Cycle-Aware Fertility Care

Cycle Regulation Method

At the heart of my treatments is the Cycle Regulation Method — a phase-specific approach that aligns with the four stages of your menstrual cycle. Instead of a one-size-fits-all protocol, it is a dynamic system that uses customized herbal formulas, acupuncture, and lifestyle guidance to restore harmony and support fertility naturally.

How it works
Phase-specific support across your entire cycle.

The Cycle Regulation Method follows your physiology instead of forcing it. Each phase of the cycle receives its own treatment focus — from clearing what no longer serves, to nourishing what is growing, to stabilizing what needs to hold.

This method has been shown to help regulate hormones such as FSH, LH, and estrogen, improve ovulation rates, and enhance endometrial receptivity — all key factors in fertility success.

For those undergoing IVF, the Cycle Regulation Method acts as a powerful adjunct, helping optimize your body’s response to stimulation, support implantation, and improve overall treatment experience.

Four phases, one continuous rhythm
What each phase focuses on in treatment.
Menstruation Phase

Promotes detoxification and blood circulation to clear stagnation, creating an optimal environment for new growth — think of it as a gentle reset for your uterine lining.

Post-Menstruation Phase

Nourishes the kidney essence — TCM’s foundation for reproductive vitality — to support follicle development and egg quality, akin to enhancing ovarian reserves.

Ovulation Phase

Facilitates smooth energy flow to ensure timely and healthy ovulation, often combined with acupuncture to echo natural hormone peaks.

Pre-Menstruation Phase

Stabilizes the luteal phase for better implantation, fostering progesterone-like support to prepare the body for potential pregnancy.

For IVF & IUI support
Working alongside your medical treatment plan.

When you are preparing for, or in the middle of, IVF or IUI, timing matters. The Cycle Regulation Method can be mapped onto stimulation, trigger, retrieval, transfer, and the two-week wait to support your body at each stage.

Treatments focus on improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, regulating the stress response, and supporting sleep and digestion — all of which may influence how you respond to medication and how your body prepares for implantation.
