Building your family isn’t always as easy or as a fun as a carefree night.

For 1 in 6 couples, s*x alone just doesn’t work—and the emotional impact can be overwhelming. 💔

That’s why therapist Pauline Walfisch, LCSW, PMH-C, teamed up with acupuncturist Andrew Kaplan, M.S., L.Ac. to share how therapy + acupuncture can support the whole person on the fertility journey. (disclaimer: the acupuncture session in the video was not fertility related)

You can see how gentle the needles are placed and just how tiny they are.

From regulating hormones to calming the nervous system, this mind-body partnership offers healing that goes beyond lab results. 🌿

Because fertility care should nurture your heart, mind, and body.
