It was for OUR PATIENTS…
The Wholesome Lotus helps countless women overcome reproductive challenges ranging from infertility to menstrual cycle irregularities and everything in between! Michelle and her team Zsanett and Sofia help couples improve their overall fertility health. We don’t only do fertility (see FAQ’s below).
Treatments consist of not only acupuncture, but a holistic approach of the patient as a whole by implementing other modalities such as lifestyle protocols, diet, supplements, herbals, moxa, and mindset.
We see patients from their twenties to their forties who are trying to conceive naturally or through IVF.
Browse through our FAQ’s below for more information!
FERTILITY TREATMENTS
Common reproductive conditions we treat are poor ovarian reserve, PCOS, unexplained infertility, endometriosis, ovarian insufficiency, poor egg quality, poor uterine lining, Hypothalamic amenorrhea, anovulation, dysmenorrhea, irregular periods, and more!
IVF SUPPORT
Acupuncture works very well in supporting IVF treatments. It is recommended to begin a few months before the IVF cycles in order prepare the body for optimal IVF outcome. Treatments are done to improve hormonal balance, egg quality, and for stress reduction during a woman’s IVF treatment protocol.
PREGNANCY SUPPORT
Pregnancy requires a lot of energy and reserves with which acupuncture can greatly accommodate. Acupuncture can also alleviate many symptoms associated with early pregnancy. We incorporate a protocol after 37 weeks to prepare for labor. We also treat common symptoms associated with late pregnancy such as lower back pain and swelling. Breech presentation can also be treated with acupuncture, though we do recommend starting as soon as possible.
postnatal treatments
After a woman gives birth, her body loses a lot of energy from supporting the pregnancy and the labor process. We support the body’s recovery through acupuncture as well as supplement and diet recommendations. We also use protocols that help improve lactation and increase breastmilk for breastfeeding mothers.
What our patients are saying
“When I first met with Michelle, I had been struggling with unexplained infertility for over a year. After just a few months of working together, I was able to conceive naturally and am 4 months along in my pregnancy.
I can’t recommend Michelle enough. She
is intelligent, compassionate and truly great at what she does.”
“Michelle is the best and has helped me in so many ways! When I first met Michelle, she took a thorough history of my health and asked tons of questions about my life. It was very comforting knowing she was taking the time to really get to know me to properly help me. She also answered all my questions with patience and kindness.”
“ After almost three years of struggling with fertility challenges i was recommended to her by my reproductive endocronologist. My sessions with Michelle were relaxing and restorative, she even found a way to help me thicken my uterine lining ahead of my transfer day.”
“During my pregnancy ultrasound we found out that my baby was in a posterior position which can cause a much longer and painful delivery. I did an extensive search for exercises or solutions to flip the baby’s position and decided to try acupuncture. In just one acupuncture session with Michelle at the Wholesome Lotus, my baby flipped!!”
“Michelle is amazing. From the moment we met I felt at ease in her capable hands. Navigating the fertility process with her by my side made it a much more positive experience— so much so that now that I am expecting I continue to work with her to ensure a happy/healthy pregnancy!!!”
“Michelle is wonderful. She helped me with my first pregnancy mind body and soul! I highly recommend her!”

FAQ’s
-
Studies have shown that acupuncture can help regulate the menstrual cycle, balance hormones, and increase blood flow to the reproductive organs. This improved blood flow can enhance the chances of conception by providing more oxygen and nutrients to the eggs and uterus. Acupuncture can also reduce stress and anxiety, which can have a negative impact on fertility.
In addition to its physical benefits, acupuncture can also improve the emotional and mental well-being of couples struggling with infertility. The process of trying to conceive can be emotionally draining and stressful, causing feelings of anxiety and depression. Acupuncture can help alleviate these symptoms by promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.
-
Yes! While Michelle treats mostly female related conditions (fertility, prenatal, postnatal, menstrual irregularities, hormone balance) with a focus on fertility, Zsanett and Sofia also treat conditions such as insomnia, pain, and anxiety along with fertility. Feel free to call or text us at 786 558 3254 if you have further questions!

Absolutely! Studies show that acupuncture helps the success of IVF outcomes. A large percentage of our patients are actively getting ART treatments and we use specific protocols to help improve their response. Our treatments also support unique needs depending on what type of ART the patients are preparing for (IUI, Retrieval, or Transfer).
-
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a form of light therapy that uses red and near-infrared lights at a ‘low level’ to promote healing. It’s also called Cold Laser Therapy and is FDA-approved. Safe, quick, and painless, LLLT for fertility is beneficial for women struggling with:
Poor quality eggs due to PCOS or advanced age
Endometriosis
Recurrent abdominal infections
Thin uterine lining that hampers IVF
Low-Level Laser Therapy also works for women who do not respond to conventional fertility treatments, as well as those with a history of D and C or an abdominal surgery that’s interfering with their ability to conceive.
At The Wholesome Lotus, we use advanced Celluma Light Therapy to help our clients get the maximum benefits.
-
When it comes to reproductive health, it takes a minimum of three months for the lifestyle changes as well as the acupuncture sessions to take effect when it comes to the reproductive health. The menstrual cycle can begin to see improvements after at least a few months. Other conditions such as pain, stress relief, and sleep can be felt earlier than three months.
-
In order for the sessions to make a lasting impact, sessions should be scheduled at least once per week. Some people schedule biweekly at first and eventually move to weekly. More than a week between sessions isn’t as effective.
-
The initial consultation can take anywhere between 60-90 minutes. Follow up sessions are 45-60 minutes (needle retention is give or take 30-35 minutes).
*Please note, our cancellation policy is 24 hours before your appointment.
