Acupuncture for Infertility
Our team has been trained by Yinova’s founder Dr. Jill Blakeway, author of Making Babies, to enhance fertility with acupuncture, Chinese herbs and specialized fertility massage. We aim to optimize your ability to conceive either naturally or by working in conjunction with your doctor.
Acupuncture for Aches & Pains
Acting as a natural analgesic, acupuncture interrupts pain signaling, relieves spasms and reduces inflammation making it an effective way to manage pain.
Acupuncture for Allergies & Respiratory Health
We use acupuncture and Chinese herbs to treat upper respiratory tract infections, chronic coughs, sinusitis, shortness of breath, seasonal allergies and asthma.

At the Yinova Center, we also offer various types of energy medicine beyond TCM, including massage, nutritional therapy, and even the occasional sessions with a medical medium. Throughout Jill’s career, she has been a leader in cutting edge energy medicine, bringing this to the Yinova Center.

Common Questions
Can I receive massage and acupuncture back-to-back?
In most cases, that is absolutely fine! If you do come in for back-to-back treatments, it does not matter which you do first or second, however we have found many of our clients enjoy the massage before their treatment. If you have just had an embryo transfer during an IVF cycle, however, we would recommend taking it easy and checking in with your practitioner before scheduling your appointments all at once.
Can I see the same practitioner for every treatment?
Absolutely! You can also see a different practitioner each week if that works better with your schedule. The Yinova team works collaboratively, so any practitioner you see will have access to your chart and will be fully informed about your case, enabling them to provide you with continuity of care.
Can I schedule a consultation only?
You can also speak to a practitioner on the phone before booking your Initial Consultation. Just let the front desk know, and they will arrange a call for you. We also offer herbal consultations, with no acupuncture treatment. These are an opportunity to speak with one of our practitioners, where you will go over your health history and they will prescribe you an herbal formula as well as offer any dietary/lifestyle advice they may have.
