I was given an opportunity by Selby Acupuncture, the clinic I work out of, to do an on-site Acupuncture treatment for an IVF embryo transfer today at RMIA in Woodbury, MN today. I was very nervous to do this, not because Acupuncture is difficult, but because of sitting with the intensity of the stress of the patient and the pressure for a successful implantation. I received a lot of great encouragement and support from the clinic I work out of however. I wasn't sure I would enjoy the process to be honest because of my nerves, but once I put the needles in, I sat with the patient while holding KD 1, which is on the bottoms of the feet and is a very relaxing acupoint. Once I settled my own nervous system, I realized what a gift it was to be with a couple at the potential conception of their child. It was a really magical experience.
We as women are portals to the unknown, accessing that sacred "in between" space. What an amazing opportunity to connect with the divine feminine! Whether conception happens or not, it felt really good to be there as a support to the potential mother, to calm her nerves and settle her nervous system so her womb can relax and ripen for the little embryo to grow.
If you are considering IVF, Selby Acupuncture is in partnership with RMIA here in Minnesota. Studies have shown Acupuncture to increase the chances of IVF pregnancy from 26% to 42% in clinical trials. This medicine is so powerful!! ♥️🥚🐇🐣🌱
