Postpartum Acupuncture
Fatigue
Postpartum fatigue stands is a reality for many new moms, stemming from the physical rigor of childbirth, erratic sleep schedules, and the constant demands of newborn care. Acupuncture is a potent remedy, providing relaxation, stimulating energy levels, and improving overall wellness. Our protocol entails acupuncture sessions, which mitigate stress and increase vitality. Along with acupuncture, our customized herbal prescriptions are created to bolster the body’s recuperative processes and provide enduring energy. This integrative approach empowers new mothers to feel stronger, more positive, rejuvenated and vivacious.
Baby Blues
The baby blues, manifesting as mild mood fluctuations, anxiety, and irritability, afflict many of new moms. These emotional ups and downs frequently arise from hormonal upheavals and the stress of acclimating to motherhood. Acupuncture can help facilitate mood stability by inducing the release of endorphins and other mood-enhancing neurotransmitters. Our approach incorporates regular acupuncture treatments directly addressing these emotional disturbances. Our herbal formulations are created to bolster emotional health, significantly reduce anxiety, and foster tranquility. These therapies deliver effective relief from the baby blues, aiding new mommies in handling this transitional phase with greater ease.
And significantly increase your odds of having a take-home baby.
Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression, a more serious issue can severely impair a mom’s capacity to care for herself and her infant. Symptoms may include sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. Acupuncture is very effective in alleviating depressive symptoms by modulating neurotransmitters and diminishing stress. Our protocol entails acupuncture sessions aimed at reinstating emotional balance and enhancing mental calmness. In addition to acupuncture, our herbal medicine formulas are specifically created to support mental health, elevate mood, and combat depression. Our holistic approach offers significant relief for those suffering with postpartum depression.
Postpartum PTSD
Postpartum PTSD can occur following a traumatic childbirth experience, manifesting as flashbacks, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness. Acupuncture serves as a formidable instrument in managing PTSD by fostering relaxation, reducing anxiety, and enhancing sleep quality. Our approach includes specialized acupuncture treatments focusing on addressing PTSD symptoms and facilitating emotional recovery. Additionally, our herbal medicine blends are designed to pacify the nervous system, diminish stress hormones, and augment overall emotional resilience. These synergistic treatments assist new mothers in recovering from traumatic experiences and regaining emotional stability.
Postpartum Anxiety
Postpartum anxiety, typified by worry, restlessness, and physical issues such as a racing heart, is a common affliction among new mothers. Acupuncture can effectively manage anxiety by calming the nervous system and engendering tranquility. Our regimen involves regular acupuncture sessions targeting points associated with anxiety relief and stress reduction. Our customized herbal blends further bolster this process by incorporating herbs known to alleviate anxiety and promote relaxation. This cohesive approach alleviates the symptoms of postpartum anxiety, enabling new mothers to feel composed and focused.
Sleep Deprivation
Sleep deprivation is a real issue for new mothers, frequently resulting in irritability, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Acupuncture can enhance sleep quality by regulating the body’s circadian rhythms and reducing stress. Our protocol includes acupuncture treatments designed to promote restful sleep and overall relaxation. In tandem with acupuncture, our herbal medicine formulations aim to support healthy sleep patterns, reduce nighttime awakenings, and improve sleep duration. This dual approach helps new mothers achieve better sleep, enhancing their overall health and well-being.

Mike is a licensed and board certified acupuncturist as well as a board certified herbalist. He is a fertility specialist at The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.
My wife and I wanted to start a family. We tried, and we failed repeatedly. I was not an acupuncturist then and had no understanding or belief in it. That did not hold much weight with my wife. We both underwent testing and found out that I had poor morphology and poor motility, and she had anti-sperm antibodies. Nancy saw an acupuncturist and herbalist, who also convinced me to go for treatment. Three months later, Nancy was pregnant. We now have a twenty-nine-year-old, healthy, happy, and successful son. This is when I became a believer. I decided to go to acupuncture school. I went for four years for acupuncture studies and then two more years to study herbal medicine. I knew from the first day at school that I wanted to specialize in treating others who were suffering from the terrible and challenging battle of infertility. I have spent the last twenty-seven years making my dream come true by helping my patient’s dreams come true. I am so grateful for the path I chose. A life dedicated to helping others has shown me a satisfaction I would have never known. I am thankful to my wife, and I am grateful to my patients.
This experience led Mike to obtain his degree in acupuncture from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine’s New York campus and his National Board Certification in herbal medicine. Equipped with the necessary license and fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Mike studied Western medical approaches and the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine about infertility treatment. Through rigorous study and invaluable clinical experience, he developed unique acupuncture protocols and proprietary herbal formulas, tailoring them to each individual or couple seeking his assistance.
