Mike Berkley, LAc, FABORM, is not just a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist—he’s a pioneer, a compassionate healer, and a beacon of hope for those navigating the challenging journey of infertility. As the founder and director of The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness in Manhattan’s Midtown East neighborhood, Mike has dedicated over 27 years to transforming lives by helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of parenthood. His unique blend of expertise, innovation, and heartfelt care makes him a leading figure in the field of reproductive medicine.
Mike’s path to becoming a fertility specialist is deeply personal. Years ago, he and his wife, Nancy, faced their own struggles with infertility. After conventional methods failed, Nancy sought the help of an acupuncturist and herbalist—a decision that changed their lives.
Within three months of treatment, she was pregnant, and they welcomed a healthy son, now 29 years old. This life-altering experience ignited Mike’s passion for holistic healing and inspired him to dedicate his career to helping others overcome similar challenges.
Driven by this transformative moment, Mike pursued rigorous training, earning his degree in acupuncture from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York and achieving National Board Certification in herbal medicine. From his first day of study, he knew his mission: to specialize in treating infertility and bring hope to those who feel it slipping away.
Mike Berkley holds a remarkable distinction as the first acupuncturist in the United States to focus exclusively on reproductive wellness. Since founding The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness in 1997, he has built a legacy of excellence, blending the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with cutting-edge Western reproductive science. His groundbreaking work has earned him recognition as one of the nation’s foremost experts in fertility acupuncture and herbal medicine.
With an unwavering commitment to his patients, Mike has developed innovative acupuncture protocols and proprietary herbal formulas tailored to each individual’s needs. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF or IUI, or seeking support to prevent miscarriage, Mike’s personalized approach addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of infertility—key components for success.
Mike’s expertise goes beyond his certifications. He’s a thought leader who collaborates with some of New York City’s most prestigious reproductive endocrinologists, creating a powerful “East meets West” approach to fertility care. His deep understanding of reproductive endocrinology and infertility—honed through decades of study and clinical practice—has made him a trusted resource for both patients and professionals. Colleagues like David Hoffman, M.D., of IVF Florida praise Mike’s “breadth of knowledge” and his exceptional ability to treat patients effectively.
At The Berkley Center, Mike and his team specialize in improving egg quality, sperm parameters, and uterine lining health—crucial factors that can make or break a fertility journey. His holistic treatments, including acupuncture, customized herbal medicine, and low-level light therapy, enhance blood flow, balance hormones, reduce stress, and optimize overall reproductive health. The result? Hundreds of patients have gone from despair to delight, celebrating successful pregnancies under his care.
For over two decades, Mike has been a steady hand guiding patients through the ups and downs of infertility. His clinic is more than just a treatment center—it’s a sanctuary where you’ll feel heard, respected, and empowered. Patients rave about his thoroughness, warmth, and dedication. One grateful couple shared, “Mike gave us hope when we were low… we are grateful to him for his part in our daughter’s story.” Another patient, now in her second trimester, said, “He became not just my acupuncturist but my therapist, coach, and friend.”
Mike’s impact extends beyond his clinic walls. He lectures nationwide, hosts seminars, and is writing a book on reproductive disorders and Chinese medicine, sharing his wisdom with the next generation of practitioners and patients alike. His work has been featured on television and radio, solidifying his reputation as a trusted authority in fertility care.
