You've come to the right place.Fertility.
Eastern and Western medicine working together, supporting IVF cycles, natural conception, and reproductive health.
Whether you are preparing for IVF, navigating unexplained infertility, or working to regulate your cycle naturally, our approach addresses the whole picture: hormonal patterns, uterine blood flow, stress and sleep, and the emotional weight of the process. If you are working with an IVF clinic, we treat it as a joint effort: your specialist leads the Western medicine, we bring the Eastern medicine, and everyone works toward the same outcome.
About Your Practitioner
Maria Cappello came to Chinese medicine through her own journey with unexplained infertility and IVF. She understands this process from the inside: the uncertainty, the monitoring appointments, the two-week waits. Her clinical focus is fertility, IVF support, PCOS, and endometriosis.
An Honest, Evidence-Informed Approach
No overclaiming. No pressure.
You've probably read the research yourself. So have we. Here is honestly where acupuncture fits into a fertility journey.
What we focus on
Circulation and blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, cycle regulation, and the hormonal patterns behind conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, assessed through your history, cycle data, and any test results you bring.
The whole-body picture
Stress, sleep, and the emotional load of trying to conceive are part of the clinical picture, not an afterthought. Many patients tell us treatment is the one hour in their cycle where they feel looked after rather than measured.
What we don't do
We don't promise pregnancy outcomes, because no honest practitioner can. We don't ask you to step away from IVF or your specialist, and we won't pressure you into open-ended treatment packages at your first visit.
Part of your IVF team: treatment is timed to where you are: baseline and stimulation, before and after embryo transfer (including Sunday transfer-day appointments), and support through the two-week wait. Conceiving naturally instead? The same care maps to your cycle.
From Our Google Reviews
In their words
"Maria supported me through two IVF cycles. She understood the protocol, the timing, and exactly what my body was going through. I honestly believe her support made a real difference to how I coped, and we got there in the end."
"I came in with PCOS and a lot of anxiety about my fertility. Maria was calm, thorough, and never made me feel rushed. After three months of treatment my cycles regulated for the first time in years. Wish I'd found her sooner."
