Pulling Down the Moon

During Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we are making space for all the ways loss can be experienced along the fertility journey. 💙

For some, that loss may be a miscarriage or the loss of a baby. For others, it may be a cancelled cycle, a failed treatment or transfer, a negative pregnancy test, or the loss of hopes and expectations they carried for their path to parenthood.

We understand that grief doesn't always look the same and there is no single way to experience or move through it.

In this video, our patient Erin shares her personal story of loss with her daughter Hope and the journey that eventually led her to her rainbow baby Archer. Her story is a beautiful reminder that joy and grief can exist alongside one another and that welcoming a rainbow baby does not erase the love or loss that came before.

This month, we honor every patient and family whose fertility journey has included loss, in whatever form that loss has taken. Your experience and feelings matter. Please know that you don't have to navigate this journey alone. Our community is here and our friends at have many resources along with the holistic care we provide for you at our centers.

Join us this weekend with the Chicago Chapter at the Remember Us Still walk for community, support, and to make a difference!

✨ Sometimes, you just have to trust your gut.

When you’re TTC, finding the right care team can make all the difference.

Tanya switched doctors. Tanya tried acupuncture. And along the way, she learned an important lesson: when it comes to fertility, finding practitioners who specialize in fertility care matters.

At Pulling Down the Moon, we believe fertility care should support the whole you. 💙

Our Chicago and Northshore centers bring together fertility-focused holistic care and support - including acupuncture for fertility, Fertility Enhancing Massage, functional nutrition counseling, Yoga for Fertility, and more - to complement your fertility treatment and help you feel more supported throughout your journey.

Because you deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

You deserve providers who understand fertility, a community that gets it, and support that meets you where you are.

And if you’re not in Chicagoland, you can still bring that support with you through our app - with expert resources and online support right at your fingertips.

Trust your gut. Find fertility-focused support. Take back a little more control of your TTC journey. ❤️

We were thrilled to share the benefits of holistic healthcare at the Pause and Prosper Wellness event to support care through perimenopause and menopause.

Massage Director Meredith Nathan shared the benefits of massage and Acupuncturist Kelsi Karch explained the benefit of acupuncture. Participants were even able to try ear seeds themselves for the interactive part of the event. 💆‍♀️

Community and education have always been an essential piece of the care we provide for women’s holistic healthcare at all stages - we are here for you!

Remembering Dolly Parton: The Woman Behind the Rhinestones

Dolly Parton was so much more than a singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and cultural icon. She was a woman who lived a very full life while carrying things that many women quietly carry every day.

Dolly experienced endometriosis and underwent a partial hysterectomy. She had once imagined having children, though her reproductive health journey ultimately meant that biological motherhood would not be part of her story.

But look at the story she did create.

She wrote thousands of songs, built businesses, and starred on screen. She created Dollywood. She championed literacy through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which has put hundreds of millions of books into children's hands. She supported medical research, education, disaster relief, and countless communities. And she became a source of joy, courage, humor, and possibility for generations of people.

Her life is a beautiful reminder that our health challenges may change our path, but they do not have to diminish the size of our life. And her story also reminds us why women's health deserves so much more attention.

Endometriosis is more than painful periods. It can mean chronic pain, inflammation, fatigue, fertility challenges, surgeries, hormonal changes, and years of trying to get answers. Too many women have learned to normalize suffering instead of being heard and supported.

This is where we believe holistic healthcare has an important role.

Holistic care doesn't mean ignoring conventional medicine. It means looking at the whole woman - her hormones, nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, mental and emotional wellbeing, relationships, environment, and the symptoms her body is communicating.

Sometimes life throws things at us that we never would have chosen.

A diagnosis.
A surgery.
A change in fertility.
A hormonal transition.
A chronic condition.
A loss.
A new chapter we didn't plan for.

We may not get to choose every circumstance in life, but we can choose to give our bodies and ourselves the support they deserve along the way.

Dolly Parton showed the world what it looks like to keep creating, giving, loving, dreaming, and showing up - even when life doesn't unfold exactly as imagined.

As we remember Dolly following her passing at 80, perhaps one of the greatest ways to honor her is to keep talking about the things women have historically been expected to endure quietly.

Because every woman deserves the opportunity to live a life that is bigger than the health challenges she has faced.

Dolly certainly did. 💗
