, and therapeutic exercises to guide you to your best health, so you can get pregnant and have a healthy baby.
We are also experienced in integrative medicine, and work closely with Portland-area fertility clinics as well as a wide range of other inclusive providers to ensure that you get the best care possible. We work with your team to increase your chances of success, and we continue our specialized care throughout pregnancy to support your baby’s health at every stage.

We spend time with you at each session getting to know you and answering your questions. We are a safe, unintimidating place to learn about and explore your options. Our 25+ years of specializing in fertility care make us a great resource for you to learn about the particulars of LGBTQIA+ fertility care.
Need to understand more about insemination timing? We’ve got your back. Have questions about how IVF works? We’ll take the time to explain the basics. Just got a diagnosis you don’t understand? We can talk you through it so you are ready when you see your provider.
