When trying for a baby, and supporting yourself through pregnancy and post partum, it can be so effective to draw wisdom and support from multiple modalities and practises. 

Today we are diving into the world of traditional Chinese Medicine. This is not an area of expertise for me, but I have certainly felt the benefits personally and in shared clients with TCM practitioners, for supporting a journey into and throughout motherhood. 

I have with me today my very first international guest, Los Angelas based fertility expert Dr Beck Hoen, to explore this modality with us. 

Dr. Hoehn is a board-certified acupuncturist who treats pain, digestive disorders, stress, and hormonal imbalances and specializes in supporting women’s wellness and fertility.

Dr. Hoehn received a master’s degree with honors from the Emperor’s College of Oriental Medicine and her doctorate in fertility acupuncture from the Pacific College of Health Sciences. She is board-certified both nationally and in the state of California. In addition, Dr. Hoehn is also an active member of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM). Through ABORM, she pursued additional specialized training in reproductive health and fertility acupuncture and holds the distinction of being an ABORM fellow.
